[edit] Image in taxo box
I'm wondering why the perfectly good image I put in the taxo box when I started the article needed to be replaced (and eliminated from the article) by Dysmorodrepanis in a later edit. The replacement image was not better, or in my opinion, even comparable to the original for giving a full view of the butterfly. If Dysmorodrepanis intention was to add an image that showed the wings' underside, that could have been done just as easily by putting his image in the gallery.
I'm fairly new to wikipedia, and without knowing all the "ins and outs" I have assumed that I should respect the images (and text) other people have placed in articles. If I think I have a "better image" - I'll add it to the article, but not by displacing or removing someone else's work. As members of a collective enterprise, it seems to me that we should be respectful of the time and energy people have put into making their contributions and only remove another's work when it is clearly necessary for the betterment of the article.
