Philippine Mouse Deer

Hi, can you help me concerning Pilandok. I followed the link from the history section and I think you are better in taxonomy than I am. Most Philippine-based sites and my teachers from elementary told me that it its the world's smallest hoofed animal. However, some sites including the one found in Wiki claim that the Lesser Mouse deer is the smallest. If we consider Pilandok as a subspecies of Tragulus napu (Greater Mouse deer) then Lesser Mouse deer wins. If as a separate species (Tragalus nigricans) perhaps it may have a fighting chance for the claim. But I don't know if it still a separate species.

Off topic. Does the Master degree in MSI have field work? I am contemplating on what Master's degree to pursue after graduation, MSI or NIGS. Basically just a choice between the mountains and the seas. ----Lenticel 09:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Special Delivery!

		The Special Barnstar
		This is for all the times you've helped me out with Wiki-related issues/problems, for greeting me on my Wikibirthday, for all those times you've heard me rant about my Wikistress...and for entertaining my queries regarding strange animals/insects I find at home AND for letting me pass Ecology last year even though I was such a slacker. HAHA! Thanks for everything! :D -- SilentAria talk 15:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Happy Wikibirthday!

Hope you stay for a long time, despite your love-hate relationship with Wikipedia. :-) --seav 02:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice to learn there's another UP faculty member on-board at the tambayan. Good luck with the thesis and happy Wikibirthday. :-D Alternativity 04:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

		The 25 DYK Medal
		Congratulations. A virus, an explosion and I feel we may see more articles on turtles and the Philipinnes. I see there is a school called St Marys that has no article despite such a noted biologist alumni :-) Anyway, more seriously thanks from me and the wiki.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of IUCN Species Survival Commission

The article IUCN Species Survival Commission has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Entire contents was copy-pasted from websites for each subject area. I deleted a lot of it but trying to tease out original content from copyright violation is hopeless.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
