I could help edit any herbs on a semi regular basis, but am unsure of how to get onboard with this....

[edit] Any thoughts?

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/MPF seems dead in the water, but with the RFC open, I'm hesitant to fix the problems (such as in Acer negundo). I'm also just tired of fixing the same problems over and over, year after year, if you know what I mean (I'm not as active on Wikipedia as I once was, mostly because I got tired of agruing with him). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

It's good to hear from you. Yeah, the RfC/U process is under some debate right now what to do with it as many people have said it seems "broken". We've had no outside participation (who can blame them - I wouldn't want to wade through mounds of discussions I wasn't involved in) and MPF has chosen not to reply yet, though he hasn't edited elsewhere on Wikipedia since. I'm going to assume something else might have happened to pull him away from Wikipedia, but it might appear to someone that any time he is confronted with this discussion, he stops editing. The RfC was moved from pending to open discussions, though, so someone took notice. Personally, I'd say we have clear evidence that supports fixing such issues (consensus is against MPF), so I would see no problem in altering the wording that MPF prefers. I'm not that great at detecting his POV, so I'd say do what you can if you're inclined to do so. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 14:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ClubWhore

Yes, I noticed that the contribs were positive. I allowed account creation, so another account can be created. bibliomaniac15 23:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Maybe you can help me. Long story really, basically I made a few test edits and User:Barneca deemed them vandalism and gave me warnings. I then went to ask him/her directly why exactly I had been given warnings. I said nothing offensive, though I did question his heavy handedness with the warning botton and suggested that a more reasonable admin might have greated a newbie in a somewhat nicer way. I was stunned when my comments resulted in a 24hr block. Now the block is over I have been trying to talk to User:Barneca about the way he deals with people in general on here, and more specificly his ostensible heavy handedness with new editors when he adjudges them to have commited a minor act of vandalism. Unforunately User:Barneca refuses to talk about this with me. I get the impression that he is an admin whose power has gone slightly to his head and it makes me concerned that he/she may scare away new editors, albeit perhaps unitentionally. As such I was wondering what you might suggest I do about this. I just wish User:Barneca would give people the benefit of the doubt more often and be a bit more pleasant in his dealings with non-admins. 79.69.199.112 (talk) 22:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arboretum Infobox

Hi, I saw that you responded to a talk page question on WP:H&G regarding the creation of an infobox for arboretums, botanical gardens, etc. I was wondering whether anything had come of this in the year or so since the question was raised, as I recently started wondering if such an infobox existed myself. I'd be happy to begin construction on one, though I've never done one before. Regards, NcSchu(Talk) 15:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
