[edit] wikifying names

hi,

just saw that you created some genus pages for tarantulas :) two things: please try to wikify every name only once, not every occurence (example: Psalmopoeus). the wikipedia server needs to work for each link, and so this helps to keep the workload down. and, if you wikify names, please check if they link to the real person, and not for example a disambiguation (like in Strand for example). Check this list for exact links, ready to paste. also, if you add something like this {{WPSpiders|Start|Low}} to the spider genus Talk page, it is easier for the spider people to find + maintain the page. If you want, take a look at the WikiProject Spiders. cheers :) --Sarefo 21:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

some more things (just browsing your contributions): genus always capitalized, but species and subspecies always in small letters: Gallicolumba rufigula alaris instead of Gallicolumba Rufigula Alaris. Similar to the spider pages, try to add {{BirdTalk}} at the bird Talk page. --Sarefo 22:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wrong White-throated Robin

Hi LT, just noticed that you have uploaded an image of a White-throated Robin [[1]] unfortunately it's a different species to the one on the page, this species is a Central Asian-Middle-East one.Aviceda talk 03:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
