(edit conflicted) Go for it, just ... some of these pics are probably better used at Portal:Biology, which also isn't being regularly maintained anymore. -- Cyde Weys 03:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I thought about that. I figured it doesn't matter because biology is under the science category. I also stole some pictures from the history portal's featured pictures. Is that ok? -- [[Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg|17px]]  Mac Davis ] ⌇☢ &#xE0D;&#x19B;. 03:38, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying that science Biology specfically has its own portal the biologic-type-stuff should go there and the other sciency stuff could remain at Portal:Science. Portal:Biology is already showing pics of various creatures on a pretty much weekly basis ... no need to replicate that with Portal:Science.  -- Cyde Weys  03:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I took them out, with some others. Come to think of it I should have crossed them out instead of deleted them. -- [[Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg|17px]]  Mac Davis ] ⌇☢ &#xE0D;&#x19B;. 04:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
