Hello I’m Gatba, the real one. Contact me on my talk page if you think a Florida mollusk needs images. I will be happy to sort through my collection and dedicate an image under a public domain license. Most mollusks from the Plio-Pleistocene are in my personal collection. (Do not be shy about it, I may also have mollusks and other fossils from outside of this time frame and location; and if possible I may make a trip to photograph the live animal upon request). I am also an artist and I take requests for topics of cultural or scientific interest.

My edit summaries are usually a bit blunt on mainspace but I promise if I corrected one of your mistakes I do not intend to be condescending. I am a goofy guy and by the time you are reading this I have already forgotten your username and therefore can’t hold anything against you personally even if I for some reason wanted to.

My main goal on Wikipedia is to maintain an accurate, accessible encyclopedia for both professionals whom need refreshments on a subject, and those just familiarizing themselves with a subject. If you are the latter, it is especially important that you mark my work with {{jargon}} where appropriate. What’s the point of Wikipedia if you can’t read it?
