[edit] Copying files to the Commons

Hello Ltshears,

when you do this, please use the CommonsHelper to make sure you copy ALL the required information. You can't just say "from de.wikipedia" as a source.

Also with Image:463px-Entlebucherin aus dem entlebuch.jpg, please make sure you copy across the original high resolution image - not a thumbnail (like the name suggests). Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, Sorry.. --Ltshears 20:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cats vs. galleries

hi,

i'm just checking the spider categories for inconsistencies, and see that you created categories for species, and put them in genus categories, which you put in family categories (example: Category:Aphonopelma hentzi). that's how i did it the first time, too. but it's much better to do it the following way: create a gallery page for a species, put all the pictures in there. then link it directly to the family category (Aphonopelma hentzi). that way, a viewer can easily see what's there, what's not, and the category tree does not get too deep. thanks for uploading spider pictures :) if you have any questions, drop me a note. cheers :) --Sarefo 20:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


hi again,

one way to create a gallery page is to enter the page name (eg, Aphonopelma hentzi) into the search field and hit "Go". then click on the red link of the same name. below the empty text field you have several templates you can use. a minimum gallery page should look like this:

 <gallery>
 Image:My Aphonoplma hentzi picture.jpg
 </gallery>
 
 [[Category:Theraphosidae]]

one thing that i got wrong too when i was new (half a year ago) is that i thought when i link to a non-existing category, it gets automatically created. not so: you still have to create the category (categories should at least contain a link to a higher category). i got confused because when you link pages to a non-existing category, and then click on this category, you *do* get all the pages that link to it.

hoped to help, contact me if you there's anything else you want to know :) --Sarefo 22:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sarefo, I just saw your comments on how a species page should be categorized and they confused me.

My thoughts before I read what you wrote:
1. Put a gallery into the category for that species and for that genus.
2. Make the genus category a sub category of the next higher taxon.

I like this because it makes the species page an element of the species category and it makes it an element of the genus category where it is reasonable that one would would expect to see the species pages as subcategories. I also like it because it provides convenient links to the species and genus categories on the species page.

This results in all lower taxons being sub categories (or deeper) of the family.

You seem to have a different idea. Is your idea established Wikimedia policy? Is your idea different than what I suggested above? It seems like you are suggesting that every species page should be a direct category of the family. Is this right? What is the advantage of skipping over intermediate taxons to make the species pages direct sub categories of the family categories?

Thanks, Dave

[edit] Dutch Shepherd Dogs

Hi, you put three pictures on commons: Image:DutchShepherdShortCoat.jpg, Image:DutchShepherdLongCoat.jpg and Image:DutchShepherdRoughCoat.jpg. In the description you wrote the source of the pictures. But these pictures were made by me and put on the Dutch Wikipedia in april 2005: [1]. Maybe you can change the source? Greetings, Teunie 22:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

My appology.. when i first downloaed the pictures i got them from the dogwiki site.. but apparently the website has changed since i had linked them up.. i have now put the correct source link..

Thanks! Teunie 22:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Juncos, etc.

Hi Tricia; If known, the addition of the location to the description of biota pictures makes them more valuable. For example, Image:Junco 003.jpg appears to be the Junco hyemalis subsp. hyemalis. A location in eastern North America would support that ID. Best wishes, Wsiegmund

Thank you Wsiegmund.. i have fixed it to say the right supspecies..
Hi again, thanks for adding the subspecies. I might point out, though, that another reason to include the location in the description is that some articles have "biota (or biology) of <place>" sections, e.g., en:Yosemite_National_Park#Biology. Images with locations may be used to illustrate such sections. Also, they may be useful to illustrate the migration or the range of a species. Best wishes, Wsiegmund 23:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pochard

Hi Ltshears: Just wanted to let you know that the duck you've got ID'ed as a Pochard is in fact a Canvasback! Its back is much too white for a Pochard, and its bill is all black—and very long and sloping. A Pochard's bill would have a pale band across the middle. And be much shorter, with a pronounced curve... MeegsC 17:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

thank you!

[edit] Where were the animal photos taken?

Impressive portfolio! May I ask if you took the majority of these photos in zoos? What zoos in particular? If you feel up to the task, could you specify on the image page, and/or add them to the appropriate category, like at Category:Edinburgh zoo? I don't want you to feel pressured into it, though, and thanks for your contributions so far :) Jack · talk · 01:27, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes i can do that.. most of the photos were taken at Louisville Zoo in Kentucky... and a few other zoos...

thanks Trish

Thank You!

[edit] Louisville Zoo

Two compliments and a note (which gives me a 2:1 positiveness ratio):

  • Your images are very good.
  • Releasing images into the public domain makes you a man (or woman) after my own heart, and is most commendable.
  • Category:Louisville Zoo is not really a category page. Rather, it is a gallery, and thus should have been named simply Louisville Zoo. Images are added to categories by having [[Category:Something]] added to their Image: page. You might want to read Commons:Categories. Of course, you needn't worry about it (I've asked on COM:VP that it be moved), but it might be worth noting in the future.

Hello!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. 78.48.8.63 09:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Avoiding redundant categories

Hello. Images in categories like "Category:Hurricane Katrina aftermath in the Upper 9th Ward of New Orleans" do not need to be in "Category:Hurricane Katrina" as well, as they are already in a more specific subcategory of "Category:Hurricane Katrina". Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 18:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

My appoligies, i didn't realize they were already in a hurricane katrina category..--Ltshears (talk) 18:30, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
There is redundancy also in the dog breeds tree. You have made several good new categories, and putted the gallery-pages correctly horizontally in the corresponding bottom category. But you left the gallery-pages also in the parent categories and these are redundant at the gallery-pages. That is the reason that the dog breed appears twice in the parent category (once correctly as category, once redundantly as gallery-page.) I reformed for you as an exemple the Category:Laika (dog breed) removing redundant categories at the pages. Visulally you may check if a category has its correspnding gallery-page by the adduct(1P,xF). Also as an exemple I filled up the gallery-page Laika, starting from Category:Laika. You may look how I managed this Laika (dog breed) category (studing the history of some pages and images as well) and decide if that is a stable structure which may extend (as time passes by, no urgency about it) to the whole Dogs category tree. NB. All things I did, are revertable and may be reverted if you wish so. Greetings, Havang(nl) (talk) 20:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
So are you saying that the gallery pages should be removed from category:Dog breeds ? and only the category pages should be there? I am a little confused because most of the gallery and category pages were already in there twice. Please let me know. --Ltshears (talk) 20:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
That's the idea, yes. The bottom category contains the page, and by removing the reduncandy, no information gets lost; the parent pages will show only once the dog breeds, which is convenient. The Idea is: categories are labels which send the image (intermediately from parent categories by refinement) to the right adresses: the bottom categories; the newly incoming images in the bottom category gradually fill up the gallery-page linked to this bottom-category. This process fits semi-automatisation, needed to deal with the great number of image-uploads and there are a few other advantages. There is no urgency, and the old and new system may coexist without conflict. Havang(nl) (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
An example how it may look like : Category:Cities in the Faroe Islands. A tool you may use for seeing all pictures in subcategories of [[:Category:Laika (dog breeds) is CATSCAN, see f.i. [3]. Unfortunately, CATSCAN is veeeery slow these days. Havang(nl) (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging categories

It seems that Barzoï and Borzoi are one and the same dog breed, Borzoi being the english name. If so, then the categories may be merged. This can be asked by putting Merge|:Category:Borzoi between {{ }} on the Category:Barzoï page. I let you do this (if Barzoï=Borzoi). Havang(nl) (talk) 12:42, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Populate category

  • The populate category template helps categorising images on pages tagged with Media needing categories. If gallery-page and category have the same name, you put just populate category between {{ }} on the category page. You have seen an exemple at Category:Yakutian Laika.
  • If gallery-page and category have different names, you put populate category|gallery=name between {{ }} on the category page. Try out and put populate category|gallery=Old English Sheepdog between {{ }} at Category:Bobtail. The bot runs every hour, so within two hours the images will be categorised (if wiki does work). Havang(nl) (talk) 14:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the all the help --Ltshears (talk) 15:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move category

Gallery pages can be renamed which results in a hard redirect. But renaming categories implies adaptingthe category in all images. Fotr that, we use the template Move|new name|reason between {{ }}. For instance, if you should choose to rename Category:Bobtail as Category:Old English Sheepdog, then you put at [:Category:Bobtail]] Move|:Category:Old English Sheepdog|offical english name (or whatever reaeson you have) between {{ }} and a bot will create the new category, make a soft redirect and move all images from old to new category. (PS. This is different from merge, where both categories exist and contain images) Havang(nl) (talk) 18:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I saw you emptying a category and move the images by hand, but does that move the category links everywhere? There may be pages with: see also Category:Stabij‎. Those lines are not corrected if you do manual moves. So it is better to ask by using templates move (new name) or merge (two categiries put together), then all links will be adapted. Anyhow, I have asked for speedydeletion of Category:Stabij‎ with yet another template speedydelete|reason (again, put between {{ }}). Havang(nl) (talk) 19:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, thank you.. I tought that page didn't seem necessary to me since i thought wetterhond was a better name so i created that one and moved the images.. And that category had pictures of some wetterhonds and some stabyhouns and i am not sure what Stabij means.. --Ltshears (talk) 19:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
nl:Stabij, stabijhond or stabyhoun, ( dutch hond and frisian houn = english dog). This dog breed is according to the dutch article not very much different from wetterhond, and sometimes one does not make a diffference. See the infobox at nl:Stabij. Havang(nl) (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
ahh, thank You! --Ltshears (talk) 21:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Exemple of Soft redirect

I have retired the speedydelete and made a soft redirect from Category Stabij to Category Stabyhoun by putting the template Categoryredirect|Stabyhoun at Category:Stabij. See there.

[edit] A question

Dear Trisha M Shears,

I am going through the wonderful pictures you have posted to Wikipedia. I noticed that some were released into public domain by you. Therefore, I'd like to ask you a question: I volunteer as a contributor for Czech/English 100% non-commercional, educational project called BioLib, and having noticed that some genera there lack a picture, I'd like to ask if it'd be possible to upload there those made by you which are in the public domain (naturally, you'd be fully credited there, it can even be (c) there, should you wish that). Your permission would be monumentally helpful and quite salubrious.

Best wishes from --HTO (talk) 01:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC) (neznalekab@gmail.com)

[edit] Photo Leptoptilos dubius

Hello Ltshears!

I would like to inform you, that the picture of the "Greater adjutant" you have uploaded from flickr (Adjutant_Stork.jpg) DOES NOT display the greater adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius) but the lesser adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus)! I know, that this picture (and several more) are shown all around the Web as the greater adjutant or in German Argala-Marabu. This species identification is wrong. This bird shows very obviously features which are typical of the lesser adjutant (or in German Sunda-Marabu), especially the horn plate on the top of his head, the form of the bill (not convex!) and some typical plumage features. I have already informed the authors on flickr about the identification mistake.

kind regards

[edit] Lorikeet identity

Re: File:Forsten's Lorikeet.jpg. We have been having a discussion about the identity of this lorikeet; see Bird 217 at en:Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Birds#Birds_for_identification_.2821.29. We have been trying to confirm its identity, and your views will be welcome. Snowmanradio (talk) 20:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Would it be prudent to put your image that is in question in the an unidentified birds category and amend the image description, at least temporarily? Snowmanradio (talk) 08:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
That is fine --Ltshears (talk) 13:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] duplicate

Hi Ltshears,
was there any special reason why you tagged File:Jambu Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus jambu) at Louisville Zoo.jpg for deletion as duplicate, even though the file is less compressed than the other duplicate File:JambuFruitDove.jpg ? --Túrelio (talk) 20:58, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Well for starters it is my image.. 2nd , the image I tagged as a duplicate had less things linking to it then the other one so i figured it would be easier to just remove the one that required less moving at other places, and i didn't realize that the kb was different i looked at the dimenstions and thought it was exactly the same.. Either way i have switched it now.. And sorry for the mix up... --Ltshears (talk) 22:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

I talked to Admin Lupo (albeit indirectly) about your request to be a flickr reviewer. He made a comment here You can see his response. Good luck. As an aside, are you British? As you can see my from wiki page, I'm from BC, Canada. --Leoboudv (talk) 03:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)\

Thank you for helping me get noticed.. lol I was wondering when someone was going to come along and help me.. --Ltshears (talk) 14:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Trusted user

Dear Trisha,

How did you know that you became a trusted user? I don't see a message on your talkpage congratulating you on achieving this goal. I am somewhat puzzled. Secondly, can you tell me if you are somewhaere in North America, the UK or Australia...please? I ask this only because most of the good Admins are in Europe which is not in my time zone in the Pacific coast (BC, Oregon California time). So, their nights is my day and my day is their nights! It is often not easy communicating with Lupo or Kanonkas because of the huge 9 hour time difference with Germany.

As an aside, if you have some time, please feel free to mark maybe 6-8 photos here If everyone marks a little, there would be few outstanding images needing human review. PS: if you are interested, I have place some of my better images on my Commons userpage. I hope you like them. Regards from Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I requested to be approved as a trusted user here [[4]] and was told it was approved and then my name was added to the trusted user list here [[5]] --Ltshears (talk) 14:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
  • OK thank you. I thought they would contact you direct but that's OK. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I am not sure if they normally do or not.. --Ltshears (talk) 19:11, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A beautiful photograph

hi, I reworked one of your images for the commons, and thought I would let you know. It was beautiful to begin with :)

It looks great, thank You.. --Ltshears (talk) 15:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] More edits

Thanks for your reply about my last talk with you about the rework on the Sunatran Tiger. I have done a few more of yours too :) Only problem is, I am new to the commons, and have no idea if I am linking them correctly etc. Any advice if I am doing things wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Julie

[edit] Flickr problem

Hi Ltshears,
your upload File:Acanthiza chrysorrhoa (Yellow-rumped Thornbill).jpg needs a confirmation of license as it is now NC on Flickr and hadn't been Flickrreviewed before. --Túrelio (talk) 13:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I guess he must have changed the license on all his images.. i supposed since it never got reviewed then it should be deleted now..--Ltshears (talk) 19:25, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
