I have sent you a note about a page you started
Looks good: I've linked the article to the Wikidata entry, which activates the taxobar. One mistake: you'd copied over "Category:Trimeresurus|cardamomensis" from the Trimeresurus cardamomensis article; this needed to be changed to "Category:Trimeresurus|gunaleni" so in the category it appears under 'g'. I've fixed this.

 * Thank you for your help! How do I connect articles to Wikidata entries? Sorry I didn't know any of this when I started making these articles! --Nerd1a4i (talk) 05:13, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure, it's pretty easy! The taxobar pulls its data from Wikidata, Wikipedia's sister project that holds structured records like species IDs. All you need to do is go to the species record, e.g. here and the list of articles by language at top right, hit edit, put in 'en' for English on a new line, and the name of the article. Thanks for all your hard work-any other questions just let me know and I'll do my best to help! Blythwood (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Trimeresurus phuketensis.png
Thanks for uploading File:Trimeresurus phuketensis.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
