WikiProject Gastropods Barnstar edit

  A piece of Jimbo's star
For the hard work that Edwbaker has put into helping make WikiProject Gastropods as great as it is, I award you a nice-sized chunk of the barnstar that Jimbo gave us on July 25 2009. This piece has a diamond in it! Invertzoo (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Science lovers wanted! edit

Science lovers wanted!
 
Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 18:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Seeking a source edit

Hello Ed! I was referred to you as I'm seeking a copy of a hard to find journal article, and you may be able to help. I'm working to improve the article Ralph Vary Chamberlin to GA or FA status, and the periodical below, apparently held by the Natural History Museum, London, may have valuable secondary information. If you're able to find and scan it, and email me a copy, I would be much obliged (ditto for any other sources you might know that present aspects of Chamberlin's work in context). All the best, --Animalparty-- (talk) 23:16, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • "Beruehmte Arachnologen: Ralph Vary Chamberlin, 1879-1967. [Famous arachnologists: Ralph Vary Chamberlin, 1879-1967]". Arachnologisches Magazin (in German). 9 (5): 11–12. 2001. ISSN 0944-8667. {{cite journal}}: Cite uses deprecated parameter |authors= (help)
It looks like there is only a single issue, 7(4), but I have asked for a clarification. Edwbaker (talk) 12:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sadly the library does not have the issue you are after. Edwbaker (talk) 15:10, 9 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate you checking. I might have a lead with some folks at German Wikipedia. Cheers, --Animalparty-- (talk) 17:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
