[edit] Remark on licensing
Some of my offered photographs and illustrations are marked with a reference to the Museum Wiesbaden - Natural History Collection (MWNH) (Naturhistorische Sammlung), where I'm working. In a case like that the object is housed in this collection, but the photograph is made by myself and the work is out of copyright. In addition there is usually no common copyright on natural objects, like in art. Natural objects are collected and stored for scientific studies and education.

[edit] Categories and articles
I'm specially interested in the catgeory Diptera (Flies). So I try to support the arrangement system of images. Some topics have specific guidelines for the organisation of media, such as plants and animals which fall under the WikiProject Tree of Life. Therefore I use only categries for the images up to the systematic level of families (e.g. Category:Asilidae). Identified species are only stored in articles (e.g. Dioctria atricapilla) - without adding a category. Unidentified flies are stored in the category Unknown flies (unfortunately a colloquialism) or the according family (e.g. Unknown Asilidae). So we prevent a redundant and confused order. Visitors are able to find the wanted images very easy and aren't constrained to search in both, articles and categories. As you see on Diptera and its familes - most users accept this procedure. There are several arguments pro and contra. Nevertheless users discussed that very detailed and the conclusion is this system. It's used for most of the biological species to give them an order. The proposed policy with discussion at the Tree of Life project can be found here:
- Tree of Life - Images
- Tree of Life - Articles
- Tree of Life - Categories
- Tree of Life - Bot proposal
- User talk
As long as we will not have a better system, please accept it and help to sustain the order, which is very important for inexperienced users. Thank you very much.
