User talk:Satyrium~commonswiki

Hi Satyrium, nice to have a new lepidoptera interested user here! :-) But: Please dont add categories to images which are already linked by an article! This double linking is not necessary. If you have questions about sorting files, please ask! Best regards, --Olei 09:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry. I find it pretty hard to find images, categories help. Most folks have rather poor descriptions ... I do have a question-- What is the relationship between "articles" in the Commons and in Wikipedia or Wikispecies? (I think I understand linking from the Commons to Wikipedia) .Satyrium 00:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Satyrium! Ok, here comes some help. Let me describe the uploading process.

• select your image, and type in an appropiate name like this: Zygaena.trifolii.2621.jpg
• copy and paste the information template and add additional information like name, date and location, these three are the most important
• upload it! :-)
• in the search field type in the scientific name (e.g. Zygaena trifolii), this searches for an article with this name.
• if the article exists edit it and add the name of your uploaded image after the last one. Click preview. If everything seems to be ok save your changes.
• If no article exists, create one. The text could look like this:

;''Zygaena trifolii'' (Esper, 1783)

{{de|Sumpfhornklee-Widderchen}}

{{en|Five-spot Burnet}}

{{nl|Vijfvlek sint-jansvlinder}}

[[category:Zygaenidae]]

[[de:Sumpfhornklee-Widderchen]]

[[en:Five-spot Burnet]]

[[nl:Vijfvlek sint-jansvlinder]]

• Click preview. If everything seems to be ok save it.
• done. :-)

Wikispecies is some kind of a (useless) category tree project. Generally speaking a commons article can be linked to en-wp and vice versa. You can check your and other users images with this tool for linking. --Olei 19:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Megacyllene.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Megacyllene.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 Attribution-ShareAlike license 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. -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:54, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

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 Satyrium. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Satyrium~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.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Alypia octomaculata caterpillar size

Hi Satyrium (Greg?)- Saw your excellent pic of the above caterpillar. Can you tell me if you know its length? I was surprised to find the moth stage stuck between my window and screen, which makes me think the caterpillar somehow lodged itself in a nook by my window before I put the screen on a while ago. Thanks in advance. --Eric ^{my en.wp talk page} 16:23, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
