Animal anatomy portal
Hi. I just noticed that on Fish reproduction you added the box for the WP Animal Anatomy project. The button for the Animal Anatomy Portal in that box shows up as a red link. Not sure how to change this myself so I thought I would let you know. By the way, nice editing on Fish reproduction.__DrChrissy (talk) 11:34, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- The portal is red linked because it hasn't been written yet. I don't think there's any great hurry, but at some stage one of us could start it. That's good stuff yourself, and on Pregnancy (fish). --Epipelagic (talk) 15:19, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
Edits to the Sexual Dimorphism article
Incase you missed the edit you just reverted I was attempting to replace a known dead link with an active version of the paper. while my initial attempts to edit in failed the final attempt was completed.
I have gone ahead and completely replaced the dead link now.
So unless you have a personal bias for not allowing said paper to be accessible and present I suggest we conclude this matter now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwavenhobble (talk • contribs) 23:29, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- That's fine :) --Epipelagic (talk) 01:38, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Identification of aging in fish, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Opercula. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: "Fallujah during the Iraq War" article.
I'm not entirely sure how to do references within an article (that article used a means very different than I do, anyway), but I provided a reputable source for the rock-throwing in my comment. I actually took that source directly from the main "Fallujah" page, which states such. - unsigned comment by Dupreem (talk · contribs)
- I didn't notice the link you provided in your edit summary until after I reverted. There is a better reference to Human Rights Watch at the end of the following sentence. You can look at the source code there to see how it was done. However, it remains that the rock throwing was a separate incident which occurred in an earlier demonstration, and not during the demonstration that was fired upon.

Geronimo, you kindly wrote "Thank you for your contribution to McKenzie River dory. Can you provide inline citations, which include the relevant page numbers to the reference you added? --Geronimo20 (talk) 21:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)" Sorry to take forever but, Yes!

Your advice is welcome
Hi User:Epipelagic. I am coming to your talk page as I note you signed the The Autie Pact back in 2012. I am a non-neurotypical who lives with Autism in the form of Asperger Syndrome. If you know much about those of us on the Spectrum as well as Misplaced Pages editors on the Spectrum, you probably understand that editing and communication can be difficult enough for neurotypicals, excruciatingly difficult at times for editors like me with Autism. I am here on your talk page not because I am asking you to intervene, I am not canvassing for support. I am here because you signed the Autie Pact that is meant to be a way to move toward bridging the gap between neurotypical editors and editors with Autism Spectrum Disorder(s). Currently, there has been a discussion for a few days at AN/I regarding my ability to edit. I have been open there about being a person with Asperger's. When that information was brought forth, the reactions have been -- shall we say -- less than complimentary to those expressing their views about editors with Autism. This discussion and the comments from long-time and not-so-long-time editors is, in my opinion, an example of how far we still have to go in Misplaced Pages toward understanding that we are made up of editors with different editing styles and different ways of seeing the world. Of course, the difference in editors with Autism is more obvious and can be, at times, more maddening to neurotypicals. That said, with the rate of autism being somewhere between 1:55 - 1:110 and Misplaced Pages being a magnet for those with ASDs, I think it's fair to say that awareness is extremely important. Also important to remember is that discrimination against editors because they have ASDs is just not appropriate nor does it echo WP:AGF. If you are interested in seeing the thread at AN/I I am referring to, the link is here . I have no expectation that you will look at it, my purpose here is really just awareness that Misplaced Pages still has a long way to go in the way of interactions and understanding between autism-spectrum editors and neurotypical editors. And, as the title of this section says, your advice would be welcome. Thanks for your time.
