ByBartBotje
For quite some time, Bj.schoenmakers' bot BartBotje has been an active contributor to articles about biological species on the Dutch Wikipedia. Recently, its activities have expanded to Commons, where it has begun to upload hundreds of images of such species, many of which originated from Open Access sources. A selection is shown below:
Recent uploads: Rats as dino models; Auditory illusion; Crab-hunting octopus
The following represents a selection of the files that have been uploaded this month from open-access sources. Most of these came from PubMed Central through the Open Access Media Importer — whose uploads now total over 21,700 — and from BartBotje (see section above). If you can think of wiki pages where these files (or other files from the same source articles) could be useful, please put them in there or let us know.
