Disambiguation link notification for November 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

"Binomial authority=Vinn", maybe?

Hi Dr Vinn. As you can see from

• Åge Vedel Tåning
• Alec Fraser-Brunner
• Karl Emil Lischke
• Louis Michel Français Doyère
• Hans Hedicke
• Anton Franz Nonfried
• Robert W. Mitchell
• Niels Tønder Lund

and a lot of the other articles I have started, I like writing Wikipedia biographies of biologists.
Could you possibly give an example of a (in Wikipedia jargon "Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Reliable source)" about you that is not from you, any person associated with you, or any institute associated with you?

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Anticalyptraea calyptrata.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Self-published material

Thank you, but we can't use self-published sources as references, see WP:SPS. In any case, you have a conflict of interest so the appropriate course for any material that meets our criteria at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS would be to propose it on the talk page, see WP:COI. I'd appreciate it if you'd revert your earlier addtions of self-published work. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 18:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Olev Vinn: "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications" I am a well known author of ISI WEB OF SCIENCE publications (N=63, h=14) in the field of biological evolution and natural sciences in general.

As an expert in the field, your contributions are welcome. WP:SELFCITE has additional guidelines for citing your own research. Cheers, --Animalparty-- (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

A page you started (Anoigmaichnus) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Anoigmaichnus, Olev Vinn!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

You might further define "bioclaustrations" to improve clarity since it does not appear to be covered in trace fossil or Ichnotaxon. Cheers.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.
