Cottontail and Desert Cottontail Articles

edit

Hello, Just curious why you decided to make Galleries in the Cottontail Articles. I am naturally biased because I took most of the photos. However, I thought the pages looked better with the photos scattered through the articles. I prefer not to reverse other editors work, but I'm curious why you made the edits. Thanks Pocketthis (talk) 14:38, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Because they were pretty much all to the side under the taxobox so it looked unorganized and unexpected. In the gallery they are all neatly aligned next to each-other and are after all of the important text so you expect them more than you would if it were not with the text and just to the side. With the Cottontail article I did not like how the "submissive posture" photo was offsetting the species list. If the eating mechanics paragraph were longer and had more details, the image wouldn't offset the species list and it would look neater. I thought about putting it to the left at the top of the article but that did not look good to me either, conflicted with the taxobox image and the style manual does not recommend it either, which you may also find useful on explaining why/what I did: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images#Location Same with the Juvenile image though it offset the content box and any higher conflicted with the taxobox image. I don't feel like doing it now but the desert cottontail article could use more citations as well as organization, if another section was added with contents before or after eating mechanics you could probably stick the juvenile back into the article. I felt the images were too important (as well as cute) to remove completely which is why I also opted for the gallery. ItsWolfeh (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

OK.....here's my opinion: Whenever a major change is to take place in an article, the proposed change should be presented to the articles talk page for a consensus by all involved. After 30 days, if there were no objections to the major change, the editor can post the fact that he waited for objections and didn't get any......and then make the change. Or, if a conversation or objection does come up, it must be worked out. Photos in an article are as just as important as the text. Those articles have a small viewing audience; however, if you were to check the photo stats in commons, then click English views on those silly rabbit pictures, you would be amazed at the views they received. The group photo of the 15 rabbits is the most popular rabbit photo on wiki. That's because most of the views on those pages can be tracked to schools with children viewing them. In the gallery, it looks like a clipped postage stamp. Also, the photo of the rabbit eating the carrot belongs opposite "Eating Mechanics", a section by the way that I wrote. I've been feeding an average of about 50 wild cottontails twice a day on my Ranch in the Mojave for the past 13 years. I splint their legs when they break, I patch their wounds when they get ambushed by a predator, and manage to escape. I have animal clinics and the humane society calling me for information on these animals. That's why I didn't cite some of the text. I live it every day. Please don't edit just for editing's sake in the future. Pocketthis (talk) 04:37, 21 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Lists of fauna of Oregon

edit
 

The article Lists of fauna of Oregon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not much of a list, no reason to believe that anyone will improve it any time soon, no encyclopaedic value, no references.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 15:21, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I may have saved it, we'll see what others think of my changes. I hope you're okay with them.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:59, 20 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I created it and then life came up and I couldn't finish it or add more to it. I've been planning to but unfortunately life has other plans. I will see if I can add more here in a moment as well.ItsWolfeh (talk) 06:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome. Some people here are rather quick to prod/propose-deletion. Anyway you look to have improved it further, glad I could help.--T. Anthony (talk) 10:31, 20 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Silver Fox rabbit, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Silver Fox (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
