Tip: Categorizing images edit
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.BotMultichillT 19:02, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

On Lanice conchilega edit
Dear Matthias,
I am Daniel Martin, a researcher working on polychaetes at the CEAB (http://www.ceab.csic.es/personal/daniel-martin-sintes/). I am currently studying some species of the family Terebellidae and I have found your nice picture of L. conchilega. However, I have some doubts on the identification of the specimen, as it is very similar to another one belonging to the genus Loimia. Having the worm, it will be very easy to confirm the identification. So, my question is: did you saved the worm you phohotographed? and if so, do you think it would possible to send it to me?
Thank you very much in advance,
Daniel.
