MorphWiki Project, could use help

I am trying to build a user genereted Wiki for Ball python Morphs,

There are SO many out there that I am having a hard time tracking down 5%

The link to the page is
http://www.stonedevisser.com/morphwi...ategory:Morphs

I am trying to get images, info, gentics, histories etc on all the morphs out there.

Of course this will take a long time, but anyone who can Help, or has a new morph or old morph they specialize in and can add pages, Would be a great help to me!

And the community.
Remember a Wiki is an OPEN information portal, you are able to easily edit any page on the site, and any other person is able to come in and add or change previous information.

If you wish to take a certain morph as your own, you are able to lock a page for yourself.

Please help, lets make this a huge archive. I have yet to find anything close to this!

Shawn, thanks

That's a good idea. I think it will be useful once it's finished. I started a list of base morphs here. Feel free to borrow from it if that would help.

Thats going to be alot of work, but thankx for doin it

tray NERD ball python collection page, has over 80 ball morphs on there



http://www.newenglandreptile.com/ner...ollection.html

thanks guys

Its a lot of work., but will be a long term process

Also anyone feels like just doing one morph go ahead!

preferebly a harder one!

Nerd also gave me permission to use there site, so Thanks!

and thanks wallace!

Added a number of morphs and a few basic descriptions, but will be a long while,

I think i broke the thumb nail feature of the site so i need to fix that.

I dont think that it's such a good idea to have them in alphabetic order becuse if you hav the Clown Pastel under "C" that means that someone that's looking for pastel Clown under "P" isn't going to find it that easy. It's okey now but down the road when you added 100 + morphs - it's not going to that easy to find what you seek.

I think that it would be better so have some form of tagging database with base morphs only. And when you click one of those you'll see all the combos. so when you click Clown you'll see pastel clown, banana clown. And when you click pastel you will se clown there aswell.

thats possible but a lot of work

I can also put it under both names and have one link to the other.

If you feel like doing all the work to catagorize like you say, go for it. but untill I have a complete archive, this won't even be a thought for me.

UPDATE

I have done a fair few, added a number of names, and I am trying to stick to 5 images per Morph

As for your comment,
I am creating multiple pages when i see fit

For Example
I have "Albino - Spider"
and then I crated "Spider - Albino"
One of which will redirect to the other.

This should help cut down on the issue you mentioned.

I also am looking for some help

I need people to do write ups on Genetics, the different types Etc.
Please PM me if you feel like writing a page, OR have already done so and will allow me to copy your work!

Thank You

Im currently doung the same thing on Reptilicious.....Heres a link

I did think about doing it as a wiki style but found it was a bit limiting....one bit of advice....start with the base morphs and once they are donr do the designer morphs....that way you can link to each ingredient of a designer morph....

Thanksf or the link

I was thinking of doing that first, but decided to list as many as I can, and will go over it as time permits and fine tune

Also I feel once I have a good strong starting base, it will be easier to get others in to help :)

I did some more playing today at work (i work hard, i know)

and decided to add sub cats to the Morph cat.

So you can insert a morph into recessive, co-dom or dom cats.

so far thats all i have added. maybe more in the future

Added the following
With descriptions:
Desert
Spormal

Without information:
Super Black Pastel
Black pewter
Silver streak
Silver Bullet.
Snow
Butter
Butter Pastel

could use help filling those in!

wtf why include the spormal??? its not a joke its a way of people getting ripped off....

I would not include the spormal, or anything besides actual genetic mutations.

I've missed the whole sporal joke, what is it?

Spormal is nothing but a normal and should not be included. It was one person's creative way to sell normals, and he even stated that it was NOT a genetic mutation.

the Spormal is not going to stay, so calm down, but it got some attention lol.

any of you people complaining wanna help? :D :gj:

nope i got enough on my plate with the one im doing...and have been doing for a fair while

Are you going to include Ball Hybrids in your project ?

Are you going with probable but, unproven morphs also?

I don't know, asI said, aside From Kevin Lawrance I have had very little help, Few people have told me to use there pictues and info though, so thank you for that!

Outside of that, Not sure what Else I will add Just Yet.

Not very many people keep all kinds of different morphs, and this site is also bringing in new people to the hobby everyday. If someone with the time and energy wants to give you help that's fine, but I would also reach out to other forums. This site is just a small percentage of the people in the hobby.

Also, as always, you can refer to websites with an already large library of snakes and morphs to draw upon.

This is your project, you have to make it work. ;)

and I am

but I am only one man.

I draw on many sites and some have given me permissiong to even copy there data, this makes things extremely easy

as for designer morphs, new morphs, unproven etc. there is very little data on them

So aside from just being able to give the name, I am unable to fill in all the info.

If you guys feel like listing names that are not on there. and/or providing me a link to data on them, then I willdefinetly add them.

But I do not see myself being able to find a list every morph on my own.

Also, I am on other forums :)

Pretty much Shawn, the way you've been wording all your posts in this thread has given me the feeling like I'm not doing my part to help you finish your project, when I never signed up for it in the first place.

I'm all for asking for help, but I feel like it's begun to turn into almost complaining at us, (the genetically confused or non contributing.) Catch my drift? I'm sorry this has turned into a hassle for you, but it is your project.


As Tim Gunn would say, "Make it work."

I am not trying to complain simply stating

I only have so much time, So I starting with what I have now and working out from there

So if people ask if I am going to cover something I reply that only if I have time,

I am all for doing the work of creating the pages, but if people would like something else covered even just sending me a pmw itht he names ( and preferebly asome sort of reference site with info) and I will add them to the list.

I know most of the morphs but when it gets right down into the fancy morphs I am still lost

So all I ask is, If you want something else covered. pm me. at LEAST the names, this way I have a abse to start, anything on top of that is a bonus.

sorry If it sounded like complaining.

Hey,
