Hello Allthingsnative,
You may be interested in this Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/September_2018. Some distinguished Wikipedia plant editors including Cas Liber and MargaretRDonald may be there. There are only a few names on the list at the moment but I suspect it will grow. Gderrin (talk) 23:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Allthingsnative, Thanks for your edits of plant articles including Hakea ambigua, please be careful not to remove references (unless they are incorrect of course) as you had done for this article. I'm assuming it was an error while adding your own referenced text or am I missing something? Best Regards and keep up the good work. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:34, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi @Allthingsnative:. It was good to meet you the other day at the Wikimedia event. I was looking at Homoranthus occurrence data maps (and added links to them on some of the Homoranthus pages). Would you fancy maps simply of NSW dotted with the occurrence data? Australian maps dwarf the occurrences in such a way that they seem scarcely worth making, which is why I haven't bothered (so far). MargaretRDonald (talk) 22:01, 16 September 2018 (UTC) Or of whichever state is appropriate? MargaretRDonald (talk) 22:15, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Also good to put a face to the name. I left in awe of your work and knowledge. Gderrin has been a great teacher/ mentor, with incredible patience. Being a newbie to the site its all certainly a learning curve for me. I welcome any editing of my editing! The maps would be terrific. Yes I agree maps of the relevant state would be best. I'm doing very basic input on Hakea. I have no idea if this is the right page for replying.Allthingsnative (talk) 08:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)Kristine
I have a copy of one of the young hakea books - I would however defer/check info on the west australian florabase online as well... As has been said above - great work, you are doing magnificently - and thank you!!! JarrahTree 06:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC) @JarrahTree: I don't know if I am "pinging" still in the right place. Thank you for your comments and will certainly take your advice. Still early days for me I'm counting my contributions in weeks. My "tutor" is on respite, so will continue to do basic edits until I have a few more questions answered. And extremely envious of your WA flora. Cheers, Kristine
Hi Christine. I have added occurrence maps for all Homoranthus species except for those where the herbaria specimens numbered less than 8. MargaretRDonald (talk) 21:14, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hakea sulcata, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Brown (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

On 16 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hakea pulvinifera, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the shrub Hakea pulvinifera (pictured) was first described in 1962, believed extinct in 1971, and rediscovered in 1988? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hakea pulvinifera. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 23 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Veronica perfoliata, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that digger's speedwell is so named because it was thought to indicate the presence of gold?

Hi @Allthingsnative: Good to meet you again yesterday. I essentially restored Geoff's etymology to Olearia phlogopappa, while also adding a link to Labillardiere. Curious to see whether it will be removed again.... Cheers, MargaretRDonald (talk) 01:05, 17 December 2019 (UTC) P.S. Couldn't find an email link for you??

Hello, Allthingsnative
Thank you for creating Brachyscome ascendens.
User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Rather than linking only the taxobar to the Wikidata item, it's much better to properly link the whole article to Wikidata, as I've done here. This means you don't need to put any parameters in the taxobar, and links the article immediately to any articles in other languages or often to a Wikimedia Commons category. Hope that makes sense!
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Blythwood))

for your new edits in the biota area - much appreciated
just one small quibble - the talk page had WA as location,the category mainspace had tasmania, and the text of article had vic and nsw. I have tagged as nsw and vic. I may be very wrong as to what is what, please correct me where i am wrong
have a very good new year and hopefully more new items for the biota parts of things !!JarrahTree 00:45, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
@JarrahTree: Thank you, you are totally correct. When I was doing the edit it pinged my brain but my memory later failed me. Finally learning to upload images, thankfully with much help from Gderrin, my wee brain was a touch addled. Thank you again. And a happy New Year to you and yours. Allthingsnative (talk) 07:48, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Pimelea aeruginosa, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding ((U|I dream of horses)) to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 06:44, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi @Allthingsnative: So glad to see all your exemplary articles (always well referenced and informative). However, when you are referencing the primary author (which you always do unlike so many other editors), I think you should reference it in something like the way I have done for Pimelea angustifolia, where I have referenced it as a journal article, and in a manner so that it looks almost identical to that of APNI where it appears as "Mueller, F.J.H. von (1869), Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae 7(50): 2 " - which leads to a second point: Rather than citing APC which is fairly uninformative (it neither gives the APC tick of approval nor the original article), I think it is better to use APNI which you can do relatively easily by writing ((APNI2|id=66704|name=Pimelea angustifolia)). I hope you will find these comments useful rather than offensive... MargaretRDonald (talk) 16:29, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi @Allthingsnative:. As stated as a secondary concern above, the APC references you are giving for names, fail to show that the name is the accepted name. That is they fail the very purpose of citation, where at this point you are trying to justify the name as an accepted name, not simply a name together with an author. MargaretRDonald (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
References
it would be really great if there was the possibility of a location of occurrence in one liners, otherwise they look very lonely out there, anywhere on the continent... But thanks for any new articles, much appreciated !!! JarrahTree 11:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Has got to a new stage of its progress in this confusing and chaotic world... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unknown-importance_Australian_biota_articles = 0. Please help by when creating new biota articles for australia, to make sure the unassessed page stays the way it is adequately tagged, or please ask for help in doing so... More on the next stages of the Australian biota project soon... and thanks for whatever you have done for the project in any way since 2006 - JarrahTree 05:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
Please respect this call of TelosCricket and revert your recent etymological edits. Here you have deleted the original etymology of the first describing authors. And here you have stated that -phyllus would be Greek for "leaves" that is also incorrect. Wimpus (talk) 07:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
@Allthingsnative: Collaboration is required at Wikipedia. Please stop what you are doing and respond. Significant discussions have occurred at the administrators' noticeboard (ANI September 2019 + ANI May 2020) and I am an administrator attempting to reduce disruption. I have not yet examined the issue that Wimpus has raised here but I assume the suggestion is that etymologies are being devised by an editor who is giving the meaning of various parts of a technical term, as found in what is essentially a dictionary. If that is the case, it is original research and is not permitted. Please do not make any further edits regarding etymologies until consensus has been reached. @Wimpus: Please notify me if you think an administrative response is needed. Johnuniq (talk) 23:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
The quote (in inverted commas) from Sharr/George is verbatim with precisely the same bold, the same italics and the same [Banksia] (except that I forgot to italicise the genus). There is only one species in W.A. with the specific epithet strictifolia. The calm egagement referred to has been tried by me and several other editors but Wimpus always wants the last say. The others appear to have given up trying. Gderrin (talk) 06:09, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Allthingsnative, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 09:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
