The ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a species of turkey residing primarily in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, as well as in parts of Belize and Guatemala. It is a relative of the North American wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), although it is somewhat smaller. The body feathers of both sexes are a mixture of bronze and green iridescent color, with neither sex possessing the beard typically found in wild turkeys. Tail feathers of both sexes are bluish-grey with an eye-shaped, blue-bronze spot near the end with a bright gold tip. These spots, or ocelli (for which the ocellated turkey is named), have been likened to the patterning typically found on peafowl. This ocellated turkey was photographed near Tikal in the Petén region of Guatemala.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

I mainly work on Military articles and I and am a fervent participant of WikiProject Military History. Inside of that I mainly work on articles about American military history, including the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. I also nominate and review Good articles, and I welcome a number of users. Here is my edit count, if you wish to see it. [1]
I have awarded you this medal for your work in helping to reduce the backlog during the Good Article Candidates Backlog Elimination Drive. You reviewed five or more articles during the drive, which helped to contribute to the large decrease in the backlog. If you have the time, please continue to review articles to help make sure the backlog does not jump back up to what it was. Good job and happy editing! Nehrams2020 06:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you are completely missing the point in autograph pages. The purpose is not to make it long, it is to collect signatures of friendly Wikipedians. If you are trying to make the longest, then you are completely missing the point. But I'll sign anyway. Would you sign mine, please? ;-) ANNAfoxlover 00:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I came here to tell you that I have a strict rule against signing autograph pages. They do not help the encyclopedia, and they are a distraction from more important things, and I would never do something as silly as place my autograph on a page like this. But whoops ... here I am writing on this page, so I am going to have to sign my comment, and so after all you wind up with the autograph of ... Newyorkbrad 01:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Good luck with this lol --- RockMFR 01:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm basically doing this just to annoy all those Wikipedians out there who for some unknown reason, seem to hate autograph books! Good luck!!!!!!!!! SensibleMenace 16:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
