Hi Diego, can you help me to correct this article? thank you very muck--Lodewijk Vadacchino (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Very good
[edit]I see your work, Diego. Very good. I will give you my vote in Spanish. :) --Albeiror24 - English - Español - Italiano 15:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
[edit]Hi Diego, I liked your wikify, with no experience in web-desings but some bloggers and neither in computers I may have tried to reach to high. It has been a good "patada", so I am going to step one and start looking the data from your remarks, sneeking some more "pinillos" in the same subject. Looking forward to your next kick. Regards.--Lumentzaspi (talk) 12:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)^
Hi pal, Spanish is my second language, It would have been worst, if like I told you, not just Polish-Basque but if I would have mixed-up Portuguese&Basque+English&French+Italian&Spanish, which is not just a bit of Span-English, to destroy Wikipedia´s politics. You told me where you are, were, have been, do, did & have done. I must confess I have register my same name in other wikis, but with none much contribution. Is that wrong?. You were very kind yerterday helping me, but my background in computers is none, like one of those old mechanics with no theory but few cars pulled apart. Thank you for everything, good-luck & hope we meet again someday. Yours.Lumentzaspi.
- Gute nacht der freunf,
I can understand that so many open an account and never get anywhere, because I have been like scarmbling my shopping list and still have the trolley empty. You guys must have a good time (and patience or vocation) w/ us the beginers. But do not loose hope, one day it will pup up. This time. Just to say ¡Hi & thank you! Lumentzaspi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumentzaspi (talk • contribs) 21:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I´ll have in mind your advise to place in all my open but not finished pages, that I´am "on construction".I may be a roadrunner but takes time to pick up those details. Thanks & regards . Lumentzaspi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumentzaspi (talk • contribs) 14:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- Kaixo mutil,
I have problems with my finger-prints and I´ave sent you a message like a beginer with no signature (in my second language talk), sorry. Lumentzaspi (talk) 19:43, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Page creation
[edit]I saw your comments here regarding the creation of pages by IP and non-confirmed users.
Are you familiar with Wikipedia:Article wizard? In addition to being a helpful start for new editors, it creates the desired draft as a user subpage. I think this is a wonderful approach, and would like to see it publicized more.
Once the user has completed their draft to their satisfaction, if they are auto-confirmed by then, they can move it themselves, or they can ask that it be moved, and another pair of eyes can check to make sure it is a net addition to the encyclopedia.
It occurs to be that if one more strongly encouraged the creation of new articles in user subpages, (except, of course, for established editors), one could be more relaxed about allowing brand-new editors, even IPs, to create new pages. The user subpages are no-indexed by rule, so an IP creating a shock page or a blatant advertisement isn't going to achieve their goal. If the page turns out to be decent, it can easily be moved to article space.--SPhilbrickT 14:12, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment - best of luck.--SPhilbrickT 14:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
iw for templates
[edit]Hallo, when you are putting interwikis on the templates (as you did here), then do it on the documentation subpage instead. This way the software does not have to recalculate all the pages which is using the template. I think the same is true for eswiki: es:Plantilla:Fecha categoría artículo. --Christian75 (talk) 12:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter April 2013
[edit] |
ICHTHUS |
| April 2013 |
Membership report
The parent Christianity WikiProject currently has 357 active members. We would like to welcome our newest members, Thomas Cranmer, Mr.Oglesby, and Sneha Priscilla. Thank you all for your interest in this effort. We would be able to achieve nothing here without the input of all of you. If any members, new or not, wish any assistance, they should feel free to leave a message at the Christianity noticeboard or with me or other individual editors to request it.
From the Editor
We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of John Carter, and so I have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.
Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.
This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!
P.S. Please click here to add the new Christianity noticeboard to your watchlist to follow the latest discussions relevant to WikiProject Christianity and subprojects.

Church of the month
This image of the Church of Saint Ildefonso, Portugal by Poco a poco was recently promoted to Featured Image. Thank you and congratulations for the great image!
Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests, and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

Christian art
Spotlight
The Spotlight this month turns to the the Jesus work group. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include Jesus, Christ, Resurrection of Jesus, and Holy Grail, whereas High-priority articles include Aramaic Language, a former FA, as well as Sermon on the Mount, Lamb of God, and Passion (Christianity). The workgroup has also published two books, covering Christ's final days and the Parables of Jesus. The workgroup has two GAs, Nativity scene, and Jesus in Islam, but unfortunately the flagship article, Jesus was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three WP:1.0 articles, and the WikiWork of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.
By Gilderien
Calendar
This coming month (end-March through end-April) includes Easter Sunday in Western Christianity and both Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Saint George, Saint Mark the Evangelist, Saint Stanislaus, James, son of Zebedee, and Benedict the Moor.
Help requests

- (talk page stalker) - Several editors, Nasgualdesign for instance, don't !vote to support their own nominations or edits out of principal. It's a bit more common on Commons from what I've seen. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, in Commons I do support my nomination (I am though considering not to do it anymore), but here I am not sure whether people would agree on that practice and furthermore I am not so familiar with the criteria in en.wp to supportor oppose images. I have seen that the EV plays a key role, and I understand that, which makes it a bit different to Commons (and maybe that's why I prefer that project). That's why I just limited to express my opinion in the nomination. Still, I really appreciate what you did. Poco2 18:31, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey there! I found what I think is a good secondary usage for this image. See what you think? Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:29, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Adam, I agree with you. I was wondering why is that so essential for a nomination to FP? If there are 2 articles where the picture is adequate then the nomination confirms its EV? interesting. Poco2 18:35, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- There's a requirement that an image adds significantly to articles. It's mainly meant to give English Wikipedia's FPC process a unique purpose compared to Commons' FPC, but it has the secondary purpose that, if an image is adding to an article significantly, it's likely to stay in the article long-term.
- I can kind of see why they objected to the Petrillo Music Shell usage. while it puts it in context in a lovely way, you can't see the seating (if it's there: I suspect the seating comes and goes), and the noone had argued the case for why putting it in context adds value, which is one of those subtle added value things that people sometimes need pointed out: Knowing that, say, when going to a concert there you have a really good view of Chicago as a backdrop is information that isn't present in any other image.

- Hello Yakikaki and Armbrust, I want to thank you both for nominating the picture and letting me know about the outcome. I have read the discussion and I agree that the file side is too small. That isn't a problem as itself but the reason is that I applied too much denoising and therefore the difference between pixels was reduced, the result is a smaller JPEG. I will upload a new and improved version, if you don't mind. Btw, that's the second FP of that monument, the first one (in Commons) was this one. Best regards, Poco2 19:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- To be honest, my believe was not right, the denoising was moderate. Still, I have improved the picture in terms of curves, contrast, sharpness, tilt, perspective and chroma denoising, and will upload a new version Poco2 20:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Very nice start. Just make sure your grammar and spelling are correct in section 1.

- Hi Joel.Miles925, I need some help, do you think it is suitable to remove now that terrible template placed in the article? --Poco2 20:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
The article Amalia Ramírez has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Ahecht (TALK

- Hi Ahecht, if you had granted me 4 minutes to create it, maybe you could have saved that template and this message. Please, have a look now. --Poco2 19:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar |
| Hola Diego,
I wanted to thank you for all the great images. I downloaded more than 500 featured pictures of yours from Commons. My thought as I looked through your work, especially the Iranian work, was that this stuff should be in books and magazines! Wow! Geoffroi (talk) 05:27, 19 April 2019 (UTC) |
- Thank you for your gift and words, Geoffroi. Putting all those images together would also result in a pretty thick book ;) Poco2 21:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
- Or a stack of travel books worth looking at. I was left a lot of travel books from my Dad when he died last year. In all of them, I judged by your work and other FP contributors, and the comparison was on your side. I looked at each image in the books and thought whether it would pass FPC. Only a few in each book would pass. Your Iran pics alone could produce a travel book. Where else could I go to get beautifully done images in Iran like yours? - Thanks again for all your great work, and have a great 2019! Geoffroi (talk) 00:02, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Skagway pic, Commons pic of the day
[edit]
Hi, I am glad u noticed my adding your photo to the Skagway_Historic_District_and_White_Pass article. :) Thanks for creating it and doing whatever is required in getting it featured, so that I would notice it, and congratulations on getting the Commons' Picture of the Day today about it! :) I am glad you're here contributing. Way different than anything i do, which is mostly writing about U.S. historic sites, and my pics are generally poor. :(
Hmm, I do have one super pic that i have refrained from uploading, as I think it deserves an award in the Wikipedia Loves Monuments competition or some Commons competition, and I don't happen to know how to proceed. It was taken by a better camera, by a friend who gives over copyright to me to use however i like. It is also in Alaska but in a remote area, showing an awesome, colorful shipwreck half out of the water, with cool plants growing on it. Any advice? --Doncram (talk) 23:34, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Doncram, you need help to contribute a picture to WLM19? Firstly I'm not sure whether USA will participate in WLM this year (I assume so, as they did in the last 3 editions, but that could change). In the likely case that USA participates you should upload that image on Commons in the month of September, the link for that would be this one. For more detail you can access the USA WLM 2018 page on Commons (as 2019 is not yet available). Cheers! --Poco2 10:22, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

The Castle of Zafra is a 12th-century castle located in the municipality of Campillo de Dueñas, in the Spanish province of Guadalajara. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century on a sandstone outcrop in the Sierra de Caldereros, it stands on the site of a former Visigothic and Moorish fortification that fell into Christian hands in 1129. It had considerable strategic importance as a virtually impregnable defensive work on the border between Christian- and Muslim-ruled territory. It was never conquered and was successfully defended against the king of Castile in the 13th century, but by the end of the 15th century, it had lost its military significance.

The Arg-e Bam, in Kerman Province in southeastern Iran, is the largest adobe building in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient citadel has a history dating back around two thousand years, to the Parthian Empire (248 BC – 224 AD), but most of its buildings were constructed during the Safavid dynasty. A strong earthquake on 26 December 2003 largely devastated the fortress and the nearby modern city of Bam. The Arg-e Bam, including the governor's residence, the main tower, the Four Seasons Palace and the hammam, were nearly totally destroyed; this photograph from 2016 shows the citadel partially reconstructed.

Sphaerechinus granularis is a species of sea urchin in the family Toxopneustidae, commonly known as the violet sea urchin. Its range includes the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean, from the Channel Islands south to Cape Verde and the Gulf of Guinea. It favours sheltered locations and lives on rocks covered with seaweed or gravelly substrates. It is usually found in the neritic zone down to about thirty metres (100 ft) but occasionally down to a hundred metres (330 ft) in more exposed locations. It is also found in meadows of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica. It grazes on algae, especially encrusting coralline algae, seagrass blades and their epiphytic organisms and detritus. This S. granularis sea urchin was photographed off the coast of Madeira. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The Caves of Hercules is an archaeological cave complex located in Cape Spartel, Morocco. Situated 14 kilometres (9 mi) west of Tangier, the popular tourist attraction is adjacent to the summer palace of the king of Morocco. The cave itself is partly natural and partly man-made. The man-made portion was used by Berbers to cut stone wheels from the walls to make millstones, resulting in the ridges visible on the walls in this photograph of the cave's interior.

All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows' Day or Hallowmas, is a Christian solemnity celebrated in honour of all the saints of the church, whether they are known or unknown. In the 9th century, some churches in the British Isles began holding the commemoration of all saints on 1 November, and in the 9th century this was extended to the whole Catholic church by Pope Gregory IV. In Western Christianity, it is still celebrated on 1 November by the Roman Catholic Church as well as many Protestant churches, as the Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist traditions. This view of the Holy Cross Cemetery in Gniezno, Poland, shows candles and flowers placed to honour deceased relatives on All Saints' Day. It is observed as a public and bank holiday in Poland, the following day also being commemorated in the country as Zaduszki (All Souls' Day). Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The Battle of Edessa took place between the armies of the Roman Empire under the command of Emperor Valerian and the Sasanian Empire under Shahanshah (King of the Kings) Shapur I, Shapur I, on the site of the modern Turkish city of Urfa in 260. The Roman army was defeated and captured in its entirety by the Sasanian forces; for the first time, a Roman emperor was taken prisoner. This 3rd-century Sasanian rock-face relief, located at the ancient necropolis of Naqsh-e Rostam in modern-day Iran, depicts Shapur's triumph over Valerian in the battle.

Pobiti Kamani is a rock formation located in Varna Province, Bulgaria. There are a number of theories regarding its origin, with two broad hypotheses. According to one, the formations are the result of coral activity, while another explains the phenomenon with the prismatic weathering and desertification of the rocks, the formation of sand and limestone concretions, or lower Eocene bubbling reefs. The stone pillars were first described by the Russian archaeologist and historian Victor Teplyakov in 1829, and the site was designated a natural landmark in the late 1930s. This photograph shows the pillars of Pobiti Kamani in 2016. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The grey triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) is a species of ray-finned fish in the triggerfish family, Balistidae. The species is native to shallow parts of the western Atlantic from Nova Scotia to Argentina and also the eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and off Angola on the west coast of Africa. It is typically found over hard bottoms on reefs and rocky areas, in lagoons and in bays, at depths down to about 55 metres. It moves using undulations of its dorsal fins, and if threatened, can work its way into a protective crevice and wedge itself in place by erecting its front dorsal spine. It is difficult to dislodge from this position. The grey triggerfish is a demersal species and feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates such as shrimps, crabs, molluscs, sea urchins, sand dollars, starfish and sea cucumbers. This grey triggerfish was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Setúbal District, Portugal. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Laguna Miñiques is a lake in northern Chile. It lies at the foot of the volcano Cerro Miscanti, south of Laguna Miscanti, from which it receives inflow by seepage. The two lakes are separated by a lava flow. Like Miscanti and the nearby Laguna Lejía, Miñiques is a fault-bound lake and has brackish waters. A popular tourist destination, it is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve, and is home to wildlife including the cladocerans Alona pulchella and Daphnia, the copepod Boeckella poopoensis, and unidentified species of Cyclopoida. This panoramic photograph of Laguna Miñiques was taken in February 2016. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is one of the largest and best-known cuttlefish species. It is native to the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea, with some subspecies proposed in South Africa. It lives on sand and mud seabeds and can tolerate brackish water. The common cuttlefish is a migratory species, spending the summer and spring inshore for spawning and then moving to depths of 100 to 200 metres (330 to 660 ft) during autumn and winter. It has a mantle of up to 49 centimetres (19 in), with a mass of 4 kilograms (8.8 lb). Cuttlefish have strong camouflaging abilities, enabled by a variety of specialized cells: pigmented chromatophore organs, light-scattering leucophores, and structurally reflecting iridophores in their skin. This common cuttlefish was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The Roman amphitheatre of Italica is a ruined Roman amphitheatre situated outside the ancient Roman settlement of Italica in Andalusia, Spain, near the modern city of Seville. It was built during the reign of the emperor Hadrian (who was born in Italica), approximately between the years 117 and 138, and was one of the largest amphitheatres in the Roman Empire. With a capacity of 25,000 spectators, it had an elliptical shape of around 160 by 137 metres (525 by 449 ft), with three levels of stands: the first of these remains intact, the second partially so, and the third is mostly in ruin. The amphitheatre, along with the rest of Italica, was largely abandoned by the Romans in the 3rd century. It was rediscovered in the 17th century during the Renaissance, and work to unearth the amphitheatre began in the late 19th century. It is now a tourist site offering visitor tours, and also featured in the TV series Game of Thrones as the dragonpit of King's Landing. This panoramic photograph shows the interior of the amphitheatre in 2015. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

San Pedro is a composite volcano in northern Chile and one of the tallest active volcanoes in the world. It is part of the Andean Volcanic Belt and, like other Andean volcanoes, was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South America Plate. San Pedro is formed of two separate edifices, the Old Cone and the Young Cone, and is adjoined to a neighbouring volcano, San Pablo. The Old Cone was active over one hundred thousand years ago and was eventually truncated by a giant landslide that removed its northwestern side. Within the landslide scar lava flows and pyroclastic flows constructed the Young Cone as well as the lateral centre La Poruña. Some eruptions have been reported during historical time, and presently the volcano is fumarolically active. This photograph shows San Pedro in the foreground, with San Pablo visible behind it to the right. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Tarazona is a town and municipality, and the capital of the comarca Tarazona y el Moncayo in Aragon, Spain. It is also the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tarazona. Located on the river Queiles, a tributary of the Ebro, Tarazona was an important regional centre of ancient Rome, known as Turiaso, located around 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Bilbilis. The city later came under the rule of the Visigoths, who called it Tirasona. This view of Tarazona was taken from the city's episcopal palace, and shows Tarazona Cathedral and its seminary, the Old Bullfight Arena, and the Sanctuary of the Lady of the River.

The Nazca lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created in two major phases – the Paracas phase (from 400 to 200 BC) and the Nazca phase (from 200 BC to 500 AD). The combined length of all the lines is more than 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. The lines were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. This is an aerial view of the geoglyph known as the "monkey", one of the most well-known of the Nazca lines. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Sagunto is a municipality of Spain, located in the province of Valencia, approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of the city of Valencia. The municipality includes three differentiated urban nuclei: Ciutat Vella (Sagunto), Grau Vella and Puerto de Sagunto. More than half of the population lives in Puerto de Sagunto, situated on the Mediterranean Costa del Azahar. The Ciutat Vella is the site of the ancient Iberian and Roman city of Saguntum and a siege in 219 BC which was the trigger of the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians and the Romans. This panorama shows the Ciutat Vella, looking north from the hill on which Sagunto Castle stands. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Bispira volutacornis, sometimes known as the twin fan worm or spiral fan worm, is a type of tube worm found in the shallow sublittoral zone of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It grows in crevices and in stony areas and prefers areas rich in sediment but with low levels of illumination. It has a parchment-like tube with a mucoid outer layer that is often coated with mud or silt. The tube is usually concealed in a crevice and the worm can retract into the tube when disturbed. It feeds on plankton which it captures with its plumes. It also uses the plumes to gather sediment with which to expand the tube. This B. volutavornis worm was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The royal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus) is a fish in the marine angelfish family, Pomacanthidae. It is found in tropical seas, including the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean around East Africa and the Maldives, the Tuamotus, New Caledonia, and the Great Barrier Reef. It is also found around Taiwan and islands off the coast of Japan. The royal angelfish has a maximum length of 25.0 centimetres (9.8 inches), with coloration varying by region. A commonality is that the body is edged in narrow blue-white and orange stripes that are narrow and angle backward. It is a carnivorous species, feeding on sponges and tunicates, and resides in coral-rich areas of lagoons and reefs as well as in the vicinity of caves. This royal angelfish was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Danafungia scruposa is a species of coral found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It is around 25 centimetres (9.8 inches) in diameter and normally consumes a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter. During an algal bloom in 2009, researchers observed D. scruposa consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita, the first time such behaviour had been seen in the wild. This D. scruposa coral was photographed in the Red Sea off the Egyptian coast. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Pomacanthus maculosus, commonly known as the yellowbar angelfish, is a species in the marine angelfish family, Pomacanthidae, found in the western Indian Ocean and, more recently, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It has a deep and compressed body with a small mouth that is equipped with small bristle-like teeth. The background colour of adults is brownish blue with each scale having a blue margin creating the impression that it is predominantly blue. There is an uneven, yellow bar close to the centre of the flanks with dark blue, vertically elongated spots towards the head. The species is occasionally collected for the aquarium trade and has also been recorded on sale as food in fish markets. This P. maculosus fish was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park in the Red Sea off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Holothuria fuscogilva, also known as the white teatfish, is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It is found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific in shallow waters near islands and around coral reefs. Juveniles live in shallower waters (such as inter-tidal zones) and then migrate to deeper waters as they mature. Adults of this species weigh between 2.4 and 4 kilograms (5.3 and 8.8 pounds) and are elliptical in shape with a firm texture. They feature lateral papillae (teats), which are often buried in the sand. The species is consumed as food and is vulnerable to over-exploitation from commercial fishing. This H. fuscogilva sea cucumber was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park off the Red Sea coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The Philae temple complex is an island-based temple complex in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser in Egypt. Until the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, the temple complex was located on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt. These rapids and the surrounding area have been variously flooded since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. This 2022 photograph shows the temple of Isis from the Philae temple complex in its present location on Agilkia Island. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Hatshepsut, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, around the 15th century BC. Located opposite the city of Luxor, the temple's three terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Hatshepsut's tomb lies inside the same massif, capped by El Qurn, a pyramid for her mortuary complex. At the edge of the desert, one kilometre (0.6 miles) east, connected to the complex by a causeway lies the accompanying valley temple. Across the river Nile, the whole structure points towards the monumental Eighth Pylon, Hatshepsut's most recognizable addition to the temple of Karnak. The temple's twin functions are identified by its axes: its main east–west axis served to receive the barque of Amun-Re at the climax of the festival, while its north–south axis represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth. This aerial photograph shows the reconstructed mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, viewed from the southeast. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

The tentacled flathead (Papilloculiceps longiceps) is a species of marine fish belonging to the flathead family, Platycephalidae. It is found in the western Indian Ocean, including the Red Sea, and also in the Mediterranean Sea, probably as a result of migration through the Suez Canal. The tentacled flathead is a well camouflaged, ambush predator of fish and crustaceans, living near coral reefs on sand or rubble substrates at depths of up to 15 metres (49 feet). The species has an elongate body, with a maximum published length of 70 centimetres (28 inches), although 50 centimetres (20 inches) is more typical. It has a depressed head with five prominent nuchal spines, ridges on its operculum and preoperculum, a spine on the rear of the suborbital ridge, and smaller spines elsewhere. The body is mottled brownish or greenish dorsally, and whitish ventrally. There are three or four dark bands on the caudal fin, and the other fins are marked with large, dark blotches. This tentacled flathead was photographed in the Red Sea in Ras Muhammad National Park, off the southern coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Photograph credit: Diego Delso
