Algal Cultures article

hi Daniel,

I had a comment about the Algal Cultures article.

I had created it under "algal cultures" to be safe, I had had some trouble trying to include list-like information in other articles and was trying to avoid that here, for some reason wikipedia doesn't seem to like lists.

I like "list of algal culture collections" better as a title, and because it's clearer, but i'm concerned that if it is made more blatant, it might be removed by some overzealous editor who does not believe lists to have a place in wikipedia. I'll leave the title alone, but if you share this concern, you might change it back.

Hi Daemion,

As I am new to Wikipedia, I noticed a lot of lists... and they seem also to be organized in categories. As you pointed out, this seems more logical, so let us leave as it and see what happens. I think the list you created is very useful.--Daniel Vaulot 05:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photographs

Hi, Daniel, as an oceanographer and photographer, if you can provide any useful photographs of "protists," their tests, or calcareous or siliceous oozes, or general oceanography photographs, it would be greatly appreciated. I know when I was working in a lab and had access to scopes and cameras, I would have been able to take photographs every once in a while, unfortunately I was too interested in pickling worms to do much. I take duplicate photographs when I'm in the field so I have something to contribute to various Wikipedia California projects. This isn't a request for you to do something specific now, but rather a request for you to consider the possibilities of contributing images to the Public Domain via Wikipedia of areas that interest you, and of areas in which you might already be photographing, certainly bigger things are always getting in the way of those little things you like so much?

Thanks for the message. In fact, we just started in our lab a project called Plankton*Net where our lab is depositing the images using Creative Commons Licence. My philisophy is that public funded work should be public domain... I plan to use some of the Plankton*Net images for Wikipedia. I already started a few (see Synechococcus or Prochlorococcus images as well as here http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=Daniel%20Vaulot , a starting Wikimedia gallery) but I am bit lacking time... Cheers. --Daniel Vaulot 09:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Red Algae

Hi Daniel

I am looking for more information how to obtain R and B-Phycoerythrin from the red algae.

I was reading the [[1]]and see you contributing with this page.

Do you have any source where I can find protocols how to produce R and B-Phycoerytrin ?

Thanks
