Hello Mmcknight4. Welcome. I noticed that you made a Phoenix reclinata page. It was just sort of floating in nowhere because a P. reclinata page hadn't been made on the table of contents for you to click on. So, I made a P. reclinata page on the table of contents and copy/pasted your contribution to it. Just FYI. I think that only SYSOPS can add new genus or species to the table of content pages to prevent vandalism. If there's any other new species you can think of that you want us to add, just click on the discussion page of any of the SYSOPS and we can add it for you. MattyB 11:43, 29 October 2007 (PDT)

Hi and thanks for adding content to the Palmpedia.

I respectfully request you review your work before you 'save'. I'm looking at Hyophorbe verschaffeltii and it has a palmbox for H. lagenicaulis, and a new Caryota gigas page when the name doesn't conform to the RBG Kew list. I don't want to discourage your participation, because you are making great contributions, it's just that I spent a huge number of hours reviewing, verifying and editing the names and I don't want to have to do the whole thing over again, if you follow. So could you please fix your Hyophorbe pages? Also, I'd like to see some of the photos restored. Thanks. Kim 09:57, 5 November 2007 (PST)

Hi - yes, I could fix your mistakes in the time it takes to point them out to you; however, I would prefer that you take responsibility for your work and take a few extra seconds to prevent the mistakes in the first place. The specific photo I was missing is a fantastic pair of H. verschaffeltii in Point Loma. Kim 10:41, 5 November 2007 (PST)
