Image

An image of yours is considered for deletion because the copyright information is insufficient. Please react at wikispecies:Images for deletion. It is possible that the image is not yet listed there; see Category:Wikispecies:Images noinfo or one of the other subcategories of Category:Images instead in that case.

Vandal

Hi Lycaon. A smart guy was vandalizing wikispecies earlier today, he is active with adding porn to pages on other wiki's as well. He uploaded an image called Image:Wikionary-logo-en.png, which I deleted. But maybe he first had overwritten this? I can't see it in the logs, but can you tell if this picture (the original one) needs to be present? Thx --Kempm 08:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC) Dat sjabloon, copyrightedfreeuse, hebben we hier (nog) niet. Eigenlijk zou ik het uploaden hier helemaal willen verbieden: Commons is daarvoor veel beter. Daarmee voorkom je eindeloos gezeur over afbeeldingen op een later tijdstip, zoals we net op nl.wikipedia hebben gehad. Ucucha 13:11, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Tribi/Tribus

Hoi, ik zag dat je in een artikel over een plantengroep tribi schreef. Dat is incorrect Latijn (je moet het maar weten); het juiste meervoud is "tribus" (de groep van manus, domus, etc.). Zie de:Tribus (Rom). Ucucha (talk) 14:43, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

tja, die vierde verbuiging, 't is lang geleden :-). Bedankt voor de tip. Lycaon 16:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Tribus tribus tribui tribum tribu tribus tribuum tribibus tribus tribibus ;-). Graag gedaan. Ucucha (talk) 17:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Chironomidae Taxobox, Image

Hi Lycaon,

it's a great pitty that taxoboxes are not allowed. Because they are prettier and more practical. They need not so much place ;-). But that's community. It's OK --A.Plank 16:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

B.T.W., -> picture ; I've contaced today on website http://www.usask.ca/ for using it when source is given like Template:SejmCopyright. The picture is from http://www.usask.ca/biology/skabugs/flies/chiron.html. But untill now I didn't get answer yet. I hope for positive answer. --A.Plank 16:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Nieuw voorstel

Hoi, ik heb mijn oude voorstel voor het uiterlijk van Wikispecies-pagina's wat veranderd: zie Wikispecies#Village Pump#Revised proposal. Zie ook User:Ucucha/Taxonavigation in het bijzonder.

Zou je overigens admin/moderator willen worden? Je deed dacht ik ooit iets aan vandalismebestrijding, en ik denk dat je wel een goede moderator zal zijn. Ucucha (talk) 18:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Heb een voorlopige mening over taxonavigation achtergelaten op User:Ucucha/Taxonavigation. En wat je andere voorstel betreft: dat lijkt mij inderdaad wel interessant, maar ik wacht liever nog een maandje om me op die manier te engageren. Ik ben namelijk drie van de komende vier weken op zee (biologische monitoring).Lycaon 21:50, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Dan lijkt het me inderdaad niet handig nee. Wat ga je bekijken? Polychaeta? Bedankt voor je mening; ik zal zo kijken. Ucucha (talk) 03:48, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

blanking pages

If you wish to have a page deleted, please tag it with {{Delete}} instead of just blanking it. This way it will show up on the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion page and they can all be wiped away quickly. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 12:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Insecta formating

Hi. In answer to your message, I was planing to update the taxonomic navigation for all the pages in the Insecta, it's just a question of times. They are a lot of pages, and I don't have so much time to spend on this site right now. For the italic font in the Acrida page ; it isn't me who have entered this species, I've just formated the taxonomic navigation. But if I see such thing in an other page, I'll do this correction.

Zeehonden

Please make a redirect when you think a subgenus is no longer valid, instead of just deleting it. In any case, Pusa and Pagophilus are probably valid; see for example McKenna & Bell (1997) and Rice (1998). Ucucha (talk) 08:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Axiidae problem...

I'm not sure if I write to the good person for such problems, but I think that you'll can answer me. I'm quit confused with this family name... that look like this name was give to two different families ; one in the Decapoda, and one in the Lepidoptera (in the superfamily Drepanoidea). As well as I know, it's not supposed to be so. And that look like the informations are good for the two orders. I've tried to see if the name was changed in a taxon or the other, but I can't find anything about that. So, what I'm supposed to do if I want to create the page Axiidae in the Lepidoptera? since the page in the Decapoda is already created...

Answer

Thanks for your fast answer; I'll do like you said. And sorry for the signature, I just didn't think to that; I'm habituated that my message are automatically signed. But I'll finish by know all the technicality of this webpage. Trépas 17:27, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Je kan nu ook eenvoudiger dingen terugdraaien: als je naar de "diff" gaat (die zie je op je volglijst, op recente wijzigingen, e.d.) krijg je een leuk "[rollback]" knopje bovenaan. Daarmee kan je makkelijker terugdraaien. Ucucha (talk) 18:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

taxonomic comments

I actually regard taxonomic comments as something relevant to the article and not something that should be relegated to the talk. See any of the primates articles for an example. These comments were taken from Mammal Species of the World, 3rd ed. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I guess I agree in most cases, but here they were a bit—how shall I put it—'difficult' to read, and I wanted to have Trépas have his say before it came on the article-page (I'm not a specialist in up-to-date Hexapoda systematics).
And, btw, thanks for helping cleaning up after this morning's attack. What a mess that was. Lycaon 15:27, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Ah. Ok. *grins* Yes, it helps to have someone in the know or connected to well written material to make some judgement calls. Today's attack was pretty bad.... but it's been quiet for quite some time. I thought he'd finaly gotten bored or that juvenile nonsense. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:26, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Diplura and Protura

I'm not very inquired into the systematic of these two classes: it's probably the 2 Hexapoda taxons that I least know. The most recent book that I have, show them as a class and an order, but they are very vague about this. I have to go see my entomology professor at university next week; I'll ask him what he think about that, and if he know a recent source about the systematic of the Diplura and Protura. I'll add a commentary after that. Trépas 23:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

double checking

I used to check every edit, or at least as many as I could. My real life work got turned on and so I haven't had as much thumb-twiddling time to do double checks. I happened to see you slip, so I fixed it. At least you know you haven't made *that* mistake before. ;) - UtherSRG [[User_talk:UtherSRG|(talk)]] 19:09, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Ha Ha Ha ... no no man , i will just try to translate the main pages : kingdoms , Phylum , .. , not all species . it is just for making the Taxonomy clear in Arabic Wikipedia . nice to meet you --Chaos 12:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

yep that is right , but that could be corrected simply by adding one line on the top of Page , i will Add it later . --Chaos 12:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Genus - Genera ??

Wann schreibe ich Genus und wann Genera? Bei einigen steht Genus auch wenn mehrere Arten (Spezies) vorhanden sind und bei anderen Genera. Für mich ist eigendlich Genus Einzahl und Genera Mehrzahl.

When write Genus and when Genera. Lot of Artikel write Genera when are lots of Species and in another Artikel Genus when too lots of Species. For me is Genus for one and Genera for many. Gruß--Viki 21:41, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

z.B., for exemple: Genus: Ceratogyrus, Avicularia

Genera: Harpactirinae, Eumenophorinae

--Viki 21:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Move request

I see you created (Crinoidea) Articulata. Seeing as how this is the only (non-redirect, main space) page that starts with a parenthesis, it should probably be moved to Articulata (Crinoidea) and then Articulata moved to Articulata (Cyclostomata). Or whatever. - dcljr 00:02, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I did not notice any common practice againts voting for my own picture. In fact i did try to vote as i would do for any other picture... I do not feel incorrect.

For the fun part did you notice the "oppose" of Mike... like a response to my own oppose against Image:San Juan fountain zumaia.jpg ?

Thanks for your comment Tatoute

For Chinese project

Now the Chinese users are proposing a way to construct a Chinese wikispecies (perhaps can be also compatible for Japanese and so on). Please at the moment keep these redirect and don't remove them, as we still need some discussions. And at a proper time, we will discuss to choose some Chinese users to apply for managers.--Polyhedron 09:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Speed

Yes, I have an Excel spreadsheet with a macro which generates a text file. This alternates navigation commands:

http://species.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Acridotheres_cristatellus&action=edit

with the data which I want to paste to that page (this being quicker than using wiki navigation given frequently slow response times). Once I've remembered the italics and the nbsp's I can upload pages as fast as wiki will go. It's rather specific to birds though, as it is merging subspecies data from Avibase with citation data from Zoonomen. You might do better starting from scratch rather than trying to hack my code - how are you on Visual Basic?--Keith Edkins 07:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I've uploaded the spreadsheet here [1] - there are some vaguely explanatory comments in the Macro. ctrl-q runs the macro (WARNING do not accept macros from strangers!) The output location is hard-coded and would need changing before running.--Keith Edkins 22:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Formatting

Hi Lycaon,

Thanks for those tips, and also for cleaning up some of my entries. I noted the use of small caps and bold, too. I'd been using the wrong pages as templates, and will follow the layout used on the Lonchophylla orcesi page in future.

In a species entry, should the basionym go in the Taxonomic information section before the type locality?

Regards, DavidCooke 02:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Pequeños errores

Espero ir poco a poco cometiendo menos errores, gracias por tu ayuda. Lamento no poder escribir en inglés.

• Alberto Salguero 20:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

!!! Gracias ¡¡¡

Está fantástico.

• Alberto Salguero 20:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Scytalopus

Not just that, the whole Furnariidae, Dendrocolaptidae, Formicariidae and Rhinocryptidae - in effect I missed out the superfamily level. I'll fix it when I've finished the Thamnophilidae - the Passeriformes will then be complete! What next?--Keith Edkins 20:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I bet nematodes have really fun vernacular names! I think I'll stick to birds, maybe pigeons, for the moment.--Keith Edkins 20:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Mucho trabajo

Si, es mejor lo que tú has hecho. Asi comprobaré uno por uno todos los géneros. Perdona no escribir en inglés. Gracias por corregir mis errores, poco a poco seré mejor. ;-).

Obsolete taxa

Is deleting the best thing to do, or should they be made redirect pages in case somebody comes along who doesn't know Ajaia is now part of Platalea? I'm not convinced there is such a thing as an obsolete taxon, which some community of taxonomists doesn't still fondly cling to! Admittedly I missed that one while adding a subfamily level. I will try and do at least something sensible with them in future.--Keith Edkins 13:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Will check the orpaned pages. Some of them look like my finger trouble. There may not be many birds left to do - User:Open2universe/Aves_to_do doesn't seem to fully reflect the status in some areas...--Keith Edkins 15:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Could you block 130.179.29.152 ?

Hi there, 130.179.29.152 seems to be editing a large number of articles and replacing them with just e. Thanks,Open2universe 21:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Wrong category

Hiya Lycaon. Can you delet this page? I was working in the pt babel, and I create this page in a mistake. Regards, --Slade 16:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. --Slade 16:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Lycaon

Thank you for your kind welcome!!! I've realized I messed up with the [nl:], making it [ne:]. You've corrected a few and I believe I've corrected the others. Sorry! There is one question I would like to make you. I have seen than in your userpage you have got your babel userboxes. I am apart of native in English, also in Spanish, but I cannot make the Spanish native box work, only the basic spanish, just like you. I am not that fond of userboxes, but I prefer an image than words, at least to describe myself a bit. Once again, thanks for your welcome, and hope you have a nice day.

Extinct groups

You may be right, but the way I was automatically generating the pages it would have been too much of a programming task to do it that way :-( Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 17:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Excuse my ignorance, but...

Excuse my ingnorance bt what is the function of:   ??? --Francisco Valverde 23:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It's to let a space appear on the page, but at the same time forcing it not to break at the end of a line. It's ugly to have for example H. on one line and sapiens on the following. (I'm answering for Lycaon since he is away at the moment) Ucucha (talk) 17:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Generos y familias

I have checked that some genera are complicated to find, especially for the novice, among all those subgenus, tribes, subtribes, sections and series, so I would suggest to put all the genera the family has in the family page before splitting them.

Hey sorry about that. Iam new and just trying to learn my way around. Can you check out my new stuff done in the Basidiomycota class and tell me if that is correct? If not please dont fix it, instead tell me whats wrong so I can fix it myself and learn from it. Thanks :D --Ordos 01:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Adding species only

I don't have enough time to do it. I have specialized myself to add species only. I would appreciate your help to list all the species under their related genus. Can you please list those species under their genus? I could not use the excel spreadsheet. I suppose you may do it easier. --Alperen 12:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think I'm going to use templates for every species that I add. That way, you can adapt all the species easier, as you know when you change something in the template it will show in all the species. Would it be better for you? --Alperen 19:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I have problems with your taxa spreadsheet. I couldn't use it anyway. The main page is protected and moreover I can not get the desired result from the other templates. I mean I insert the taxa accordingly but the result is "nothing!". Is there any eaiser way to use it or any detailed explanation? Thanks. --Alperen 19:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

You're deleting my work

I am trying to write an explaination to the links in the article Neognathae#EXPLAINATION but you keep deleting it. I don't mean to be rude, but do you have a good reason for deleting it? 70.72.189.241 16:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining that to me Lycaon. So I should probably link to some Wikipedia articles instead. (By the way, I'm signed on now.) Jonathan W 20:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

What about virus section?

Thanks for the polishing of my contributions (still in the learning phase here). BTW: would be cool to see Virus in a better condition - the long list should be split up into various pages for better navigation and editing... Any ideas? Bumbulski 16:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC).

It would be cool to have a program doing the reformatting of [List of Viruses]. I had seem some bot programmers here, looks promising :-)

... and right, syntax on Wikispecies must be rigid! no other way...

BTW: Is your out time reverted or do you mean 2007 or May? Best Bumbulski 19:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC).

Psoroptidia

According to the article's history, you created the Suborder Psoroptidia article last December. I'm trying to find the family Pyroglyphidae, (the family dust mites belong to) but I'm totally lost and can't figuere out in what superfamily to put it. If you got the information for that article from a webpage, would you mind giving it's name to me? Jonathan W 15:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Deleted Description Sections of Araneae...

Howdy Lycaon,

Why did you remove the description sections of Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae? If you had a good reason, I would like to know. In addition, if the description sections of Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae had to go then why is the description section of Mesothelae still there? - Totipotent 00:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed that my description of Araneomorphae was deleted and the description of Mygalomorphae was just moved to its discussion page. Please explain this: Mesothelae has a description section on the main page, Mygalomorphae has a description section on its discussion page, and Araneomorphae description section is deleted entirely... - Totipotent 02:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Under species

Peux-tu me dire si je peux rentrer des formes et des variétés (ex. : Helcion (Patinastra) dunkeri f. formosa), s'il te plaît ? - Thorgal 08:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

question

Why do you remove explanations from Wikispecies pages? Is your goal to make Wikispecies of no use to anyone but experts? --JWSchmidt 04:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope, on the contrary, we want wikispecies to be useful for everyone, regardless of their language. As such English prose is as much as possible avoided and left to en:wikipedia. Likewise for other languages. Via interwikis, links are laid to all different language wikipedias. I personally advocate a split up in Interwikis and Vernacular name, btw. Sorry for the somewhat late reply. — Lycaon 16:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Link Fixage

Hi Lycaon, please fix the link on the overview page for Curcuma sp. The link of C. ochrorhiza is directing to C. ochorhiza, but correct sp. name is C. ochrorhiza. The same for C. sparganifolia. Correct name is C. sparganifolia. not C. sparganiifolia. The pages for the (correct) individual species are already there. Thanks in advance--Steven69 10:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC).

Chinese characters

Hi Lycaon, thanks for fixing the links. Another question: Is there the possibility, (when yes, how?) to display chinese script characters in the species description. This would be needed for displaying exact spelling and meaning of chinese characters in transliterations and would help for characterisations and identifications. Thanks for answer in advance--Steven69 16:18, 5 July 2006 (CST).

First of all, a small note: please do not alter the entries on this page and add new content at the bottom. That said, for chinese (or other 'symbolic' characters, the easiest way—I think—is to copy and paste them from a chinese website or the chinese wikipedia. It works fine for interwiki-links. Success — Lycaon 16:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Deleting Locality Data info On Species Descriptions

Hi, was wondering why you deleted the locality and distributions data on the species of turtles I added namely Chelodina canni and Elseya albagula. I would have thought this info added to the accuracy of the article and I know its accurate to the descriptions as I actually described both species. Faendalimas 11:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. May I refer you to Current_events#How a taxon page content should be structured? The info you added is evidently valuable, but should be added to the relevant articles in en:wikipedia (and subsequently translated to other languages). As we want to keep wikispecies as international as possible, we try to avoid English prose as much as possible. -- Lycaon 09:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of pictures

Hi Lycaon. Some of the pictures I uploaded a few days ago have been deleted. When I first began to upload images, I didn't know the rules of the copyright, and I have no objection to do to that deletion.

But, some other images have been obtained from a place where the distribution is universal and free, as for the babyrousa image.

revert

you rejected my contributions: 1) are you sure Osteichthyes are Tetrapods? 2) I corrected the misspelling "Gnathostmata" 3) for Gnathostomata, I experimented a presentation (order) of the last level (classes or superclasses) which gives an slight indication on phylogenetic relationships following what is done in the corresponding article of Wikipedia. I found this presentation more informative than the alphabetic list of classes without any distinction between fish and tetrapods. There is clearly a lack of subdivision between gnathostomata & amniotes.PA 20:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. May I have your opinion about my suggestions.

Thanks for working on some of the CommonsTicker suggestions. I was only dealing with images that were actually deleted. Sometimes images are marked for deletion and then unmarked. I had been physically striking out a section when I was done, but that was silly because the style sheet lets one do it by setting the status. If you set a status = done then it will strike through the whole entry. I may add some other statuses as they have done at en:wikinews. I have also been archiving it on a monthly basis. Thanks again.

How to deal with new species names

There's already some discussion on how to deal with species that have gotten a new name, or even have been moved into a new familia, in the [Village_Pump]. But what exactly is the standard we are going to use on Wikispecies?

My own idea for now was to mention all species and to redirect outdated species, to the ones that are considered to be the standard since the publication of some source. On the standard species name page, one can then mention the outdated synonym(s).
Ofcourse this would give outdated entries, but, in my view, they are necessary, since older literature is still using the older names. If we would simply discard the older entries, then people using the older literature will miss our information.

Please some guidelines on this matter.

Would you please undelete Ampelodesmos mauritanica?

Would you please undelete Ampelodesmos mauritanica? I know it has been superseded by Ampelodesmos mauritanicus but it is still known in some places known as Ampelodesmos mauritanica so I think the redirect is appropriate. Thanks Open2universe 00:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Another species of Melilotus

Hello Lycaon. In the Melilotus's page I took the species that I knew. I did'nt knew that they are others species. Sorry. But I never said that the page Melilotus is a "finish" page.--Gretaz 18:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Dracaena

Sorry for not doing the taxonavigation properly. Most of the times, I just copy and paste from other species, changing the names for the correct ones, but this does not seem to work. I'll try to do it better next time. Nanosanchez

Problems linking

I do not know why but sometimes, some images are impossible to link. As it happens for exemple with: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:EuphorbiaPolychroma.jpg in Euphorbia epithymoides

Thanks... Nanosanchez

Subspieces but no species?

I have another question. Arthonia astroidea at some point in time has been renamed to something else, according to Fungorum [2] However, A. astroidea has 2 'children'. Genus Arthonia is a big genus and has several of species like A. astroidea. How do you deal with a case like this? Anything else besides adding an unassigned link, which would look really ugly. Thanks again Kempm 22:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

HELP!

Could you please come to Wikiquote quick. No admins are avalbial, and I NEED someone to help mre revert a massive vandalism spree! 00:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Newly described species

Tjeck out the newly established Zoobank.org. Under alerts you can see the newest added species. Also tjeck out the journal zootaxa (www.mapress.com/zootaxa) for many new species. Isfisk 16:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Homininae

Thanks for fixing up the subfamilia Homininae. I realized after adding the tribes Hominini and Gorillini that the Genus Pierolapithecus didn't have a spot in them, so I just guessed based on how some other pages looked (i.e. Mammalia). Should that issue come up in the future I'll use your edit as a guide. (or I'll just ask you first). LunceFordPrefect 18:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Kikkers

Ik ben een beetje aan de slag gegaan met de kikkers, je hebt de alternatieve naar van Rana lessonae op de OP gezet, is dat gebruikelijk? Ik heb bij wel meer kikkersoorten de nieuwe naam genoemd. Het is een serieuze bron die ik nog niet wil doorvoeren in de zin van wetenschappelijke namen hernoemen, maar wel alvast noemen en nu lijkt de nieuwe naam wat weggestopt. Ik denk dat er een grote kans is dat over een aantal jaar deze namen 'ingeburgerd' zullen zijn. Groet, B kimmel 15:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Geen engels op species?, de koppen (Taxonavigation, Vernacular Names) zijn toch ook engels? Wat de gesuggereerde namen betreft, daar was ik het lange tijd ook niet mee eens, maar had daar een interessante discussie over op de nl-wiki, en was juist aan het bijdraaien... is het niet volledig om ook de laatste inzichten te vermelden, mits de bronnen goed genoeg zijn? AMNH.org heb ik nog niet veel gebruikt maar is wel volledig en goed onderbouwd, is er geen kopje ==Suggested name==, met uitleg en bron mogelijk? B kimmel 22:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Muramura

Hoi Lycaon,

Ik zal het nog eens proberen, maar ik vrees dat het niet gaat lukken met de bot. :-(

Ik heb Dr. Gutu een mailtje gestuurd om hem op de homonymie van de twee Muramura's te wijzen. Ik neem aan dat hij een nieuwe naam in een correctie of zo zal publiceren. Ik heb hem gezegd dat hij niet alleen mij moest bedanken, maar ook jou, omdat je de auteur van Muramura Gutu had gegeven. Ucucha (talk) 12:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Acacia

Hallo Lycaon, het ziet er naar uit dat alle species in Acacia, enigszins verkeerd zijn aangemaakt, omdat er geen gebruik is gemaakt van templates. Op species niveau ontbreekt Superregnum: Eukarya en heet Divisio: Magnoliophyta ineens Phylum: Magnoliophyta. Vind je dit ernstig genoeg om de hele boel te updaten, of wil je het zo laten? Uiteraard, vind ik het niet erg om te doen. -18:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Lastig parket met die botten die niet werken. Dat zijn honderden lemma's. Van mij mag je, maar zou je niet eerst de bothistorie afwachten? Lycaon 20:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, dan wachten we daarop, en hopen dat Ucuchabot van z'n kont afkomt ;) -Kempm 20:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
