Thanks James.
Oh ok. I'll slowly go through all my spotting and add references.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Yup, that's it. Without something in the reference field, the spotting remains incomplete when researchers do a data search (or something like that!). These are great pictures!
Superb images...you could almost believe it was posing for you!
Thanks Ava T-B. I love being a part of Project Noah.
And yes they are so unappreciated but GORGEOUS!
I am afraid I don't really quite know what you mean by "To make it complete, and useful to researchers using this site for data, please edit this" edit what exactly? The reference?
I guess you want me to put a link to a Wikipage (or something else) in reference? Done! Was that all?
What a gorgeous guy! This is a lovely spotting. To make it complete, and useful to researchers using this site for data, please edit this and add a reference about this species in the reference field of your spotting. Please do this for each photo you post. Thanks for helping to make Project Noah a complete reference tool for scientists.
