Etlingera maingayi

Hi Eric chan wei chiang, I've reformatted the article Etlingera maingayi to match the other articles about plants of the Zingiberaceae family. However, since I don't have access to the sources you've provided, I was unable to include them since I can't verify them. Please see WP:CITE for instructions on how to cite your sources, if you don't know how to. Alternatively, you could leave me a message and I can help you with it. Cheers, XXX antiuser ^eh? 10:09, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I've added some more of the scientific information you've provided to the article, but I'm not sure if we can include your own academic thesis. I don't know if it counts as original research. I will ask an admin about it but for the time being I ask that you not include it. Thanks, XXX antiuser ^eh? 10:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
