I wasn't sure what exactly you were trying to do when you temporarily changed the link from the qg template. Just for your interest, when I add the template to an article, I always remove those links from the "see also" section that are also present in the template. So you should be able to find the articles that link to any given subject not through the template by diffing, say against . Hope this is useful. - ] <sub><span style="text-decoration:none">]</span></sub> <sup><span style="position: relative; left: -36px; margin-right: -36px; text-decoration:none;">]</span></sup> 09:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC) |

Hi Kim, source for the status of the twenty eight are local media the only major print media here is paid subscriptions so cant access there, it was a big issue here about a month ago. I'll need to track down paper source for cite as there isnt any sufficiently quoteable sources from the net. The best net referrence to the issues are from New Zealand where they cite dept Conservation and Land Management , Agriculture Protection Board and University of Western Australia. |

It is important to note that, while natural selection provides an explanation for the origin of adaptations, natural selection does not inevitably lead to adaptations, nor does it necessarily lead to an increase in the fitness of individual organisms. For example, natural selection operating at the level of genes can give rise to 'parasitic' elements in the DNA (see ].)?] 16:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC) |

Re: Lou Franklin—I'd suggest just ignoring the posts on his talk page. If we assume good faith to what is probably an unreasonable extent, it seems that we are unable to effectively explain the arguments that you (and I, and others) have placed on his page, and that further reiteration and recapitulation is likely to be unproductive. |

If we don't assume a maximum of good faith, he's just trolling to get a rise out of you (and I, and others) to amuse himself during the remainder of his block. Either way, it's not productive, and if he is trolling, then I don't like to see him get the satisfaction of a response. ](]) 01:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC) |

== Unequiocal evidence for the operation of Hamilton's Rule in humans == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Kim, |
|
|
|
|
|
I am writing a paper on the operation of Hamilton's Rule in humans, and have asked the question below on the HR discussion page. As you seem to be very knowledgeable in this field, I was wondering if you might give your view? |
|
|
|
|
|
It is unethical to manipulate genetic relatedness in humans. Furthermore, without exception, all studies of HR in humans to this date suffer one common drawback: the evidence is entirely observational, and it is therefore in no case possible to exclude categorically all confounding variables (interaction time, reciprocity etc.), so as to make an unequivocal test of the claim that human altruistic behaviour is modulated by the genetic relatedness, when other factors are held constant. |
|
|
In the light of this, what would constitue unequiocal evidence for the operation of Hamilton's Rule in humans ? ] 08:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC) |

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now ''available for download!'' Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features ]. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to ], I now have an account on <span class="plainlinks"></span> with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my ] tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to ] and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your ] for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --] (]) 02:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

==Lovebird== |

sure thing regarding tone down. regarding the following paragraph from lovebird: "Lovebirds are very active and require a safe space for flight in addition to a roomy cage. They require lots of toys and things to chew on and play with. Without daily flight, a roomy cage, many toys and things to play with, and -- most importantly -- constant social interaction (i.e., a mate), they may resort to feather-plucking, which can be hard to stop. It is also a good idea to provide a bird bath tub, as they love to take baths almost every day. After taking a shower, many times they like to sun themselves in order to dry off." |
|
|
|
|
|
There are several opinions presented as facts, particularly the need for flight. There is wide belief that pet parrots should be clipped and therefore not allowed to fly. Whether we are in agreement with this is irrelevent but my many birds are all clipped and do not fly yet I asses them as being happy and healthy. I would like to adjust the statement about daily flight being a requirement for a happy bird. This is clearly an opinion though it is stated as a fact. Also, constant social interaction with a mate is incorrect. Come to think of it I don't think the term "i.e." is even used correctly in this context... But whatever. I will await your response before editing the flying opinion here. Thanks. btw, am I using your discussion page correctly? I am unsure where I should be typing all this. {{unsigned|66.235.35.207}} |

:I moved it down to the end. If you get to a talk page, you will see a set of tabs at the top.

:The problem with many of the pet sections on the pages of many parrot species is that it is more a how to guide, and full of persoanl experience. I think the best way would actually to make a new page that deals with parrots as pets in general and have subheaders when there is specific information about a species. That would clean up the species pages from it, and the repeated information. What about the flying, opinion as far as I am concerned. I think that would be the way to describe it. ] <sup>]</sup> 06:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

Thanks for your message. I appreciate your sentiments and am grateful for your advice to Cesar. I have a lot of time for him as an editor - and as a person - in the brief time i have interacted with him. |
|
|
I'm frustrated at myself as much as him, for the way that the Arbitration is progressing. I do feel he was unfairly been dragged into something due to his unfortunate alliance with Ombudsman. Nevertheless, having interacted with him in ] and now ], i'm also concerned that is strong advocacy means he genuinely struggles to distinguish between fact and opinion on this subject. I think unless he can accept that and try and take a step back from the "us v them" viewpoint, he is going to continue to come into conflict and next time ] will not hold up. As he does not seem to accept it himself, I'm hoping that ArbCom will find a way of instilling that gently, without resorting to bans. |
|
|
|
|
|
The irony here is that i have little interest in the field of psychiatry myself, originally only coming to it on a cleanup drive, and then, having worked with him previously, i was asked back to try and reason with Cesar when he began tagging with Ombudsman. I myself tried to take a middle ground but now i find myself trading accusations at ArbCom with the person that i'd hoped to help avoid taking there! I guess i felt it is a somewhat necesary after Cesar decided against a newbie defence to run with the revisionist FDA angle. Anyway, sorry to come over here and bend your ear over this, but i feel you are doing a sterling job on councilling Cesar so i thought i would at least try and explain myself.

:I'm not too bothered about getting my knuckles rapped by ArbCom. My contribution to the article itself was only the proposition and drafting of the criticism section - so i'm hopeful that the Arbitrators are smart enough to see that - but its a new experience for me also, so perhaps i deserve a warning too. Who knows. I think some of the other editors were taking too hard a line in the other direction, as evidenced by trying to find a middle ground during the discussions, so would support an intermediate solution. I think that is the way it is going anyway. I think will refrain from communicating directly with Cesar now, as i don't think he is receptive to my comments and our discussions are becoming confrontational to noone's benefit. Good luck with your mentorship idea - and do let me know if i can help in anyway. ] ] 18:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC) |

Hrm.... The scientific names should be in italics. Otherwise it's a nice image.

I see that you are an evolutionary biologist and a self-described "academic." Could you please suggest a few general texts on evolutionary biology that might be appropriate for someone with a decent background (some grad level) in molecular bio and genetics? I am very interested in the topic but don't know how to go about evaluating the texts that are out there. I am a fairly visually oriented person and find that the quality of graphs and charts makes a real difference to my understanding of materials so if you know of a text with good visuals, I would most appreciate it. This is a LOW PRIORITY request. I just want a readable text for my own purposes and it doesn't matter if you don't get around to answering this for several months or even skip it all together! Thanks. ] 21:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC) |

:Thank you for your suggestion of the Futuyama text. I've seen this text mentioned but didn't realize that it was such a recent publication. I will check it out soon. I hope the local college bookstore has this in stock. ] 21:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC) |

Ok first realize what the defintion of a Scientific Fact is and a Scientific Theory, because that is important to understanding what Natural Selection is. Thats like saying that Gravity is a fact not a theory, which it indeed is. Natural selection is the Scientific theory that is one of the many factors that proves that Evolution is indeed a fact. And its not up for me to prove to you whether natural selection is a only a theory, its yet to be proven so therefor it cant be considered a fact. {{unsigned|Redsox19488}} |

Thats all you have to say why not substantiate why natural selection is not a theory instead of saying your wrong it seem that you know not of what your talking about it appears to me that you need to asses the ideas of which you determine that natural selection is a fact. Plus I believe that you should asses the ideals by which you edit the page because it is unfair for you to determine that it is indeed a fact due to your inept beliefs. I believe this is a biased statement in defense of your ideas. I mean not to scrutinize you I just think that you should show an unbiased view of something that I myself believe to be true. However for the sake of the causal person in such a time where comprehension of the truth is influential in the beliefs of evolution and creationism or intelligent design, I believe that your actions are unjust. {{unsigned|Redsox19488}} |

I wish to express the sincerest apology, it was not meant to connote the idea of evolution as a theory as it indeed is a fact, however Natural Selection is a scientific theory and should be treated as that, and I would appreciate if you would do so{{unsigned|Redsox19488}} |

<div style="background: #CCFFDD; border: 2px solid lime; line-height: 1.25x;">]'''Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4).''' Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - '''<font color="#003399">]</font>'' '''<sup><font color="#009933">]</font></sup>''</div> |

I've restored the TFD notice to this template, as the tfd debate on ] is not closed. Did I miss something here? — ] <sup>]</sup> 03:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC) |

:Thanks for the reply, I just updated it to a direct link to the current tfd page as tfd has gotten huge lately. The original nominator did not put the tfd template anywhere useful, that's why the date is off. — ] <sup>]</sup> 03:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC) |
