Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tupiocoris notatus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mesophyll (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for your interesting presentation yesterday The article I was talking about is located at Wikiversity:Average weight of a conventional teaspoon made of metal, and the process itself at Wikiversity:Wikiversity:Peer review verification if you want to have a look. I hope to see you another time, perhaps some Wikimania. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:49, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Mikael! -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 12:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

While we are on this issue, could you write a script that compares existing Commons category/page and check if the corresponding Wikispecies page has an image? I know it has been done before for biographies. I have already tried contacting that individual but he seemed to be inactive since mid-December. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 17:36, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I contacted him by email. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 21:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

He replied "The code is here but I don't think is easy to adapt to Wikispecies". -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 10:49, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Did he say why? Frankly I think it should be much easier than that project since matching scientific species name is much more accurate. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 07:25, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Nope. That's all he said, and I haven't yet found the time to take a closer look. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 15:01, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for helping to fix the formatting. I'm pretty sure the alpha version of the new Visual Editor added those extraneous bullets! :) -- Fuzheado | Talk 20:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Glad to help, and looking forward to the course. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 20:12, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

You applied to be a speaker at the GLAM WIKI conference (12-14 April 2013) and I was hoping you could answer a few questions.

• Do you need funding to attend the conference?
• If so, have you asked your chapter for support?
• If you chapter is unable to offer financial support, how much would you need to attend the conference?

As yet speakers are undecided - we hope to make a decisions towards the end of the month - but you response would be helpful.

Your talk page is now on my watchlist in case you reply here, or your are welcome to email me at [email protected] Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 14:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The citation you linked was to a completely different paper in the same issue of Zookeys. While it's nice that you tried to simplify the link, please be sure that if you do so again, the link you are inserting is the correct one. Thanks, Dyanega (talk)

Thanks for checking. However, I had only changed the formatting to a more standard one, leaving the doi as provided by you. If you want to refer to the other article, you can simply use {{Cite doi|10.3897/zookeys.269.4255}}. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 23:29, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
