Bonjour,

Si c'est votre photo, merci de déposer l'originale et non une version réduite. C'est beaucoup plus utile pour Wikipédia et c'est la preuve que cette photo est la vôtre. Cordialement, Yann 00:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

The original size is at least 800x600 pixels, much more than your image which is 199×281. Regards, Yann 16:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Stop

I have gone through all your photos and no one will ever see them if they are not linked to an article gallery or a Category. Use the and symbols around the botanical names and this will tell you if there is an article (color blue) or there isn't (color red). If there is a blue link, place your photos in the article gallery or category showing. If not put the photo in the next highest taxanomic Category WayneRay 12:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)WayneRay

I looked and not one of your photos has a category other than the license 3.0 etc etc. Go to your User page, click on your Gallery link at the top and look for Trillium vasey Trillium vasey I created a species gallery article and put it in Category:Trillium If you go to the edit part of the article gallery use the text template I have there and you can create an article if there is none. Make sure each trillium photo gallery has a Trillium Category attached. WayneRay 18:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)WayneRay

Salut, à la demande de Valery75, j'ai jeté un coup d'oeil sur tes images. J'ai placé ces dernières dans différentes catérogies. Essentiellement Category:Trillium et Category:Cyclamen, où j'ai créé des sous catégories pour chaque Species. J'ai eu un problème avec Category:Trillium rugelli et Category:Trillium rugeli qui semblait être de la même Species mais orthographiées différemment. Je n'y connais rien en botanique donc la création de Category:Trillium rugelli est peut-être une erreur de ma part.

Tout tes documents ne sont pas catégorisés, notamment les premiers que tu as importés, ne le sont pas encore. Tu peux t'y essayer en regardant comment j'ai procédé (en regardant par exemple ce lien où l'on voit en vert ce que j'ai ajouté en modifiant la page de l'image). Si tu créés une category qui n'existe pas encore, celle ci apparaitra en rouge lorsque tu regarderas le résultat (aprés avoir sauvegardé tes modifications), si tel est le cas, la nouvelle category nécéssite elle-même d'être mise dans une catégorie regroupant les species dans le genre.

Il existe par ailleur des articles regroupant aussi les images en y ajoutant du texte descriptif. Voir Cyclamen repandum comme exemple où j'ai ajouté ton image à celle qui était déja sur l'article. Il y a de nombreux articles à créer sur le même modèle pour chaque Species afin de les décrire. Malheureusement j'en serait incapable, mon rôle étant plus technique. En cas de problème, n'hésite pas à demander à Valery ou à moi sur ma page de discussion.

Bien cordialement --P@d@w@ne 09:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Re ;) bon pour créer un article sur Trillium rugelii par exemple, il existe techniquement deux méthodes. Soit on tape Trillium rugelii dans la boite de recherche sur la gauche et on tape consulter (ou go). Une page t'indiquera si elle existe déja, ou si le terme existe dans d'autres pages. Cette page crée aussi un lien rouge Trillium rugelii qui si tu cliques dessus te permet d'avoir une page vierge au titre Trillium rugelii. Si tu écris un texte et sauvegarde la page, l'article est créé. Soit tu écris et sauvegarde sur une page le texte [[Trillium rugelii]] (le titre désiré entre des doubles crochets), lorsque tu regardes le résultat, il apparait un lien (bleu si l'article existe) rouge. Si tu cliques sur ce lien rouge tu arrives dans la situation précédente avec la page vierge. Tu as le droit de créer des pages par contre tu n'as pas le droit de les supprimer. La suppression étant réservée aux administrateurs. Mais si tu crées par erreur une page, pour la faire supprimer, tu la blanchi en enlevat toutes les informations qu'il y a à l'intérieur avant de sauvegarder, les admins la supprimerons si elle est vide. --P@d@w@ne 13:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:Gladiolus byzantinus02.jpg

Very nice photo, I was unaware of the thinner gladiolii. I have gone and created a separate gallery page for the two photos and put them in there on the same Category Gladiolus. If you have more you can keep them in there. Hope you don't mind. Spring is finally in full force here and the streets and parks look great, however the Platinus acerifolia is still not in leaf so it is the only distraction WayneRay 15:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)WayneRay

Flore des Pyrénées

Salut, j'ai mis la flore des Pyrénées à caractériser dans Category:Flora of Pyrenees. D'autre part je me demande si Image:Gentiana burseri.jpg est bien une Gentiana burseri (ne colle pas avec les autres photos) mais plutôt une Gentiana lutea (colle avec les autres images). A+. Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 10:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

En fait c'est plutôt le contraire : ce sont les autres images de Gentiana burseri qui ne ressemble pas à l'espèce (telle que donnée par Tella Botanica), alors qu'elles sont-elles? Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 10:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Salut, un grand merci pour ton identification de la flore des Pyrénées (j'en ai encore d'autres sous la main). Désolé de ne pas avoir pris les feuilles ou l'inflorescence complète pour certaines d'entre elles. Enfin je suis quand même content que la majorité d'entre elles soient identifiables, il y a beaucoup d'articles qui vont pouvoir être illustré. Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 22:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Salut Reginald, es-tu sur que Image:Vallée du Marcadau 36.JPG est une Campanula recta ou une Campanula hispanica ? Je pencherais plutôt pour une Campanula raineri. Qu'en penses-tu? A+. Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 17:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Recategorisation

Salut Meneerke, merci du message. Les expertises sur les plantes sont rares ici. Ce que je sais c'est qu'il est très difficile d'identifier une image :

• des espèces du même genre se ressemblent de manière similaire (si tu as le temps regarde à category:Pinus mugo dans lequel on met aussi les Pinus uncinata)
• le titre d'une image aussi peut être erroné, or comme il n'est point possible de le changer, cela donne plus de poids. Donc ne te laisse pas impressionner si tu vois un long titre scientifique pour l'image alors que l'image elle-même te semble caractéristique d'une autre espèce
• pour les cultivars, il est possible de faire des sous-catégories du genre nom1 x nom2 mais cela n'est pas nécessaire.

Encore un grand merci pour ton expertise. Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 17:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

pourquoi Crocus aureus est-il catégorisé dans Crocus flavus? Guérin Nicolas ^(messages) 17:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

C'est bizarre sur la wikipedia anglophone, crocus aureus est une redirection qui pointe vers crocus vernus, les deux sont-ils synonymes? Sinon pour la classification des catégories d'espèces : tu écris [[:Category:Crocus]] dans Category:Crocus flavus si tu veux que le titre de cat commence par un "C" dans Category:Crocus, et tu écris [[:Category:Crocus|flavus]] dans Category:Crocus flavus si tu veux que le titre de cat commence par un "f" dans Category:Crocus.

About Narcissus muñozii-garmendiae and Narcissus perezlarae

Dear Reginald: My name is Alfredo Barra and I have studied the spanish wild Narcissus for many years. I don't see any reason to put N. muñozii-garmendiae as subspecie of N. pseudonarcissus; they are species very different. N. muñozii-garmendiae is closer to N. minor subsp. asturiensis, but there are very clear differences between them. In my opinion, the work of the RHS is rather a compilation than a taxonomic one.

Unfortunately errors reproduce as rabbits. I'll write both species in Wikispecies, so anyone could see the differences. Un cordial saludo, Reginald.--Cillas (talk) 07:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I have written to Kew asking to correct this error. His answer was "Thanks Alfredo, I corrected that. Rafaël Govaerts, World Checklist Programme,Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew"--Cillas (talk) 11:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

In relation with the nomenclature of N. perezlarae, I think was fixed adequately by Soler in his work (Descubrimiento de Narcissus perezlarae Font Quer (Amaryllidaceae) en el levante español) about the presence of this plant as a stable species.

All seems to be in order for your deletions, I will have to go look at the ones that exist now, Thans for the e-mail that is better sometimes than on a Talk page. WayneRay (talk) 16:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)WayneRay

Categories of Narcissus images by Cillas

Dear Reginald: I am detecting more changes in the categories of my images and I don't understand why. ¿Do you think that N. confusus or N. eugeniae are not good species? I would like that before change the category, you suggest it in the talk page. Thank you. --Cillas (talk) 08:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Reginald:

I agree with you: there are no consensus. After A. Fernandes and D. A. Webb there are not any taxonomic work on the whole genus. However, there are many partial works about the wild Narcissus in the iberian peninsula. In Spain, the research have been made mainly by Fernández Casas, G. López González and myself, Alfredo Barra. We, the three, work in the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid, but G. López and I have work and published together at first and our relation with Fern. Casas have been of competition and criticism, because our different oppinion about taxons.
However, in some things we agree. So, we published the presence of N. fernandesii in Spain and described the new specie N. baeticus (syn., N. assoanus subsp. praelongus) but at different range. When Fern. Casas described N. cordubensis and N. marianicus, G. López and I said they are synonims of N. fernandesii [1].

As I said, I think that N. hispanicus Gouan is the concolor form of N. bicolor L. (var. concolor Barra) [2]. Also, I said that N. rivas-martinezii is a variety (N. assoanus var. parviflorus (Pau) Barra) and the same for N. palearensis[3].

I could add many more examples but this is too large and my english must be a suffering for you (I try to do it the best possible). When I thougt to load my images of Narcissus in Commons I thougt that it serves to give people good identifications more than good images, but now I doubt. Perhaps you can advise me what to do. Thanks. --Cillas (talk) 10:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Identification only is better suited at WikiSpecies and less at Commons or Wikimedia WayneRay (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)WayneRay

Redirection of pictures from French Wikipedia to Commons? duplicate answer on my page

Hi Wayne,

I want to update the Dutch page Hoge Venen using the content of the corresponding French page Hautes Fagnes and... I am facing a problem.

Some of the pictures on the page Hautes Fagnes, e.g., Gentiane des marais and Croix Hautes Fagnes, are in the public domain of the French Wikipedia, but are not uploaded on Commons.

Is it possible to redirect them to Commons so that I can use them in the Dutch page?

Best regards, --Réginald (To reply) 15:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I looked again at one of the Scilla sibirica pictures in question and the description has a conflict now. Scilla sibirica seems to be Sibirischer Blaustern in German and not Zweiblättriger Blaustern which is Scilla bifolia.

question about PR-template File:Ivo Pauwels gardening.jpg

Hi Meneerke bloem,
thanks for your feedback. But this is a rather typical misunderstanding of this template. It is directed only to re-users of the image to inform them that it is their task to check whether they can use a portrait image of an individual for the intended purpose.(It's actually meant to protect the depicted against abuse of his/her image, and it should be on every image showing a single recognizable person.) It has nothing to do with the question whether you as the uploader are authorized to upload the image. The latter was assumed. Cheers. --Túrelio (talk) 08:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Garbage

There is still some "garbage" on this page that should be cleaned, i.e., unidentified or insufficiently identified pictures, and some garlic bulbs, etc. How would we classify them?

Firstly you can create Category:Garlic or :miscellaneous garlic and connect it to Category:Allium and also Category:Unidentified Allium, also any title that fits the photos and connect them to the main Category:Allium. Go into each photo and change the Category:Allium section to the new one. This should clean up the main Category page.

There was already a page called Category:Unidentified Allium so I moved most of the images in there and you can work on the Garlic and the Onions in Art or Books whatever. Hope this helped. I also found three out of Category and one new species. WayneRay (talk) 14:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Meneerke bloem!

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.

Missing location of "Kok Phra temple"

Thank you very much for providing photos of temples in Thailand. Could you please provide the location (village, town or province) for "Category:Kok Phra temple"? It is advised to name categories in as much the same way as others which have already been named. For naming the category of a certain temple, see "Category:Buddhist temples in Thailand". Also, viewing "Category:Mae Sot temple", it is not clear if this is one temple or photos of several different temples in the town of Mae Sot. Can you please clarify this in the category page please? -Takeaway (talk) 00:10, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Missing locations for Phu Wai cave and Hup Patad cave

Deletion of "Category:Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai province"

It is a pity that you had this category deleted as Chiang Mai province is very big with many temples and Chiang Mai city itself has a huge amount of temples. It was for this reason that the two were separate, where "Category:Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai" (the city) was a subcategory of "Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai province". "Category:Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai" was also a sub-category of "Category:Chiang Mai" (the city). I will now have to try and restore the distinction again. I have re-categorised all the Thai temple media here on Commons with a certain system. Would you please notify me the next time you want to change the categorisation of Buddhist temples in Thailand?

To specify what I meant: There will eventually be many pictures of temples outside of the city in the province. It is therefore that the temples inside the city of Chiang Mai were put in to their own subcategory. The Thai system of naming provinces after their main cities is very confusing for categorising media here on wikimedia commons. Unfortunately, this has taken its toll where it is sometimes not easy to distinguish a province category for a city category. For categorising Buddhist temples, the first to have this distinction between town/city vs province is Chiang Mai. Takeaway (talk) 22:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Phu Wai hermitage

where is it? Thank you writing the location. Jpbazard

Dear Jpbazard,

This former hermitage is located in the outer wall of the Phu Wai cave, which is located in the Ban Rai district, Amphoe Uthai Thani, Thailand (see: File:Amphoe 6106.png).

The Buddhist hermit, who was living in this cavern, has been killed some year ago by unidentified people. The hermitage is now a part of the reserve. The man you see on the picture is a ranger.

With thanks for your greetings and your support, Réginald, also my best wishes to you for a merry christmas (or happy holidays) and a lucky new year!
As in this autumn photo (left) the light at the horizon triumphs over the dark in the foreground, lets hope that next year there will be overall more cooperation than confrontation on Commons and less problems than this year. --Túrelio (talk) 16:18, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
