You really deserve it! You have created such informative and interesting articles that are appropriate to an encyclopedia, not like this kind of article. A true Wikipedian! — Navy  Blue  formerly iDosh 19:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In some kind of mixup, BorgQueen also credited me with this DYK. I've removed it from my talk page and left a message for her. --Geronimo20 (talk) 22:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey no problem, you certainly did do some work on it, and I really never mind sharing credit, but thanks anyway for correcting that. Invertzoo (talk) 23:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I award this Barnstar to Invertzoo for her elegant work on so many mollusk articles, and for her special ability to write with clarity for non-specialists, as nearly all Wikipedia science articles should be written, without compromising accuracy and without patronising.

Historical money of Tibet

Hi Invertzoo,
Thank you for your cleanup at History of money of Tibet. It looks very much better now. I've put direct references in the text, so it will not be a struggle for people who'd like to know what source did the statement. Good luck, Davin (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Davin, Thanks so much for weighing in on the article. I only ran into it because a 'bot (User:AlexNewArtBot/Gastropods) mistakenly listed it as a gastropod article (!), on account of the fact that it mentions cowries. I did what I could to make it better. I know a little bit about Tibet, fortunately for me, but nothing at all about this particular topic. Therefore what I could do was only very limited, mostly just cosmetic. If you have not already done so, please make sure I did not do any damage to the meaning during my clean-up efforts. I also wrote an intro, because the article didn't really have one, but again I don't know if I did it justice, I was just winging it. All good wishes and happy holidays, Invertzoo (talk) 21:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll read it through and try to add/correct what I can from what I know from a Tibetan point of view. I hope someone will go into your request of the Numismatics project, since I guess it may lift up the content of the article.
I changed the title to Historical money of Tibet, since I feel the article describes more than only history and - as I hope - it will invite others to enlarge the article when they know more about it.
Other thing: you just told that you have knowledge of Tibet. I noticed you have found the talk page yet of the new Portal:Tibet. I just created it about a week ago. Now there are to good fellows here on Wikipedia doing a tremendous amount of work on the subject and I wish they can continue doing so without having to bother about other important things on Wikipedia, like the content of the portal. Me myself I'm working 99% of my time on nl.wikipedia, as well on filling the gaps of the Dutch portal of Tibet. Would you by means have the time - possibly with (wiki)collegues - to sort out the whole category:Tibet (and subcategories) to fill in the section of 'topics' in a neat arrangement of the matters? It would do the portal so good, but I got lost in the category and left it like this, hoping someone would have the patience to pick it up. I don't know how much time you spend on Wikipedia and if this is something in the sphere of your kind of preferred things to do? On technical matters of the portal (columns, colors, etc.) I will help you where I can (nl:talk:Davin for quick responses, 'cause I'm not on en.wikipedia on a daily basis). I would yet be pleased by the fact if you would look into it and take a moment to consider it, no matter what your reply is. Sincerely, Davin (talk) 10:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Davin, I spend almost all my time on the English Wikipedia working on the Mollusca, in particular the Gastropoda. In reality I only know a very tiny little bit about Tibet, and mostly only from the religious angle. I took a look just now at the Tibet categories and subcategories as you suggested, and my first impression is that in fact I don't know enough to be able to sort them and organize them. I also have had almost no experience working with categories in general. However I will take another look in a few days and see if it strikes me any differently. All good wishes to you, User:Invertzoo Invertzoo (talk) 19:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

some changes

I made some changes in Hydrobiidae and I started Amnicolidae and Lithoglyphidae. But some articles about their genera may be still categorized in bad category. --Snek01 (talk) 22:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thx

Ashfordia

I think we should make these moves:

Oh thanks! That is why I could not find many mentions of the species when I was googling! Thanks a lot Snek. I changed them all over to the correct spelling. Best, Invertzoo (talk) 22:32, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

Dear Invertzoo, let's make of Wikipedia a swan in stead of an Ugly Duckling.
I wish you a very happy New Year and all good for your family, yourself and of course for the quality on Wikipedia.

Please help ID an aquarium fish

Hi Susan, here it is. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Thank you, Susan. I took the image in San Francisco Academy of Scinces, but I've never looked what this fish was, and where it came from.I guess I have to go back there one day.Best wishes. --Mbz1 (talk) 22:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could try asking Kare Kare or posting a query on the talk page for WikiProject Fishes or WikiProject Aquarium Fishes. --Geronimo20 (talk) 00:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I will.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture question

Hi Susan. I took this image in a shallow hot spring in Yellowstone National Park File:Hot Spring in Yellowstone.JPG. Do you know if the blue things are alive. They were about .3 inches long I know it is not the area of your expertise, but maybe you know somebody, who knows? Thank you for your time.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Susan. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 05:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Football Talk

Hi Invertzoo,
There's some talk on an article that I wrote. It's on one of the national Football player of Tibet. It is discussed whether he is notable enough here. Could you share your view? Thanks, Davin (talk) 17:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shells image

Hi, all of those shells are from the beach at Clacton-on-sea. And yes, it probably was flipped at some point... it was originally intended to be aesthetic rather than encyclopaedic, so I wasn't thinking the right way for a Wikipedia image :) I don't even recall why I uploaded it here. Glad you find it useful (sorry for the slow reply, I'm pretty inactive here these days, I work for Wikia so tend to wiki over there now) -- sannse (talk) 21:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really consider it an encyclopaedic enough image to bother with uploading a higher resolution image. If the shells were spread out and labelled with species, then maybe... but I don't have the shells any more. I think it's big enough for the use it's put to, and not worth puttin it tomore use ;) sorry -- sannse (talk) 10:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
