Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!

Image galleries[edit]

As stated on What Wikispecies is not, please note that Wikispecies is not an image repository. Wikispecies is very different from Wikipedia in that image galleries are very sparsely used. Please remember that contrary to Wikipedia, Wikispecies is not an encyclopedia. Instead Wikispecies is an online database which only deals with taxa, the authors of taxa and their publications, and the repositories where type material of taxa are collected. Most often pictures do not add any real information in regards to the taxonomy, hence only one or perhaps two pictures per page is enough, and duplicate pictures on a page is never used. This is also true for the Homo genus page. Thank you. Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 18:36, 2 September 2016 (UTC).Reply
