Hey Anna, thanks a lot for your picture of the solar tree in your home town!!! I loved it. I am working in photovoltaic projects and want to design solar trees but moving ones (tracking), or fix but not necessarily beautiful, but cheap. Thanks again and great work!

File:Ernst Späth.jpg

Hallo Anna reg,
könntest du bitte Namen und Lebensdaten des Künstlers ergänzen, der diese Büste erstellt hat. Steht die Büste eigentlich drinnen oder draußen? --Túrelio (talk) 08:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Die Büste steht drinnen - und ich kann versuchen, die Daten des Künstlers herauszufinden... bis jetzt hab ich nur durch die englische Wikipedia (en:Ernst Späth) gelernt, dass sein Schüler Percy Lavon Julian die Statue in Auftrag geben ließ... --Anna reg (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Die Büste steht drinnen - dann gibt es allerdings ein Problem, wenn der Künstler nicht schon 70 Jahre tot ist, weil Panoramafreiheit da nicht gilt. --Túrelio (talk) 08:21, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

An die Panoramafreiheit hab ich diesmal gar nicht gedacht - und da die Büste erst nach Ernst Späths Tod (1946) aufgestellt wurde, kann der Künstler noch keine 70 Jahre tot sein... ich werd unabhängig davon, ob das Bild nun in Commons bleiben kann oder nicht versuchen, so bald wie möglich was über den Künstler herauszufinden... lg --Anna reg (talk) 11:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

{{VN}}

Hi Anna,

I noticed that you added a translation table to Saxifraga cernua. Recently, a slightly more elegant template, {{VN}} has been created by Rocket000, which is explicitly for this purpose. You may want to use that slightly more "clean" template in your future work here.

Best wishes,

--Slaunger (talk) 13:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for pointing out the new template - all the more as I frequently add translation templates - the only thing I'm not alltogether happy with is the German title of the template (the traduction of 'Vernacular Names' to 'Volkstümliche Namen')... --Anna reg (talk) 19:34, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Anna. Thank you for nominating my image for QI. I'm glad you liked it. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome - I like to nominate nice pictures I find as I think that marked QIs in galleries can help a lot when looking for good pictures to illustrate a subject (and I'm looking forward to mark this one in the gallery Pearl ;->). In my opinion there should be more people nominating QIs as I have the impression that most nominations are made by the photographers themselves... (which is why you were able to have your discussion about nominator and photographer... ;->) --Anna reg (talk) 10:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello Anna! Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them :) I've added the information to the photo File:Hydrangea macrophylla petals.jpg as you suggested. My regards!

Tfioreze

You're welcome. I started looking through your gallery and realised that you include hardly any of your images in galleries - perhaps that would be something you could consider as well? (Of course, not all pictures have to be in a gallery, but images illustrating new points of view can improve a gallery...)

And one more suggestion - have you tried nominating pictures as QI's?

Banská Bystrica

Hallo Anna aus Gleisdorf (wenn es in Gleisdorf eine Aluminiumgissserei gibt, war ich das schon einmal). Ich kam als Angehöriger einer Armeeeinheit, nicht SS, am 29. August 1944 quasi als "Feuerwehr" in die Zips und verbrachte in der Folge einige Monate in der Slowakei, vor allem in Poprad und am Duklapass, aber auch an zahlreichen anderen Orten. Insofern interessierte mich der Wikipediaartikel "Slowakischer Nationalaufstand", auch weil sich die Ereigniss zum 65sten Mal jähren. Auf Anregung hin habe ich den Beitrag zuerst ergänzt und dann gab es eine Aufforderung den Beitrag noch etwas umfassender zu gestalten. Das liegt jetzt als Arbeitsfassung vor. Nun wollte ich das Bild des Mahnmals in Banská Bystrica zur Abrundung des Schlußabschnitte von der Altfassung in meine übertragen, bin dabei aber auf erhebliche Schwierigkeiten gestosse, auch weil ich das Regelwerk nicht durchschaut habe. Man sagte mir. ich benötigte Deine ausdrückliche Erlaubnis das Denkmalbild in meinen Artikel einzustellen, sagte aber nicht ob das formlos oder nach strengen Regeln zu erfolgen hat. Kannst Du mir helfen? MfG--79.212.76.46 15:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Buttons (sewing)

Hi. Did you notice there's also Clothing_buttons? Maybe the two galleries should be merged. Regards, Wutsje (talk) 14:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

This gallery was named Button collecting (clothing buttons) yesterday - and as you can see, I saw that gallery (there's a link at 'see also'), but I decided that a gallery about buttons couldn't be included in a gallery focusing on their importance for collectors. I'm a bit unsure what should be done now, as the new name doesn't include anything about collecting and therefore really seems to suggest a redundant gallery... I see two possibilities - either we include 'button collecting' in the gallery about buttons (and decide which name we like better) or we change the name once again from clothing buttons to eg. button collecting (as Tyranny Sue is correct that the former name was quite long...)

I will suggest both possibilities in the discussion page of Clothing buttons

--Anna reg (talk) 15:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anna, You wrote on my talk page: "I personally don't like links to wikipedias from a gallery - except as interwikilinks ([[en:Button collecting]] [[simple:Button collector]] at the end of the gallery, showing up on the left side just below the tools) or in language templates ({{VN |de= Knöpfe sammeln |en= butoons collecting |fr= }} at the top of the page) - as commons is international... but of course links to other commons-galleries are great! ;-> Though I tend to put them in a See also: [[link]] instead of directly in the headline... but that's probably a matter of taste..."
Could you please direct me to a gallery that illustrates this well? I'm relatively new to the commons & galleries :) Thanks very much.--Tyranny Sue (talk) 00:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, recommending one gallery is a difficult task - as I'm hardly ever completly happy with a gallery - each time I look at one, I see new mistakes or things that should be changed... - and it seems as if I'm not the only one - after all the project 'featured galleries' doesn't seem to be starting soon... ;-> I still recommend the link as there is a list where one can recommend galleries one likes (and I still hope that one day there will be featured galleries...)

A gallery I am quite proud of would be Innere Stadt (Vienna) - and perhaps Papaver as an example of a plant gallery - but as you can see, I just changed a few things in that gallery... ;->

I also really like the featured galleries (and as I think that links are important, I'm helping a bit with the descriptions & links on featured architecture, featured flowers and featured animals - until now nobody complained ;->)

Oh, I just saw that Eye has a language template with interwikilinks - but the template used is the old one... ;-> (The new one -

 Vernacular names

changes its headline to the language you chose)

I hope that I managed to include something helpful in that reply ;-> - and don't hesitate to ask, if you have any questions! --Anna reg (talk) 01:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anna, Thanks for the pointers. I still want to keep the wikipedia links for now. Maybe if one day I paste the whole thing into the wikipedia button collecting article, that will change. I don't mean to be an English-language-snob or anything. Maybe I still don't really understand how Commons works. I'm still learning, and the button page is probably going to be huge eventually (though it will take a lot of time unless I get some help somehow) since buttons were made in so many materials & styles, etc. (arg! It's a huge project.)--Tyranny Sue (talk) 12:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Rosa rugosa

Bonjour, la ville de Melle a une collection de roses anciennes, mais aussi quelques hybrides. Je ne peux pas répondre de façon sure, mais en y réfléchissant bien, ces rosiers doivent plutôt être des hybrides de rosa rugosa (Cinnamomeae). Bonne journée--Rosier (talk) 14:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

File:Rose Vison Blanc 20070601.jpg

Salut Anna,

Je me permet d'écrire en français, ça sera beaucoup plus simple pour moi.

Tout d'abord, félicitation pour tout ton travail de catégorisation concernant les roses. Par contre, je dois avouer que je n'y connais moi-même absolument rien en fleurs. Un jour de printemps, alors qu'il faisait beau, je suis allé me promener dans cette roseraie et j'en ai profité pour prendre les fleurs en photo, en prenant soin de photographier également les petites pancartes avec le nom des fleurs inscrits. Mais parfois, soit il n'y avait pas de pancartes (j'ai marqué "unknown" pour les fleurs concernées), soit il n'y avait qu'une seule pancarte avec deux fleurs différentes aux alentours, et j'ai donc pu me tromper. Par conséquent, si tu penses qu'il y a des erreurs, n'hésites surtout pas à corriger. Okki (talk) 22:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Salut Okki,

Je vais essayer de repondre en francais (je le comprends bien, mais je fais beaucoup d'erreurs en écrivant). :-)

Merci pour tes félicitations - j'avais l'impression que ce travail était necessaire ;->

Mais même si je commence à reconnaître certain rose maintenant, je ne sais pas beaucoup plus sur ces fleures que toi (je m'aide avec help me find roses ;-> ). Avec l'image 'Vison Blanc' j'étais étonnée de trouver une fleure rouge - et une verification sur 'help me find' m'a confirmé que la 'Vison Blanc' est un cultivar blanc... (mais je n'ai aucune idée quelle cultivar l'image presente et alôrs je peux seulement le changer en 'unknown')

Mais comme j'ai déjà éssayer de decider sans succès le cultivar de quelque de tes images, j'ai encore une question concernant les 'petites pancartes': Est-ce qu'ils offrent vraiment seulement le nom du cultivar - et pas par example aussi une date ou une abréviation du groupe de cultivar?

Dans le jardin de rose oú j'ai fait mes photos il y avait l'année de création et des raccourcis comme F., TH. (Tee Hybride = Hybride de thé), Eng. (Englische Rose = Rosier Anglais),... - ça cerait interessant car il y a quelques photos ou 'help me find' me presente plusieurs cultivars et des informations additionelles seraint necessaires pour pouvoir decider le cultivar...

Off center portrait

IMO off center portrait is helpful only when the subject is looking at opposite direction. When the subject is directly looking at the camera it looks odd to me. See the following examples.

• 

  Looking left , off center, subject located at right

• 

  Looking right , off center, subject located at left

• 

  Direct looking, centered.

• 

  Off center , looking at the camera.

There is a whole category dedicated to subject but is not well organized. Category:Portraits by angle between observer and subject's face

--Nevit Dilmen (talk) 21:54, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't think of myself as an expert concerning photographing - but I do like thinking about compositions and therefore I would like to say, that in my opinion, it is not necessarily the direction in which the subject is looking, but the lines/motions the eye would follow - and in this case, the cloth draped over the woman could be a line making a slight off center composition interesting.

I tried to show what I mean in the two following derivatives of the discussed image and a featured picture I found - off center, looking directly into the camera but her body is slightly turned and her clothes draw the eye into the 'empty side' of the image.

Rosa cultivars

Dear Anna,

I am a botanist, but not a specialist of roses. I have added recentlty pictures of two roses, which were not present in Commons:

• 'Ella Elisabeth' to Rosa cultivars E, an obtention of my friend Ivo Pauwels, to which he gave the names of his daughter 'Elisabeth' and granddaughter 'Ella',
• 'Lieve Louise' to Rosa cultivars L, one of the last obtentions of Ivo's friend Louis Lens, to which he gave the name of Ivo's wife ('Lieve' is her first name and 'Louise' her mid-name).

When adding this latter, I found it very strange that the category Rosa cultivars L had subcategories for (only) 5 roses, of which 4 ('Livin' Easy', 'Lavender Dream', 'Lord Byron' and 'Lavaglut') were not present in the main category. That is the reason why I emptied these subcategories and integrated their content in the main category. If you think that I was wrong, do not hesitate to reverse my changes.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 06:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC) PS: Un bonjour amical depuis la Belgique.

Dear Anna,

You have got a "Common Barnstar" for your work on Roses. I have got a "Botany Barnstar" for my classification of (unidentified) species. Our works are thus in a way complementary.

I have encountered similar issues when reviewing a lot of classifications. I then put the species in a category and when there is already a created page with/without category, I put it the corresponding category. However, I really do not know what is the best option for the Rosa cultivars...

Category:Centaurea erythraea has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Crocus cultivars

Dear Anna,

I am not sure that what you are doing in the page Crocus cultivars is OK. In your section Cultivars by alphabet you are actually mixing three different kinds of cultivars:

• The category Crocus cultivars was originally created for the the so-called Crocus vernus cultivars, i.e., the large-flower Dutch crocusses derived from Crocus vernus and Crocus flavus. Perhaps this category should more accurately be renamed Crocus vernus cultivars.
• For the so-called Crocus chrysanthus cultivars‎ a category Crocus chrysanthus cultivars‎ was created. This category is devoted to selections and cultivars from Crocus chrysanthus and hybrids of this species with Crocus biflorus and Crocus aerius, as, e.g., Crocus 'Blue Pearl', 'Snowbunting' or 'Cream Beauty'.
• Selections of other Crocus species should remain related to their wild taxon, i.e., Cocus sieberi for its selections 'Bowles White' and 'Tricolor', Crocus versicolor for its selection 'Picturatus', Crocus tommasinianus for its selections 'Barr's Purple' and 'Ruby Giant', etc.

Best botanical regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 21:56, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Meneerke bloem,
I'm aware that I mixed cultivars of different crocus species in that gallery, as I wanted to make a gallery giving an overview of all crocus cultivars.
Do you think that would be possible, if I include a section about the different groups (cultivars by species with links to the corresponding gallerys) and create Crocus vernus cultivars? Or is it a bad idea to call a crocus cultivar only by its name - without adding the species name (as is done for dahlias, roses,...)?
Best regards, Anna reg (talk) 22:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I see that the problem isn't only concerning the gallery, but also the category crocus cultivars, as I includes Crocus chrysanthus cultivars after seeing that there were two crocus cultivar categories in Category:Cultivars. I still would prefer to create a category & gallery for all cultivars with subcategories for the different groups, but I'm not sure how that 'master-category' should be called in this case. Anna reg (talk) 22:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Anna,

I think that the following would be the best solution.

The current category Crocus cultivars, which already contains the sub-category Crocus chrysanthus cultivars‎, should become a "master-category".
I could create a second sub-category called Crocus vernus cultivars, in which I would put the content of the current category.
Creating other subcategories for the cultivars of other species looks in my meaning redundant, because their cultivar must be associated with their species name, e.g., Crocus versicolor 'Picturatus' (never Crocus 'Picturatus').

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:06, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

So, I have created a category Crocus vernus cultivars, and redirected the page Crocus vernus cultivars to it. The 184 pictures which are currently in the category Crocus cultivars, should be now manually be redirected to the new category Crocus vernus cultivars. I will do it... --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

PS: Dutch Horticultural conventions request that, except for Crocus 'Blue Pearl' (which is very close to Crocus biflorus), Crocus chrysanthus cultivars sould be called Crocus chrysanthus 'Skyline', Crocus chrysanthus 'Gipsy Girl', etc. According to he RHS conventions Crocus 'Gipsy Girl', etc. is OK. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 09:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

A couple of pics in the category Crocus cultivars were actually Crocus chrysanthus cultivars. The remaining are presumably all Crocus vernus cultivars.

Most of the unclassified pics in category Crocus and in category Unidentified Crocus are presumably Crocus vernus cultivars too.

I have to check all these pics one by one... --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 11:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Reginald,
thanks for your help - I will correct the names in the galleries & add links to the species galleries with a 'cultivar'-section (as I did for Crocus tommasinianus). The pictures in the new gallery Crocus vernus cultivars should be correct (I will check with your categorisation as soon as I have some time).
Best regards & have a nice weekend!

Fotos der Slowakei

Hallo Anna, ich bin durch Fotos aus Ružomberok auf dich gestoßen. Ich bin gerade dran und erstelle für die gesamte Slowakei Listen über die de:denkmalgeschützte Objekte in der Slowakei ähnlich jenen in Österreich. Logischerweise fehlen mir da noch jede Menge Fotos ;-) - nachdem du schreibst, dass dich die Nordslowakei nach wie vor interessiert, vielleicht hast du da auch da ein bissl Zeit übrig und kannst die Listen ergänzen. --gruß aus dem Wienerwald K@rl (talk) 12:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Karl, nein, nicht wirklich... nur nicht ganz sicher, wie ich am Besten drauf antworte, nachdem mir nicht ganz klar ist, was für Hilfe du dir vorstellst.

Ich hab mir die Listen gestern ein bisschen angeschaut (echt detalliert!) und gesehen, dass für den Prešovský kraj (und damit die Gegend, aus der ich am meisten Bilder hab - allerdings nicht unbedingt gezielt von 'denkmalgeschützten Objekten' ;->) die Listen alle noch zu erstellen sind. Meinst du mit 'ergänzen' Hilfe beim Erstellen der Listen, die deutsche Beschreibung & das Koordinaten raussuchen oder die Bebilderung - durch Suchen auf commons (falls du das nicht gleich beim erstellen machst) bzw. durchforsten der eigenen Bilder?

Liebe Grüße, Anna reg (talk) 16:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Übrigens - ich glaube, ein Template für die verschiedenen Krajs wäre auch noch sinnvoll, so dass man nicht auf die Seite Denkmalgeschützte Objekte in der Slowakei gehen muss, um von einem Kraj in den nächsten zu wechseln...

Hallo Anna, ich bin derzeit dran, die Rohlisten für den letzten Kraj, nämlich den Presovský kraj zu erstellen. Mit rund 3.500 (siehe de:Portal:Slowakei/Denkmallisten ist das der umfangreichste. Die mach e ich selbst. Geholfen wäre mir mit Ergänzungen von Fotos, Koordinaten oder auch Beschreibungen. Da ich selbst SK-0 bin, ist mir mit jeder Übersetzung geholfen ;-) - User:MarkBA hilft mir dabei sehr. Er hat schon eine ganze Liste für die begriffe unter de:Diskussion:Denkmalgeschützte Objekte in der Slowakei gemacht. Ich wollte eigentclih dass auch auf der slowakischen Wiki die entsprechenden Listen gemacht werden. Nur dort mangelts an Kapazitäten.

Morning, I tinkered up a little template to save us quite a bit of typing: {{Rosa}}. {{Rosa|Aloha}} produces [[Rosa 'Aloha'|'Aloha']] and {{Rosa|Schneewittchen|Iceberg}} produces [[Rosa 'Schneewittchen'|'Iceberg']]. --Pitke (talk) 09:57, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Sounds great! (even though I don't really type that very often - you probably already saw my empty |[[Rosa ''|'']], )

Would it be possible to include the 'bracket rose links' (e.g. Rosa 'Flamingo' (1979) in that template? That would help me a lot! Ideally in a form where even the brackets aren't necessary - something along the line of {{Rosa b|Flamingo 1979|Flamingo}}...

--Anna reg (talk) 10:19, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Easy enough. {{Rosa2|Flamingo|1979}} produces [[Rosa 'Flamingo' (1979)|'Flamingo']] and {{Rosa2|Flamingo|1979|foobar}} produces [[Rosa 'Flamingo' (1979)|'foobar']]. --Pitke (talk) 11:44, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Great! Thanks a lot!
While I have already worked with templates (and even created some - like {{Rosa cultivars TOC}} - after a schema I found) I don't know that much about creating them...

Helford River

Hi,

There's a problem with your otherwise good work on the Cornish cats I've noticed: Specifically Category:Helford River and Category:Helford Estuary. This is because w:Helford River is not a true river (its a ria). The Helford River is entirely tidal, and has no non-tidal element, which means the Helford Estuary is non-existent.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks - I tried to check on Google Earth and thought that I had found one of the creeks entering the estuary called Helford...

I'll correct that mistake immediately. Anna reg (talk) 12:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I just stumbled about the Helford River pictures that led me to the creation of the Helford Estuary category (File:The Helford River - geograph.org.uk - 418453.jpg). Of course I don't know if the picture is named correctly. Anna reg (talk) 11:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

One issue is there are two streams at the head of the estuary, and neither is marked on maps at any scale. If one is the "Helford", there's no obvious way to identify it as such. Indeed, the Environment Agency considers the other one to be the main stream (but doesn't label it, so its not clear if its the "Helford"). I haven't found any indications from reliable sources that either of those streams is the "Helford", and if one is the Helford which one it is. In the absence of any evidence, it would be best to treat both as unnamed streams. If evidence is found, great, it can be handled then.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Plymouth Sound

A little more irritating than the above: Plymouth Sound is just the large bay to the south of the city, and not any of the estuary complex.

The Tamar Estuary is exceptionally complex in terms of sheer number of names that apply to various sections. The Hamoaze is roughly the bit from Tamar Bridge to the mouth of the Tamar - but excludes all the side creeks in that stretch.

I'll probably have a bash at this myself in next few days.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Done a bit of research to work it out. The largest conservation designation covering this ares is the Plymouth Sound and Estuaries SAC, which treats the Sound as distinct from the estuaries. Thankfully, the term Tamar Estuary is used to cover everything north of Cremyll (including the Lynher and Tavy estuaries) - so Category:Tamar Estuary is useable as a catch-all.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:58, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

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

Clematis patens

Hi Anna! I see that you have put a number of Clematis cultivars under the Category:Clematis patens. Only images of the true wild species and garden selections of the that species should be placed here. Hybrids involving Clematis patens and other species are usually placed in the Category:Clematis Early Largeflowered Group (there are exceptions). A good source of info is Clematis on the Web Uleli (talk) 18:04, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the link - I must admit, that in this case I just followed the File names (there were pictures of the cultivars in the category Clematis patens - most of them called Clematis patens 'cultivar name'). I will try to check a bit more in the future... Anna reg (talk) 18:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

As a token of appreciation

	As a token of appreciation
	Thank you for attention to my photos and QI-nominations. Kor!An (talk) 21:31, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

You are welcome. I really like your pictures - and their identifications! (Which makes a good picture even more valuable...) :-> Anna reg (talk) 08:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
