Bingham text
Shyamal, that would be a good, worthwhile and ofcourse lengthy task. A number of our lep articles lack descriptions. Ofcourse Bingham will have a huge number of description, so maybe I should make a list of all the articles written so far which dont have descriptions (complete articles, not stubs). We will tackle this list first, then I suppose we can move on family by family, genus by genus or something. Today I dont have the time to make this list I will begin tomm. What thinks you? --Viren 06:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, Viren, Shyamal bung in raw text, I'll format later on.
- I plan to use the description of Bingham without change in wording but with artificial sectioning, bolding etc thrown. This is a must for readability. It will remain as a blockquote in description section only and not merged into the fused common descriptions of mine from the other sources.
- Secondly, other stuff like status, habits will be moved to the concerned sections. If the material is large and necessary to retain ad verbatim, then I shall do as for the Description section. If the information is short and not consequential, for example, just a couple of lines, I plan to mingle it with the text with or without (Bingham) attribution as suitable.
- Wherever you put in Bingham material, please add the reference at the bottom. This is IMPORTANT guys.
- I've already done up the first article before my leave. I think it was Pontia callidice. Readability is as important as leaving the quote unchanged, so a suitable via media is proposed above for implementation.
- Comments. please.

- Fine. And here is another little key that might help. I just made it using M$ Paint. Looks rather garish, wonder if someone can make it in SVG with possibly with colours that look good under monochrome as well.

Melanitis, etc.
Hi, and thanks. We'll see how things work out for me on Wikipedia - I'm not so good with the fine details, like including links, references, images, maps, and other peripherals, but what I *can* offer is solid background information. I have a feeling that getting that foundation will be contribution enough, if Wiki works the way it's intended. As for the Melanitis, your supposition is actually pretty logical, given that one of the defining features of Satyrines is swollen costal vein bases - which is, structurally, virtually identical to male Hamadryas' wings (though clearly evolved independently). I've never heard a Melanitis or other Satyrine make a noise, myself (I saw a few in Thailand once), and I'm sure that might be instructive. If you've got specimens, you might examine them to see if there's any sexual dimorphism in the costal swellings.
