Welcome to my Wikipedia work desk. I keep useful links, lists of things to do and other Wikipedia-related stuff here.

Picture of the day The sailfin snapper (Symphorichthys spilurus) is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the snapper family, Lutjanidae. It is found in the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, at depths between 5 and 60 metres (16 and 197 feet). It lives in areas of sand near to reefs in lagoons and over outer reefs. The sailfin snapper is targeted in mixed-species fisheries throughout its range, being caught predominantly using handlines and bottom trawling. The juveniles appear in the aquarium trade. This sailfin snapper was photographed in Wilhelma, a zoological–botanical garden in Stuttgart, Germany.Photograph credit: H. Zell
