[edit] Red Cedar move

Hi Peter1968! I have already listed two botanical sources in Toona ciliata:

  • NSW FloraOnline by Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. See:
http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Toona~ciliata
In that site the current name of the Red Cedar is Toona ciliata M.Roem. and Toona australis (F.Muell.) Harms is a synonym.
  • GRIN Taxonomy for Plants by USDA, ARS, National Genetic Resources Program. See:
http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?36753
Also in this site the current name is T. ciliata M.Roem., and there are 3 synonyms: Cedrela toona, Cedrela velutina, and Toona australis Harms. This site gives natural distribution: Afganistan, China, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, AUSTRALIA (NSW and Queensland).


Other online sources, for example:
  • Australian Plant Census by Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria. See:
http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_id=63392
Toona ciliata M.Roem. is again the correct name and Toona australis (F.Muell.) Harms is a synonym.
  • Global Biodiversity Information Facility. See:
http://data.gbif.org/species/13744241/
The correct name is Toona ciliata Roemer. Synonyms are missing but the common name is Australian Redcedar. Also the distribution map shows that Australia is included in the distributional range. (The map does not show the total range and it includes also some areas where the species is exotic.)
  • AgroForestryTree Database by World Agroforestry Centre. See:
http://www.worldagroforestry.org/Sea/Products/AFDbases/AF/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=1649
The current name is Toona ciliata M.Roem. and there are six synonyms including Toona australis (F. Muell.) Harms. Common names are: Australian red cedar, Australian toon, Burma cedar, Burma toon, Indian cedar, Indian mahogany, Indian toon, moulmein cedar, Queensland red cedar, red cedar, toon tree, toona tree. Geographic distribution, native: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam. Australia is missing from this list but identity of the species is clear because of the synonym T. australis and the common name Australian red cedar.
  • NCBI taxonomy database. See:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=67918&lvl=3&p=mapview&p=has_linkout&p=blast_url&p=genome_blast&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock
Toona ciliata is the correct name and Toona australis is a synonym.
  • Integrated Taxonomic Information System by Smithsonian Institution. See:
http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=29029
Toona ciliata. Taxonomic Status, Current Standing: ACCEPTED
Search result for Toona australis: Taxonomic Status, Current Standing: NOT ACCEPTED - SYNONYM. Krasanen (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image sizes

Not sure why the edit -- I based the image sizes on what I had seen around wikipedia, as well as what permitted reasonable legibility. Almost every logo is reproduced between 200 and 250 pixels wide. And you change to 100px. Most screen shots are between 280 and 320 pixels wide. And you change it to 150px. Why? This isn't wapedia. I have reverted the images to the smallest reasonable sizes, to satisfy you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonwright (talk • contribs) 05:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monroe D.

You may well be right. I tend to revert most undescribed deletions, especially by anons and especially from heavily-vandalized articles. If you think the material should be deleted or trimmed due to the lack of sources then go ahead. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted. This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, although this instance has been repaired, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ys

I don't understand. What mean "folksy edits" ?

Can you explain ? Nicolas.le-guen (talk) 15:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It looks like the problem is with the license on Commons - that version uses a GFDL license with disclaimers, while the en Wikipedia version doesn't. Would you mind changing the license on the Commons version from "GFDL-en" to just "GFDL"? Kelly hi! 05:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
