[edit] Source required?

There is a tag that this stub lacks sources - this might help: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikispecies Not sure if this is sufficient. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.8.96 (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Image Copyright

Hello, I am indeed holding the copyright for the article that I posted here before - sorry for not knowing how to indicate that. Thanks, Benedikt

Maybe i missed something here, but AFAIK by posting something to wikipedia you are releasing it under the GFDL, and cant just decide to unrelease it. The bellman 05:44, 2004 Oct 27 (UTC)

[edit] Namespace

I moved the article back to the main namespace and changed the redirects. This is in line with the rest of the articles in Category:Wikimedia projects. References to Wikispecies should stay in the main namespace unless they want to cross over to the dark side ;). ∴ here…♠ 01:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More info needed

For example to answer question what makes Wikispecies different from a biology-limited Wikipedia?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 06:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, more information and clarification is needed, but to answer your example question - Currently, Wikispecies is strictly limited to taxonomic hierarchies and the references which justify them, although interwiki links, images (only one allowed per page), and vernacular names are also included on some pages to better integrate with other Wikimedia projects. Prose and lengthy descriptive content is not included and belongs on the language-specific Wikipedias --Georgeryp 06:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

At one time, wasn't the logo for Wikispecies a bee?

That's what I wonder. Think it was around 2004 that it was the project's logo. Not sure about what happened to it. It would help if someone has a copy of that image.

You're right, here we go: [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.232.66.25 (talk) 16:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC).
