@Bob Corrigan and Hartwig Dell'mour, I am a third year student at the Polytechnic of Namibia, busy with my B- tech in Natural Resource Management. I am recently doing my work- integrated learning here at Gobabeb Research and Training Centre. I have just finished with my project on the Husab Sand Lizards, looking at their habitat preference. My results proved that most of them were actually found on sand. So the name actually make sense.

@Katja Schulz: Thank you, I will add шилийн савгадай to Dipus sagitta. There's no way to add "Dipus halli" or send people to Dipus sagitta if they search for Dipus halli, correct?

Katja Schulz commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Corvi Zeman: Thanks for adding all those Mongolian names. This is really valuable. Wilson & Reeder, the standard reference for mammals, have only one species, Dipus sagitta, for this genus. They list D. halli as a synonym.

Please excuse me if this is the wrong place for this question. I have been adding Mongolian-language common names to EOL species. A Mongolian-language source gives the scientific name of шилийн савгадай ("rock-crest jerboa") as Dipus halli (source: Sowerby 1920). Dipus halli does not seem to be in EOL. I found a "Dipus sagitta halli" in some other online sources, but it is also not listed in EOL. Am I overlooking something?

@Yan Wong: The Wikimedia import sometimes fails in mysterious ways. It could be that {{PD-self}} is not on our license whitelist. I'll file a ticket to check for this.

Yan Wong commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
I can't quite see why this image: from the commons gallery http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trichechus_inunguis isn't being harvested (the other two pictures in the gallery have been). It seems to be tagged with {{PD-self}}, which should be enough, I would have thought

Good job on the Magnificant Bryozoan, Dana! And a reminder to others on this list to consider tackling some of the other "Help needed" pages. Don't forget to remove when you are done.

Check out the request for overview for Hydnora africana. It also occurs to me this would make a good species of the day and Facebook post.

@Yan Wong: Let's have that discussion on http://eol.org/forums . . . we can get as geeky as we want, there. I'm game, we just need input from our developers.

@Katja Schulz: (also cc Cyndy). Re: Flickr images taking precedence over their equivalent "trusted" versions from iNat, I've been having a look at the source code in eol_php_code / lib / ArchiveDataIngester.php and have some ideas about how to correct this. It's all a bit geeky though! Who should I contact, or do I just fork my own version of the code and try to get the changes reviewed by someone?

@Bob Corrigan: Agreed. There are a few things which came together to create this perfect storm (mapping names without authors may have been part of the problem).
I only spotted this because I was browsing molluscs in BioNames and was suddenly confronted by a moth. Great argument for the desirability of interfaces that make it easy to check data. -

@Marie Studer: Thanks, Marie! I've been to the EOL's BioBlitz pages, but I still have a couple of questions about how the EOL and iNat are integrated. I think I'll send you an email! Thanks!
