Fruit flies

Hi, I'm not taking a position on the actual inclusion of the pictures in the article, but could you please tag the extra images you aren't using for deletion. If you would like an image to be deleted edit the image description page and add the tag {{db-author}}. Here is a log of your uploads. Thanks. Oh also, WP:BJAODN has noticed your images :) - cohesion 16:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry that you or others think this is a bad joke or nonsense. It is a graphic to illustrate the observed speciation in the lab. If you think it is funny, you should argue with Diane Dodd, the scientist who observed this behavior. She was published in a peer reviewed journal. Meanwhile, I think it helps explain the article. Thanks for the tip on the db-author--most appreciated. GraphicArtist1 18:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I do actually think it's funny, but am aware that it is explaining an actual experiment. Personally I wouldn't mind it staying on the article, but others might disagree :) - cohesion 20:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see your a biologist. I thought biologists might like the image. I changed it to make it more anatomically correct. Let me know what you think. GraphicArtist1 01:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As they say in the movies, "oh be-have". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive). Maybe you should check out Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense.

Okay, you made it to BJAODN — congratulations. Now, that's enough, thank you. Please stop messing with the article or I will have to block you, if only for a while to let you cool off. You might also want to see if your contributions are more welcome at Uncyclopedia than here. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 02:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're assuming bad faith. Please don't. The graphic is find for an encyclopedia. GraphicArtist1 02:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-:::::Please show me where I vandalized?  I was just reading up and about to request an advocate to help me via the Wikipedia:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/January 2007/USERNAME mechanism.  I moved it to the discussion page and did not revert on the article, and did not revert.  Now I cannot even get an advocate.  It was a good drawing.  Please unblock me so that I can get an advocate.  This kind of behavior, banning me when I am trying to help the article's readability, is not good.  [[User:GraphicArtist1|GraphicArtist1]] 02:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
-== unblock please ==
-Also, after I was blocked, my edits http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciation&diff=99236762&oldid=99235021 were reverted.  This was not vandalism.  Before I was blocked, I moved the differences of opinion regarding my graphic to here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASpeciation&diff=99236447&oldid=98837448
-{{unblock|I wanted to request an advocate to help me see why the graphic is "unencyclopediac".  [[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] states on his or her page that I can reverse regardless of wikipedia policy.  Unfortunately, this does not work once you've been blocked.  In any event, I was making copy edits to the speciation article, and added a useful graphic.  I don't think it was vandalism.  I was fighting vandalism, and after 3 different users reverted me, I moved my discussion to the [[Talk:Speciation|speciation talk]] page.  While nobody is perfect, I think Ilmari Karonen missed the good work I was attempting to do, and just viewed the graphic I designed as vandalism.  I just noticed that after I was blocked, he reverted one of my copy edits (which I planned to continue).  See links immediately above, which for some reason cannot be included in this unblock request.  }}
