Our major aim is to improve the Mount Kenya article. This involves working on the articles that link from Mount Kenya as well. When we first found the Mount Kenya article it was still a stub.
Two people actually work under this account name, Mehmet Karatay and Gemma Richards. This happened by accident, but now we work together most of the time so it doesn't seem worth having separate accounts. To avoid confusion on discussion pages we'll write in the first person singular as the user name doesn't imply otherwise. We live in Edinburgh.
Wikipedia is a great excuse to research things that interest us to a greater depth than we would do otherwise. It is also an excellent place to practise and improving our writing.
Viviparus georgianus, commonly known as the banded mystery snail, is a species of large freshwater snail in the family Viviparidae, the river snails. It is native to North America, generally found from the northeastern United States to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and thrives in eutrophic lentic environments such as lakes, ponds and some low-flow streams. The snail has two distinct sexes and reproduces more than once in a lifetime, with females laying eggs singly in albumen-filled capsules. It feeds on diatom clusters found on silt and mud substrates, but it may also require the ingestion of some grit to be able to break down algae. This image shows five views of a 2.1 cm high (0.83 in) V. georgianusshell, originally collected in the U.S. state of Georgia and now in the collection of the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe in Germany.
This is our section to thank everybody who's written the free software that we use almost everyday. We were hoping not to fill this page with too many boxes. Saying that, it's an ideal place to give a decent thank you to all those who put in the time. That is after all the same ideology behind Wikipedia.
