== Commons deletion request for Mammal_Diversity_2011.png == 

 Apologies if you're already aware of this, but I see you haven't edited on Commons since January so I thought I'd drop you a note about it just in case.  One of your very nice animal diversity montages, Mammal_Diversity_2011.png, was recently 
 nominated for deletion because one of its component images, 
 Notoryctes typhlops.jpg (marsupial mole), was a blatant copyright infringement.  Your picture has not been deleted, but it has now been replaced with a version in which the infringing component image has been blanked out. 

 Although I have now replaced the Commons image of the marsupial mole with a public domain version, this is a lithograph, clearly unsuitable for insertion into your mammal diversity picture.  I had thought of replacing the marsupial mole in the picture myself with an image of a Tasmanian devil or a bilby.  However, as the artist responsible for the original picture, you would obviously be better placed to decide what image should be used to replace that of the marsupial mole.   Ideally, I suppose, this would be a good freely licensed or public domain photograph of a marsupial mole, but I suspect such a photograph will be very hard to come by.  The marsupial mole is a very elusive creature, spending most of its life underground in remote sandy deserts.  None have survived in captivity for more than a few months, and so there are no zoos anywhere which contain specimens.  None of the Google photographic images I looked at were credibly claimed to be available under a free license.
