Hello, FunkMonk! I see that you're terribly busy...however, I noticed you added a picture from the PLoS ONE ''Magnapaulia'' article, so I wondered whether you on some future date might find the time to also upload the image with the skin impressions, which seems to be of special interest (of course any other image would be very welcome also ;o)?

Palestinian Infobox?

Hey Funk,

I was wondering why you reverted the Palestinian page infobox without discussing it at all on the talk page, we had come to a consensus earlier this year that the additional notable people we had added into the box were beneficial to the page because it helps show viewers on the page more Palestinian people and what they have accomplished.

Since being disallowed due to certain editors to include historical palestinians in the box such as early saints and what not, the box was satisfactory at best the way it was with the 16 notable Palestinians but now that you reverted it to the 8 person one it has devalued the page. Somehow the file that I created of that infobox and the infomation associated with it have been deleted, what's up with that? I saw you also noted "copyright" issues in the box that was there, but I had double checked every picture, if they were not on the wikipedia commmons with free use then they were flickr images that had usage rights usable for places such as wikipedia.

Please get back to me about this. Lazyfoxx 20:18, 6 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazyfoxx (talkcontribs)

There were several copyright violations among the images, and many of the people were simply "filler". FunkMonk (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Which images were copyright violations? I had double checked the images with an administrator and he did not find any violations. Your personal opinion is that they were filler but if we look at other pages such as the Lebanese, the Irish, and other ethnicities, they have many many notable people in their infoboxes that a person could also see as fillers. You could have at least opened up a discussion about it before deleting not only the picture but any of the history of the picture collage on here as well... :/ Lazyfoxx 04:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I looked at Flickr, and the licenses were ñot Commons compatible for all the new additions. FunkMonk (talk) 10:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
If any of the Flickr images (I believe only 2 or 3 out of the 16 were even from flickr) were not compatible, don't you think you should have brought it up in the talk page before removing the image entirely and relinking it to a older version with less pictures? Also what do you have to say about my previous statements concerning our dubious discussions on the talk page about the infobox already? What do you have to say about having so few notables in the infobox on the Palestinian page while on other pages there are many notables, I thought you shared equal views on this issue, many of the pro-israeli editors would like to see as few notable individuals in the Palestinian box as possible. I believe the Palestinian box should follow suit with the Lebanese box in regards to the infoboxes, this seems to work best for every ethnicity page on wikipedia. Lazyfoxx 20:40, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
The picture of Edward Said as an adult that I used is usable on wikipedia, http://www.flickr.com/photos/26585693@N05/2540741362/sizes/m/in/photostream/ see here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazyfoxx (talkcontribs) 20:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Some Redirect Help

Could I get your help/input in moving Gemuendina stuertzi and Nefudina qalibahensis‎ to Gemuendina and Nefudina, respectively? I tried to request a technical request for the moves, but, then they simply opened up threads on the talkpages.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm only an admin in Commons, so I sadly can't do anything. There are a few other articles that should be moved too. FunkMonk (talk) 14:52, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Well, thank you anyhow.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Nice images

The Photographer's Barnstar
Thank you for adding images to Burmese eyed turtle‎, Indian eyed turtle‎ and Indian black turtle Regards, SunCreator 19:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Many more turtle articles (Category:Turtle_articles_needing_photos) require a photo. Regards, SunCreator 19:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, there might be more to come. FunkMonk (talk) 19:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Guillemots

Hi there FunkMonk. Has there been any discussion or consensus reached about whether the page Guillemots should redirect to Guillemot or be about the band of the same name? I'm not necessarily disputing your change, but I'm just not entirely sure at the moment if I agree with it. Just wondering. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 19:14, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

No, but if a band was called "lions" or some such, it should still redirect to the main topic. But perhaps Guillemots itself should be a disambiguation page, the band certainly isn't the main topic with that name. FunkMonk (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Hmm... Fair enough. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 01:55, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Peer review

Hello! I see you are looking for a peer review for Dodo. I have just listed the article Common toad for peer review and wondered if we could swap reviews. I am not very experienced with FAC but have recently nominated Bivalvia there and it is currently going through the process. I also recently successfully jointly nominated Western jackdaw with Casliber who is well experienced and from whom I learnt a lot. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:16, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm very inexperienced myself, this is my first listing for review, and I've never nominated for FA, so I'm not sure what swapping means in this context? FunkMonk (talk) 11:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Well I haven't been involved with peer review before either but am becoming more aware of what is required for FA. If you were to review Common Toad and I reviewed Dodo I expect we could both find some new perspectives on how the two articles might be improved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:59, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
