Musician entomologists

Would Georg Friedrich Treitschke be the man who worked with Ferdinand Ochsenheimer. I have gone ahead and marked him as a lepidopterist from whatever I could find on the net, but precious little available there. The monsoon ends soon, time to go out and see the rich life in the forests... cheers Shyamal 02:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Musician, actor, lepidopterist. What a wonderful combination. Good to see you back ! Shyamal 08:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moving images

The only easy way to copy images from one wikipedia to the commons is to manually copy it from the German wikipedia to Hard-disk and hard-disk to commons and retain the permission statement as given. This is would be be fine in all cases except those marked as copyrighted fair-use images. Let me know the image in question and I could try to help as well.

Entry may be worth adding. Have been reading some biographical notes on Willi Hennig as well as Ernst Mayr and hope to add a few bits on them soon. Shyamal 08:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Get Well soon!

Hi Notafly,

I read on Shyamal's talk page that you had broken an arm. On behalf of all Wikipedians working on Indian butterflies, and who have benefited from your valued contributions, I wish you a speedy and uneventful recovery. Dont bother to reply this post; rest your arm and hope to see you around sooner rather than later. Notabutterfly a.k.a. AshLin 15:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert, Wishing you a speedy recovery likewise. Shyamal 11:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meigen

Dear Robert, the book has descriptions in Latin and German (Gothic), so the OCR program (which converts images of text to editable text) runs into trouble. The link you gave works fine - but it may not be accessible in certain places where the security settings disallow it. Shyamal 09:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Links to NHM

You have just added links to this in several articles about entomologists. I fail to see the relevance of that link to the articles. This looks to me like spam, and I usually just revert such questionable links and move on. I suggest that you adjust the links to point to a page in the database that makes clear the connection to each entomologist. -- Donald Albury 21:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to hear about the monograph on Irish Ichneumonidae. Let me know when you decide on that India trip. Interestingly User:Jimfbleak just created an article on John Kinnis MD while working on the Blackbird article and it turns out he was a good friend of Robert Templeton!

Speedy deletion of Johann Philipp Breyne

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Simon Wilkin and John Burrel

Hi, Notafly! Thanks for the message. Unfortunately, being Norfolk rather than Suffolk, places these two gents beyond the scope of most of my ready-to-hand crib sources, and I don't recognise either of them as having been involved in Ipswich Museum affairs, which is where I might have known them from. Are they in Kirby's biography (which I haven't got)? At present the best I can do is put them on a mental list of folk to watch out for and then react when they pop up.... Sorry I can't do much better, but if I can think of whom to ask I will send an inquiry over to Norwich Mus. Best wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 17:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brauer

Does not look like we have the limnologist-entomologist-zoologist August Bernhard Brauer - not as famous as the dipterist Friedrich Moritz Brauer. Fair number of his works scanned on the Biodiversity Heritage Library - http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/creator/1320 and http://www.archive.org/details/diessswasserfa05brau . Bumped into him as I was researching this beautiful image of a Dobsonfly - http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=41248 - never seen one taken from India. All the butterflies this far uploaded with old descriptions where possible. Shyamal (talk) 04:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
