message: I have started blue-linking birds that were listed at Requested Pages. I've brought them all here: User:Marskell/birds (note the initial pages done the last couple of days). It's basically the IUCN plus what I can find on google to create a stub.
I'd like a second gnomish editor to a) double-check the taxa info; b) find pics (where do you folks go for those?); and c) to expand, of course, as much as possible. Let me know; there's only ten thousand-odd of these so we can get an article on all of the :). Marskell 21:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Where do we go for images?  Take them ourselves (mine are the blurry ones), use those that other wikipedians have taken (I've found several images on Commons that weren't being used), find them on public-domain sites like the USFWS, find them on Flickr or Google Images with a free license or get permission (that doesn't work too often), get them from friends, request pictures.  That can be the "we" that includes "you", by the way :-)  —JerryFriedman 01:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I offer to do sketches of birds that are tough to get images for. I can take up limited request over weekends, and they will typically be in a certain simplified artistic style like the samples here. Shyamal 04:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Do you like this 

message: I've written start articles for Tree Martin and Fairy Martin as requested pages. I would have thought that someone in Oz might have images of these common swallows that they could add? Jimfbleak 10:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been adding to this to extend the article beyond the US, and in particular I've added the other subspecies. I'd like to have a sentence of description, but apart from costaricensis, where I have the book, I can find nothing on the web, even for the nominate race jamaicensis.  I would have thought that someone, esp in the US, would have a field guide for Mexico or the West Indies at least, and could add a bit. Jimfbleak 10:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello folks! I've put an article I (mostly) wrote, Daspletosaurus, up for peer review here. Most of the WP:DINO editors have already had a look at it, but I wouldn't mind suggestions from a wider array of editors. So I invite anyone reading this to look the article over and comment on the peer review page. Thank you! Sheep81 23:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
