Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in ‎Salmo fibreni, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Pontificalibus (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Salmo fibreni

Explanation of copyright in Fishbase

(I was writing this at the same time Fabrictramp posted the above paragraph--we are advising essentially the same thing.)

Fishbase is a wonderful resource. However, it is copyright under a license which permits non-commercial use only. Wikipedia uses a license that permits use by anyone for any purpose, and so we cannot import content from a site or publication with a more restrictive license. People can and do use our content for commercial purposes, as long as they attribute it to wikipedia and reproduce our license. so the material from there has to be rewritten., This is actually fairly easy,for we have a standard format for articles on fish. You then must give the place where you found the information , which is Fishbase: Give the url of the page used, and dont use copy the "main ref" information from the bottom but link specifically to their author identification as well, eg to http://www.fishbase.org/References/FBRefSummary.php?ID=13696&speccode=26969 J And always make sure you completely rewrite it. We have a lot of missing fishes, but do it right,. If people see the standard format they will not ignorantly think that there is no context. DGG (talk) 17:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
