Regarding the mating tarantulas

Um, which one is the male and which is the female? Just curious. KristoferM 18:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

When tarantulas mate the male has to go under the female, so he's the one on the left. Assuming you mean Image:Mating rose hair tarantulas.jpg -Dawson 20:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

StarMUD

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article StarMUD, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Re Texas butterflies

Hi Dawson,

The list of Texas butterflies you authored is almost in the same state you left it with lots of red links. Would you be interested to develop this aspect of North american fauna? Since you created the list, WikiProject Lepidoptera has been created to help editors develop articles on butterflies and moths. Regards, AshLin 13:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:HondaJet.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:HondaJet.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Lyre snakes and/or Cat-eye snakes

I see you have a US native Lyre snake, & a Cat-eye. I would like to locate someone who may have one or more for sale. I am very interested in locating these reptiles, & I keep hitting dead ends. If you can possibly help me in this effort, it would be greatly appreciated. My contact email is ( serpents.touch@gmail.com ). I look forward to hearing from you on this matter.

Thank you for your time, Steve

Most of the native species of lyre and cat-eyed snakes are protected throughout much of their range (the SE US), which is probably why you'd have a hard time finding them. I've honestly never seen them for sale, only animals taken from the wild for private collections or native species displays. -Dawson 19:00, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
