  • IMPORTANT: Fish Profiles and Copyright issues

    Everyone,

    Please make sure that any fish profiles you add are not copied and pasted from other sites. We don't want any issues with copyright infringement.

    It is okay to get some of your information from other sites, but be sure to make it your own.

    This also includes using photos from other sites in the profiles. If you don't have a photo of the fish, I'm sure someone else here will and can add it to your profile.

    Thanks!

    Yeah good idea.

    The photo thing is more of an issue than the writing thing. If you copy someones writing just make sure to use proper citation and give credit to the writer.

        I'm going to be working on more. I'm planning to do at least one today.
        Trogdor was a man. Or maybe he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

        You know, fish are great. I love my fish. But what I really want is a monkey.

          Maybe there should be some reward points for making a profile. That might get people to start working on it.

          Maybe give them an extra "thanks" point or two.

            I was thinking about trying to add a blurb to the user info (like where it says how many posts, how many times you've been thanked, location), showing how many profiles you've created. How about something like that?

              I think that would work well!

                Yeah that would perfectly. We just need to build that part of the site up. A lot of people still don't even know about it.

                      Dang, you still remember that! I thought I got away with not posting anymore. )

                      Fine, I'll go do another one for you.

                        You need to do two since you tried to get away with only one.

                          About photos: a good site for freely available photos is the WikiCommons website. It's related to Wikipedia and every image on their site is free for use.

                            Where should one put profiles for rasboras? I'm planning on one for heteromorphas, but there's no category for it. Oddballs wouldn't really be appropriate, would it?

                              For now, you can just put any that don't have a category in Oddballs. I can sort that out later. :)
