Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Medeniacus!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Little point

Hello Medeniacus, thanks for your good pictures. A little tip: please have a look here: Commons:Categories.
When you can identify the species, it is not useful to put the pictures in all taxon-categories. Greetings. Orchi (talk) 18:16, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Medeniacus, on a similar note, if you put a picture in Category:Pirot, then you should not put it in Category:Pirot District because this is overcategorization (for more explanations please re-read COM:OVERCAT), and not in Category:Pirot municipality either because it is a redirected category. Thank you in advance--LamBoet (talk) 17:54, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

I will have that on mind. Thanks.--Medeniacus (talk) 19:51, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! Similarly, you are not supposed to put anything in Category:Butterflies, the species-level categories are enough. ;-)--LamBoet (talk) 19:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Hahaha. Ok. Thanks. Should I remove all those butterflies tags? I have problems with following all the rules, obviously :D--Medeniacus (talk) 20:18, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I see that you have removed them. Thanks for that :) This won't happen again :)--Medeniacus (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem at all :-)--LamBoet (talk) 21:54, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Polyommatus admetus 1 Esper, 1783.jpg

Hi Medeniacus, thank you for uploading your butterfly pictures. May I just make two remarks:

• I think this one is daphnis, not admetus: do you agree, and can you please make the correction?
• Please don't categorize your pictures in Category:Butterflies, it's not what it's meant for, and putting just the species category is enough :-)

Cheers--LamBoet (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I changed the body of text, but I dont know how to rename file. I see that I made mistake accidentally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medeniacus (talk • contribs) 16:08, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Medeniacus; so, you can't rename the file yourself, but you can request a renaming : use the "more → move" function near the top right of the page (as mentioned in this page) and indicate the new name you want. A user with filemoving rights (like me) will then do the renaming.--LamBoet (talk) 23:58, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Species name is changed now. Waiting for admin to approve it.--Medeniacus (talk) 00:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Category:Hipparchia volgensis

Hi, it looks like you need some help to create Category:Hipparchia volgensis. What I suggest is: look at the source code of a similar category, for example Category:Hipparchia neomiris, and copy it into your new category, just changing the species and author name. Then, you can re-categorize your 5 H. volgensis pictures using the HotCat gadget. --LamBoet (talk) 12:02, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

We meet again :D Im hopeless :D I changed the page as you suggested. Thanks again! --Medeniacus (talk) 13:13, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Pieris mannii (Mayer, 1851).jpg

Hi Medeniacus, may I ask what made you identify these butterflies as P. mannii? The sharp wing shape would suggest P. rapae; have you seen the upper side? --LamBoet (talk) 22:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Medeniacus, I have just set these as Pieris sp., and I did similar changes to a few other pictures (see your watchlist). Please be cautious with butterfly identification: staying at genus level is generally better than putting an uncertain species name ;-) --LamBoet (talk) 01:26, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
