It is rude to decide which you personally consider worthy of inclusion on the Black Swan page — and which you obviously do not personally consider worthy of inclusion. Please consider the feelings of other people before you decide to delete their work. Figaro 13:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rkitko–thanks for this, but it is not quite there. I could not access the database of choice when I made it last night, I will try again and justify the start class. Cheers, Cygnis insignis 18:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! No need to thank me for removing the stub tag. It's an excellent article and certainly exceeds WP:STUB. Also, per the WP:PLANTS assessment scale, the article you created is way beyond a stub and certainly a start-class and heading for B-class. Have you thought about nominating it for DYK? Great work, keep it up! --Rkitko ^(talk) 19:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Galleries arent like in higher assessment with all those images on commons it better to either use them specifically in the article, I did use one to replace the info box image IMHO its a better photo. Gnangarra 06:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

appropriate - Hakea with synchronicity - good one! SatuSuro 08:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed a thorny one (rosae is a rosae is a rosae?), brings back memories of the full variation of possible combinations to 6 letter pass words that hackers must embrace/take to heart to unlock the secrets to the universe (or minor components thereof). My guarded suggestion would be to find a similarly named individual (perhaps a variaion with a von or der with or without) and create a dismabig page and provide a range of variants on the disambig page (and redirects to it) rather than the art itself. There may be a policy against such action (gesund catch 22 heit) but it may be the least trauma producing solution to the equivalent to an escher drawing next to a mirror inside a tent with black cloth walls and some smelly smoke seeping up above the scorched lawn, if you follow SatuSuro 10:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is apolicy somewhere - a bit like aorta - but I dont think it bleeds SatuSuro 10:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! So you think you can hide. So where is the old girl? —Moondyne 14:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's a shame. I'd been looking forward to her debut and have made another inbound link. —Moondyne 23:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She floats! —Moondyne 01:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Swan River (Western Australia)#History —Moondyne 01:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a fair use case for that image (bunions and all) could be made. I can scan it up tonight. —Moondyne 01:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a half finished sentence "Advancing the rights of indigenous peoples in Australia, particularly mothers, before the law were ." Not sure where you were going with that so wasn't game to try to fix it. —Moondyne 01:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you'd be interested to know: the very first attempt at writing a flora for the Swan River Colony was a delightful little Latin number entitled Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiæ ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel. You may find an interesting mention of it here. Hesperian 11:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The tag I added to that article was meant for nothing more then to let other uses know that it needs some cleanup or wikification done to it. Yes, I know it's a new article (I watch new articles and tag them as so). Please do not take it in any way personal towards you or the article. Once some wikification is done by either you or another user, the tag can be removed. Also, please do not 'demand' things by other users. You could have asked nicely. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 22:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone's in a bad mood today. FYI, I included the tag because the image was placed in the middle (not a standard wikipedia technique), and there was a references section without any references. It wasn't meant to cause any harsh comments to be made to anyone. Feel free to remove it. And for future notice, please do not mark my talk discussion as Done. That is something that I do to keep track of when I no longer have to deal with a situation. Have a good day. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 22:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're doing the same to me, so it's basically a 'last man standing' type of thing. I am being productive, watching new pages. This could have ended a long time ago if you simply let me know that you are working on the article, in a nice manner of course. But no. Anyways, have fun with your article. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 22:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, don't tell me what to do. You really think by now that I'm the submissive type that's just going to take that shit? If you stop, then I'll stop. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 22:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
