[edit] Cordylus jonesii

Hi, and thanks very much for your contributions -- please keep them coming :). A small point: Wikipedia's naming conventions ask that article titles use common names where possible; redirect pages with scientific names can be created for users searching under the scientific name. I see you're a new user: if you're not sure how to rename (aka move) an article, I can do it for you if you could provide the common names which would be the new article titles, or you could consult Help:Moving a page.

Here are a few links about naming conventions for Wikipedia articles:

Hi again. I took the liberty of renaming a couple of the articles per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna). Another small point: signing using four tildes (~~~~) is for user talk pages, article talk pages, or other discussion pages only; edits to articles should not be signed. --Rrburke(talk) 13:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. Where a species has an official common name, this name is recommended to be used as the article title. Redirect pages should then be created from the scientific name and other colloquial names. In cases where different species share a common name, a disambiguation page should be created.
If you have any specimen photographs you would consider adding to the articles, you can upload them either to Wikipedia or to http://commons.wikimedia.org , where they will be available across the spectrum of Wikimedia projects. Images can be added to a taxobox such as that to be found in the article Giant Girdled Lizard.
Finally, here are a couple of Wikiprojects that may interest you:

[edit] License tagging for Image:Cordylus mossambicus female.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Cordylus mossambicus female.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot 02:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
