    @Tim DiChiara, PhD: Here's a possibility -- where the image is missing it may be that there's a better page for you to include. For example, I thought Pacific Geoduck should have an image. I found out by reading the page that many people (including some of our providers) confuse Panopea generosa with P. abrupta, which is extinct. So you'll want to swap that out in your collection.

    Wow, EOL has photos of almost everything in your collection! Would be great to fill in the gaps. I'll go looking in Flickr to see if we can invite some of the missing ones.

    @Roderic Page: Sounds like a good suggestion for the API improvement thread here: http://eol.org/forums/2 (for anybody else who happens to notice, we're testing a forum behind the scenes but would be happy to give you access, just ask)

    Cyndy Parr commented on "EOL API Discussion Group":

    @Yan Wong: Searching for Acanthodactylus bedriagae on the site finds this page: http://eol.org/pages/1057290/ . I tried the API call http://eol.org/api/search/1.0.json?q=Acanthodactylus+bedriagai and it seems to return the same thing. If there was a hiccup in the index it seems to have resolved itself.

    Seems likely that this name has been misspelled and should be G. bonplandi.

    Is G. bomplandi here a misspelling of G. bonplandi?

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Groeberia":

    Much better but still a little confusing. Looks like references both in the text box and the references box. Also, the subject seems to be "Behavior" but several aspects of biology are covered. Perhaps change subject to "Brief summary"?

    @robert crowser: Looks like you'll need to add HTML to get the link to work. Glad to know the zoo is in Kansas! We should have a map of zoos. Do you know if one exists?

    Cyndy Parr commented on "SZ zoo animals":

    Hi, just noticed you are making a collection of Sunset Zoo animals. I am going to add this to my collection of zoo collections (http://eol.org/collections/48781) . I invite you to look for the "edit this collection" button and add a description and web links to your zoo. Might help with traffic -- here's an example of one way to do that: http://eol.org/collections/48757 . Welcome to EOL!

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Olingo":

    @Olingo: Thanks for understanding! Best approach may be for you to copy the text into a very basic text editor in order to remove the formatting before you bring it onto EOL. On a Mac, that would probably be TextEdit, on a PC that would probably be Notepad. If you have anatomical detail, don't put that in the Brief Summary, I suggest you put it in Morphology. Take your time!

    Cyndy Parr commented on an older version of Groeberia:

    Something strange happened with the formatting and this is garbled. Also there is far too much information here for a single article -- probably should be broken up into different chapters. Would love to work with Olingo to straighten out the problems and get this valuable information on EOL.

    Just saw you were on EOL recently. Where are you studying wildlife biology? I like your YouTube videos!
