Monsieur X

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Monsieur X!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Inaccurate life restaurations

IMHO it would make sense not only to put the file into this category but to implement the inaccurate paleoart template (which automatically puts the file into an appropriate category) into the page, along with a short explanation/reasoning what exactly is wrong with the restauration, because the category alone may go unnoticed by less experienced users… --Gretarsson (talk) 16:10, 26 August 2019 (UTC); modified 16:14, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

File tagging File:Kolponomos NT.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Kolponomos NT.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org).

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that it is indeed Fred's work. The image was previously reviewed on Wikipedia & is both on his Twitter & Art Station. Monsieur X (talk) 06:07, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Rangifer tarandus → Rangifer tarandus (juvenile)

Rangifer tarandus, Duisburg

Hi Monsieur X, thank you for your help in reviewing and assigning categories - I appreciate you taking the time to check the categories. I noticed that you changed the category of my reindeer photo from Rangifer tarandus to Rangifer tarandus (juvenile). However, I am not sure if it is really a juvenile as the animal was quite large in my memory, although I don't really know well about reindeer. I would like to understand what you are basing this on so that I can take it into account better in the future. Best regards Anil Ö. (talk) 03:40, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

I thought it looked like an adolescent reindeer. What with the small bumps where its antlers should be & what looked like the animal changing into its adult coat. However, I could be wrong. Monsieur X (talk) 07:12, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not that knowledgeable about reindeer, so maybe I'm wrong. To me it looked like a full-grown animal, but I don't really have a comparison. If you have evidence that it is a juvenile or adolescent, please feel free to change the category. Regards --Anil Ö. (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
