{{helpme}} I currently need several images of a Masked Ringtail. If you can provide, that would be great. If not, websites or sources where I can find my requirements would accepted too. (KnowledgeRequire (talk) 22:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC))
- Since there' nothing in the article, and there doesn't appear to be anything on the the Wikimedia Commons, it appears you're stuck with a Google image search.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:27, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Galleries
Gallery articles go on the Commons. You will find your elephants at Commons:African elephant. You should now use Magnus' toy to request the transfer to the Commons of those images which are not already there. Once they have been moved, go to the descriptions on the Commons and put them into appropriate categories.
I have moved File:BushElephantProvidenceZoo.jpg & file:Bull elephants small.jpg for you. They need categories now. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hail
I think I've responded to all your comments now. As for the hail size comment, I did add a line concerning measurement of hail with a ruler prior to comparison to common objects, per your comments. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

- I've posted article specific information on the talk page of Sever weather. I restored my edit to the lead; I think it's an improvement. If you disagree we'll seek consensus on the talk page. Specifically, the lead had problems with WP:UMD, but also WP:LEDE and some other general MoS guidelines.
My real concern though was that you very quickly reverted my edit, saying that it was already cited. My concern was a style one. I worry that your revert would quickly scare away newcomers because it's very different for a repeat editor of an article to revert than for a vandal patroler to do so. It's bitey to blithely revert a good faith edit, particularly when that edit is specifically within guideline. It would be better to restore the part you thought was right, while keeping the rest.
There's a reason that the page is showing up on the copyedit guild--from the first sentence it needs revision on a few MoS conventions. Don't scare off those trying to help you improve the article. We all have different strengths. We've all done it, me included. When we edit articles a lot we tend to know what's going on, and think they're in good shape, but sometimes an outside eye is helpful. As you may have seen, Wikipedia's gaining a reputation of scaring off new editors. I understand the process, but if I was new I don't know if I'd bother to do that. Shadowjams (talk) 00:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- One of the editors contacted me about new ideas regarding this article. Since I've been away from the article for eight months, I saw it with a fresh perspective. I think we went about things in a way that was too complicated last year. This morning, I simplified the format. I'd be interested in your opinion as to whether this reorganization improved the article or not. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:24, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do. School has been harsh lately and I'm having trouble finding the time. But so far, it has improved drastically. I might take a more detailed look later. KnowledgeRequire (talk) 23:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey there. Would you be willing to take a look at my edits (specifically these ones: [1], [2], [3] and [4]. I based my moves over the links I saw (provided in edit history) but I am no expert in these species so I thought maybe you can double check. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 03:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm too not an expert in rodents, but based on the information I have, the move is fine. Thanks for your edits! KnowledgeRequire (talk) 00:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Announcement
Hello! I'm The Arbiter, one of the coordinators for WikiProject Zoo. I am proud to announce the launch of a new portal: Portal:Zoos and Aquariums! ZooPro, ZooFari, and I worked hard to create a new portal for information on zoos, aquariums, and the associated projects and articles on Wikipedia. If you could head on over, take a look at our work, and maybe learn some more about zoos and Wikiproject Zoo, it would be great! Cheers and Happy Editing!

Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 04:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
