Hünen- oder Hügelgäber edit

Hallo Willow, eine Frage: handelt es sich bei den Gräbern auf diesen beiden Fotos von Dir     wirklich um Hügelgräber, bzw. evt. aufgedeckte Hügelgäber. Wenn nicht, sind es wohl Hünengräber, und sie müßten in die Category:Dolmens of Germany und vielleicht auch noch in die Galerie Dolmen. Grüße --Botaurus stellaris 22:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

PS: schöne Fotos hast Du in Deiner Galerie. Ich schließe mich User:Überraschungsbilder an. Botaurus

Hallo, ich weiß es leider nicht. In der mir zugänglichen Literatur zur Lüneburger Heide steht speziell zu diesen beiden Gräbern nichts. Ansonsten: Danke für das Lob. Willow 10:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hallo, schon vor geraumer Zeit habe ich auf der Diskussionseite des ersten Fotos   angemerkt, dass Hannibals Grab kein Hünengrab ist und dies auch in den Wikipedia-Artikel über die Lüneburger Heide (vgl. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lüneburger_Heide#Frühgeschichte) eingearbeitet. Was das zweite Foto anbelangt, so würde ich dasselbe behaupten wollen. M. W. sind dort nur Steine angehäuft worden - ein Urteil, was auch durch den Blick auf eine archäologische Karte (Beilage zu: Karl Kersten (1964). Urgeschichtes des Naturschutzparkes Wilsede. Hildesheim: August-Lax-Verlagsbuchhandlung) bestätigt wird. Insofern sind Kategorisierung und Bildbeschreibungen nicht korrekt. Und ich hätte die Fotos auch gar nicht in der vorliegenden Form hochgeladen, wenn mir keine validen Informationen vorliegen. Eine Änderung wäre m.E. vonnöten.

Hello, Willow!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Licenses edit

Dear Willow,

As you might know Wikimedia is currently migrating from the GFDL to cc-by-sa-3.0. Wikimedia Commons is also migrating and we're down to less than 2500 files (started with about 1,8M files). Unfortunatly this number keeps growing because Commonist contains outdated license templates. You appear to be running Commonist, could you please change the following lines in your license.txt? You can also copy a new licenses.txt from here.

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} should be changed to {{Self|GFDL|Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}
{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}}
{{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}

Can I also fix the images you have already uploaded by adding {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}?

Thank you very much,

--MGA73 (talk) 17:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please add the {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} license. By the way: Can you delete the Image "LK Marburg-Biedenkopf - 16812.jpg"? I uploaded it with a wrong name. Willow (talk) 09:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Should be done now. I also deleted file:LK Marburg-Biedenkopf - 16812.jpg. An other time just upload the file again with the correct name and add {{bad name|correct name}} on the file that should be deleted. --MGA73 (talk) 13:30, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Permission for Image Use edit

Dear Willow,

I'm working with the New England Wild Flower Society (NEWFS), a nonprofit conservation group in Framingham, Massachusetts, USA, to put together a comprehensive online resource for the flora of New England, called Go Botany!. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has given us funding to create this detailed online plant identification key for more than 3000 plant species native to New England. The goal of the site is to be the most comprehensive online key available, and it is being created in conjunction with a new printed flora for New England, an historic undertaking that clarifies and re-classifies many species. There will be two versions of the site--one featuring a more simplified key for the general public, and one with a more advanced key for educators and professionals. The overriding goal is to make botany more accessible and interesting to people in order to spark more appreciation for the natural world.

Each species will be accompanied by several images illustrating diagnostic characteristics for that plant--flower, fruit, habit, bark, leaf, winter bud, in the case of woody plants. We have received images from numerous sources but still have significant gaps in the image database. I am working to secure images to illustrate the characters for which we currently have none.

I viewed your Salix purpurea images on Wikipedia and Wikimedia, and we would be very interested in utilizing one in particular--Salix_purpurea_003.jpg--for our project. We realize that the image is governed by a Creative Commons license, but we still need to obtain specific permission for our records. The image, and any others we might find useful would, of course, be credited to you in any way you wish.

I look forward to your reply.

All the best, Tom Warhol Botanical Data Specialist New England Wild Flower Society --Pogopposum 8 February 2012

I agree with the Use of the Image. Willow (talk) 13:02, 30 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

AUTHORIZATION FOR PUBLICATION edit

Hi Willow!

My name is Edoardo Bit, I am an architect and also a “young researcher” of the University of Ferarra (Italy).

I am writing a book on the “green walls technologies” and I have found very interesting some photos in your page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use them in my book.


Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your nickname) and the link of the pictures will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication.


The 2 photos which I would use are:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Calluna_vulgaris_001.jpg

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lamium_maculatum_001.jpg


Thank you very much! I hope you will attend my request… My e-mail is: edoardo.bit@gmail.com


Bye,

Edoardo

Krähenbeere im Pietzmoor edit

 
Krähenbeere

Lieber Willow, kannst Du Dich noch erinnern, wie Du an die Stelle gelangt bist, die den Krähenbeerbestand im Pietzmoor zeigt? Handelt es sich um eine Stelle, die über die befestigten Wege zu erreichen ist? Muss man da lange nach suchen oder wachsen die überall? --HV (talk) 14:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
