Thanks!

Thank you for taking an interest in Predator-prey reversal. When I saw the article I had no idea the term existed, but it quickly became clear that there was an abundant literature (har, har). Your work to edit and improve the article is appreciated. It's nice to see a new topic being fleshed out so quickly. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:12, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

It's really nice that you appreciated what I did to the article. It can be really rewarding to polish up a promising article. I also did not know this term existed, so I learned quite a lot! Invertzoo (talk) 19:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your thanks! I wish I could get a picture of Bathymodiolus tangaroa though... FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

You can always try writing to one or more of the authors of the published papers on this species, asking if there is an image available that is not copyrighted. You may not get anywhere with the request, but you can try, if you can be bothered. Invertzoo (talk) 16:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Or if perhaps there is a shell on display in a museum somewhere, you could take a picture of it yourself. Invertzoo (talk) 16:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Those are two good ideas I could try! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I hope you manage to get somewhere with that. Let me know if anything comes through. Invertzoo (talk) 23:17, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Look what I got! It took some convincing, but I ended up arranging for an attribution license and not paying for it. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 00:27, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Wow! I am very impressed! Thanks for the hard work it took to get that image! Invertzoo (talk) 18:04, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Assistance or advice on page

Hi Invertzoo Thank you for your comments on the Britannia Beach page. I appreciate your comments and suggestions and have done my best to make the edits and corrections to the page. The images have disappeared and though I addressed issues of ownership in wikimedia commons with emails and information from the image owners, indeed, the images were put online at the owners request, they have still be removed and I can only assume it is due to copyright issues. Can you assist with this? Wikimedia commons allows for upload of pictures that are not your own creation but then how to prove permission and copyright?

Thanks. Evolve Multimedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolve Multimedia (talk • contribs) 21:26, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

DYK Medal

		The 25 DYK Medal for Invertzoo
		Congratulations! You surely deserve this one. Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating/expanding 25+ articles for DYK. I see you are around fifty now! On your way to silver! Well done, Invertzoo! ----Daniel Cavallari (talk) 22:43, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

How sweet of you Daniel to think of doing this! I was pretty active with DYKs for a while, often working with someone else who has since retired from Wikipedia. I haven't submitted one for a very long time. Today I met with someone from WikiEd. I talked to him about a few things we really need in the Gastropods Project.
