Collecting mushrooms

Hey, I was patrolling new pages and noticed your name. Seeing that you seem to be an expert in fungus and mushrooms, I have a few quick questions (hope you don't mind.) Are most fungi harmful to be inhaled? And, where do you store the collected fungus? Thanks =D. Netalarmtalk 03:52, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how one would inhale a fungus... so I'm assuming you mean fungal spores. Some susceptible individuals are known to have allergic reactions to fungus spores, but for the most part, they're pretty safe; keep in mind that we typically inhale thousands of spores with each breath. As for storage, when I plan on keeping a specimen for my personal collection, I dry the sample thoroughly, either on a rack in sunlight, or in a dessicator. I have a set of stackable plastic containers with individual compartments that I use to store them; typically I also include dessicant in the storage container to help prevent the mushroom tissue from absorbing moisture from the air. Hope this answers your questions. Sasata (talk) 03:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! Ya. I meant to say spores (it would be quite hard to inhale a mushroom even if I tried.) Happy editing & cya around Wikipedia! Netalarmtalk 04:09, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Concentrating and inhaling the spores of any fungus is probably a really bad idea. Tom Volk has a cautionary tale about this practice. Piggy@baqaqi.chi.il.us (talk) 03:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the great-looking tax box!

I have been asked to expand on the statement in the article: "The first instances of seeming neoplasms in a coral were reported in a species of Madrepora in Hawaiian waters in which hypertrophied corallites or skeletons in the coral were noted. Similarly hypertrophied corallites were described in colonies of Madrepora oculata near northwestern Australia and Japan, as well as in the Formosa Strait and other areas, but have never been confirmed. A recent provisional reinterpretation is that these abnormal corallites are a form of internal gall, rather than a neoplasm." Could you explain to me what a gall is so that I can state the situation more clearly? (Although I wrote it, I don't quite understand it.) Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 17:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

A gall is an abnormal swelling or growth caused by infection by a parasitic microorganism, whereas a neoplasm is an abnormal growth caused by mutation, which may in turn be caused exposure by mutagenic chemicals or other nasty things people dump in the ocean sometimes. Hope that helps! Sasata (talk) 17:11, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I was wondering if a gall was necessarily caused by a parasitic microorganism, so that explains it very well. Thanks, —Mattisse (Talk) 17:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

unknown Amanita

I copied a image of a unknown Amanita to the Talk:Amanita cokeri page to ask if this is the right picture, but I got no answer. You look like an expert in that field, so is it possible to tell if this is the right name for the mushroom on the image? Thanks--Stone (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Stone, I'm more "interested amateur" than expert. All I can say about the ID is "definitely maybe"; it's difficult if not impossible to accurately identify a species with just a single photograph, and often microscopy is needed to be sure. Here's some other pics of this species for comparison; also check out Rod Tulloss's page. I've been working on some species articles of Amanita section Lepidella, to which A. cokeri belongs, and A. cokeri is somewhere on my to-do list. Perhaps in a couple of weeks I'll have a less wishy-washy opinion :) Sasata (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Re:Cup question

This is potentially problematic. I don't think it would be fair for people to claim points for a FA merely for copyediting, and I think any co-noms would have to be looked at closely.

Trich split

An article 5k long hardly deserves to be split. Making people hunt down the genera with an additional click is far more effort than ignoring a section. 30k is the lower limit on size justifying a split. I think these articles should be re-merged. -Craig Pemberton 07:04, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

It won't be that long for much longer. I'm currently working on a new version that I'll swap in the current article sometime in January, that will be put up for GA shortly after. I think people will find the extra click worthwhile when List of Tricholomataceae genera becomes a featured list. Same deal with Agaricales, and List of Agaricales families :) Sasata (talk) 07:16, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Talking about that list, Pseudolasiobolus says it's in Podoscyphaceae. Circéus (talk) 04:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out.. I have fixed my original error. Sasata (talk) 04:57, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

We seem to be taking different approaches to citing the protologues. I've been taking the Index Fungorum standard botanical refs and standardizing the abbreviations to IPNI. While I appreciate your ability to track the full citation, I have to say I find a certain esthetic interest in having the source within the table itself, as is allows the sources listed to be more "global" and slightly less overwhelming (plus obscure 19th/early 20th century sources are really not that useful to 90% of users, and here they are almost encyclopedic in themselves). I'll defer to you as main author, though. Circéus (talk) 07:09, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't functionality outweigh aesthetics? For anyone wanting to use this list as a scholarly reference (which is the plan for it) full references have to be given, and for possible FLC candidacy, refs have to be in proper citation templates. See for example List of Armillaria species (admittedly not yet finished) as the model I'm following. But since you're looking, I'd appreciate any ideas for improving lists like these, as I plan to make a lot of them and it would be best to figure out a quality standard "template" for the future. Sasata (talk) 07:20, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, my concern is on several aspects. I actually do think adding the short ref in the table improve the look (though if the format did not have that column, I'd be fine with the sources downstair). Also, as I've mentioned, for the most part, the short references are sufficient and more like encyclopedic information than sources per se: Technically we don't need to refer back to the protologue of every single genus (if only because these source are useless in distinguishing those that are current and those since moved or sunk in synonymy) and we could use global references with a few specific ones (cf. as I did in List of mammals of Canada though admittedly this is not an... exact parallel). Given that, we could consider that the protologue reference is more of an encyclopedic information than a source per se, and putting it in the table is fine, plus it avoids "overloading" the references. ut that's just how I approach it, ultimately I'll defer to whatever decision you take.
A middle ground approach might be: list all with botanical short form, and give a full reference for any source that is available online (e.g. Mycologia can be linked to either in JSTOR or its own website, Baroni et al. 2007 is also online). the same would be used where books are "concealed": book series such as Bibliotheca Mycologia are cited as periodicals, we would want the full book citation, of course. Any thoughts?
Also I can't help tracking the earlier references, so ultimately, whether that work is done now or after comments at FAC, you're probably going to be the one doing more of the work >__>;; Circéus (talk) 07:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, we differ on our ideas about this. Personally, I like the look of a well-stocked list of references complete with all available DOI's, links to online PDFs, Google Books (for example, most of the early important fungal taxonomical works by Fries, Persoon is readily available online) and anything else pertinent. Yes, it will take me hours of digging, but I find this kind of work fun, and it means that some student in the future will have all the information readily available to them. Those who find a lengthy refernence list overwhelming need simply to not scroll down that far :) Having the short form of the protologue is no different than what one can find at Fungorum or other similar online taxonomical databases, so it doesn't really set Wikipedia apart in research quality. Another reason is practical; I plan to bring up all of the linked genera articles to at least start or C-class, so I'd have to find most of these references anyways when working on those. The list articles are just to serve as an taxonomic overview, a visual summary of current mycological classification with handy links to genera articles that have more detailed information. Part of this summary should include (imo) the full bibliographic details of the original paper.
Guess I will leave you to your bibliographic digging, then (though I might throw in the occasional links and dois). I'll definitely feel a certain sadness at the empty feel of the authority column :p Circéus (talk) 08:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Just saw the addition of full refs... thanks! Do you think it would look better if the "Authority" column was taken out and the names were instead placed in small font under the genus name (like the type species column is currently). That way, I could add a new column with distribution information (which is handily given in the Dictionary of the Fungi)? Sasata (talk) 00:58, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Well... Both approaches have arguments going for them: it would be kinda interesting to have the possibility of sorting by authority, though the column would not look super good. Both fits in 1024x800, though even the Armillaria list is a bit tight at 800x600... I don't mind either way, really. I'll probably add in the partial refs (for those I can't find the full details online) at some point so you don't have to juggle an extra step.

Copy edit question

Hey, I'm current doing peer review/copy edit for Supernatural (season 2). I was hoping that you could please give your opinion on the changes I made to the paragraph you cited in your FAC review. Thanks. Ωphois 20:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

It's better, but there's still room for improvement... How about I rewrite that paragraph in a way that I think would qualify as good FAC prose, leave it on the talk page, and then we can compare? Give me a couple of days, as it takes time for my brain to write well on topics not related to science :) Sasata (talk) 01:11, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks. Ωphois 12:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
And there have been a few more changes to it since then. Ωphois 13:38, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey, just checking in to see how the rewrite was going. :) Also, I've copy-edited pretty much the whole article. Hopefully it has improved a lot. Ωphois 16:34, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey. I don't know if you have the peer review on your watch page or not. If you do and just haven't had time to respond, then I apologize. Anyways, I responded to your comments, and integrated most of the rewrite into the article. Do you mind looking over the rest of the changes made to the article since the FAC? Thanks. Ωphois 10:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Valued pictures and ITN in the WikiCup

Hi. I am contacting you on behalf of the WikiCup judges because you were involved in our previous points polling. Though most of the polls are now closed, we have restarted polls relating to the points value for both valued pictures and in the news entries. You are welcome to submit your votes here; the polls will be closing in a week's time. J Milburn (talk) 19:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:

  • Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
  • Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
  • Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
  • Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
  • Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
  • Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup! On behalf of the WikiCup judges, iMatthew talk at 03:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Trich genera

I'd be honored. I have to say there's only so much I can do in taxonomic/documentation search (although my uni is specialized in Botany, the library is across town and not an attractive travel in winter, plus the focus is on higher plants: mushrooms are on permanent loan to DAOM), I'll do all I can with the formatting. Circéus (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I've started adding alt text and am rather enjoying the task of trying not to make them too repetitive. The one for Catathelasma has me somewhat stumped though, and I had to resort to a rather... unorthodox simile. Seems to me like this is an anomalous specimen and another image from those I trimmed when converting the layout could be brought back in to replace it. Circéus (talk) 17:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
LOL! Feel free to replace it with a less "provocative" version file:Catathelasma imperiale2.JPG. Sasata (talk) 18:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Problem with former FAC nominee

Hi Sasata, User:Ophois told me you requested me to help her by copyediting former FAC nominee Supernatural (season 2), I made a lot minor edits and think the article needed a minor touch up, but fits FAC criteria. I saw the archive of the nominee and I still don't understand. Could you explain the exact problems? Could you let me know if I fixed them all? Thanx! ATC . Talk 23:10, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Bog Turtles

Your impact on the learning process has been immeasurable. The group is very fortunate to receive such a tactful; yet thorough review. I sincerely appreciate the expenditure of your personal time to perform such a critique as well as your patience. The students did not expect the bar to be set so high - I for one am thrilled. I have insisted that respond to every concern; hopefully, they will not disappoint you. Cheers! --JimmyButler (talk) 18:57, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

It was my pleasure! I would have loved the chance to do an assignment like this when I was in high school. In fact, reading about the turtles during the course of this review has inspired me to work on the Wood turtle article, and I hope to bring that up to GA quality in the New Year. The group did a great job in bringing up Bog turtle to GA-standard and should be proud of their efforts and contribution to Wikipedia. Sasata (talk) 15:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Zygoballus sexpunctatus reliable sources issue

Per your advice at the peer review, I have integrated the David Hill sources into the Zygoballus sexpunctatus article.

GA review

Hi Sasata, thanks for volunteering to do the GA review for Carletonomys. I'll be off on holiday from tomorrow until January 8 and I don't know whether I'll have Internet access during that period and if so, when. Perhaps it'd be best if you just do the review and when I'm able to, I'll respond as soon as I can, and if not, I'll respond after January 8. Alternatively, I could just ping you again when I have Internet access--what you prefer.

And merry Christmas (a bit late, but Christmas is two days in the Netherlands - so it still counts). :) Ucucha 18:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I'm in no rush... and we have unexpected visitors here, so it will take me longer than I thought to do the review anyways. Happy holidays to you and we'll chat when you get back :) Sasata (talk) 19:24, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
It didn't turn out well with the Internet access, so I'm back only now, and will be looking into your comments. Happy New Year! Ucucha 21:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Sasata, hi!! How are you doing? I am ok and busy editing. Some months ago you helped out at Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak by doing a GA review. The article failed then, but it recently underwent a peer review and significant changes were made in the article, layout, format, etc. At this point I am wondering if you might consider doing an additional GA review. Thanks so much!! Basket of Puppies 23:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi BoP, normally I avoid doing a re-review of GAN, as I think it's best for the article if as many eyes as possible see it. That being said, if it's still waiting at the GAN queue in 2-3 weeks I'll consider reviewing it again. I had a quick look and really like the improvements that have been made since I last saw it (especially the long list of scholarly sources)! Sasata (talk) 15:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps update

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 00:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Bog Turtle Distribution Map

Hey, Sasata, sorry it took so long (Christmas and the like took up a lot of my time), but how does this look overall (apart from being a little bland)?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 02:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

  • I'm guessing this is a photograph or a scan of an image you drew? My guess is that you would be asked to redo this at FAC. For one thing, its hard to tell (especially for non-Americans) what part of the US this is, largely because the water isn't shaded a different color. You could try dropping a request at the graphics lab and I'm sure someone would be able to convert this into a high-quality graphic for you. Just let them know exactly what you want, tell them about the class project and your deadlines. The map wouldn't necessarily have to be made before FAC submission (although it would be nice). Good luck! Sasata (talk) 08:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I did this in about ten minutes right next to my computer, hence the weirdness of the image. I left a formal request on this page, telling them of the project and the deadline. Thank you for the link and advice, talk to you soon.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 18:11, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Someone made a second map, on this page, which one do you like better?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 15:50, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Looks great! Make sure you put a source for where you got the distribution information from in the image file at Commons (they'll probably ask you to do that anyways at FAC). How's the rest of the pre-FAC preparations coming along? Sasata (talk) 16:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I can easily provide a reference for where I got the actual areas, but should that go in the caption, or somewhere else? The rest is going okay, we have alt text that I believe goes along with its intended purpose, we are about to have a map, we are working on including more information from scholarly literature (like from this government website: ftp://ftp-fc.sc.egov.usda.gov/WHMI/WEB/pdf/TechnicalLeaflets/bog_turtle_Oct%2023.pdf), we are working on getting a copy-editor (but we're sure of how to ask a person to do it), and we have answered all the concerns of Yohmom (although the spelling out of numbers is not checked, but we asked her and she seemed to think it was corrected), at least the one's she voiced on the talk page. Other that I have one big several-part question: Should we have a section on conservation and endangernment? If we do, should threats be a subsection of it? Should it be a subsection of threats?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 20:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sasata. That information was taken from a book: "Historical Sites of Jakarta", written by Adolf Heuken SJ. I have copy pasted the references to the sentence that tells the DYK. Is it the right thing to do? --Rochelimit (talk) 16:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it looks better now... any chance you could include page #'s? How about citations for the other unreferenced paragraphs? Sasata (talk) 16:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
There are one paragraph that I cannot find the source. The information about the building condition during Japanese occupation is found from the id.wikipedia.org site and it doesn't cite any sources. Although I am pretty sure that the information is correct, as it was probably made by the officials (there is this habit of officials to link their own page to a page in id.wikipedia, as if the information is an absolute correct). I guess the article is not worthy of a nomination (kinda sad :( ...), since the sources are not complete? do you have any suggestion? (I know it is not right make an 'id.wikipedia' link) --Rochelimit (talk) 23:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

There will probably be considerable overlap with this article and evolution of fungi (an article on my "list" for improvement), so will have to think about how best to distribute info between them.
