Hi Snek. I haven't yet put any of my own articles through GA. I'm going to have a go with some of them shortly, but until I've done that I don't feel I should do GA reviews. However, I will copyedit Chittenango ovate amber snail and help out in other ways. --Epipelagic (talk) 20:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

: Okay, I've started copyediting. However, I need to check with you. I am radically altering the formats you use when referencing research. Are you okay with this? If not, just revert my edits and I'll back out. --Epipelagic (talk) 10:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

::Sure. Since you are clear your text reads more cleanly, just revert back to it. I'm not ready to do reviews yet, as I explained above. --Epipelagic (talk) 22:37, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Epipelagic, some of the changes you made were quite interesting. Meeting other points of view is always helpful. In any case, the article got promoted =). Thank you too, Michal! --Daniel Cavallari (talk) 22:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Snek, I have noticed you making Mollusc articles for some time and I thought you might be interested in this CC-3.0 article. All text and pics are free to use, see: http://www.pensoft.net/journals/zookeys/issue/101/ Cheers! Ruigeroeland (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Michal,

I wanted to say,

1. That the word "Distribution" is a singular noun and therefore it should be used with "includes" not include.

2. That rather than saying say "a species of a land snail" it is better to say simply "a species of land snail".

Thanks so much for all your new articles. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 22:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Michal,

I think we will need to get another round of bot approvals before we create this genus. Turbonilla is a large genus; it will be nice if we could get the species articles created as well. Although Facebook and e-mail allow us to connect easily, it will be best to keep Wikipedia-related discussions on Wikipedia itself. I hope you understand.

Greetings! I see you have recently created one or more new stub templates or categories. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This helps to reach consensus about whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries, where comments are welcome as to any rationale for this stub type. Please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. Grutness...wha? 08:32, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

i'm sorry, but you're going about this the wrong way. Wikimedia UK has negotiated a collaboration with a global partner organisation, and its result is the sharing of some text with Wikipedia. If you want to ask questions about the project, it's a simple matter to contact the people involved, either in Wikimedia or ARKive. Disrupting the project and threatening its lead with a block is inappropriate . I'm sure you appreciate the importance to Wikipedia of building relationships with scholarly and educational bodies to share openly-licensed text. It's important that we do not undermine these projects. Please restore the disputed text and discuss with the project participants before taking further action.

:Hello Martin, thank you for your message. I have answered by email. I am looking for further details on associated talkpage(s). --Snek01 (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings! A stub template or category which you created has been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals!

Hello Snek, I don't know if you saw this yet, but Peter Poyt made a beautiful new image of an Australian land snail and created this stub. I don't know if you can find any info to add to it? Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 21:37, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

:Thank you. That is fascinating! Expanded. I will add drawing of the shell tomorrow. --Snek01 (talk) 23:19, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Snek,

Thank you for the award. I'm honoured. As soon as I saw this wonderful little snail I thought you would like it. This snail was in eucalyptus forest, not in rainforest where I usually find snails. Poyt448 (talk) 22:33, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Michal, I just wanted to say that most (with maybe 2 exceptions) of the A-class articles need to have a better lede or intro section: it is necessary for the lede to summarize the content of the article. If those articles lacking this were submitted for GA review, that would be one of the first things a reviewer would comment on. (I have tried before to work out how to give the B&R article a lede and failed, but maybe I can try again.) Invertzoo (talk) 14:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

This morning I have written a summary-style lede to the B&R article so that it would have that necessary item when the article is submitted for GA. You can take a look at that lede and see what you think, maybe you can improve it. Invertzoo (talk) 16:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Today I quickly expanded the ledes in the other A articles that did not include a summary of the info included in the article. The ledes need more fine-tuning but they are better than no summary at all. Invertzoo (talk) 23:21, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

If (as you mentioned) you want to get our current eight so-called A-class articles promoted to GA, I would recommend that we focus on each one in turn and ask a few members to help fix them up before they are submitted for GA review. I notice that some of the species articles have numerous strikes against them as far as even A class goes. Prior to my recent work they lacked a proper lede, they also have some prose difficulties, and in several cases, only one reference. If we do try to nominate one of these eight, I would also recommend that you yourself are not the nominator, and that while the review is in process you make a great effort to restrain yourself and not fight against suggestions that are made by the reviewer. A combative approach almost always guarantees failure.

I also would like to remind you once again that A-class can not be awarded by the same person who puts the article together. The article must be reviewed by an impartial reviewer either from the WikiProject or from elsewhere. This means that most of the eight cannot legitimately claim to be A-class articles. And do they even meet the criteria?

The criteria are as follows (my emphasis):

The article provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia: How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate.

Thank you for all your hard work and your good intentions, Invertzoo (talk) 17:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello again Michal, I thought you might like to see this new article which User:IceCreamAntisocial put together about a rare freshwater limpet species from the USA. I see we do not have a genus articles for either Lanx or Fisherola. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 23:14, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Snek,

How are you? My name is Matthew Roth and I'm a Storyteller working on the 2011 fundraiser with the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. In past years, we've relied on Jimbo to carry the bulk of the fundraising weight and he's done very well helping us hit our yearly funding targets. This year, however, we're broadening the scope and reach of the fundraiser by incorporating more voices and different people on the funding banners and appeals that will start running full-time on November 7th. We're testing new messages and finding some really great results with editors and staff members of the Foundation. You can see the current progress of the tests [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011 here]. I'm curious if you would want to participate in an interview with me as part of this process? The interviews usually last 60 minutes and involve a number of questions about your personal editing experiences, as well as general questions about Wikipedia and its impact in the world. Please let me know by emailing mroth (at) wikimedia.org. Seascapeza recommended I contact you. Thanks! Matthew (WMF) 19:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Snek01!! I have been working up a genus article for Africonus as a test page to get a general consensus among the senior editors of Wikiproject Gastropods and I thought I'd ask your opinion as well. I hope to get an approved format then put together genus articles for all genera of Conidae as set forth in the classification proposed by Tucker & Tenorio, and set forth as "alternative representations" in WoRMS by Dr. Bouchet. Please either refer to the Wikiproject Gastropods page or my User Talk page for comments. Thanks in advance for your mentoring and for your assistance.Shellnut (talk) 23:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This may seem like it's out of left field, but I was wondering if you could offer some assistance. I'm in the process of disambiguating links to Cox and have found a not small number of them in the infoboxes of various animal articles. I happened to look up who added that link in the case of Placostylus cuniculinsulae and it turned out to be you. So, I was hoping that you would know who that link should actually be referring to and either fix it or, if there's no appropriate article, just remove the link. Also, if you perhaps had the time and wanted to be extra helpful, you could maybe take a gander at this list of other pages that link to "Cox" and assist in disambiguating those as well. In just a short time that list will most likely only contain zoological articles, as I'll have disambiguated the rest. Any help at all would be very much appreciated. -- Fyrefly (talk) 21:10, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

About three years ago, you created about fifty articles about Japanese films from the 1950s. Things like Inazuma Kaidō. I am kind of wondering why you made so many articles, which have all just been abandoned since then. Was this meant to go somewhere? JoshuSasori (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

:Hello Joshu Sasori, thank you for your message. I was creating 1950s and previous films only. I had no intentions to create newer ones.

::I'm not sure why Wikipedia needs so very many articles on those 1950s Japanese films. It seems lot of them are not available on VHS or DVD and don't have articles on Japanese Wikipedia, and nobody except robots has edited them for three years.

::Yes, there is such possibility. I think they are notable enough, but I am usually not able to expand them or to prove its notability. As far as I know some of them (few, about 3-5?) were proposed for deletion, but were kept:

:OK, I have decided not to send them for deletion because it's not a productive use of time.

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause and get involved with the open-source movement.

According to the edit history of the page, it looks like you were collaborating with user:Invertzoo and user:Epipelagic to write the article for 'Love Dart'. This is such a curious article!

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Ideally, I'd like to have a story that we could publish along with the other two users by Valentines Day this year.

Please let me know if you're inclined to be interviewed about your collaboration on this article.

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

A new editor reverted your recent changes to the Elimia article. As a result we now still have a Elimia article, as well as having those species listed under Pleurocera. The new editor disagrees with the reassignment of Elimia species to Pleurocera by Dillon (2011) and mentions a new article that was still "in press" when he left the note. The new editor made the mistake of leaving his note on his own talk page, instead of on the talk page of the appropriate article. I copied and placed it there so people can see it. In any case... we can't use as a reference a science paper that is not yet published, even though it is in press. I wonder if perhaps the new editor, User:Polarfire1, is one of the authors of the new paper? Invertzoo (talk) 12:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

The article List of non-marine molluscs of Honduras has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

:There's been no content (i.e. non-category or editing-specific template) edits in 3 years and there are only two list items and a number of empty headers on this page. Even for list articles a minimum amount of content and/or activity is reasonable and this is an almost empty list. This list is dead, it has ceased to be, it is an ex-article, it's pining for the fjords.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Snek, and thanks for all your helpful recent contributions. I understand why you like to reference every sentence individually within an article.

Hello Michal, I wanted to ask you about O. draparnaudi. In the British Isles the ones I found were always quite large, and all of them had very striking cobalt-blue bodies, a strong dark blue with a little grey or black around the sides. I also found [http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/867062 one like that but smaller] in the New York Botanical Garden during a BioBlitz this Sunday.

However a friend in Florida considers [http://www.jaxshells.org/draya.htm this snail from San Diego] to be that species. But it has no blue color, and the shell shape does not look right to me; it looks more like perhaps O. cellarius.

My friend also thinks [http://www.jaxshells.org/pbst.htm these snails from Oregon] are O. draparnaudi.

The shell shape on these looks perhaps OK (although very flat in the spire), but again there is no blue coloration, which I always thought was diagnostic for that species. I understand there are around 100 species of Oxychilus. Do you think these ones that have no blue coloration are O. draparnaudi, or perhaps they may be another species?

Are the soft parts of O. draparnaudi always dark blue in your part of the world? Invertzoo (talk) 00:09, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

:Hello, Ox. draparnaudi has a darker shell and body and wider last whorl. Ox. cellarius has a lighter shell and body. This also comply with Horsák et al., 2013.Horsák M., Juřičková L. & Picka J. 2013: Měkkýši České a Slovenské republiky. Molluscs of the Czech and Slovak Republics. – Kabourek, Zlín, 264 pp. (in Czech and English).

{{reflist}}

:I would say that Ox. draparnaudi is dark blue or somehow dark. Ox. cellarius is bluish grey. According to my opinion all previous photos are dark enough to be Ox. draparnaudi. For example my Ox. draparnaudi http://gastropods.wordpress.com/tag/oxychilusdraparnaudi/ are not very blue but they are dark. How much dark they appear on the photo maybe also depends how the photo is taken. It may appear medium dark on one photo and the same specimen may appear very dark on the another photo. --Snek01 (talk) 16:22, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Theodoxus fluviatilis you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 20px This process may take up to 7 days.

As you have already seen, I am trying to help with getting this article past the GA review process. As I mentioned on the GA review page, I could go ahead and make a separate list article for the distribution section and then try to summarize it in the main article, as suggested by the reviewer. But I will not do that if you are going to fight his suggestions. Let me know. Invertzoo (talk) 14:21, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Michal, I just made a proposal in Wikimedia at the new Community Wishlist Survey for a much needed bot : Create a bot to show changes in articles for each WikiProject. ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey#Create_a_bot_to_show_changes_in_articles_for_each_WikiProject.]). This requires endorsement for at least one other member. We used to have such a bot created by the German wikipedia, but since the changes last year, this bot no longer operates, making it impossible to watch all the changes made to the articles in our WikiProject. I suppose I can rely on your cooperation. JoJan (talk) 15:04, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Greetings Snek I have amended the page Carychium minimum noting that in addition to the short and very partial

list of countries Carychium minimum occurs through Eurosiberia and (not noted) according to Fauna Europaea all Europe

This renders the short list redundant but I did not delete it (the refs are useful). Have you any comments or suggestions

Best regards Notafly (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

:Hello Notafly, thank you for your message. The Distribution section is one of very important sections in gastropods. Each gastropod article usually starts with a Distribution section (and with some short Description and with few Ecology notes). As we can see in Featured articles and in Good articles, all countries, where the species occur must be explicitly included. See for example Laevistrombus canarium#Distribution (featured article), Lobatus gigas#Distribution, Theodoxus fluviatilis#Distribution (good articles) and others. Practically the Distribution section usually start as a list of countries and then it is transferring to the prose step-by-step slowly. But always there are all countries included (when the article reach good article status). I would certainly recommend to keep all countries in the article, even if it stub. Moreover I think, that ordinary readers are looking for information, if the certain species live in the certain country or not. Some species have even more detailed description about its distribution, see for example Kerry slug#Distribution. List of countries is just a necessary start. It is useful to use IUCN red list as a reference for species, that are included at http://www.iucnredlist.org/search Your addition to the article is useful. That sentence about general distribution of the species should be also referenced. I can recommend few resources for such informations, if you like. I briefly answered your question, but feel free to ask me if you have any other questions. (I can also recommend WikiProject Gastropods Talk Page.) Cheers, --Snek01 (talk) 21:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Michal Thankyou for a complete and clear answer.For the moment I am only adding to mollusc pages where the species occurs in Ireland (I mostly work on Insecta) so adding the countries is not a big task so long as I can use Fauna Europaea as the reference. I will fix Carychium minimum first and then let you know.The mollusca pages you list

as examples are excellent - and always great work from you and Invertzoo.Many thanks again and best regards Robert aka Notafly (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Carychium minimumother countries added.

• I organized it according to subregions. I think, that is the only way how to organize so many countries (see also my working list User:Snek01/Lists). Notice also wikilinks to Lists (List of non-marine molluscs of ...). Those lists may provide additional valuable informations. I have no objections against the very simple bulleted list of countries or listing of countries in a row. But I know, that some purist wikipedians sometimes delete/deleted such informations. There are also exceptions such as Deroceras invadens#Distribution, that broke traditional view (I would keep this practical bulleted list as it is (forever)).
• I changed the distribution to "Euro-Asiatic" per the reference. It is intentionally differentiated from the "Palearctic" in the book. - It is usually good to use [http://archive.org/stream/MolluscaSlovenska#page/n235/mode/2up Mollusca Slovenska] (in Slovak language) for such information, but in this species its distribution area was updated from from "Euro-Siberian" to "Euro-Asiatic".

--Snek01 (talk) 22:06, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Marvellous work.I will follow suit. Thankyou for the references. Palearctic is a problem in the East.A page on "Euro-Asiatic" and "Euro-Siberian" and the distinctions would be useful. I will seek some advice. Notafly (talk) 18:40, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello Snek01. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria.

• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator.

Approximately for example like on this photo http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/image/ecology/pag1043l.jpg - The maximum size 12 mm in its native range seems correct for me (although I did not verify it in an original scientific article now). --Snek01 (talk) 23:31, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

:: Yes, it would need several layers to accommodate 800,000 in a 1m X 1m x 1m box. The ref you gave says average length is usually 4-6 mm long in introduced locations but may reach 12 mm in its native range. Those in the image you linked to must be juveniles.

Hi

Thanks for the mail. You seem to be doing pretty well to me. If you have any particular problem send me a link and I will be happy to take a look.Charles (talk) 23:00, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

::Hello {{ping|Charlesdrakew}} I think, that this my request at Template_talk:Taxobox#Subterclass_adding_request was not going very good. I was sure, that they will fulfill my request since November 21. I am hoping that there will be not necessary my input anymore. But if so, I will appreciate your assistance. Let me to know if you will need to clarify my views. Thank you, --Snek01 (talk) 23:19, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Having some discussions around Category:Taxa by if you'd like to participate...…Pvmoutside (talk) 23:15, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello {{ping|Pvmoutside}}, thanks for your message. I shared my opinion briefly. There are some stubborn users in the mentioned Wikiproject, so good luck. --Snek01 (talk) 11:14, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

:thanks for commenting....i'm not sure if you'd like to comment again, but the discussion surrounds tax author categories, not described in years, although the latter is being brought into the discussion. Given your interest, I'm not sure if common name articles apply to you since they are usually found in the higher taxa. I know what you mean about stubborn users. Hopefully we can work it out...…Pvmoutside (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
