Close up animation for femur
Hi. I can see that you just added a animation for manubrium with the bone in red. I think these are really good. Could I ask you to make one for femur in the infobox as image1? --JakobSteenberg (talk) 16:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- That's nice suggestion. I'm working on that. Wait for some days. --Was a bee (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Greetings from WikiProject Open Access
Dear Was a bee,
it is now one year since WikiProject Open Access was started by User:Bluerasberry on January 10, 2012. Since then, the project has advanced modestly, but we have not interacted much. For the coming year, we certainly want to improve on that.
We also plan to overhaul the project pages to make them more conducive to collaboration, and we are pondering the idea of expanding the concept of a WikiProject Open Access to projects other than the English Wikipedia, e.g. to other languages or to Wikimedia Commons. You are warmly invited to add your voice to all that. We would also appreciate if you would share some of your OA-related activities by way of our news ticker or via the monthly Open Access report that is part of the GLAM newsletter (to which you can subscribe here), or as you see fit otherwise.
As a visual token of the anniversary, I am adding today's Open Access File of the Day. Feel free to nominate files yourself. As of today, commons:Category:Open access (publishing) contains more than 15,000 files, of which about 2/3 are video and sound files uploaded by the Open Access Media Importer.
Thanks for being part of the project, and looking forward to more interaction. With a smile, -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 23:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Close up animation for tibia
Hi. I have previusly asked you for a close up animation of the femur, the pretty ones you do in red, which you made. Again, thank you for that. Could I trouble you for a similar set for tibia (and fibula so I won´t have to ask you again next month)? I really think these are perfect as image1 in infoboxes for bone articles, since they are simplistic and show relative positions to readers unfamiliar with the subject. Sorry to trouble you for this. --JakobSteenberg (talk) 13:41, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hello. I respect your attentions to articles and nice suggestion from that. I'm working for that. Please wait for some days. --Was a bee (talk) 11:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Try the new translation tool
Hello, I see that you're a translator. A new translation tool has been implemented and is ready for usage. Could you please try it by translating any page with Internet Explorer, and then report here on bugzilla if you find something wrong? We don't have many Internet Explorer testers, so your help would be very valuable. I also think that you'll enjoy translating with this tool. Thank you very much, Nemo 09:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Orbital part of inferior frontal gyrus, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Insula and Asperger (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.
