[edit] Image:Xeriscape2.jpg

Thanks for pointing out that I'd forgotten the license. Silly me! It's fixed now.

By the way, since I'll bet you use the same message often, I suggest changing this sentence: "Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above?" I think it would be better English with either "the page linked to above" (because you link to a page) or just "the page linked above". —JerryFriedman 00:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! --Panther 06:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I rotated this image for you. WjBscribe 12:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Nothing special. You can reupload a corrected file to the same name if you make a mistake. So all I did was save the image, rotate it in an image program on my computer (I think most allow you to do that) and then reuploaded it. WjBscribe 14:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apple Preview

Hi Jerry,

I think I've found the problem - Apple Preview is indeed not really rotating images. From [1]:

Some of my images don't keep the vertical or orizontal orientation when displayed in Slide Show. Some applications (for example Apple Preview) doesn't really rotate images but, instead they use a virtual rotation to preserve image quality. This mean, that when they apply a rotation, that image is not really modified and Slide Show simply show it as it is. Virtual rotation is an EXIF parameter and you can see it in Slide Show looking at the EXIF info. Please be sure that the images are really rotate using an image editor (for example Photoshop) before to use it in Slide Show.

Probably when you use all mac stuff, it all follows the same as Apple Preview and uses the EXIF info, so it all appears fine, but MediaWiki obviously doesn't.

Dear Jerry,

did you receive my e-mail that pointed out some ID issues with your African bird photos? JMK 21:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ID

Added notes to my page. JMK 10:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude, but i thought you should know... You also added the "misidentified" Bustard pic to the en:Lissotis infobox (when you created that page, it would seem), so you might want to change the description in there. -- Jokes Free4Me 07:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Vanellus armatus 2.jpg at QI

Depth of fild is a natural thing. The most improtand element of my suggestion is the head is looks unsharp too on this high resolution. This is the main part so it must be enough sharp, may if you use a resize it can be done. --Beyond silence 09:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Resizing Vanellus armatus

If you look smaller size it looks more sharp than full view. --Beyond silence 08:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for identifying all of my photographs. Do you recommend any book for north American birds identification? --Dori - Talk 17:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: location of curlew photo

Hello Jerry, thanks for your help. The problem with the curlew photo is that I made this picture in a zoo, so I can`t say where this bird actually comes from. The only thing I can tell you is that it was in an open air part of the Stuttgart zoo in summer. I know that might not be too helpfull. On a identification page on the German wikipedia they wrote that it is most likely a Numenius phaeopus....but they were not really sure. Would you agree with that? --AngMoKio 21:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Churchwide4rotcrop.jpg

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

[edit] Olive Thrush picture

I noted on your image Image:Turdus olivaceus1.jpg that you hoped someone would upload a better photo. I have just transferred one from Flickr which is quite good: Image:Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus) on lawn.jpg. It doesn't show the lighter colouration on the front of the bird (perhaps a case of sexual dimorphism?) though. Richard001 (talk) 00:44, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Goodyera repens, Herrick Twp.jpg

I agree with you that this is not G. repens, but I can't seem to be able to differentiate it from G. tesselata, the other native Goodyera orchid in Ontario (giant / checkered). In the meantime, I have changed the info to show that it is G. oblongifolia, which it probably is. Fungus Guy (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] File source is not properly indicated: File:Kwezal_engraving.png

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Kwezal_engraving.png, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

If you created the content yourself, enter {{own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-1.0+}} or {{PD-self}} to release certain rights to your work.

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so.

Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hello JerryFriedman!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.
