Greater Scaup

I left some comments on Talk:Greater Scaup about your references/citations that don't appear to have been answered. Der Elbenkoenig (talk) 02:33, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

In response to your feedback

There is a link "W Use this file" at the top of the commons page so you may copy that and put in the article. Hope that helps!

Decoy

Nice job on the picture; the "reed rug" serves as an excellent backdrop. Icing on the cake! You now need to add a picture of you with a shotgun and a bunch of dead ducks hanging around your neck.--JimmyButler (talk) 02:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Hahaha Thanks:) Could I put the pic of me with ducks under the Threats section...JK--Haydenowensrulz (talk) 02:21, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

		Yet another arises from the ashes! Excellent! - delighted to see Haydenowensrulz efforts rewarded with a GA on the Greater Scaup ----JimmyButler (talk) 22:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC) A cookie for you! Congrats on your GA, Hayden! Even though you did talk crap about my mom... hahaha. Anyways, your seems like the most impressive GA in the class so far, lengthwise at least. Good job (: Imthebombliketicktick (talk) 20:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification Hi. When you recently edited Mandarin Duck, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polecat (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
