Hello, Hectonichus!

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.

please do not over-categorize ![edit]

Hello,

please try to avoid redundant categories. For example, if you use "Erronea", do not use "Cypraeidae", as this last category contains the first. See COM:OVERCAT#Over-categorization

Yours,

Modifying images[edit]

I like what you did with File:Insect Safari - lepidopteran 028.jpg, but in general when substantively modifying someone else's image where the photographer did not request the modification, you should upload under a different name, and link the two images by using {{Extracted from}} on the new file and {{Extracted}} on the old. You should also describe what you actually did (not just "improved") and should indicate on the new file both the original credits for the photo and credit yourself for your modifications. - Jmabel ! talk 17:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you were adding Category:CC-BY-SA-3.0 on your uploads, presumably because you wish to release them under that license. The only proper way to do that is to add {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} (or {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}) on the image page; once you've done that, please remove the category, as it is added by the license template already (it's hidden, so you may not notice it, but it's there).

You must be aware, that I corrected some of your categories (on Cheliderpeton, Requienia, Inversoceras, Oonocerina, Planiscutellum, Metacalymene, Solenopeltis...).
A category should never self-categorize itself.
You also mix "Species" and "Genus".
Could you be more careful about that?
By the way, I added the {{Taxonavigation}}, {{TPDB}} Thanks and good contributions. Liné1 (talk) 11:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I will try. Ciao. Hectonichus

Summer[edit]

I see you are taking some excellent insect portraits this year and earlier some botanic gardens photos. Very nice work. I hope you can take a few habitat photos in beautiful Italy this year.How about Val Noci, Genova (S. ferula) Best regards from Ireland Notafly (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I will do it. Ciao Robert.

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.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Pterophorus[edit]

Thank you for your attention. But if there is a category for the species is contained in the category of gender. That is why we do not put. Good luck in COMMONS :) --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK! Thank you.

Heliconius ismenius[edit]

Yes, I think you now have the correct species name. I am glad you put your pictures in the article as they were of excellent quality. I used a book called "A Swift Guide to Butterflies of Mexico and Central America" by Jeffrey Glassberg that described in detail the differences between this species and Eueides isabella as well as several very similar species. It is amazing how closely they mimic each other. Keep up the good work. Dger (talk) 15:49, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Misidentified plant images[edit]

Hi Hectonichus, I strongly suspect that the above photographs show Geranium pyrenaicum, not Geranium molle. There are no leaves close to the fruits in the images with flowers or fruits and the pedicels just below the flowers/fruits do not show any of the typical rather long hairs of Geranium molle, but the typical fine, very short hairs of Geranium pyrenaicum. The calyx is not visible in Image:Geraniaceae - Geranium molle.JPG, which suggests that the petals might be much longer than the calyx and the colour of the flower does not look as reddish as usual for Geranium molle, but exactly like Geranium pyrenaicum. I asked the users on an identification page in the German wikipedia (de:Wikipedia:Redaktion Biologie/Bestimmung) about the ID and got the answer "wahrscheinlich 'Geranium pyrenaicum'", i. e. "probably 'Geranium pyrenaicum'". I do not believe that there are any lookalikes in the area where the photographs were taken (i.e. in the French Alps) if Geranium molle can be excluded, at least not according to the Flora alpina. I am not completely sure about Image:Geraniaceae - Geranium molle-1.JPG, but if it was part of the same plants, it should be Geranium pyrenaicum as well. I have the intention to move the three images to Category:Geranium pyrenaicum and adapt the descriptions accordingly, unless you disagree with my suggestion. Wishing a Happy New Year 2013 to you --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert! The plant of these images had been identified as "Geraniun molle" by 2-3 users of the Italian Forum Natura Mediterraneo. But probably they were wrong. Please do whatever is necessary. Ciao.

Autopatrol given[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Morning ☼ (talk) 12:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Danaus erippus — really?[edit]

Hi Hectonichus,
Is this actually Danaus erippus? I raise these butterflies here in Argentina and as far as I know the males don't have that thick black stripe on the lower margin of their forewings. That is a trait of Danaus plexippus. -- GRuellan ^Hmm? 21:19, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Ciao, Gabriela. May be you are right, but please see the following site, where an image of D. erippus shows said black stripe on the lower margin of their forewings. Thank you.

Una pianta appenninica[edit]

Ciao Hectonichus, ho visto che ti intendi di flora italiana e ho pensato di chiederti questa cosa.

Creating Categories[edit]

Hi! Thanks for contributing new photos and new categories. However, please note the format for taxonomic templates is a little different than that of Wikipedia articles. The taxonavigation is structured differently: e.g. the taxobox template isn't used, instead we use Template:Taxonavigation. Also, the category created still needs to be placed into its own category, which does work the same way as Wikipedia categorization (e.g. Category:Galeodes blanchardi would go into Category:Galeodes which goes into Category:Galeodidae). Also, just FYI it's probably best to stick to major ranks like order, family, genus, and only create categories for other ranks (subfamily, superorder, etc.) if and when a single category is very full, as more in-between categories can make browsing images harder.

Are you sure it's Bombus pascuorum? Typical Bombus pascuorum looks like: and it's not completely brown. Imo it's rather B. humilis or B. muscorum. Can you check the identification of this beautiful specimen again? Best regards! --Ivar (talk) 12:14, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It has been identified by a real expert. Cfr

http://www.naturamediterraneo.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=79719 Anyway in doubt I change the image. Thank you.

Località di alcune tue foto[edit]

Ciao! Sono sempre io che ri-categorizzo immagini; sapresti dirmi dove hai scattato le seguenti foto, in modo da poterle sotto-categorizzare per regione?

Ho visto che hanno tutte qualche annetto, quindi non ci spero troppo, ma non si sa mai :) Grazie, -- Syrio posso aiutare? 15:29, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK. In ordine - Cerreto Ratti (AL), Serra Riccò (GE), Val Noci )GE), Valle Argentera (TO). Ciao.

Butterflies pictures[edit]

Hi Hectonichus, thank you for uploading your butterfly pictures! May I just make a small photographic suggestion: perhaps you shouldn't increase saturation and sharpness too much, it makes the pictures a bit unrealistic ;-) Cheers--LamBoet (talk) 12:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right! Thank you.

File:Nymphalidae - Argynnis niobe.JPG[edit]

Hi Hectonichus, this picture is Argynnis aglaja: see e.g. the shape of the discal markings of the hindwing and the presence of a basal spot in s1b of the forewing. --LamBoet (talk) 18:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Colias crocea[edit]

Hi Hectonichus, this picture and this one are not Colias crocea (as can be seen from the background colour and the thinner black margins). They show either C. hyale or C. alfacariensis: as these two species cannot be distinguished on pictures, please simply label the pictures as Colias sp.

Another thing: I see that you have been replacing many pictures on wikipedia with your own pictures. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you shouldn't do this for the moment, because as I already told you, your pictures have unrealistic colours...--LamBoet (talk) 17:04, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are right! I think this one could be C. alfacariensis, as the fore wings have a more rounded apex than C. hyale.

My course of action is to replace in Wikipedia a photo of another user only if I have a better picture or more representative of the characteristics of the treated species .

In the future I will try to limit my interventions with Photoshop. However I do not think that such a treatment in any case lead to unrealistic photos. Usually I just correct a little overexposed or underexposed photos, and, where appropriate, I accentuate a little the sharpness.

Many thanks for your suggestions. Since we have similar interests, let’s know each other better and let’s keep in touch.

Ciao. Ettore

Hi Ettore, thank you for your understanding :-) Photoshop is a great tool but its automatized contrast/colour/tone functions are sometimes more violent than they seem to be. With such nuanced subjects as butterflies and flowers, a trained eye easily notices it when colours have been too much tampered with ;-)

As regards the identification of these two Colias’s: my opinion (shared by other lepidopterists I have talked with) is that the commonly quoted morphological criteria are not enough to separate hyale from alfacariensis based on a picture: these criteria are quite inconstant and only work when considering a series of specimens from a given location. So I really recommend to keep these two pictures as Unidentified Colias, unless you have some strong external evidence (hostplant, caterpillar, biotope) to support the identification as alfacariensis.--LamBoet (talk) 22:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Un grazie per WLM e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per te[edit]

Wikimedia Italia

Gentile Hectonichus,

oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti di aver partecipato a Wiki Loves Monuments Italia. Il tuo contributo è particolarmente apprezzato perché una tua foto è usata in una voce di Wikipedia o altro progetto Wikimedia.

Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.

Il libro comprende anche un capitolo sul tuo lavoro! Si parla infatti di libertà di panorama, cioè la libertà di fare e diffondere foto come le tue, ma tutto l'anno e su tutti i monumenti d'Italia. Finché resta la legge attuale, per aumentare le foto caricabili puoi chiedere a un ente vicino a te di aderire a Wiki Loves Monuments. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.

Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.

Grazie ancora e a presto,

Lorenzo Losa (msg) 10:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stomorhina lunata[edit]

Hi Hectonichus: I was reading the English wikipedia Stomorhina lunata article today, and saw your photo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calliphoridae_-_Stomorhina_lunata.JPG) there. I think it's been misidentified as a female. It clearly has orange on the tergites (the segments of the abdomen) and females show only gray there. I thought you might want to update the description!

Hoverfly ID[edit]

Hi Hectonichus: I'm wondering about the ID on this picture. It's been indentified as a female Volucella inanis, but that species should show yellow bands on T2. This fly shows chestnut bands on T2, which makes it Volucella zonaria. Or am I missing something? MeegsC (talk) 14:15, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
