reticulomyxa filosa
hi Totodu74, your great picture File:Reticulomyxa filosa.jpg shows a species, first descriped (published) in 1949 and the first edition of the book was published in 1931, 4th ed. in 1954. i would love to get an explanation about "1900s" and "Richard Roksabro (1886-?)" (what does that mean?) in relation to the (claimed) PD-art-status of the file. i was wondering how that can be the case and maybe you, as the uploader, can help me to figure that out :), best regards --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 23:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
pity for the beautiful picture, i was hoping to have overlooked something important but thx for your quick response & action (o:, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 16:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Requests
Can you make derivatives of just the sparrows in File:Passer euchlorus, Petronia flavigula.jpg and File:Gecinus gorii, Passer yattii.jpg? And can you make a combination (like the Saxaul Sparrow image; in this order) File:PasserEuchlorus.svg, File:PasserLuteus.svg, and File:PasserEminibey.svg? Thanks! By the way, I'm a bit surprised the French Wikipedians have made fr:Moineau mélanure a good article: there's a lot more to add. —innotata 20:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not very the most capable for this kind of job, but I tried to make a thing not too aberrant on File:Passer euchlorus.jpg. For the Passer moabiticus yattii I'd look maybe tomorrow, for this one there is the possibility of cut out the bird and its branch (with a white background) unless you find it ugly? For the three vectorial birds (I have already prepared a file but I want to be sure) you want something like File:SaxaulSparrowNominatestoliczae.svg?
- For the Cape Sparrow, the good article label is not too requiring, and since the content give infos on each aspect of the animal, with good sources, presentation, etc. it's OK. Anyway it's a good thing to warn me, feel free to let me know when the article will have to be updated. Totodu74 (talk) 23:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. Actually, though, I was thinking you could remove the background, like a few of your Recerches sur la faune des Madagascar images. For the vector images, yes. I'll be sure to let you know; it's the next one I want to do, so I'll work on it after a month-long trip (to Europe) soon. —innotata 23:39, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- In fact I was a little afraid to distort the "old" style of the image with a white background (as for Recerches sur la faune des Madagascar). I'll do it as fast as possible. For the svg, is File:PasserEuchlorusPasser luteusPasser eminibey.svg OK? No problem for the Cape Sparrow, safe journey!

Passer euchlorus -
Passer yattii -
Passer euchlorus, P. luteus & P. eminibey
Three proposition, feel free to tell me what's wrong. Totodu74 (talk) 13:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- They look good, except that the luteus may be too small (which looks like it is something in the original). I'll also make simple crops, but these will be better for things like a table of Passer species. —innotata 13:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, I did not pay attention thinking they were created at a scale, but in fact in this case the Chesnut Sparrow should be the smaller! I correct. (
Done) - Otherwise, Berichard has found some sparrow on Flickr, here for example, but also here ([1] ff.) a... strange one. Totodu74 (talk) 14:16, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've put the euchlorus in use in the table for Passer I'm developing at en:User:Innotata/Passer. As you can see, I've got images for all the Passer except one, cordofanicus. I'll finish the table by changing a few images and adding text on distribution and appearance soon, and I'll let you know so it can be copied to fr.wikipedia. I've added the combination to en:Chestnut Sparrow to illustrate that that the three sparrows may have formerly formed a cline. So these are clearly going to improve the illustrations in the sparrow articles. For the sparrow on Flickr, it's not strange, it's just a Passer montanus that's just had a bath. —innotata 15:01, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- For cordofanicus, it's pretty hard to find an illustration, unless create a svg from a picture... or find a PD-old... (unsuccessful for now)... or ask to a museum...? Totodu74 (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- For sure. I haven't even found non-free images on the Internet (though it was the same for shelleyi and hemileucus). I expect an old illustration exists; it's rather similar to other rufous sparrows, which I think is why Shyamal chose not to draw it. I'll look for an image when I get around to working on the article, and will be looking for sources. It's already become quite something on my mind, every time I look at my charts of sparrow images, or Category:Passer, with the one redlink at the top. I'm guessing your suggestion of asking museums is the only possibility other than old illustrations: this is the middle of the Sudan, after all, and I doubt anybody has photos of the bird now. There are only a few skins around, though, most at Tring I believe. Pretty amazing what I've managed to find, and what other users have contributed already, though. —innotata 20:07, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Anyway not a lot in the original desctiption (rather special, see this addendum)... and yes, the middle of Sudan is not really the perfect place to holiday or to take photographs... We must see the good side of things : There are a potentially original description and distribution map (p. 79 or 90) to illustrate the article. :) Totodu74 (talk) 15:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, I have the whole book. Nice to know that the Rufous Sparrow part is free to access—I had no idea Poyser published these samples. —innotata 19:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for pointing this out. I'll link this in the articles where I can; I've been looking through the others, and there's plenty of material for Wikipedia, as well as samples that have already confirmed I want to buy one of the books if possible. —innotata 19:35, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I've just nominated two illustrations by G. E. Lodge for deletion here: he died in 1954, so these won't be out of copyright in their source till either 2015 or 2025. —innotata 17:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
