I am currently working on building pages for the ant genus: Myrmica

This was completely undeveloped.

[edit] db-author

I tagged a page you requested deletion of with {{db-author}}, producing the following: Template:Db-author. That can be helpful if you make any other mistakes in page creation. Thanks for creating these species pages on wikipedia. Subject expertise is always welcome. Cheers and happy editing!--Kchase02 T 01:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm going to be working on them over the next few days. Alois visagie 23:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

btw, you might also consider creating an ant stub type if you're going to create a lot of these. I can help with that. Just leave a msg here.--Kchase02 T 02:25, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

That would be really helpfull.

I started looking, and apparently we already have one. Use {{Ant-stub}}. --Kchase02 T 02:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, did you forget? (the ant-stub template above?)--Kchase02 T 12:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

ah! sorry. will start using it.

[edit] ANTS

KEEP UP THE EXPANSION! GOOD WORK! James Janderson 12:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm getting the basics down first, and then will progress to adding information on known ranges, habitats etc. Regarding wikipedia fair use of images, if I get permission from copyright holders to use their images of specific species, how do I go about showing this so the images arent pulled?

{helpme} I don't know the answer, but someone should be along shortly...--Kchase02 T 13:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

With fair use (Wikipedia:Fair use) you don't need permission from the photo owner. You are basically claiming that the image is so special (ie it's the only one in existence and no others will ever be made) that anyone can use it for critical commentary.

If you get permission from a copyright holder to use their image in Wikipedia, we can't accept it (unless we use fair use). Wikipedia images must be free, so we need the copyright holder to release it under a free licence (fair use is the exception to free images). Info: Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.--Commander Keane 13:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Myrmica

What a massive job you have taken up to yourself.... Let me know if I can help with admin related stuff that you might run into... -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 18:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protodiptera

How do I remove the disambiguation comment from this page?

Thanks.... A.V

[1] like so. I also rewrote ("wikified") the text. Feel free to revert (reverse) me.--Kchase02 T 20:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GIS/ Mapping software

Does anyone have any knowledge on GIS/Mapping software I can use to display global and regional population distributions for the various species. I'm just looking for something basic at first that will allow me to put 'species' against a country/region of a country and export this as a image I can embed into the page showing the distribution of the species worldwide.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alois visagie (talk • contribs).

Generally, people won't respond to questions you leave on your own talk page. You can put {{helpme}} on your talk page to get some help with general wikipedia stuff, but this question is too specific. Kim van der Linde studies fruit flies, so she might be able to help you out with such a program (her talk page is the "at venus" link after her signature above). If she can't help you, try the Wikipedia:Village pump or the Wikipedia:Help desk. Whatever you do, sign your message with four tildes, ~~~~, and consider asking for a response on your talk page. Hope that helps!--Kchase02 T 20:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
