User:Fyslee/Greenland gallery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This private gallery is now continued at: Greenland nature galleries

Greenland nature galleries is a resource and workplace for members of Wikiproject Greenland and is intended to make it easier to find information and build articles of relevance to the project. It is a place for galleries and lists of key words, articles, and resources related to Greenland, especially its flora and fauna. External resources may be listed, but this should not become a list of private websites. Some resources that are not directly about Greenland (such as Canadian and other Arctic-related information) may still be useful in developing articles about Greenland.

This resource may be enlarged to include other items relevant to Wikiproject Greenland. It is not an article and is not expected to conform to article standards. Project members who contribute here should keep in mind that what may not be relevant to them may be relevant to another member, so inclusionism is the word. Seek to build rather than tear down.

Wikipedia Commons is the place to find images and we need many more images related to Greenland. When uploading them make sure they meet the rules outlined at Commons. Upload your own and other's images. Just ask them and you'll be surprised how many total strangers are willing to let their images be used here. Just search public and private websites, register the URLs you find interesting, and write them an email. If you need help, just mention it on the talk page.

Latin taxonomy and Danish translations are provided as they can be helpful when searching for more information.
