File:2008 07 Botanical Garden Meran 71340R0350.jpg|[edit]

Hello Sten,

Indented line

I am a graphic designer in the USA and would like to use one of your Acai Berry photographs (Lycium-barbarum-fruits) in a package design I am creating for the Stash Tea Company here in Portland, Oregon. Please reply to me at my email address: gh@acmegd.com to discuss. Thanks. –Greg Holly / Acme Graphic Design Hi Sten, thanks for quick reaction.
I've added info accordingly in en and de and the the link to wikispieces.
Just inform me about further changes on my discussion page and I will adapt the respective files.
Best wishes for the new year --Lord Koxinga (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sten,
Thanks a lot again for your very fast reaction on my upload (according the history of a file I've checked in and edited it was about 2 minutes). Since I'm a civil engineer (thats about nature too, but not in that way) I've categorized all those uploads under unknown plants to make sure, that someone is catching them.
My intention is to provide whatever I have on my harddisks – and is not private – to everybody.
So whenever you find some stuff to edit, just do it. It will go the right way sooner or later.
Best wishes and appreciating your collaboration in wikimedia. --Lord Koxinga (talk) 21:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Valg af licens[edit]

Hej Sten! Commons er i gang med at skifte licens og i den forbinelse skal der tages stilling til en række billeder. Fx File:Aesculus-hippocastanum.JPG. Jeg tænkte på, at hvis du valgte den licens, du bedst kan lide, så kunne den måske sættes på alle eksisterende billeder i Category:Images by User:Sten from da.wikipedia med bot? --MGA73 (talk) 15:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hej MGA73, Jeg foretrækker den licens, som hedder: "Multi-license with CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GFDL". Det er stor sindet af dig at rette licensen på alle mine billeder, så de bliver bragt i overensstemmelse med både mit ønske og de nyeste licenser. Tak for det!--Sten Porse (talk) 21:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hej Steen, ja det er lettere, hvis licensen er ens på alle billederne. Men inden jeg retter, så er det denne her du mener? {{self|CC-BY-SA-3.0|GFDL}}? Man kan også bruge fx {{self|Cc-by-sa-all|GFDL}}. Der bør nok også indsættes en "author=Sten" ind i skabelonerne for at undgå misforståelser fordi det er min bot, der har overført mange af billederne. --MGA73 (talk) 06:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Jeg tror det bedste er {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0|GFDL|author=[[User:Sten|Sten Porse]]|migration=redundant}}. Parameteren migration=redundant burde forhindre andre mere eller mindre fejlbehæftede botter i at lave yderligere ændringer (f.eks. foreslå at udgive TO gange under cc-by-sa-3.0). Tjekker botten i øvrigt om der er flere (næsten) ens licensskabeloner på samme side, f.eks. en {{self|GFDL}} og også en {{GFDL}}. Jeg har observeret at andre botter ikke har styr på dette, f.eks. [1] (se ikke kun diffen, men hele kilden, hvor det fremgår at brugeren på korrekt vis har foretaget opt out). {{Cc-by-sa-all}} er vist lettere omstridt - der er delte meninger hvad den egentlig skal dække over, så det er nok bedste at undgå den - evt. til fordel for {{Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}. Nillerdk (talk) 07:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Jeg har lige fået at vide, at man ikke bør fjerne fx en 2.0 og erstatte med en 3.0 så en "all" eller "3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0" er nok det bedste. --MGA73 (talk) 13:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hej MGA73 og Nillerdk. Jeg kan ikke gennemskue de teknikaliteter, I diskuterer, men jeg er benovet over, at I orker at gøre alt det for mig! Mvh. --Sten Porse (talk) 07:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Så skulle de meget gerne være rettet alle sammen. Jeg fandt endda 3 helt uden licens (File:Maquis in Turkey.jpg, File:Maquis and garrigue in Corsica6.jpg og File:Maquis and garrigue in Corsica5.jpg). Håber alt er ok nu. Fremadrettet skal du bare give billederne den licens du foretrækker. --MGA73 (talk) 22:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

If you are dealing with categories here you may find "hotcat" of interest. My Preferences -> Gadgets. Thanks & regards --Herby talk thyme 17:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making me aware of your "hotcat". As a matter of fact I do use it, when I categorize my own pictures. Adding categories to pictures that are already uploaded is a different matter, though, so I'm doing it manually.--Sten Porse (talk) 17:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sten!
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.

I answer for Multichill. Hej Sten! Du skal ikke regne med at Multichill svarer selv - han har nok at gøre med at svare på sure opstød! Jeg glæder mig over, at det nu er blevet lettere at finde disse 20-30 af dine flotte fotografier. Du har efter min overbevisning kategoriseret helt korrekt. Endnu engang tak for dine værdifulde bidrag. Nillerdk (talk) 10:29, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ingen årsag. Det er min glæde og stolthed at være med her. Derfor ser jeg også en ære i, at andre bemærker, kritiserer og retter "mine" ting. Tak for din positive måde at svare på! Mvh. --Sten Porse (talk) 11:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

bin hocherfreut über dein Süßgras aus Alyki und frage mich, ob du da noch mehr dergleichen auf Thasos gefunden und fotographiert haben könntest? Wäre fein für eine ausführlichere Beschreibung der dortigen Vegetation. -- Haubi (talk) 15:04, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Danke für deinen Hinweis. Die Fotos hatte ich bereits angesehen, jedoch nicht soweit angeklickt, dass ich auf deinen Namen gekommen wäre. Bist du mit meiner deutschen Beschreibung von Aegilops zufrieden? Was ich besonders suche, ist Bewuchs an den Magerstandorten, wie z.B. des Aegilops.

Lieber Sten,

Ich habe Ihr Bild File:Trifolium-campestre-flowering.jpg in Medicago lupulina umbenannt, da es offensichtlich zu dieser Art gehört (sehr kurze Blütenstiele, Blüten fallen am Ende der Blütenzeit aus, typische Früchte). Mit freundlichen Grüßen, -- Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prunus serrula[edit]

Hallo Sten,

auf Deinem Foto von Prunus serrula File:Prunus-serrula.jpg sind im Vordergrund Blätter zu sehen, die meiner Meinung nach nicht zu dieser Art gehören. Sie hat schmalere Blätter, typische Kirschblätter. Der Stamm, der zu sehen ist, ist aber relativ sicher Prunus serrula. Falls Du wieder in den Botanischen Garten gehst, könntest Du den Baum nochmal ansehen? Viele Grüße, --Don Manfredo (talk) 21:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Sten,

Ich habe das von Ihnen als Geranium molle bestimmte Foto Image:Geranium-molle-flowers.JPG zu Category:Geranium pyrenaicum verschoben und die Beschreibung entsprechend verändert, und zwar wegen folgender Merkmale: Die Blütenbätter der Pflanze sind viel länger (etwa doppelt so lang) wie der Kelch. Die Blattlappen sind sehr breit und die Blüten überragen ihre Tragblätter weit. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 17:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image use[edit]

Hi

We are writing a book on spices and herbs.

The title is “Krydderleksikon med urter og smakstilsetninger” (Encyclopedia of spices and herbs). Print run is 5000 copies and the book will be published in May this year. It will be illustrated with photos of all the plants.

Most of the photos are already provided for but we still miss some picture.

We have found your photo of Vitex agnus castus on the Internet and we wonder if you kindly will let us use the photo in our book.

Hi Sten,

I moved your image File:Astragalus-glycyphyllos-foliage-flowers.jpg tentatively to Category:Vicia sepium, because Astragalus glycyphyllos has never got red flowers. The location where the image was taken (Botanical Garden!) and the rather wide leaves might leave some doubt, but the species is extremely common, rather variable and the flower look exactly right. I also changed the description. I hope that I got the Danish part of it right. Best regards --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

your picture[edit]

Please turn your picture: Coastal Pinus brutia forest on the east coast of Thasos. Thanks -- Haubi (talk) 10:23, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why should I turn that picture? I mean: the picture is showing horizontal water, while the boles of the trees are perpendicular - quite as the situation was at the time, when the picture was taken. The layers of marble on the coast, however, are tilted, but that is the result of some very old, geological processes.

AUTHORIZATION FOR PUBLICATION[edit]

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 some photos in your page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use them in my book.

Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your nickname) and the link of the pictures will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication.


The 2 photos which I would use are:

Thank you very much! I hope you will attend my request…

Bye,

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.

Permission of use for image[edit]

Dear Sten,

I work for the “Museum of Man and Nature” in Munich, Germany. I contact you today with a short inquiry concerning one of your wikipedia-images: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mimosa-pudica-post.jpg

The “Museum of Man and Nature” is a public institution that presents artefacts and research of the Bavarian Natural History Collections. The museum will be extended in the next few years and we are currently working on a brochure containing information on the construction and the new concept of the museum. The brochure will not be for sale, but will instead be shared with potential project partners and supporters. A PDF version will be available on the museum’s website.

Your image as mentioned above would greatly help to illustrate our ideas and we would hereby like to inquire if you would kindly grant us permission to use the image for this specific purpose. If you agree, we would of course give the copyright notice that you would like us to use. You find the respective image in the attachment.

Further information on the project can be found at: www.namu-bayern.de. We would be very grateful if you could support our project in this way. I look forward to hearing from you on this, of course you can also use my professional email adress: info@namu-bayern.de

Best wishes, Verena Braun Verena Braun (talk) 14:08, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Liebe Verena,
Ich gebe mit Freude dem Museum die von Ihnen erwünschte Erlaubnis!
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Sten Porse

Acis longifolium is Brimeura fastigiata[edit]

Hi, Looking at the page about Acis, it seems that the picture used to illustrate the species Acis longifolia (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leucojum-longifolium1.JPG) (one or two pending flower, white, leave filiform) is in fact a white form of Brimeura fastigiata (flowers upward, in a pseudo umbel, leaves wide with white stripe) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.125.10.30 (talk) 15:50, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2 misidentified images[edit]

Hi Sten, I just changed the ID of your two misidentified images shown above. These show some kind of Cardamine (subgenus Dentaria), but unfortunately not Cardamine enneaphyllos, because this species has typically a whorl of three leaves with three leaflets each. The leaves of your plants have got too many leaflets. I am not sure about the species shown in your images because these were taken in a botanical garden, where many kinds of species from all over the world may grow (and not always the species mentioned on a plate nearby). With best regards --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 11:00, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
