Disambiguation link notification for May 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miscellanea Malacologica, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Taxonomy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Issue concerning pygmy pipehorses
Hello Invertzoo! I'm sorry to bother you with something that doesn't concern Gastropods, but the WikiProjects involved don't look very active, and perhaps you know someone who could give me a hand. An issue has come up with one of the AfC submissions. If you see the discussion in my talk page, that pretty much sums it up. I'd appreciate your input. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 13:34, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry Focusandlearn, I am sorry it took me a while to answer this, but I am really out of my depth with that discussion about pipefish! If you still have questions about the various articles, you should ask User:Epipelagic what he thinks; he is a real fish person. Invertzoo (talk) 01:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Invertzoo! No problem, I'll have a chat with Epipelagic, see what he/she thinks... FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 01:43, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Input request
Hello Invertzoo,

I am requesting input from all participants in the discussion from the recent Signpost article on sexism in Wikipedia for a proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/National teams. Thank you in advance for any contributions to the discussion. Dkreisst (talk) 21:20, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates/Veined rapa whelk shell
Hope you noticed this discussion that I posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods. I noticed your earlier complaint; that's why this notice. Hope everything is OK; this time. :) J Kadavoor J e e 05:08, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Commons
Hello Invertzoo! Do you know anything about uploading photos to Commons? Thanks! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 14:08, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello to you too FoCuS. OK... to upload files to Commons you need to be logged in to Commons, in other words you have to go ahead and register there just like you did for Wikipedia. Here is a page you can use to start:


 * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard


 * Once you have an account on Commons (you can use the exact same user name that you have here), you can use the Commons "Upload Wizard" to upload files to Commons. The Wizard interface will make it fairly easy for you, by explaining the steps, but the file or files you want to upload must be "free". That means you must own the copyright yourself and be prepared to give it away, or you must have found the image somewhere where you know for a fact that it is in the public domain.
 * Is that enough info for a start? Invertzoo (talk) 01:14, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It is, thanks! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 01:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * FoCuSandLeArN You can use your current account on Commons; no need to register again. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 12:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh! It must've been one of those times I cruised through Commons, and the account was automatically created, the same as with other Wikis. One less step ;) FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Copied from Ganesh's talk page by Invertzoo:
 * Focus can use his Wikipedia account to login to Commons. It is a unified login across all Wikimedia projects. The Commons account will get created at the first login. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 14:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Happy birthday!
Dunno when it was, but hope you had a lovely day! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You are very kind FoCuS! Yes it was lovely weather that day, about a week ago. Now it is pouring rain and chilly and no fun at all! Invertzoo (talk) 21:52, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Gastropoda
Whenever I notice I have an unexpected message on my Talk page, I always wince-- I always suspect that I am about to be chastised or corrected for some Wiki faux pas or other, and often enough that has been the case (we learn by making mistakes, and I have made my share here). How unusual, then, to see such a notice and then, with bated breath, read the message, and have it say, "thank you."

To which I now say in return, "You are most welcome." I will apologize for the brevity of the articles on streptoneury and euthyneury, but at least they now exist.

But more than this, I wanted to invite you to check out my anatomic illustrations for the articles on the scallop and the saltwater limpet (and to a lesser extent, the article on Monoplacophora). I am revising the one for the limpet even as we speak-- my depiction of the kidneys and the heart was much too simplistic, and I hope to have a better diagram put together within the next week or so.

Thank you for saying thanks, and for noticing at all. Much appreciated. KDS 4444 Talk  01:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Page moved: Pulmonata.jpg
Howdy. Ive moved Pulmonata.jpg to Featured picture candidates/delist/Pulmonata.jpg - I think this was where you meant to create the article. If not shout and I'll assist further. - TB (talk) 09:35, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much TB! That is exactly what I should have done. I very much appreciate your doing it for me. Invertzoo (talk) 12:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Request for Comment(ary)
Hi! Another editor and I are having a discussion over at |Talk:Han solo (trilobite) over whether to move "Han solo (trilobite)" to "Han (trilobite)". We mostly agree (i.e., per Wikipedia policy concerning monotypic genus articles), though, I think we might be better served if we had another point of view in the discussion. Thank you for your time.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:58, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

GL Photography reply
I added a few options to the Opened live scallop thread (new distinct files).

Whooda' thunk' that a scallop shell (sans naked Venus) could motivate the interest of so many image editors?

Please, don't be 'put off' by editorial comments between graphists. It's just a bunch of artistic personalities polishing each others marbles. 'Par for the course'. While it can get a bit unseemly at times, image quality generally comes out on top in the end.

Thanks for inspiring us, --Kevjonesin (talk) 17:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

p.s. A scallop anatomy question is included along with the images at: Opened live scallop#Other options. --Kevjonesin (talk) 22:50, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
