Thanks for uploading the numerous nice photos! I have removed the two photos you had placed under the Ruby-crowned Tanager, as they both show a female Silver-beaked Tanager. Likewise, I removed the photo you had placed under the Southern Masked Weaver as it was a male Village Weaver, the photo placed under the Ruddy Ground-dove as it was a female Blue Ground-dove, the photo placed under Whitehead's Broadbill was a male Green Broadbill, and the two photos placed under Javan Trogon were Sumatran Trogons. While visiting your excellent gallery, I did find a few other issues: [1] and [2] both show a Pacific Hornero, [3] is a Blue-grey Tanager, [4] and [5] are a female and juvenile Violaceous Euphonia, [6], [7] and [8] all show a male Violaceous Euphonia, [9] and [10] are Black Kites, [11] is a Kikuyu White-eye, and [12] is a White-tailed Eagle. Among the mystery birds: [13] is a female Spangled Cotinga, [14] is a Rusty Laughingthrush of the mainland population now commonly called the Buffy Laughingthrush, [15] is a Sooty-headed Bulbul, and [16] is a Blue-grey Tanager. If you have any questions on the above, feel free to ask on my talk page. • Rabo³ • 17:23, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Doug, recently I've noticed that you've uploaded some excellent bird shots into 'Galleries' on numerous bird-articles, Currently there seems to be a movement to 'eradicate' these 'Galleries' from WP articles....something that I'm not really in favour of. See [17], basically most admins would like them all moved but I'm arguing that they can be useful if they display variations in plumages of races, sexes or maturity of bird-species. They also want to see a change in the title from 'Gallery' to a more descriptive one though I'm not sure that 'Various views and plumages' is very inspiring either. Might be interesting to discuss it further. Aviceda talk 21:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 01:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC) |
