Plant photos
[edit]Hi Gerrit - I fear the source you are using has a considerable number of typographical errors, and also out-of-date taxonomy in several instances. It would be a lot easier if these errors could be corrected before uploading the pics, rather than having to do all the corrections after the event. Before uploading any more pics, could you post a text list of what there is to come, so corrections can be done in advance of uploading? - Thanks, MPF 18:15, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to hear this. As I know nothing about plant taxonomy myself, I didn't notice. Before uploading the next batch, I will post a list somewhere of the categorization and other properties, so that more knowledgeable users like you are able to correct it in advance. Thanks for your help on this issue, as I like to get it correct. Gerrit 18:55, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks; I'll take a look and check it out - MPF 21:25, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi Gerrit - the Images shown on the page Lilium pensylvanicum are absolutely mis-identified. They probably show Hemerocallis, but definitely not Lilium. And of course it is not a pensylvanicum too. Sorry, Denisoliver 20:08, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hello Gerrit. Could you please have a look to User talk:Topjabot. I answered to some problems which were already mentioned there. Thanx --:Bdk: 07:47, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I also found misidentified plants. The pictures on the page Anthericum liliago (Liliaceae) both do not show this plant. The first picture seems to be a some kind of Cornus. BerndH 15:50, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hello Gerrit, Other misidentified plant. This is a lemnaceae but Lemna minor, possibly a Spirodela polyrhiza. (common duckmeat from North America) Pixeltoo 11:10, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Images
[edit]Hi Gerrit, I read that you got permission to use all images of Kurt Stüber under GFDL. At first I want to say wow congratulations as I myself have asked serval times people releasing their content GFDL-free (and I was not always sucessfull). I would suggest to you that you put the (Email) permission for documentation on a subpage of your user page so that there can be no question in future. E.g. look at my subpage: User:Arnomane/Requests. As I'm also trying to improve the descriptions of images within the Wikimedia Commons I have created Template:Information recently and I think it is quite useful out of several reasons (look at Commons:Village pump archive-13#New image description template). You can find an example using this template e.g. at Image:Magic-Telescope.jpg. Some more info can be found at Commons:Criteria for inclusion and Template talk:Information. So I would be glad if you can add the usage of this template to your bot if you like it. Arnomane 17:38, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Illustration of Vicia hirsuta
[edit]Hi. I'd like to ask you for assistance for the following illustration: [[1]] I'm not sure if that picture is under copyright restrictions or not. And I do not want to upload it without permission. If that illustration is free it would be really nice if you could upload it to wikimedia commons and add a link to Vicia hirsuta. PS: I read [my german discussion] more often. Many thanks. Fabelfroh 20:16, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Licenses
[edit]Hello Gerrit, could you please go through all your old images and add description, source and license information where it is necessary, soon. See Image:Cairn 3.jpg for example. Thanks --:Bdk: 07:41, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I've also found misidentified photos. I hid the photos on the article -- they are most definitely not Neomarica northiana. Not quite sure what they are. I didn't edit the photo descriptions--thought I might leave that up to you. Thanks! Rkitko 08:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Image deletion notice

Because of misidentification and low image quality, I have put :Image:Sarracenia purpurea2.jpg up for deletion.

Small confusion with username
[edit]Hi I stumbled across a user page of a non existant user User:Gerritholl which got refered from your bot page User:Topjabot. The non existant user's page has been deleted in order to avoid confusion and the links on Topjabot have ben changed to you: [2] (I hope this is right that way). There were also some old questions from users on the talk page of User:Gerritholl that therefor you never did see, so I am copying them here below (in case they are still relevant).

hi Gerrit,
you placed Lysimachia vulgaris in the family Primulacea, why? Shouldnt it be in Myrsinaceae? TeunSpaans 17:17, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Poor image quality
[edit]Hi Gerrit,
Because of poor image quality, I requested deletion for some of the plant-images you uploaded. I would be ashamed to place such out-of-focus images on the internet, even if they were not my pictures.

Image Tagging Image:Marianne_Langkamp_1.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Marianne_Langkamp_1.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Hello, you are the author of one of the images in the category Grande Arche. This category has been recently proposed for deletion under the pretext that there is no FOP in France. I believe not all the images in this category deserve to be deleted, some of them do not present copyright issues. You can express your opinion on this page Commons:Deletion_requests/Category:Grande_Arche if you believe the category should stay. I noticed this deletion request after one of my images (also featured picture) belonging to this category has been proposed for deletion here. Best Regards. --Atoma 16:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Plant images from biolib.de
[edit]It is noted that you uploaded a LARGE number of images apparently sourced to www.biolib.de using User:Topjabot.
Can you for the sake of avoiding an argument forward the permission you got, to the OTRS permission queue, and get someone with access to flag the images concerned as OK.
You know they are probably Ok, the source you got them probably knows , but us mere Commons users don't.

File:Rosa sp.91.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here.

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request.

A barnstar for you!
[edit]The Photographer's Barnstar | |
Hi!
My name is Edoardo Bit, I am an architect and also a “young researcher” of the University of Ferarra (Italy). I am writing a book on the “green walls technologies” and I have found very interesting a photo in your page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use it in my book. Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your nickname) and the link of the picture will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication. The photo which I would use is: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Acanthus_hungaricus1.jpg
Bye, Edoardo Edoardo.bit (talk) 09:33, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
- Although I uploaded the photograph to Wikimedia Commons, I did not take it. The photograph is originally by Kurt Stueber, as indicated on the photo page: http://www.kurtstueber.de/ . So, I do not deserve this Barnstar... --Gerrit (talk) 08:14, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
