@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.

@Cyndy Parr: Hi Cyndy: Yes, so far EOL has had what I've been looking for...mostly. I think EOL is great, but I was surprised that it didn't have ALL the species in the collection, considering that there's nothing much exotic or rare in there. Anyway, thanks for checking it out and let me know if you find anything... Thanks! --Tim

@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.

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.

@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

@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.

@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'.
