[edit] Ecuador fauna

Hi guys, I work on many of the frog and reptile articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed that there is a huge lack of South American frog photos, except for those in the pet trade. Would anyone be willing to go out and try and take some frog, and other fauna, photos which are not on Wikipedia yet? Especially those from the families which don't have a photo in List of Anuran families. Thanks --liquidGhoul 05:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


I'll do my best - I'm in and out of the cloud forests and deep jungle, so I have the opportunity. The lifted lorax 03:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of Wikipedia to take part in a larger celebration of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:ACID nom of Simón Bolívar

Hello WP Ecuador, I just realized I never alerted the relevant WikiProjects to the fact that Simón Bolívar is a current ACID nominee. I'm not trying to votestack, I just want all of you to be aware of this and those that are interested can help out. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 02:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bilateral relations discussion

I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:59, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guinea pig

Hi, this article just passed GA status and I was wondering if anyone from this WikiProject might want to take a look at it and offer any suggestions for the sake of comprehensiveness. Thanks! Chubbles 20:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Galapagos Project?

Would a Galapagos WikiProject be a good idea, or not? If not a WikiProject, a task force of this one? Basketball110 pick away... 00:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project Status

I updated the project banner with new parameters and tagged the talk page of all the articles having an Ecuador category with the project banner (probably a few thousand). This should help publicize WikiProject Ecuador to those who may be interested in helping the project. I think just about every Wikipedia article that needs a WikiProject Ecuador on its talk page now has one. I added categories to Category:WikiProject Ecuador and added appropriate content to them. This should make it easier for the project to find things. The Transhumanist improved List of basic Ecuador topics to give the project a better idea of what new articles may be needed. I reorganized the project page to include subheading typical of a regional WikiProject. Also, I added Galápagos Islands task force and provided province subcategories to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Ecuador to make it easier to match photo request with those able to take such a photograph. -- GregManninLB (talk) 15:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anything really screamingly urgent?

Hi fellow Wikidorians - Is there anything under our scope that is really screaming out for photos? The list of "photo me!" stubs is kind of daunting, but if you would kindly point me in the right direction I'd be happy to start tackling it. Thanks! The lifted lorax (talk) 19:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

[edit] Ecuadorian music industry

I've been unable to find information pertaining to the Ecuadorian music industry, so I was hoping someone here could help me. Is there a Ecuadorian equivalent to the Recording Industry Association of America or British Phonographic Industry? I ask because I'm working on a global music-market type article (List of music recording sales certifications) and I've been unable to find much info pertaining to the Ecuadorian music industry. Any help anyone could give would very much appreciated. Drewcifer (talk) 02:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
