Hi Tommy Kronkvist;
Leptosyne bigelovii is the accepted name of this species according to Jepson which cites Mort et al. 2004 Syst Bot 29:781--789; Strother 2006 FNANM 21:185--198.
The following formerly Coreopsis species have been reassigned to Leptosyne.
Hi @Wsiegmund: and thank you for the update. I have reverted my edit accordingly. I guess we should update Category:Coreopsis and the relevant subcategories too. In the best of worlds we should also update the corresponding pages in the different language versions of Wikipedia, but that's some 70 pages (including both species- and genera level pages as well as category pages) in a total of at least nine different languages... In any case I've made a note at the Wikispecies' Villlage Pump asking whether some Coreopsis are now considered Leptosyne, in order to shed more light on the issue.

Dear Tommy Kronkvist,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.
Thanks, the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 11:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
You've loaded up a picture of an Euphorbia leuconeura. Could You tell me perhaps the name of the plant, which is seen beside the Euphorbia leuconeura in that photo? I've such as one at home and would like to know more about it, but couldn't find it on the internet jet...:-)
Thank You very much!

Hello Toni, and please excuse my very late reply (now back after suffering from Covid-19).
That's actually also a species of Euphorbia. Euphorbia (also known as spurges) is one of the largest genera of flowering plants with more than 2,000 species. They vary a lot in size, colour, the shape of the leafs and so forth—and not only between species but within the same species as well. This particular species is commonly known as African Milk Bush. It's native to South Sudan, Burundi and Tanzania. The currently valid scientific name is Euphorbia umbellata but in cultivation it's best known as the heterotypic synonym Synadenium grantii. There are other synonyms as well: the basionym Synadenium umbellatum and the heterotypic synonyms Euphorbia pseudograntii and Synadenium umbellatum var. puberulum. It too comes in many sizes and colours: see this category for examples.
Please note that the sap of all Euphorbia is poisonous if ingested, so handle the plants with care and keep them away from children and cats.:-)
please stop it when you add descriptions. turkiye is not common, turkey is. ----modern_primatඞඞඞTALK 00:27, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
I fully agree, and I've changed the name of the country in the descriptions to for example Penceredeki güve, göz yanmıyor.jpg and Penceredeki güve, göz yanıyor.jpg which you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons last month. Nonetheless (and whether it's common or not), "Republic of Türkiye" (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) is the official name of the country. It's now officially used by for example the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council (UN, UNSC), the U.S. State Department (which handles the U.S. foreign policy), and the Pentagon. Furthermore the name "Republic of Türkiye" has been officially approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN), and this "new" spelling is also used by Australia's, Canada's, India's and New Zealand's (all English speaking) embassies in Ankara, Turkey. It's a simple fact, whether we like it or not.
