Subtaxa
Dont limit yourself to flickr. For animal pictures, National government sites like the Fish and Wildlife Services or National Park Service are excellent resources for public domain images.

Enter the following into Google to search the Fish and Wildlife Services site for rabbits, and then click images.

site:fws.gov rabbit

A number of really good images are found including the pygmy and brush rabbit.

Be sure to enter the link where the image is found as the source, not the big long google images link. The link should look like the one below.

Pygmy rabbit. http://www.fws.gov/nevada/nv_species/pygmy_rabbit.html

For copyright status state the following: This image is public domain because it was published by the U.S. Fish and Wildife Services.

Gallery
Tory,

Remember - the purpose of the gallery is primarily to provide examples of the subtaxa for you organism. At least 4 of the following should be included.

Pentalagus Bunolagus Nesolagus Romerolagus Brachylagus Sylvilagus Oryctolagus Poelagus

That means you must identify them and provide its commons name, species name, and genus.

Tory,

There's a problem with the way you are uploading images.


 * You should upload a large version of the image - not the small one. In flickr you'll find larger version at the bullet labeled - "different sizes".


 * When you upload, you are including nothing under "Summary". For many of your pictures there is information about the picture, such as the name of the organism, or the location where the picture was taken. You should look above or below the picture for such information and add it when you upload.


 * Under copyright status, you're simply stating that "The image is public". Again, being public on flickr is not the same as being "public domain". It simply means the author has uploaded it so the public can view it instead of it being in a private folder. Under copyright status, you should provide the specific Creative Commons License it was released under and you must provide the link to that license.

You should correct these problems. Click on the pictures on your page - then click the link below the picture that says "description page". On the description page, you will find a link below the picture for "upload newer version of this image". Click it to upload a larger version of the picture if necessary.

Then after you upload, go back to the description page, click edit above the picture and edit the "Summary" and "Copyright Status" sections. Note: you cannot add any of this information when you do a "RE-upload". You have to add the information afterwards.

I uploaded a bigger version and edit the "Summary" and "Copyright Status" of the following. http://creationwiki.org/pool/Image:Close_up_of_cf.jpg

SNOW DAY - WooHooo!

Filename
Tory,

Remember to examine the information that accompanies the photos on flickr and include that in the summary field upon upload. Its advisable to search wikipedia at that time to see if the common name provided by the photographer matches to a species in Wikipedia - and then give the file a descriptive filename that includes the species name if possible.

Two of the 3 humming bird pictures that you uploaded were identified by the photographer flickr. Your main photo is a Costa's hummingbird - which was identified on Wikipedia as (Calypte costae). I altered the photo summary field to include that info. Another is the ruby-throated humminbird. Those names should have been used as their filenames. "Hb landing.jpg" and stuff like that is really not what we want.

50%!

Question!!!!!
I typed in Hosta under common name in USDA and this is what it came up with two diferent choices [USDA] So I looked up Hosta in Wikipedia- and it showed up as a totally different taxonomy.

Which one do I do my paper on??? :]

If you could let me know ASAP that would be great!

Have a good weekend!

Use the taxonomy from USDA. Wikipedia is using a different system. That's why I instructed you to use USDA. The USDA search results can be confusing. Note that your topic is the genus Hosta - not Helminthostachys.

http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=HOSTA

They identify the following 4 species in that genera.


 * Species Hosta lancifolia (Thunb.) Engl. -- narrowleaf plantain lily P
 * Species Hosta plantaginea (Lam.) Aschers. -- fragrant plantain lily P
 * Species Hosta tsushimensis N. Fujita P
 * Species Hosta ventricosa (Salisb.) Stearn -- blue plantain lily P

Edit what USDA has displayed above like the following for your list of species.


 * H. lancifolia (narrowleaf plantain lily)
