Underlinked?
Ok, underlinked, any suggestions? Kim van der Linde 15:17, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
That is a little vague and the wording should probably be changed. It means nothing links to this article as opposed to the more intuititive interpretation of 'this article does not have enough links'. Chris Day (talk) 15:18, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
- Ok, clear. Another question, how to get this article approved? I have pretty much written this completely, and there is not much to be added aside from some pictures from withc I do not know I can transfer them from Wikipedia or not? Kim van der Linde 15:21, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
- With respect to pictures I'd ask User:Stephen Ewen. With respect to approval, you'll need a biology editor. I am one, but I have no clue about taxonomy classification issues. I'll ask around. Once there is an editor willing to approve then the ToApprove template is activated by the editor adding their name to the metadata page (click on the orange M). You bring up a good point that there should be a way to flag articles that editors wish to see go up for approval. Are you an editor here yet? If so it would probably be OK for your to start the process. Just add your user name to the ToA Editor field in the metadata tempalte. i can help you with the other fields in that tempalte if you want to start it now.

- Judging from your publications you should be an editor. You should apply, if not one already. Chris Day (talk) 15:34, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
- I refuse to become an editor because I dislike many of the basic policies, and I am not going to be responsible in any way for them. This article is more for me to see how the system works nowadays, and to see if it has eliminated the issues I had with it before. Kim van der Linde 15:36, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
