Hi Xerxes2k,

I saw what you di for the H5N1 article, and just wanted to say thanks! That was marvelously nice of you. I do wonder if the graph might not be the best way of representing that data, since they change so often—the same data are in the table, incidentally. Also, could you let me know what was your source for the (very beautiful) map? It's probably best that the source be stated at the bottom of the graphic itself. Thanks! encephalon  22:29, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for updating Image_BirdFluWorld. If you have the time and desire, here are some ideas for improving it even further (if I may be so bold):
 * Iraq has also had a "confirmed human death from H5N1".
 * Countries that have reported one or more H5N1 outbreaks in poultry are: Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkey, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, Cyprus, Iraq, Nigeria. You don't include all of these.
 * An eagle in quaranteen in England is no reason to label it a country with a "poultry case". Greece and Italy and many other nations have had an incident with a one to a handful of wild birds with H5N1. Not poultry. not an outbreak. not just greece and italy.

 * The UK "case" was a single imported bird, in quarantine as is the normal practice. There was never any risk of an outbreak from this. Harumphy 15:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Graphics Lab
I saw your name listed on Wikiproject Illustration or  the list of graphic artists, and I thought I'd let you know that a Graphics Lab has been created on EN. Based on the highly successful French and German graphics labs, it seeks to better organise and coordinate our graphic design and photo-editing efforts. Up until now, there has been no common space on EN where users could ask for maps, charts and other SVG files to be created. What's more, the Graphics Lab has discussion boards, tips, tools and links; in sum, a good common workspace. Come help us out! The infrastucture is already in place, and now we need participants. :) -- Zantastik  talk  00:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
