November 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Barred Eagle-owl has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. \ / () 11:00, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Umm, how is adding the image of the species from commons unconstructive? --Albval (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ha, Ignore me, I must have tried to revert a different page. Apologies, I owe you one. :) \ / () 11:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
No worries, thanks for the clarification! --Albval (talk) 11:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Adding images of birds edit

Hello, I notice you added an image of a species from Flickr to a bird article (Fan-tailed Grassbird) with no photo. This is great, but can you also try to remove the 'needs-photo=yes' from the template on the talk page? See the talk page of this species for an example.

Ok, I'll do that in the future. Didin't know the template even existed. --Albval (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Aspitates gilvaria edit

Hello there! I have taken it from a site of a fellow country man of yours, see: http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/geometroidea/geometridae/ennominae/aspitates/index.html. I use this site quite often, but some of the info is incomplete and/or outdated, so it might be this ssp. is elevated to species level or placed as a synonym. If you find out, could you correct the English article as well? Thanks! Ruigeroeland (talk) 08:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'll see what I can do, but the sources (excluding random webpages) are hard to come by. --Albval (talk) 09:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hello again! I'm affraid I wont be able to help you with that. You could try user Dumi on the German wikipedia, he seems a proper specialist and I think he would be able to help you out. I only make articles on wikipedia and am not a specialist in real life.. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruigeroeland (talkcontribs)
