Image:Crucian carp-intact.JPG[edit]

You changed the description into "A wild goldfish". I don't think that this is a wild goldfish. My teacher (who is a biology teacher) said that this is a crucian carp. If I have a look at Image:DSCN3568.JPG I wouldn't say that they are the same fish race.
edit: WTF? I don't understand what you want to tell me.
--D-Kuru 01:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • If you look at the black membrane between the eggs and the fishbones you'll notice it is black. This is also typical of goldfish.

If you compare the picture of the wild goldfish Giebel_Goudvis.JPG you will see the head and body shape are identical. The other picture shows C. a. gibelio in a typical dutch wild type (probably a gynogenetic clone). In fact typical wild crucian carp will be very different from the goldfish types. In body shape many more gills along the lateral line, colour, body shape (flatter and rounder, rounded fins) and head shape, and if you would cut them open you wouldn't see a black membrane. The different forms of gibelio are more variable, maybe because they are more or less wild goldfish C. a.. And C gibelio. In fact the 'wild' goldfish is an eastern subspecies of gibelio and there has also been a lot of domestication and subsequent release in the wild. So I think Image:DSCN3568.JPG is a picture of a typical wild western gibelio and Giebel_Goudvis.JPG and your picture are in fact wild colored goldfish. DNA-research could clarify this matter, but it is clear that they are not Carassius carassius. It is a pity that C. carassius has become somewhat rare in the Netherlands so I had to post pictures of juvenile fish, which are to small (2 cm( to be a good reference picture. Searching the internet will also give you lots of misnamed fish. These pictures show C. carassius:[1], [2] and [3] (beautiful adult C. c.). This site also shows nice gibelio pictures [4]. Because the specias cucian carp and wild goldfish haven't been recognized as seperate species in old literature they are still very often misnamed, but I hope that if you take a look at the pictures and the head shape of C. carassius you will see that it is very distinct. Sorry I changed the name of the picture myself, but I posted a comment some time ago to which you didn't respond and because I try to maintain the quality of the wiki pictures because they are often used as a reference I changed it myself. Thanks for posting the pictures however, because they are the only pictures of fish anatomy on wiki so far and are very usableViridiflavus 05:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked my teacher what he thinks that this fish really is and he siad that this fish is a wild goldfish but also a crucian carp, because a wild goldfish is a subspecies of the crucian carp.
Is that correct?
--D-Kuru 00:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carassius carassius is a very distinct species, but it can hybridize with goldfish or giebel which makes determination of some specimen impossible. So in this case your teacher may be right that it is both Crucian Carp and Wild Goldfish.

In fact the goldfish (Carassius auratus) and the 'giebel' (Carassius gibelio, or Carassius auratus gibelio) can be considered as subspecies, because there are no clear morphological differences between the two. Goldfish is the eastern subspecies, and giebel the western (example of true western giebel is Image:DSCN3568.JPG.

Because of the gynogetic reproduction of Carassius gibelio the descendants of Carassius gibelio normally only have the genetic material from the mother, so they remain Carassius gibelio. They are also always female because they only have the genetic material of the mother. Maybe your specimen is an hybrid with genetic material from both parents, but the black membrane between the eggs and the bones is evidence that it can't be a true Carassius carassius. The head and body shape, however and the number of gills along the lateral line(31) are intermediate between both species, so it can also be assumed your specimen is an hybrid. (Things do not get any easier, do they?)

Because the color is typical for wild goldfish/giebel and all other characteristics are within the range of goldfish/giebel I would still classify it as Wild Goldfish/Giebel. Very nice pictures of crucian carp can be seen here: [5].

Is it Ok if I use {{de/en|A crucian carp (correct species: wild goldfish/giebel}} Of course the change of the category...
--D-Kuru 15:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't on for... well... a quite long time, but there is still no answer...^^
What do you think about my idea?
--D-Kuru 13:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is better to change the species and category to C. auratus or gibelio or Carassius spec. maybe, because of the black "peritoneum" (abdominal membrane) which is typical for gibelo and auratusViridiflavus 15:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request to reuse Image:GasterosteusAculeatusMaleHead.JPG[edit]

Hello, I'm a researcher at Stanford University who works with Stanford Scientific Magazine (http://www.stanford.edu/group/stanscimag/). I am working on an article on recent research on stickleback populations for our next issue, and I would like to include your excellent stickleback image in the article. From my understanding of the licensing permissions (it appears to be included under the GNU Free Documentation License), this should be okay provided we atrribute you and include the license information. I'd like to first verify with you that it would be okay to include this image, and also to see if you have other concerns or questions about our complying with the licensing.

Many thanks! -Rory Sayres (Sayres 06:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

That was why I made the pics, no use to keep them on my PC. Success with your article. greetings Piet Spaans

Image:TudancaBull.JPG[edit]

Hello Viridiflavus, this is Uhanu, member of w:es:Wikiproyecto:Cantabria. I found your pics of Tudancas out in commons, and they are great, much better than ours, above all having in mind, here in some villages of Cantabria, we live almost surrounded by this cows :). Did you take these pics in Netherlands? Where can I find information about the exportation of Tudanca cows to Netherlands?

Thank you very much!

Cordially,--Uhanu (talk) 20:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I made these images in the Netherlands, they are geotagged I thought, so you can find them in google earth. This herd was at Johannahoeve and there are some now at the "Planken Wambuis", which is a bigger reserve. He also imported some Sayaguesas (from around Zamorra)I want to take some pictures of.

Email me at viridiflavus@gmail.com please, so I can give you the home address of the importer/organization.

Furthermore this year or the next I am planning to go to Portugal to make a survey of reptiles and amphibians at Rio Coa (near Douro). The organization might interest you, they concentrate on reintroducing the traditional herding in remote areas. http://www.atnatureza.org/ Viridiflavus (talk) 17:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Viridiflavus~commonswiki!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Salaria pavo[edit]

Hi, Piet Spaans!

Look it Category:Salaria pavo at free time. I too much like this fish :-).

With best regards, --George Chernilevsky (talk) 12:17, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had that type of fish (Blenni) in an aquarium coming from the Rhone Delta. They are indeed very nice and cute. It is one of the Blennidae. I noticed you started geocoding the pictures, nice tool I think, there are even some programs linking your camera time and date to a gpx file that you can create with a gps device and even smartphones (WnPda [6]). (Jet Photo Studio [7]). That way you can make a hike or boat trip and later automatically geocode the pictures. Here is an article about your species Salaria pavo , male fish exhibiting female behavior to access the bigger territorial males nests to fertilize the eggs there. [8]Viridiflavus (talk) 09:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Article is very interesting. These fishes someone contains in aquariums in Ukraine (sea water, 120 litres are minimum). Fish amusing and very beautiful. However I did this photos in the wild nature.
GPS services is very poor in Ukraine. I can use only Google Earth software for geocoding.
That can't be true since the satelites orbits are about evenly spread across the globe, maybe your GPS receiver has issues.

Fish identifications[edit]

Hi, Piet!

Thank You for correction between Scardinius ertythropthalmus and Rutilus rutilus.

And this File:Scardinius erythropthalmus1 resize.jpg is Rutilus rutilus? The eye is red.

With best regards, -- George Chernilevsky talk 17:24, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is a very sharp and useful picture or Common roach Rutilus rutilus. The eye is indeed red, typical for roach is that the red is a kidney shaped spot above the eye. Maybe the scientific name "erythropthalmus" (meaning red eye) of Rudd has made you confused. There are a number of other ways to distinghuish the species too (english wiki common roach). Anyway it is kind of hard to change the name of an uploaded file again.Viridiflavus (talk) 08:59, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, i have made derivative work (cropped, correct filename, correct description): File:Rutilus_rutilus_by_Algirdas_cropped.jpg. And You can add some descriptions to new file. -- George Chernilevsky talk 16:06, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Fish Delft.JPG[edit]

Why do you think the fish is Abramis brama and not Ballerus ballerus? I categorized it as B. ballerus only because the general shape of the body, I didn't see any "real" diagnostical feature. Actually I have never seen a Ballerus ballerus. Sorry for my clumsy english.--Etrusko25 (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC) Well the diagnostics are the short anal fin with pronounced point compared to the Ballerus species, no upturned mouth like Ballerus ballerus, neither the square nose of Ballerus sapa. Also the fins are blackish and finally it is just a bream from a mile away for me, because I am familiar with bream. By birders that is called "jizz". Maybe you can check some pictures of the aforementioned species in commons. By the way the general body shape of all carp species changes considerably with size and condition. Very young bream are low backed and silvery, the specimen bream can become very high and of a dark bronze color. The pointed fins of the tail, the pointed anal and back fin are a pretty good giveaway. The really young bream and silver bream can be determined by the nr of scales between lateral line and back fin. Probably the larvae can also be determined up till species level, but i don't own any larval keys. As a request, the encyclopedial value of a picture rises when you add the geographical info to the exif, by adding geographical info or by placing it on google earth, or using more sophisticated geotagging methods, but anyway description and additional info is a shortcoming with most of the wikimedia.Viridiflavus (talk) 22:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the explaination, in Italy (where I live) there are no Ballerus species but only A. brama, as an alien species. If you will have doubts about south European fish species feel free of contacting me!

--Etrusko25 (talk) 17:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carassius[edit]

Hi! I'm quite sure that the fis is a C. auratus specimen because it is the only Carassius species introduced in the Ombrone river were it has been collected. An Italian ichthyologist, Prof. P.G. Bianco, studied gill rakers of these fishes some years ago and determined them as C. auratus. Actually almost all Carassius in italy are C. auratus.--Etrusko25 (talk) 09:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rutilus rutilus[edit]

Hello and thank you for your interresting pictures, but I think you made an error identification in this picture, I think it is not Rutilus rutilus (even young), but more probably alburnus alburnus. Do you agree with me ? If you agree, I'll let you correct the caption. --F. Lamiot (talk) 17:09, 21 July 2014 (UTC) It seems to me you are not familiar with fresh water fish and your assesment is completely wrong and unfounded. The easiest sign it is a roach is the kidney shaped red spot above the pupil. Anyway I suggest you stop editing anything concerned with cyprinids. A probable species is not usable for wikimedia, that is why I only upload certain species. 188.207.72.164 00:25, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Viridiflavus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Viridiflavus~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
