Geography headers[edit]

Hi Wood Geek! I noticed that you changed about 100 headers in US geography articles from "Geography" to "Geography and native vegetation". Unfortunately, that's a standard header used throughout thousands of Wikipedia articles that is intended to cover topography, soils, vegetation, weather, etc. So how about if you change the headers in these articles back to the standard? Thanks. 70.134.229.138 (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources[edit]

I saw you messed-up the Frim-Fram Sauce article, both by adding extraneous text (notice the Italic text you added at the top of the article) and by not referencing content correctly. If you want some help, just ask. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:55, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oak Wilt Collaboration?[edit]

Are you still active on Wikipedia? Yes I am, and will be adding the information You are looking for, today. Steve Nelson 5-16-19

I have no expertise in Oak Wilt, but have a real-life situation that has generated a lot of questions, some of which are not answered by the Wikipedia Article on Oak Wilt. Rather than reinvent the wheel, my first thought is to find a more-experienced Wikipedia Editor with some knowledge of Oak Wilt. In particular, I wonder if the Article would be improved, if a special section on Live Oaks were to be created. I have the general impression that they are different than either red or white oak, but do not know to what extent. My questions center specifically on Live Oaks, as that is what my IRL situation concerns. Also, there's a lot of mention of "fungal bed" throughout the Article, and I think it would be good to go into describing what they are, and possibly what they look like, and maybe an image. Finally there's this term regarding how an infected oak's leaves are "chorlo-something-inated", and I thought an explanation of that, and possibly an image, might improve the Article. These are my initial questions, and I'll probably have more as I educate myself through various sources. Are you interested in working on this Article again?Tym Whittier (talk) 22:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll monitor the Article and message you as the need arises.Tym Whittier (talk) 20:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
