Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Classification of Narcissus

Dear MILEPRI,

I see that you are reclassifying the genus Narcissus, according with the World Checklist.

  • You are right: N. canaliculatus is synonym of N. tazetta subsp. tazetta (not of subsp. italicus). Sorry for having interfered with you! This plant is growing very well in my garden in Belgium.
  • I have also transferred (again) N. pseudonarcissus subsp. major and N. confusus to N. hispanicus.
  • Some pictures first identified as N. hispanicus have been later identified as N. muñozii-garmendiae. I have reclassified them accordingly. I will later this day rename them accordingly.

I still try to arbitrate conflicts.
For you info: In the past I have had some troubles with A. Barra, who is e.g. convinced the N. confusus is not a synonym of N. hispanicus, and that N. hispanicus is not a true species.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:11, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

PS: I have renamed the pictures, who were first identified as N. hispanicus and have been later identified as N. muñozii-garmendiae. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:Astragalus brachycalyx

Hello,
Do you remember why you did that ?
If it is about synonym, you should have renamed the cat or added a {{SN}}.
But what you did is not very explicit.

Categories for Botanists

Hi MILEPRI, I see that create many many categories for Botanists. In each case, please also move the birth year, death year and other categories from the single photo to the new category, so these data must not be entered for each future file separately. -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 18:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Heads-up

Hi, as an active colleague on upload projects, I thought I'd drop you a personal heads-up for my request for adminship, today being the last day for views.

Lysimachia arvensis or Anagallis arvensis?

Dear Milepri,

I have seen that you have reverted one of my edits. There are currently two different categories for the same plant : Lysimachia arvensis and Anagallis arvensis. According to Wikimedia policies, we have to make a choice and redirect the other one.

Please advise, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 09:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

"Botanical illustrations" categories for algae

Hello Milepri, I noticed that you made a lot of categories like Category:Bryopsis - botanical illustrations. Please stop making those categories for algal taxa. There are thousands of algal species. Most of them have only illustrations, and for the majority of algae, this will be true for years. It makes no sense to have a double categorization for them! Thanks, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:33, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

"Botanical illustrations" for fungi

Hello MILEPRI, illustrations of fungi are not botanical but mycological illustrations! The Category:Botanical illustrations by taxon is a subcategory of "Plants by taxon", and fungi do not belong to plants. If you like to make categories for mycological illustrations, please sort them unter Category:Illustrations of fungi. Thanks, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

"Botanical illustrations" for conifers

Hi MILEPRI - be nice if you could stick to the established format and call these categories "Xxxxx xxxxx (illustrations)" rather than "Xxxxx xxxxx - botanical illustrations". Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Taxa, subfamiliae, BioLib and categories

Hello MILEPRI I saw with pleasure that you provide a lot of {{Taxa}} with source and accessdate.
I have some recommendations:

  • First parameter of {{Taxa}} is "subfamilia" if there is only one or "subfamiliae" (not subfamilias) if there are multiple subtaxa. This parameter is documented in {{Taxa}}
  • You should use {{BioLib}} which syntax is very easy: {{BioLib|12456}}. It will allow us to change the url easely when the web site will change
    Example of correction - even better correction
  • Category (like [[category:Coreinae]]) are supposed to be at the end of the page, before interwiki (not at beginning). There is a huge consensus on this on all wikis
    Look at this: it start with spaces.
    Example of correction
  • * should not be used in {{VN}} (like here), but |
    Example of correction
  • the correct source for species.wikimedia.org is source=species (See here). You can find the source documentation in {{Taxasource}}


Sometimes, you are a bit too quick:

Regards Liné1 (talk) 16:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Partial work

There is something I don't understand. You seem to want to create all subfamilies and tribes. fine with with me.
But why do you do a partial work ????

Regards Liné1 (talk) 08:13, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

He creado esta subfamilia porque había que incluir al género Mutilla, la otra subfamilia no ha sido creada porque aun no ha aparecido níngun artículo para la misma. La idea es no crear artículos vacíos.--MILEPRI (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
If you look at Category:Mutillidae: Dasymutilla‎ is in Category:Sphaeropthalminae.
En Schizorhinini están tribus y géneros juntos porque los géneros son de dicha tribu incerta sedis, pendientes de clasificar correctamente segun BioLib--MILEPRI (talk) 08:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
If you look at Category:Schizorhinini: Agestrata‎ (and Category:Agestrata luzonica‎) is in Category:Lomapterina (BioLib).
But I am not sure that providing subtribes is reasonable. Their content differs too much between sources.
  • [:Category:Macroglossina]: you list 30 genus but don't move them

Excellent work

Excellent work you did on Acrididae.
No more pictures in Acrididae.
Well done.
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 17:25, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

About the subtribes in Category:Catantopini.
Wouldn't agree not to create subtribes ?
Regards Liné1 (talk) 18:21, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

another hint

Hello,
When you find a category which is a synonym, don't ask for its suppression.
Someone will recreate it.
Instead you should use a {{Synonym taxon category redirect}}.
Check this correction as example.
It also explains everything: Beckius is a syn. for Eupatorus.
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 15:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

source

Hello MILEPRI,
Could you use source=species, not source=wikispecies, please?
I have 60 categories to correct after this mistake.
You can find these categories in Category:Pages_with_incorrect_biology_template_usage.
By the way, the list of available source is described in {{Taxasource}}.
Regards Liné1 (talk) 17:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

tribes

Hello MILEPRI,
Wikicommons has not taxonomy for purpose.

  • Category:Amelinae, Category:Acromantinae: you should not create a tribe category if its subfamily is monotypique (subfamily has only one tribe). This is unanimously bad.
  • why did you create subcategories if you don't fill them ?? You are waiting for me to move the genera in the tribes ?

Regards Liné1 (talk) 21:19, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

partial work

I don't understand: why did you create only Category:Panurgini under Category:Panurginae ? Why not the 6 other tribes ?
Are you waiting for me to do it ?
Regards Liné1 (talk) 19:25, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

If you work on genera, restrict your work to genera. You can do tribes later.
There are thousands of families, you will never finish the partial work you are doing.
I am still working on Category:Oecophorinae for you.
I really don't enjoy cleaning behind you.
It is killing me.

Lucanidae identification, sure?

Hello, are you sure with ? as far i know this species is not living in Chile. and it looks different to the species on the photo. Holger1959 (talk) 19:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

answer to :
please compare the 2 images and notice the obvious differences. and please understand that German common names are not necessarily equal to exact species names, especially when a common name is given in quotation marks, which should obviously emphasise the uncertainty and (look-alike) "similarity only". Actually „Hirschkäfer“ may refer to several species within the large Stag beetle (Lucanidae) family. For this usage of the name see eg. de:Australischer Pracht-Hirschkäfer (Phalacrognathus muelleri): a different species. So based on names given in a description/filename only, i hope you would not classify eg. this image as a real elephant ;)
When you only guess a species and images end up misidentified, you do not help Commons. i will revert therefore. Holger1959 (talk) 20:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Spider taxonomy

Hello MILEPRI, I'm afraid your spider taxonomy is about 50 years outdated. For example you list the taxonomy of Zygoballus as Familia: Salticidae; Subfamilia: Dendryphantinae; Tribus: Zygoballini; Genus: Zygoballus, but the current taxonomy is Familia: Salticidae; Subfamilia: Salticinae; Tribus: Dendryphantini; Subtribus: Dendryphantina; Genus: Zygoballus. Could I ask what source you are using (so that perhaps it could be updated)? Kaldari (talk) 03:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, it looks like you've added a whole lot of very ancient spider taxonomy (that is no longer valid) across hundreds of categories. This is going to be a lot of work to try to clean-up. Next time, please ask at WikiProject Spiders or somewhere similar before embarking on such a project. Thanks. Kaldari (talk) 03:54, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
For the family Salticidae (the largest spider family), the most recent taxonomy can found in "A phylogenetic classification of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae)". This taxonomy is well accepted and not in conflict with any other proposals. The taxonomy you have used seems to mostly be from Eugène Simon's Histoire Naturelle des Araignées (1892-1903), which lost favor around the 1960s. I'm curious what source you used that would have such an old taxonomy. Kaldari (talk) 15:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
On English Wikipedia, we typically just use the family and genus (without subfamiliy, tribe, subtribe, etc.) for spider taxonomy, since the families and genera have been stable for decades, but the taxons between them change frequently. It would be good to keep the taxonomy on Commons less specific, because no one is actually going to maintain the taxonomy here. Wikispecies has the same problem. The taxonomy is very detailed, but no one keeps it up to date. Having fewer taxons is actually better since it requires less maintenance. Kaldari (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm going to go ahead and just remove the subfamily and tribe information from the Salticidae categories since this information is wrong for all of them (and very outdated). I hope that is OK. Kaldari (talk) 15:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

  • I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I was not asking you to stop creating synonyms. Rather, it is how you are doing it that is the problem. It is an error to redirect a category. See Commons:Redirect and Commons:Category redirects. Instead, you should add an appropriate template to the page:
    INCORRECT - #REDIRECT [[:Category:Accepted name]]
    CORRECT - {{Category redirect|Accepted name}}

Removing images from category Ulmus

Hello MILEPRI,
I see you have removed multiple images from category 'Ulmus' and added other categories uncluding 'Famous Ulmus'. The tree you added to 'Famous Ulmus' is far from famous.
May I ask why you removed them from Ulmus, rather than keeping it and just adding another category?
Could I ask please that you add back the category 'Ulmus' where you have removed it - after all they're still Ulmus
Thank you, Tom_elmtalk 10:56, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

PS. I owe you an apology, I see the logic of your recategorisation. Some images would be better suited to more than one category though. Have you ever tried using Cat-a-lot? It would save you a huge amount of time. Tom_elmtalk 07:44, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Pinus

Hi MILEPRI - please don't mess up Pinus - you've just created a truly dreadful mess by mixing up Pinus ponderosa subsp. brachyptera and Pinus ponderosa subsp. scopulorum; they are different taxa, and now they will all have to be corrected, file by file - many hours of tedious work created by unthinking mass editing that can't be simply reversed in a single keystroke. Don't just blindly follow the Plant List, it is very out of date. Thanks. - MPF (talk) 21:57, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Also please note, there's no point in creating category redirects for ancient synonyms that haven't been used for 100 years or more - they just clutter up the category dropdown box and make errors in adding categories much more likely. Category redirects should only exist for synonyms in widespread current use, that people might actually try entering on image files. - MPF (talk) 22:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
[copied from my talk page] He cambiado Pinus ponderosa subsp. brachyptera y Pinus ponderosa subsp. scopulorum porque no contenían ninguna referencia que sustentara su inclusión en dicho taxón. En la edición que realicé había incluido varias referencias, entre ellas, las que indicaban que hay otros editores que la incluyen en un taxón diferente. Si tiene datos más modernos, le agradecería que los incluyera para evitar otra nueva revisión que le haga perder el tiempo. Saludos.--MILEPRI (talk) 07:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC) [moved here by MPF (talk) to keep discussion together]
Hi MILEPRI - Gracias!

Hi MILEPRI - as already mentioned, please stop creating vast numbers of superfluous redirects for synonyms that are not in use. They are not within Commons scope (no images using these long-defunct synonyms have ever been published), and just serve to make the drop-down menus for category addition extremely difficult to use. - Thanks! - MPF (talk) 19:20, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Pinus

Hola MPF, me parece una ofensa que borres el trabajo que he realizado con mi tiempo. Los sinónimos no están prescritos en commons, lo que he editado se ajusta a las normas de publicación aceptadas por esta comunidad. He corregido cientos de ediciones donde figuraban como taxón principal sinónimos que según Vd. estaban obsoletos y otros editores lo desconocían. Como es difícil conocer los sinónimos que ya no se usan, los pongo todos para evitar equivocaciones. Si quiere conocer nombres antiguos que se siguen usando, puede entrar en botanical illustrations, donde a diario aparecen de libros e ilustraciones antiguas un gran número de ellos. Lamento no estar de acuerdo en este asunto y espero que lo medite y conjuntamente acordemos una solución que satisfaga a ambas partes. Saludos.--MILEPRI (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Actinidia chinensis var. hispida

Hello Milepri. I have seen that you changed the category in a few photos such as this one from Actinidia deliciosa to Actinidia chinensis var. hispida. I am just curious to know on what basis you concluded that. I have seen that you created the Category:Actinidia chinensis var. hispida, but there is no link to a Wikipedia page. Further you changed the category for the page Actinidia deliciosa (removed Category:Actinidia deliciosa; added Category:Actinidia chinensis var. hispida), which I consider as strange. I says that Actinidia deliciosa is often confused with Actinidia chinensis which is not in general cultivation. I suggest to revert that change. Regards, Wouter (talk) 06:57, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Redirección injustificada

Hola Milepri: veo que, por razones totalmente incomprensibles hiciste una redirección de categoría:Epilachninae a categoría:Coccinellinae. Dejé este mensaje en la página de discusión "Coccinellinae is a different subfamily. It makes no sense to place the members of the subfamily Epilachninae under that subfamily. See Cocinellinae and Epilachninae"

No se justifica semejante descuido y lleva mucho tiempo y esfuerzo deshacer lo hecho. Espero que no pase de nuevo aunque parece que has hecho cosas similares. Por favor, más cuidado!!! --Polinizador (talk) 00:08, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Epilachninae is a profoundly different subfamily from Coccinellinae. It is herbivorous, while Coccinellinae, like most coccinelids, is carnivorous. It is listed as a separate subfamily in ITIS, NCBI, TPDB, Wikidata, Wikpedia (even you created the page Epilachninae in es:Wikipedia), not to mention, Encyclopedia of Life, Discover Life, Bugguide.net, etc., etc. It is unfortunate you didn't check all those sources.

Valeriana supina & Valeriana saliunca

Dear MILEPRI,

You have put Valeriana supina as synonym of Valeriana saliunca. I disagree with this change.

Valeriana saliunca is an erect species with small leaves, which is a rare and endangered, endemic plant of acidic grounds, mainly found in the Western Alps.
Valeriana supina is a dwarf and supine species with much broader leaves, which is widespread on lime grounds of the Eastern Alps. This species is sometimes used in rock gardens.

See Valeriana saliunca 001.JPG, which I have photographed in the French Alps (the only picture of this species currently on Commons), and Valeriana supina RHu 02.JPG, which I have photographes in the Dolomites.

See Weidenblättriger Baldrian and Zwerg-Baldrian for a detailed description of the two species.

Please revert your change. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

I am afraid that we are not on the same wave length. Catalogue of Life says the Valeriana supina DC. is synonym of Valeriana saliunca All.
What about Valeriana supina Ard., which is described in Zwerg-Baldrian and to which all pictures on Commons, but Valeriana saliunca 001.JPG, are belonging...
I cannot believe that these two plants with a very different habitus could be considered of the same species. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:02, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
PS: According to the Plant List Valeriana supina Ard. is an accepted name. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Not Valeriana saliunca, but Valeriana supina - botanical illustrations

Dear MILEPRI,

I am not a "distinguished taxonomist", but I know the flora of the Alps very well.

The pictures in the category Valeriana saliunca - botanical illustrations are obviously not of the rare, endangered Valeriana saliunca, but of the widespraed Valeriana supina (short stems, broad leaves).

The category would thus better be renamed (I am a file-mover, but I am not allowed to rename categories). I have well put it as a sub-category of the category Valeriana supina.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 16:49, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Eucalyptus leptophylla and Eucalyptus foecunda

Hello MILEPRI,

Thank you for your important work.

You have created a redirect from Eucalyptus leptophylla to Eucalyptus foecunda. However, both are accepted species at both the Australian Plant Census and World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. Only one image is affected at the moment, but I hope to take more of both species later this year.

There is a similar problem with Eucalyptus tetragona. That name is not accepted by either of the above authorities. There is a hybrid species Eucalyptus × tetragona that is acceptecd at the WCSPF and as a pro parte synonym of Eucalyptus pleurocarpa at APC. (I have listed this for discussion.) Gderrin (talk) 22:54, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Dianthus hyssopifolius, Dianthus superbus and Dianthus gallicus

Dear MILEPRI,

I have seen that you have put Dianthus hyssopifolius - also called Dianthus monspessulanus - as synonym of Dianthus superbus. In my experience and that of many others (see e.g.: Œillet de Montpellier and Œillet superbe, Prachtnelke), they are different species, with different appearance and size, biotopes and distribution. However, you maintained Dianthus gallicus, an endemic taxon of the Atlantic dunes of France (see: Œillet de France), which is also considered as a subspecies of Dianthus hyssopifolius, as such.

I have contacted Andyboorman, to get an experienced advice about this matter.
He replied that there is, with this group of plants, unfortunately little consensus. Because Wikis can not force judgements, he advises to revert your change to the conservative approach, i.e. to keep all three taxa separate, as Dianthus hyssopifolius, Dianthus superbus and Dianthus gallicus (or Dianthus hyssopifolius subsp. gallicus).

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:11, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

According to Andyboorman's advice, I have reverted your redirection of Category:Dianthus hyssopifolius to Category:Dianthus superbus. In addition, I have also redirected the Category:Dianthus monspessulanus to Category:Dianthus hyssopifolius. Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 16:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, MILEPRI. Can you please comment on User talk:Túrelio#Request? I don't really know what the correct name of the species is, although I see Commons does have Category:Erica walkeri and not Category:Erica walkeria. However, in any case, Category:Erica walkeria var. praestans - botanical illustrations should not be a redirect to a non-existent category.

Moving Category:Acacia xanthophloea to Category:Vachellia xanthophloea is not ok. I'm going to move it back as it is still Acacia.

Brachylaena nereifolia vs. B. neriifolia

Hi MILEPRI, On 18 May 2018 you redirect Category Brachylaena neriifolia to Category Brachylaena nereifolia. I suspect you did so because the spelling used by Robert Brown in 1817 when he made the combination in Brachylaena, namely nereifolia, was accepted by "Catalogue of Life". However, Brown misspelled the epithet. When it was first proposed (in Baccharus), Linnaeus (1753) used the correct spelling, namely neriifolia, meaning "having leaves like Nerium". According to Article 60.1 of the Code "The original spelling of a name or epithet is to be retained, except for the correction of typographical or orthographical errors...". In this case nere- is an obvious orthographical error as it was meant to refer to the genus Nerium, and does not follow the original spelling of Linnaeus. If you agree with this assessment, would you please revert the redirection so as not to further promote this unfortunate error. The spelling neriifolia is, amongst others, accepted by "The Plant List", "Plants of the World" and all botanical institutions in the native range of the species. Thanks for considering this request. Best regards, SAplants (talk) 19:07, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

questions about wikispecies

I have questions about wikispecies, I am however unable to articulate them into words. I noticed that you were removing wikispecies links here and there and wonder what the reason could be. I have noticed similar elsewhere also. And from way back (~2008) from a talk page "that is not us".

Also, it may or may not be important to know this, but I simply have no strong feelings one way or the other about wikispecies, so, at least for me, don't worry about that. I am bothering you simply because you are an active "plant" person.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

@RaboKarbakian: : Indeed, there have been more than 5000 taxa without connection. It has already been detected and we are correcting this anomaly. Thanks for your interest. Greetings.--MILEPRI (talk) 07:46, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

I was clearly confused, I thought you were removing them. Someone else was removing them and you were putting them back. Wikidata should be able to put links to the sister projects here so that would end any 'war'ing here.

I was getting notifications from the biology project at wikidata, but my experience was with plants almost entirely so I was unable to participate there as most of the pings were about other branches. And, the notifications from there stopped.

Recently, I did a field guide for fishes at wikisource. The author used a taxonomy different than what is used today. It was very difficult for me not to grab that book and start to transcribe it. Many of the species names used in that book have been reassigned. It was still a challenge to find them!! 10 years later and with wikidata, still a challenge. I suspect that "mergers" kept happening there, to make the data reflect the article. But I appreciated when a reassigned name was to be found at wikidata. It was not so difficult to point the old name to the new name. I put some of the beautiful engravings from the book as images for the old names also, so that was an additional pleasure!

I had wanted to make redirected categories with the old names, to help with the old named PD images that I had access to. It was images with the old names in their name that helped the most with the fishes. Sad, huh? In a managed information environment....

My experience with the various trees of life was used greatly by me, earlier this year when I was looking for the "first publication" of a fairy tale, or marchen, as the germans have a better name for an orally delivered tale that has been written down. Did you know that the first Cinderella was Italian? And that the first Arabian Nights was French? I had no idea. Some of that goes back to the mid- to late-1600s. Like the little plants, the way the information was passed through the years was almost more interesting than the actual tale.

I was also working on the Flora of Antarctica or whatever that title is, one of the Hookes was in there. Several type species, etc. I was making separate pages for the species so that I could put them as the type species at wikidata. Wikidata does not accept anchored links, ie s:en:The Botany of the Antarctic Voyage/Part I/Geraniaceae#Geranium microphyllum (which hasn't been anchored either) but it really did look like an unnecessary mess. Downloading the book via the ebook software will only grab those sections that have links in the Table of Contents, so my extra pages of species and genus did not interfere with the works. They were all deleted. So, no links to type species. And, additionally, I lost the good will of the sourcerers who (many of them) don't like additional style added to mainspace instances.

The little plants were often discovered on very impressive explorations also.

My big failure here was in putting three trees on every category. I wanted the historical information to fit in to where it started. The three trees were interesting together. The additional subdivisions of the Solanacae were a big problem to my efforts. Linea here, wrote a bot that deleted them. Most of the things that I was doing was for the purpose of making it easier, for me, to figure out where the picture of the plant went. Having the "big picture" represented in the two dimensions of a webpage, with links that access a third dimension, that dimension being Time seemed interesting, at the least.

Sorry this is long, I can only say that it could have been longer. Thanks for your patience if you made it here in the reading. Caffiene was not a big part of the slurry that I just wrote.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:35, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks to you!

hello MILEPRI,

I would like to offer MANY SINCERE THANKS for your efforts. You have recategorized many of my botanical photographs, which has made me VERY HAPPY. I know very little about botany (I just take photos) but understand that many things are in flux right now; and I am so glad that you are working hard to keep botany up to date.

with all best wishes for 2022, Daderot (talk)

Carya alba vs tomentosa

I’m confused by this change. Most sources I can find say the accepted name is tomentosa, with alba being a non-accepted synonym. Famartin (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@Famartin: . I have taken the data from Catalogue of Life and World Plants which have been updated recently. Saludos.--MILEPRI (talk) 21:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Those are only one source, since the first identifies the second as its source. That seems insufficient. Famartin (talk) 22:11, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
@Famartin: . In POWO it is where they say that alba is synonymous with tomentosa. I have taken the data from Catalog and World Plants because they say that they give it 100% accuracy and it was updated on 02-18-2022. If you have more recent data that changes what you changed, please include it and undo the edit.Saludos.--MILEPRI (talk) 08:45, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Category:†Quercus

What is the purpose of Category:†Quercus? - Jmabel ! talk 02:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

It was a mistake. Corrected. I should have put †Quercus kobatakei.. Saludos. MILEPRI (talk) 08:55, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
That isn't any clearer to me. Is the "†" just to indicate this is extinct? We don't normally put that in the category name. - Jmabel ! talk 16:08, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
Exactamente. The sign means extinct and it is only put in the species, that's why it was a mistake, for putting it in the genus. MILEPRI (talk) 17:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
But I don't think it is usual Commons practice to put it even on the species category name. There are almost none of these; what few there exist are listed at the start of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=%E2%80%A0&to=&namespace=14. - Jmabel ! talk 18:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
Comment: special characters in cat names is beyond impractical. I've seen extinct species and other taxonomy levels sortkeyed by it, though. That seems like a good compromise. --Pitke (talk) 13:07, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am trying to understand this https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3AAllium_polyanthum&diff=258282333&oldid=21886690 redirect.

Thanks for the warning. They are effectively two different species, I have already made the corresponding modification. The reason for being considered a synonym is because in 2017 (when the taxon was created) it appeared as a synonym in POWO. Saludos. MILEPRI (talk) 11:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi MILEPRI, after your last edit of this category I asked to provide an edit summary if you were going to revert my edit, but you failed to do so. Could you explain why you insist on having two links to the wikispecies page? The duplicate link adds clutter to the page and pushes the images down - and of course it is wanting to see the images which is the major reason that people visit the page. —  Junglenut | talk  09:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi again MILEPRI. As you have not responded to my question above with a valid reason for your actions, I will removed the duplicate link from the page. Please don't change it again. Cheers —  Junglenut | talk  05:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I have already answered you on your talk page. Saludos. MILEPRI (talk) 08:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
No, you made a comment on my talk page, but you didn't provide am answer to the question of why you think its necessary to have two links to the wikispecies page from the commons page. —  Junglenut | talk  08:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
You keep robotically adding this link to commons categories, with no explanation. Why? —  Junglenut | talk  11:50, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
I have given you the pertinent explanation. I have not modified the page, I have only added a link to wikispecies (see the history, where my intervention appears, only 7 bit). You have deleted that link and now, whoever wants to see that page cannot connect to wikispecies. That is not the accepted Commons standard.. MILEPRI (talk) 12:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
You're not understanding. There IS another link to Wikispecies in the infobox, your's is a duplicate of that. —  Junglenut | talk  21:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
In fact, I didn't understand what he was saying because he started by saying that he had turned the page and that made me have another idea of ​​what he wanted to tell me. Regarding the link to wikispecies, I have always put it and there may be thousands of edits that should be corrected. I think the most sensible thing is to ask a bot for help to make those changes. Saludos.. MILEPRI (talk) 10:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

 Comment the use of {{Ws}} on category pages should be considered deprecated since the introduction of Wikidata. We have long had interwiki links in the sidebar, and where the {{Wikidata infobox}} template is in place, then the interwiki link appears inside of that template where that data is present.

special:diff/881016704; please don't

Hi. That edit is entirely problematic and should not be done without there being a community consensus. Please look to edit in a considerate and informed means, and if there is potential for conflicting editing then start a conversation first to discuss your plan. Thanks.  billinghurst sDrewth 00:42, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I see that you have been applying a large moving of Callistemon to Melaleuca. I see NO consensus nor discussion about any of these so I would ask that you please move them all back to whence they were. You are then welcome to instigate a discussion about their categorisation and a proposed restructure. Thanks.  billinghurst sDrewth 00:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
As an administrator I have politely asked you to return pages to the status quo , pages that have been moved without consultation and consensus. I seem to have been ignored. Would you please resolve these, or indicate to me that you are refusing, so that I can undertake the process. Thanks.  billinghurst sDrewth 04:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
I just saw your notification at 9:08 on 06-11-2024 and I answered quickly, I am changing ''Callistemon'' to ''Melaleuca'' because the notification of ''edition conflict'' was made in 2016, In the intervening 8 years, virtually all sources have acknowledged this fact. I continue as the main source POWO, which seems to me to be the most credible. If you think I don't have to change it, tell me and I will undo everything done in commons. Saludos.

Conexión con Wikidata

Hola, MILEPRI. ¿Qué tal todo? Antes, cuando yo estaba activo por allá, te veía mucho trabajando por Wikipedia en español y me hace ilusión ver que sigues aportando a todos estos proyectos. :) Solo quería comentarte que, para que funcione la ficha con datos de Wikidata que se incluye en las categorías de Commons, es necesario enlazar la categoría con el ítem de Wikidata, donde irán enlazadas también páginas como las de Wikispecies o las de las Wikipedias en otros idiomas. Es muy sencillo de hacer: vas al ítem concreto y copias el nombre de la categoría de Commons (con el Category: incluido) en la caja de abajo, donde se indica «Otros sitios». He enlazado ya algunas de tus categorías creadas más recientemente y, en caso de que necesites ayuda, siempre me puedes escribir. Un cordial saludo: Alavense (talk) 16:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Medicago ciliaris

Hi MILEPRI, Why is Category:Medicago ciliaris redirected to Category:Medicago lupulina? There is a wikispecies entry https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Medicago_ciliaris and none of the images in Medicago ciliaris look even remotely like they could be Medicago lupulina. WFO lists three versions of Medicago ciliaris. One of them is a synonym of Medicago orbicularis, one is a synonym of Medicago lupulina, and the third ane is the species listed at WikiSpecies, https://worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-1000002775 (accepted species). The misleading redirection should be reverted IMO. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 15:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I've checked the page and can't find any errors because there's no image. If you've already checked and found an error, please make the necessary changes. MILEPRI (talk) 17:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
Medicago lupulina has fruits that lack spines. All of the fruits of the images on the gallery page Medicago ciliaris (which is categorized as belonging to Category:Medicago lupulina) are spiny, except for File:Medicago ciliaris seeds.JPG (which might be Medicago lupulina), but the images are categorized as Category:Medicago intertexta subsp. ciliaris (a homotypic synonym of Medicago ciliaris (L.) All.) or as Medicago lupulina (which is wrong) or as a subcategory. This is a taxonomic mess. I'll clean it up as good as possible without changing the category redirect. However, this is still misleading IMO. I don't know how to change it, but Category:Medicago ciliata should redirect to Category:Medicago intertexta subsp. ciliaris (or preferably vice versa). --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 22:06, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
I am sorry, but there is no Medicago lupulina in gallery Medicago ciliaris, of course. The fruits are spiny (and ciliate), not the seeds. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 22:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
I also changed the category redirect of Category:Medicago ciliaris. If someone thinks that the redirect should be inverted because Wikispecies says so, then so be it. I am not going to do this, but the redirect to Category:Medicago lupulina was misleading. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 22:55, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Please clean up your Saintpaulia mess

A few years back, you went ahead and merged dozens (hundreds?) of files and categories of Saintpaulia into Streptocarpus, apparently because a recent publication decided SPs are too genetically similar to SCs to warrant having their own genus. Fine. Merging is perfectly reasonable for categories for renamed/reallocated species etc. That doesn't cause conflicts.

What's not reasonable is doing that blindly for non-taxonomical genus-level categories of such drastically different groups of plants! Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia differ from the rest of Streps profoundly. They have different genitals, and produce different pigments, have acquired different morphologies and mutations, they do not interbreed (despite plenty of attempts by commercial breeders and hobbyists alike). There is nothing special about yellow and yellow combo Streps, main sect. Any yellow in Saintpaulia petals is a gigantic new discovery which is eagerly developed by breeders in recent years for fuller pigment. Even a simple solid yellow is still a dream. Mutations like 'Tommie Lou' and 'Champion' do not occur in the main sect. Many sect. Saintpaulia blossom and leaf forms are irrelevant to main sect Streps. Wildtype Saintpaulias have no epiphylly or vein patterns directing pollinators towards the genitals. The flowers are relatively flat and attract pollinators with the bright yellow pollen sacs. No one would have suspected these plants to be, genetically, so closely related if it weren't for modern DNA sequencing, and frankly, sorting them by the DNA similarity and not their obvious morphological categories is foolishness when Commons is about providing media in a structure usable by humans, and not about staying on top of taxonomical research.

Sure, for most cultivars we don't know for certain what their species origin is (many descend from hybrids), and that's if the name is even known. So renaming to 'Streptocarpus ionantha cultivars with XYZ' or whatever would not have been an option—but 'Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia cultivars with XYZ' was right there! And 'Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia cultivars', and -flowers, etc. etc. Had there been a discussion on what to do with Saintpaulia—which I don't think there ever was—perhaps a consensus could have even been reached on not renaming the categories at all, and merely acknowledging the reclassification into genus Streptocarpus in an information template on top of each affected category, something like

'As of 20XX, genetic research has prompted botanists to consider Saintpaulia a subgenus/section/?? of Streptocarpus. In the interest of practicality and clarity, and due to the great morphological differences between former Saintpaulia and the other Streprocarpus species, and the continued use of Saintpaulia in plant trade, it's been decided these categories on Wikimedia Commons will not be renamed to reflect the reclassification.'

I did a lot of sorting work on our collection of mostly NOID Saintpaulia cultivar images, now they're carelessly mixed in with main section Streps and frankly, even though I noticed this more than a year ago, I'm still too peeved to personally lift a finger to manually undo the changes you short-sightedly committed with HotCat. I don't mind minute cat work but I will not do it to clean up after someone without even knowing whether the culprit understands the problem, so they don't just go back and re-revert the changes.

Please respond so I know you understand. And then, please, go back and fix the changes you did, even if it's by filing a bot job request. --Pitke (talk) 13:39, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

I have reviewed the changes I made in 2021 and believe that the genus ''Santapaulia'' according to POWO [https://powo.science.kew.org/results?q=Saintpaulia] is a synonym of ''Streptocarpus''. If you believe there is an incorrect taxon, you should amend it, citing any references you have available. I do not have the references to amend what I have already edited. Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 07:20, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
My issue is not with the correctness or incorrectness of the taxonomic classification. I think you did not read my message entirely because I do address this at various points. --Pitke (talk) 09:05, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
I'm not an expert in this field, and I can't solve what you're asking. I suggest you discuss it in the community to reach a consensus, or send me reliable references so I can correct what I've changed..Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 09:15, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth 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 (2024) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Misidentification of botanical illustrations

Hi MILEPRI, I found that you misidentified some botanical illustrations. Some examples that I corrected can be found above. Please always consider where the book was written (in this case in Britain), what the authors wrote onto the image, how the respective plant looks like and especially what the text in the book says about the characteristics of the plant and its habitat and distribution, if the text is accessible (as with Elizabeth Blackwell's book). This requires some knowledge and frequently quite a lot of time. Please also consider that lack of identification is much better than misidentification. Some plants may be labeled wrongly by the authors, such as the Sorbus image above, which cannot be Sorbus torminalis due to its leaves, even though the author said so. I might contact you again for some grass images (Setaria pumila, previously S. glauca), where your ID looks formally correct, because the names in the books are supposed to be synonyms of your identification, but unfortunately your ID looks wildly wrong anyway. But I need a little more time to collect all the facts before making the changes. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 09:55, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate your information (I see you have already made the change). I must inform you that I made those changes almost 10 years ago and usually use data from POWO, which now indicates that Ampelopsis arborea is a synonym of Nekemias arborea ¿?. On Wikispecies, I change old names that have been replaced by others on a daily basis.. Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 10:28, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated page should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much!

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it.

Please remember to respond to and if appropriate contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Hi MILEPRI. I noticed that a deletion request you made was not done correctly.

This is not an unusual mistake, but I'm leaving you this message to help you get this right in the future.

There are several steps to making a deletion request (DR) correctly; among other things you must transclude the deletion into the correct daily DR list, and to notify the page creator and optionally other human (non-bot) editors of the page. By far the easiest way to do all of this correctly is to use the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests, which takes care of all that using vetted Javascript. If you prefer to add the {{Delete}} template or {{Category for discussion}} template manually, you are required to follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed). Again, though, there is no need to follow complex instructions if you use the automatic tools.

Also worth knowing: on Commons, {{Delete}} is not a "speedy delete" request like it is on many other projects; instead, it starts a discussion of whether the file should be deleted. If you think a particular media file really obviously does not belong on Commons, see the instructions at Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. Common cases that are better handled with a speedy delete than a DR include:

Common bad reasons people have for making DRs in the first place include:

  • after renaming a category, trying to delete the resulting redirect in violation of policy COM:CATRED
  • making a DR for a file where there is already a current DR
  • trying to delete one's own work within 7 days (use {{G7}} instead)
  • placing {{Delete}} on the deletion subpage itself, or on a talk page.

Also, please don't use {{Ffd}} (that's an English Wikipedia thing).

If you have further questions about the deletion process, you can ask them at COM:Help desk or COM:Village pump.  — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:10, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi MILEPRI. I noticed that a deletion request you made was not done correctly.

Rumex alpestris

Hi MILEPRI,
Apparently, someone decided that Rumex alpestris is a synonym of Rumex scutatus subsp. scutatus, which is a very bad idea, even if some early botanist used this as a synonym for Rumex scutatus. Rumex alpestris Jacq. is used by Infoflora (= Flora Helvetica, see https://www.infoflora.ch/de/flora/rumex-alpestris.html) for the species that has the name Rumex arifolius All. on Floraweb (https://www.floraweb.de/php/artenhome.php?name-use-id=5078). Therefore, simply moving everything from Category:Rumex alpestris to Category:Rumex scutatus subsp. scutatus was entirely wrong. Please move these back to Category:Rumex arifolius, as well as the gallery page. In addition, Category:Rumex alpestris should be redirected to Category:Rumex arifolius. Best regards --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 09:07, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

As you can see, I am taking the data from https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77224799-1 POWO, which is the most up-to-date since it uses references from IPNI. You can check that now Rumex alpestris is a synonym of Rumex scutatus subsp. scutatus. If you don't agree, you can inform the community so other taxonomists can indicate its current placement.. Saludos MILEPRI (talk) 10:32, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
I really don't know how to "inform the community" about this very obvious error and I have no clue why the Kew Gardens database did what it did. I just informed a botanist whom I personally know about this discussion and I added a brief note to the category talk page. It may well be that the entry from Kew Gardens is not even totally wrong, even though it makes an awful mess, because someone might have found that Jacquin's first specimen of Rumex alpestris is actually a misidentified Rumex scutatus. However, the species on Infoflora, i.e. https://www.infoflora.ch/de/flora/rumex-scutatus.html and https://www.infoflora.ch/de/flora/rumex-alpestris.html (also known aas Rumex arifolius All.), are entirely different species. As far as I could see all the images that you moved to Rumex scutatus subsp. scutatus are Rumex arifolius. I can offer to move them there manually, even though that may take some time and remove any misleading references to the disputed Rumex alpestris. However, I am in the middle of moving to a different place and I have not got so much time. All the best --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 17:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
