Hey Cas,
That is a Motorbike Frog (Litoria moorei), closely related to the recently featured Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea), the Southern Bell Frog (Litoria raniformis), and many other frogs we don't have photos of. Because this frog is so common in Perth, I have been able to find lots on Flickr which we could use. Thanks, and I'm glad your looking :). --liquidGhoul 13:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Merry Christmas. You voted for kangaroo as Australian collaboration. It has been selected, so please help to improve it towards featured article status. Thankyou. Scott Davis Talk 14:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi - I think I have been autoblocked as I can't see any warnings on my userpage or contribs. I use a work computer sometimes (like now) and suspect this may be a computer someone has else has used. cheers. Cas Liber 23:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry it took so long to reply. As you probably know with the Banksia article, it takes a lot to get a broad subject featured. And it usually only works if there are a few really dedicated contributors. I had that with frog (3-5 of us), and you have it with the Banksia wikiproject. If we can get enough people to work on the Kangaroo article, then I think we can get it featured, but it will take longer than a fortnight. I'm willing to help, I have a few books, but we need to rally up some help. Any idea who will help? If you want me to copyedit any of those articles you posted on my talk page, I'll be happy to. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 05:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Cas - Thanks for the BarnStar by the way - the mycomorphbox has been a bit of a trial by fire, and it's nice to have the encouragement! Could you do me the favor of listing the "list of species in genus X" pages you've started? I'll make it a point of expanding them from my Mushroom Demystified book as I did for cortinarius.

Hi Cas,
As a member of WP:Dinosaurs, could you please take a look at Unicerosaurus AFD? Firsfron of Ronchester 10:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Casliber, I was bringing attention to WA amphibians when I saw your request for id of a frog at liquidghoul's page. Anything you can do to contribute to Category:Amphibians of Western Australia would be appreciated by many readers, and me. I have been enjoying the pages on banksias. Regards, Fred 13:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't expect you would pop over to take some pix. My invite was to an experienced editor with contibutions of substance and an interest in australian biota. Just what we need at WP:WA (please consider joining in there too). Any comment or contributions from you would be valuable, especially with some distance from the subject. Regards, Fred 12:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Cas, Any ideas re: this question about this image? Hesperian 10:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Of course it's all fine. However, if the Dinosaur collaboration has hit hard times of late, no doubt a less popular species, the fungus, will have less voters. But I assume you considered that. In any case, your message sounded like an offer for a collaborative effort to get a fungus to the main page? I would gladly accept such an offer if you really think we couild get one to FA status? As you know, although I'm better at writing dino articles, I have no problem deviating to others in the name of a better edit count. So if you are in fact suggesting we team up & write a FA, I'll gladly accept. Any idea of which to write up? I'm betting something like the toad stool or truffle will be by far the easiest. So post me when you want to begin, or if you just wanted my help with your collaboration. I would enjoy working with you though... :) Spawn Man 04:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Cas,
Is it within your power to fix http://farrer.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/banksSG/banksiasg-4-3.pdf? Page four won't render or print for me. A problem with the image at the top of the page I think.

Hi. Could you deal with the merger issue for Chroogomphus rutilus one way or another and perhaps expand this article just a little? Drop me a line as soon as you do and I will place it on the main page DYK. Thanks. House of Scandal 10:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I expanded Chroogomphus in a major way. I'd say it's more than ready for DYK now. House of Scandal 16:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I seem to be bugging you about Banksia a lot lately. There's a degree of contradiction in the various stories about who first discovered B. rosserae. In the Acknowledgements section of Olde and Marriott, they mention "Ann Pilkington who discovered Banksia rosserae and who drew it to our attention through various third parties."[1] But in the Banksia Study Group Newsletter, Kevin Collins tell a completely different story, about how it was first discovered by John Cullen in September 2000.[2] Do you know anything about this. Is there an actual dispute over who discovered it, or is there some way to reconcile the two stories? Hesperian 03:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Casliber- Hey, you wouldn't have rated that L. aurantiacum article as low importance if you'd had the steak I put my first ones on! But seriously, those templates are a good addition. What is it in the template that puts a hyphen between "low" and "importance" in the following line?: "This article is on a subject of low-importance within mycology." I found the page but couldn't see anything. -Eric (talk) 20:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
When you add these to talk pages, could you be sure to check the "minor edit" box? You should probably do so when you add a grade to the box, too.
Basically, those additions are coming up all over my watchlist – if they're tagged as minor edits, I can easily filter them out, which makes it easier to keep an eye on substantial changes or discussions I do want to keep an eye on.

Hi, as a birdlover I hate to think of any bird as of low importance :), but wondered how you go interpreting the scale. If all individual species are of at least mid-importance or higher, have you ranked any bird articles as of low importance? I guess the way I have seen it done on Wikiproject fungi and Banksia is that low importance=specialised area (I rated alot of aussie birds like that) so that there ends up being a spread of articles. cheers Cas Liber 12:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering whether you could ID these fungi I took photos of at Barrington Tops last year.

Well, you just created this article, and the fact it was off the top of your head would explain the lack of sources, but it would be nice if you would provide some. Also, the article does not completely assert the notability of the band- if you could cite two independent, non trivial sources, or cite a source showing how high some of their hits came on the charts (If it was high enough to be considered notable) then the article would be out of notability trouble. J Milburn 10:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Casliber - I've done a bit of work on the above article since you commented - and was wondering if there was anything more you wanted to comment on. Any help would be great. Thanks. JROBBO 01:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
...I'm trying to figure out consensus - it doesn't really spell out the proportions of votes which will render and article successful (2/3rds? absolute? 100%?). Looks OK as there really isn't anything we can do except possibly open a can of worms with a section on posture of shoulder joints....
PS: Jinx hahaha - my kids play that at school now.....Cas Liber 21:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Although I may be mistaken, I find your way of dealing with my FAC remarks is a bit less than what I'd expect from you. On most of the FAC discussions where I have placed things to act on, you have either defended the article or done nothing. If the vote was more opposes than supports, I believe this wouldn't be so, but because the FAC's have a larger portion of support, you never seem to act on my requests. This is not what I think of when I picture a diplomatic editor. I fear now that my comments will go unheard & some of the sentences I pointed out at Triceratop's FAC will go un noticed now that it has been passed. I always tried to fix every opposition. Anyway, don't take this the wrong way. Spawn Man 21:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I think this could suit everyone & doesn't sound as generalistic. It also sounds more like what an encyclopedia would say... Thoughts? Spawn Man 22:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Casliber; I'd certainly be interested in it, but not for a couple of weeks. I promised I'd see about expanding the Miscellaneous section, and I'm in Iguanodon mode right now. Once that's filled in, I'll give Thescelosaurus another look. J. Spencer 15:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I know this is probably going to do squat for my reputation now (Not that I ever really had one), but I thought I'd leave a note of apology to everyone involved in my recent actions. An explaination is in order too. First off, I had a bad real life situation, that I really don't want to talk about, on the day this all started. I shouldn't have edited on Wikipedia afterwards, but I did. When I saw the situation with Riana's RfA, it kind of set off a build up of unvented anger at my situation & it was un needed. My whole tyraid had very little to do with the RfA, but I guess I took it out on that angle anyway. The way I was handled could have been better, but I wont go there in threat of making this sound like a back handed apology. My apologies go to Riana, who was also having a real life crisis at the time too. Basically the whole thing was a misunderstanding & venting process which I involved you all in. In regard to the whole sock puppetry thing, I had told my brother about my problems in due trust & he went & did something stupid on here. I don't really know what else to say but sorry. If that & a little bit of hard work repairing relationships on here doesn't change your current view point of me, then I don't think anything will. So again, sorry if I've inconvenienced you guys in any way & I hope that over time you'll think better of me. I'd love if you guys could forgive & hopefully forget & I wasn't really in control of myself these past few days. Hopefully things can get back to normal. :) Spawn Man 06:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC) P.S. I'm kind of embarassed that you saw me like that. Sorry Cas that I've let you down...
Although it is short, undercited & very bullet pointish (too many short stop start sentences), the Tuber (genus) article you gave me a link to needs the lest work done in other areas & I think it would be wise to work on that one. The other link, toadstool, is too far gone for an FA attempt right now. It needs a lot of work... Spawn Man 00:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey I've noticed you're a regular on rugby league articles, particulary NRL ones. I need your advice on something I'm thinking of starting up on the project. Many WikiProjects have Article Improvement Drives which have different levels of success. I'm thinking of starting one up for this one too, but instead of voting on an article I would rather strive to improve one NRL club every fortnight and bring it up very close to featured status. Now it seems as though there'd be a lot of work involved, but there are also a lot of club fans out there who'd probably be willing to participate. Basically there are 30 weeks in the NRL season and there are 15 club pages that are not yet featured. I propose that we all have a schedule to work on one new article every second round, in alphabetical order. By the end of the season hopefully we will have 15 near-complete, if not complete articles. My only concern at this stage is the dedication of editors to help out other team pages that they are not interested in. Basically in order to get the support of editors like these, we need a few leaders in the project. If you are willing to dedicate a bit of your time every week into this and if you have any further suggestions, could you let me know at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby league/Article improvement drive? Thanks, --15:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Cas;
I was thinking that it would be fitting for the Iguanodon article to use British spellings, and Firs suggested you as someone who could do this. Would you be interested? J. Spencer 03:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd very much like to nominate Archaeopteryx for FAC. However, I know it is nowhere near the standard needed. I've done some reworking & thoguht that nothing would be better than a 3 person collaboration. The article is truly a mess. It is very important to all aspects of paleontolgy etc, & deserves a better article. Iguanodon is going superbly with little to none on the task list for it, so I see no reason why you'd not be able to lend a hand. I was hoping for myself, Firsfron & you to be able to work on it at least to sorta suitable standard. I've made a start, but am nowhere near as capable as you guys. If the day ever did come to nominate, I'd love to do that as well & I will help out heaps to earn that right. I just don't think I have the right knowledge to do a techinical rewrite of the subject like you two do. Any help or responses will be much appreciated. :) Spawn Man 03:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
