Re: Ferns
I like ferns, so let me know if I can help. Viriditas (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Viriditas You can help me find 2 other ferns/leaves. I haven't decided if kale could be the second leaf yet, so you have some time to help! Purplemaker (talk) 23:20, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Can I have a hint of what you are looking for so I can present you with the right one? Viriditas (talk) 23:56, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- I'm looking for 3 leaves, and I want details as well. I can't give a hint, just choose 2 as I found the first one. Purplemaker (talk) 23:57, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Well, the first you chose on the refdesk was edible, and the second one you are undecided on is kale, so it seems like the hint is edible ferns. Viriditas (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Are there more edible ferns though? Purplemaker (talk) 00:04, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- In the early 2000s, Matteuccia struthiopteris became widely popular and was often included on many restaurant menus. Haven't seen it used as much anymore. Viriditas (talk) 00:08, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Ok so now we have 7 options. I need what it looks like too. Are the pictures of it in the articles you gave? Purplemaker (talk) 00:14, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, just click on the links. Viriditas (talk) 00:21, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks! Purplemaker (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Getting StartedTutorial
Learn everything you need to know to get started.
The Teahouse
Ask questions and get help from experienced editors.
The Task Center
Learn what Wikipedians do and discover how to help. Has a list of maintenance tasks you can do.
Tips- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 07:00, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Your sig
Youd signature has an error. It should say "You're", not "Your". FYI... David10244 (talk) 16:13, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
- That was a typo from the device I'm using

GAN
Hey, hows the GAN going? Monathephantom (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- Not as good as I thought it would go. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:00, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Purplemaker, you said the article was in standards with the good article cited is right? I already showed you how to pass it. If you don’t or can’t , then decline the review. Monathephantom (talk) 01:02, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- It's just, I don't think it will actually let me do anything with the review now that I've "published" it. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:04, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Purplemaker do you want me to accept the review for you then? Since you can’t do it? Monathephantom (talk) 01:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, please. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:06, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Done. In the future, i think you should try to review good articles less and wait until you've become a more experienced editor. Monathephantom (talk) 01:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Okay. Well, I'm off to editing. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- And I don't mean I quit, I mean I'm editing more. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- I see most of your edits is not from the mainspace and are usually are from talkpages or the teahouse. Try to edit actual articles more so you have a better understanding of articles. Monathephantom (talk) 01:22, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- The teahouse and talkpages? Well, I did edit those to help people, even if it's misguided help, but who said they could see my edits? Everybody did, of course! Because there's the contributions page!
- Well, I'll go help people quickly then edit articles. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:34, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hey friend don’t worry, it’s fine if you just use your time to mostly help other people. But I do think it’s better if you help out articles as well too. Monathephantom (talk) 01:36, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah well the teahouse is waiting and I don't want to go away from the articles so ill help the people then help the articles. Purple, the Maker (Your welcome to say something!) 01:38, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

GA reviewing
Hi @Purplemaker, thank you for your efforts in GA reviewing recently. I know you have the best of intentions helping out with reviews, but you definitely need some more writing experience before you are ready to review. I therefore suggest you stop GA reviewing and work instead on building up your editing skills. One way you could do this is by doing some more edits on articles, working on content, and then when you feel comfortable with this, you could try writing your own GA. I'm here to help if you have any questions or want any advice. IAWW (talk) 20:36, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
