User talk:Gerrit - Wikimedia Commons

Hi Gerrit - I fear the source you are using has a considerable number of typographical errors, and also out-of-date taxonomy in several instances.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)

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)

Shouldnt some of these px be rotated 90 degrees? TeunSpaans 20:18, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

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.

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)Reply

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)Reply
