@Yan Wong: We reharvest from Wikimedia Commons about once a week, so the change should eventually propagate to us. If it doesn't, let us know.

Yan Wong commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
Does the EoL wikipedia scraping code revise currently existing EoL content depending on changes to wikipedia? I've just found this photo: http://eol.org/data_objects/17272302 which is the result of an accidental inclusion of the wrong species into the Wikipedia image gallery for Tremarctos ornatus. I've removed it from the gallery on wikipedia, but I don't know if I need to flag it up as misidentified on EoL too, or if my changes to wikipedia will propagate down to EoL.

@Michael Wunderli: If you find a source that has information about these spiders, we can try to engage them as a content partner. They would have to be willing to release their content under a creative commons license, though. In this particular example, we could grab (i.e., copy & paste manually) the original description from BHL along with a few anatomical drawings for this species (could be uploaded through our Rapid Response LifeDesk). Unfortunately, there was no habitus drawing in the original description. For many of these species it may be difficult to get anything beyond the original description, and many may never have been illustrated fully.

I hid it because I had the impression it didn't import properly. But the article looks good now and I dont finde a better article so I make it visible again. Sorry for the confusion.

@Katja Schulz: What i meant was that for exaple here: http://eol.org/pages/1181577/details This species for example is present but has no pictures and no detail information. That was the case with most species I found on that website. Is there something we can do about that?

@Michael Wunderli: All the Haploclastus species are here: http://eol.org/pages/111544/overview Or is that not what you meant?

Michael Wunderli commented on "EOL Curators":
Check out this website, non of the species shown there are present in the eol data. http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/Haploclastus.html

@Michael Wunderli: As far as I can tell the taxonomy is a bit confusing here, but can you recommend an alternative article for "ticks" for the higher-level taxon page it would be associated with? Thanks

Yan Wong commented on "EOL API Discussion Group":
@Bob Corrigan: Thanks Bob. If you are referring to the thumbnail sizes, I worked out that two of the "proportional" sizes are labelled _98_68 and _580_360. I'd still be interested to know what the 3rd available size is.

@Yan Wong: @Yan, did you get the answer you needed from anyone?

Thanks to Jennifer L. Gillett-Kaufman for introducing us to the Featured Creatures website.

@Jennifer Hammock: The obvious option here is for Flickr contributors not to add pics to the EOL Flickr Group until the photo has been identified to their satisfaction. Flickr has various ID groups where unidentified organisms can be posted for identification; pics of uncertain ID could be added to those, and then added to the EOL Group later once identified.

Jennifer Hammock commented on "EOL Curators":
@Jason Sharp: So, Jason, supposing we create a new Admin tool and EOL admin set you as a Tructed Flickr Contributor, so by default your photos came to the platform pre-Trusted. You wouldn't need to visit them all to flip them to Trusted, BUT, if you post a flickr image or two that you would like to share with us, but you're not sure of the ID, those would come to us Trusted, like the others. It might then in a sense "be your responsibility" to visit those images and curate them to Unreviewed. I imagine that for some people this would be a lot less curation work. On the other hand, maybe it's too complicated/confusing?

@Jennifer Hammock: I am a little confused on this 'follow up'.

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