Category:Tabermontaneae

Hello,
Do you have references for Tabermontaneae ?
Google has none. That is a bad signe.

I was and am dead sure that Tabermontantaneae is wrong. It is NOW obvious to me that the correct tribe name is Tabernaemontaneae, not Tabermontaneae. I have manually corrected all instances of Tabermontaneae and Tabermontantaneae to Tabernaemontaneae, which is from Tabernaemontana + -eae. Thanks for catching my blunder.

No problem. You were quick to correct. Thanks a lot.

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear DCDuring,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

Please don't blank pages

Hi DCDuring,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked Lens on Commons. If you meant for the page to be deleted, blanking the page is not the right way to do this. A simple real-world comparison to illustrate: You removed the entire text of a page from a thick folder, but the then empty, useless page itself remained in the folder.

Please use {{speedy| type reason here }} and add it on top of the page you would like to have deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regularly for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed.

For redirects use #REDIRECT[[Target]] or {{category redirect|Targetcategoryname}}. For more information please read Blanking. Thanks again. --A1Cafel (talk) 17:41, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

@A1Cafel: Why have Lens redirect to Lenses rather than to Lens culinaris or to a disambiguation page? DCDuring (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Nonetheless, blanking a page is not an appropriate move, please be reminded. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:34, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
