Yesterday I could not see the detail content. Now I can see them in good order. Yes, now I am completely satistified with the way to upload my pages and I will start to work on it continuely. Thanks for all the help at the not so easy beginning, Jen.

@Michael Wunderli: Hi, Michael- until there's a regular tool, there's a fairly easy workaround. Your list is set to harvest overnight; I should be able to turn it over to you tomorrow :)

@Meiying Lin: Hi, Meiying! Are you not seeing it? It appears for me here: http://eol.org/pages/118174/details

Jen, it is great that you think my test resource is pretty good. It works quite well to me too. But I am still quite confused about that the texts and pictures are not linked together under the latin names. For example, if you search "Linda atricornis", you can see the two pictures in both overview and median, you can see the literature I add. But where is the description text? I hope to see my text in the "detail" under each species.

@Jiri Hulcr: Hi, Jiri! 1- You need only attach your object to the name in one classification to get it onto the taxon page. 2- a widespread error? Let's try getting in touch with Natureserve about it directly. I'll bet Katja knows whom to contact...

Hola, Two humble questions for the more experienced among us: 1 - most of the species in my group (Scolytinae, bark and ambrosia beetles) are mentioned as being listed in several different classifications. When I am associating an object with a name, do I need to associate it manually with the same name in all these classifications? 2 - In the same beetle group, information in Distribution has been uniformly supplied by NatureServe. Most of it is ok, but they seem to have assigned the status "Native" to all species in Canada and the US, although about half of them are exotic. I don't want to distrust and make invisible all the distribution data. How should I correct this one mistake repeated in my many species? Thank you!

@Nathan Muchhala: Hi, Nathan! Not yet, the Scratchpad team doesn't expect to take it up for a few months; they have some core tasks to take care of first. Meanwhile, we should totally discuss this in the biotic interactions google group. Are you a member? I can send you an invite.

@ Jennifer Hammock: I'm glad to see your message about an upcoming ecological interactions module! Any updates on this?

@Bart C.: Well spotted, Bart! Noe Conservation is our first entirely french-language partner and we're working out a glitch in the tool that should have tagged their content as french. All the french butterfly articles should be appearing in their rightful language setting soon.

@Eli Sarnat: It would be ideal to parse Wikimedia content into EOL subject types -- we can't do that with Wikipedia yet because they aren't consistent enough. But really, the issue is just needing to identify good test cases and scheduling the work. We are understaffed right now and it is hard to get programmer time to work on new content import tasks.
-
Eli Sarnat commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Cyndy Parr: Thanks Cyndy. Is the issue more that scripts currently serving Wikipedia and Wikicommons content to EOL are not easily adaptable to other mediawiki sites, or rather that it is difficult to parse wikimedia content into EOL subject types?

Bart C. commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
On the taxon page for Nymphalis polychloros I see mainly articles in French if language: English, but none if language: French.

Cyndy Parr commented on "EOL Discussion Group":
@Eli Sarnat: It is on our radar, Eli, but we haven't tried it yet. The challenge with any wiki is whether it will be formatted consistently enough for a program to be written to deal with it. Mediawikis are probably more templated than other wikis so it should be possible.
