Hello, Photo2222, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page provides helpful information for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

I really like your additions of fish-related articles. Very nice work. Make sure you link to them wherever possible (and plausible of course). |→ Spaully₪† 21:22, 5 May 2007 (GMT)

Many thanks for the kind comment - as a newbie here it's good to know the pages are being seen and especially nice to know they are appreciated! Any constructive criticism would be really appreciated. Thanks!
No problem. It's refreshing to see a new account that isn't vandalising! A few hopefully constructive things you might want to take note of:
With user talk page entries like this make sure you sign your entry with ~~~~, which produces a time-stamped signature.
Further to my point about making sure your articles are linked to, when you create an entry on an organism with using its' common name (which is normal), remember to create a redirect page from the species name. This means that preexisting articles which link to the species will find your page. A redirect is a page with just: #REDIRECT [[Clown coris]]
Consider adding {{Fishproject}} to the talk pages of fish articles. This will allow people editing your page in future to get guidance at the Fishes project, or for editors to find your article from it.
Really all quite minor things, and not related to the articles themselves. Keep it up :) |→ Spaully₪† 20:01, 7 May 2007 (GMT)


[edit] List of red sea sharks

Hi! See my comment on List of red sea sharks talk page. Stefan 23:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article creation

Could you please expand more to the articles you have created? Although the creation of such articles are appreciated, there is a possibility of deletion for lack of content. Thanks. --Dark Falls talk 07:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • - content's coming! Sorry for creating so many stubs but I find it much easier to make a few at a time and then return to fill them out when I have completed several - I have made each page with a link to the relevant fishbase article so it should be easy for anyone to find the reference material and fill them out too. I also feel that a page with at least a taxobox is better than none and I would be surprised if it were deleted for lack of content - surtely the taxonomic information alone is worth having the page for?

[edit] Bonefish

In July you added an introduction to this page and in it mentioned bonefish are not particularly good to eat. The page cited doesn't mention anything about consumption, except that ciguatera poisoning has been reported. I don't know anything about fish, the only reason I bring this up is that I read the I-Kiribati (peoples of Kiribati) have been eating this fish for hundreds if not thousands of years. --Henry W.

Perhaps I was a little too liberal in re-writing the phrase "Flesh is bony and not esteemed" - I admit I was struggling to find less stilted English for it! I have no further reference material for this fish; perhaps the statement shouldn't stand.Photo2222 (talk) 19:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
