[edit] Can someone take a look at Ctenophore?
I just finished a translation of this article from the featured article at the German Wikipedia (Rippenquallen). But it really needs some expert attention, to make sure that I got scientific terms like "cilia", "systematics", "phylegeny" etc. in the right places. I hope that nothing's actually blatantly inaccurate, but there may be cases where I selected an ill-fitting translation of a German word. If it was to ever become a featured article here (and, despite knowing nothing about marine biology, I found the German article very interesting), it would also need some inline citations - I don't have easy access to the literature, but maybe the Wikipedians here do. --Sam Blanning(talk) 17:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help with vendace
While working on Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/fr, I found out that the name "vendace" refers to at least two different species in the genus Coregonus: C. albula and C. vandesius. I was wondering if anyone here could comment at Talk:vendace and help sort out the disambiguation issues. Thanks, Ardric47 00:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hope I can help
Looks a bit like Wikipedia needs serious help on it's fish related articles, so here I am. I'm more into keeping fish for hobby, but can do anything you want me to. I'm an intermediate user, only joined a couple months ago, but just messasge me for anything. --Minfo 03:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 23:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wildlife Barnstar

[edit] Proposed Veterinary medicine project
There is now a proposed project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Veterinary Medicine to deal with matters of veterinary medicine, a subject which currently has disproportionately low content in wikipedia. Any wikipedia editors who have an interest in working on content related to the subject are encouraged to indicate as much there. Thank you for your attention.

[edit] Limidae species
Having trouble identifying this limidae species. I took this picture in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This fellow was almost a meter wide and it had electric sparks flashing on its mantle. A google search for "electric fire clam" provides video footage of the electric sparks. Would appreciate if anyone could help with the identity. And of course if anyone would like a go at an article of this species, that would be great too. Jnpet 04:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Fish Quiz
I'm happy to announce that the Fish Portal has added a new feature - The Fish Quiz!! Come test your knowledge, interact with other fish editors, try to win the game and have your name honored in the Hall of Fame, and have a fun break from editing wikipedia. Cheers --Melanochromis 08:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Will someone please review my Leptasterias pusilla article..
I am new to wikipedia, and this is only my second article. It still needs more content and citations; however, I wanted to get some input on it so far. Any feedback on how to make it better, etc., would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much in advance! Kilbad 03:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
