    Proposal: Better Image Desired Category

    Good points Steve-- First, everyone is welcome to comment; not just moderators. Second, as you point out, Opus already has the problem you are describing (the potential sensitivity of replacing one image with another); so, we cannot avoid the problem by not adding new categories. Third...

    Proposal: Better Image Desired Category

    Response to Richard Klim Richard-- While I understand (and even share) your concern, I think this is more of a theoretical problem than one we will encounter. That's why I suggested that we be conservative in marking species with the "Better Image Desired" category. If we limit ourselves to...

    Proposal: Better Image Desired Category

    More categories Andre-- I'm generally in favor of more categories, but I think they need to be "actionable". That is, you get the list of species for the category and you know what to do. So, Category: Better Image Desired Category: Male Needed Category: Female Needed (for sexually...

    Proposal: Better Image Desired Category

    Now that Opus is approaching the remarkable achievement of almost 7000 species with photographs, I think it is time to add a new category called "Better Image" or "Better Image Desired". We moderators should go through the Opus pages and add the category to all species where the photo is...

    On being a BF member Nils, Good point. I will ask people to sign up as members. Do we know--is James Eaton and others whose photos people have been uploading to Opus a member? I know they have given permission, but are they members? Maybe we do need a clarification (again!) on this point...

    Birdfinders photos

    Do any of the moderators know the folks at http://www.birdfinders.co.uk/news/colorado2004pics.htm because they have a photo of Gray Vireo (one of the missing images) on their web site? Perhaps they'd be willing to contribute it to Opus. They might have other photos we need for Opus as well...
