Primates[edit]

Thanks for the edits to the various Primate pages. Do you have any references to support the changes you made? - UtherSRG 11:58, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

New reply on my talk. - UtherSRG 17:45, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think the current reckoning of species by geographic regions is backwards minded, especially in this era of molecular biology. If the only thing that divides a species is geography, then it is still one species, with geographic subspecies, and smaller groupings being various populations of those species or subspecies.

(Consider humans and pretend we don't have the technological mobility to make geography meaningless. By these current elevations of orangutan subspecies up to the species level, and populations becoming subspecies, it should follow that many populations of humans should be regarded as subspecies. But that accounting is absurd! All human populations contain enough genetic data to recreate the entire human genetic spectrum. Now that is something I consider a reasonable definition of species distinction: if one population of a species can not produce the genetic spread of the entire species, the given population should be ranked as a distinct species. If the given population can produce the genetic spread, then the population should be ranked no higher than a subspecies.)

All that said - I'm not gonna buck the trend. I'm not a taxonomist or primatologist by profession, only by hobby. - UtherSRG 20:48, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in an L.A.-area Wiki meetup?[edit]

It appears as though L.A. has never had a Wiki meetup. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If so, checkout User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup.

Primates category rework[edit]

After some good discussion on the talk for WP:PRIM with User:Marskell, I've begun work on cleaning up category:Early hominids. Please come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Primates/category rework to weigh in your opinion on what direction to take. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo Wales to Attend San Diego Meetup on October 18 2005[edit]

Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\^talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Shane Vigil.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Shane Vigil.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:07, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art[edit]

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
