Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi Meneerke - these two pics File:Pinus pinaster immature cones 01.jpg and File:Pinus pinaster male cones 01.jpg are of two different trees of two different species ;-) In immature cones 01.jpg, note the nearly white bud scales (on the shoot tips) which are straight, and in male cones 01.jpg, note the dark orange-red bud scales, which are strongly recurved. The first is Pinus nigra, whereas the second is Pinus pinea or Pinus pinaster (hard to tell which, but the needle length and thickness is closer to P. pinea). Also compare the needle basal sheaths, long and pale in immature cones 01.jpg, and short and dark in male cones 01.jpg. Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 09:55, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! The Bay of the Somme is not too far north for Pinus pinea (in cultivation, it is hardy north to at least 56°N in southern Scotland), but if the crown is the wrong shape, then I'm happy with it being P. pinaster. - MPF (talk) 16:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Picea breweriana

Hi Meneerke - thanks! I thought I could see the shoots should be pendulous from the background as well, but I am happy to accept your orientation of them. I'm not sure what's happened to File:Picea breweriana (flowers).jpg, from the file history your original upload was correctly oriented, but it was rotated by someone else on 15 December 2011; I instructed rotatebot to rotate it back again yesterday, but the page history is showing that rotatebot is not working at the moment, so it didn't work. It probably means your rotatebot instruction won't work either. But what is even stranger, is if I click on the thumbnail of your original 15 April 2009 upload, it still comes up mis-rotated. That I do not understand! PS are you also finding Commons to be extremely slow today? I am finding it hard to view any images; they take several minutes to upload, instead of the usual few seconds :-( MPF (talk) 19:15, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Sternbergia lutea

Bonjour, Reginald. -- Quelques mots pour vous remercier d'avoir prêté attention à ma photo de crocus prise en septembre et d'y avoir adjoint, avant-hier, le nom binomial de la plante. Le fichier a ainsi davantage de chances de servir à quelqu'un sur Wikipédia. Comme je vous l'ai déjà dit, je suis plus passionné de photo que de botanique et, malgré mes efforts en ce domaine et l'aide de la page "Quelle est cette plante ?", je reste très incertain de mes faibles et lointaines connaissances concernant la flore... Merci donc au spécialiste que vous êtes, depuis les campagnes de ma Charente du sud, puisque vous la connaissez un peu. -- Très cordialement. --JLPC (talk) 13:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Lilium bulbiferum

Dear Réginald,
I noticed your (deleted) message regarding my recently uploaded fire lily photos. The determination feature of the bulbils is not very reliable, unfortunately. Even the subspecies/variety croceum often has bulbils, but not as many as bulbiferum. Also, the blossom's color is more orange instead of red and the typical locations are sandy fields in the plains instead of rocky spots in the hill country. My photos were taken in the northern German lowlands. The site has long been known among botanists and is considered to be one of the most important ones. The Dutch Fire Lily specialist Fred Bos comes to visit there regularly. So, I think, the determination of the subspecies is absolutely confirmed.
Best regards, Fice (talk) 10:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Fice,

I have deleted my own message because I realised that I was wrong, when I saw that your pictures were indeed of the (true) var. croceum, which is present (and threatened!) in the rye field of Northern Netherlands and Germany.

I have met the Lilium bulbiferum var. croceum in the French Alps, with light orange flowers and no bulblets, and the var. bulbiferum in the Dolomites, with orange-red flowers and a lot of bulblets.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 16:28, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Centaurea dealbata or Psephellus dealbatus?

Dear Réginald, I stumble on this discussion by chance. Centaurea dealbata was first described by Carl Ludwig Willdenow 1765-1812. It was later reassigned by Karl (Carl) Heinrich Emil (Ludwig) Koch 1809-1879. The information on Wiki commons (Category:Psephellus dealbatus includes C. dealbata as a synonym, while Category:Centaurea does not include C. dealbata) is not consistent with Wikipedia (which does not have an entry on Psephellus, nor is it listed as a synonym of Centaurea, while C. dealbata (vernacular names Persian Cornflower, Whitewash Cornflower) has its own entry and is listed as assigned to Centaurea). This is confusing and inconsistent. The question is what the pervailing opinion is about the validity of the genus Psephellus. I am not an insider, but this article suggests that Psephellus is accepted. So does this website. I hope this helps. Met vriendelijke groet, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 11:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Cyclamen hederifolium in Sardinia

Hello, you categorized my as yet unidentified Cyclamen image from Sardinia as C. hederifolium. If you are sure about the identification I will rename the file and alter the description accordingly. I'd appreciate a brief notice either here or on my own discussion page. Thanks in advance, --Pjt56 (talk) 17:26, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! --Pjt56 (talk) 09:12, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, so far I knew Cyclamen only as a potted plant. Interesting to learn that it also grows easily in gardens. I have to try it! Thanks again, --Pjt56 (talk) 15:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Dracunculus vulgaris

greetings Meneerke bloem. It is not a native plant of Ireland but it has established here.see Reynolds, S.C.P. (2002). A catalogue of alien plants in Ireland. pp. [4], 1-413. Dublin: National Botanical Gardens, Glasnevin.I have placed it in a new category (Introduced species (Ireland). Is this ok with you? My object is to provide habitus/close-up illustrations of all the flowering plant species found in Ireland regardless of where they were photographed.Thanks for the hint.Best regards Notafly (talk) 20:33, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

New Message and need for some assistance

I am back online after three years off the internet, sorry I could not get in touch with you. Hello again and thanks for keeping in touch, I think it was Linkedin? There was some confusion while I was gone and some @#$# on Wikipedia has banned me so now I can't edit there?? I am currently uploading botanical photos related to a 1980 manuscript on Botanical Gardens of Canada which is an article on Wikipedia called List of botanical gardens in Canada. As I am unable to attach photos to theaarticles I had written, could you place some relevant ones for me? E-mail me at materia @ live.ca Thanks so much and hope you are doing well.

Juniperus sabina locations

Hi Meneerke - thanks for adding the location data! It is one of those species very common in cultivation but rarely photographed in the wild, so in the absence of location data, I assumed it was likely cultivated. Whereabouts is Queyras?

Leea > Anacardium

Hi! The following photos require some attention:

• 
• 
• 

Long time ago, I came across these photos and recognized that they could not be Leea guineensis. However, I could not tell which species actually this is. Recently having seen flowers of Anacardium occidentale, it is quite clear to me now, that at least it is the same genus. I would not hesitate to identify these photos as A. occidentale, if they were taken in Africa or tropical Asia, but you might have visited tropical America at some occasion. As far as I know, all species of Anacardium are neotropical and only A. occidentale is cultivated at a wide scale also in the Old World. Anyway, you will know where these photos come from.
