Bulbophyllum punctatum - Bulbophyllum punctatum

Hi Orchi!
Thanks for adding all the cat's to the Flora Brasiliensis pages. I'm now uploading Bulbophyllum's, the last pages of Flor.Bras.
[Plate 114 http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/137757#page/460/mode/1up] is Bulbophyllum punctatum, you made a redirect page from this spec. to Bulbophyllum baileyi, but that is a spec. from New Guinea and Australia. (Kew checklist.). I'll just edit the file for plate 114, I'll leave your redirect as it is, but maybe it should be changed. Kind greetings,
Maarten Sepp (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear Maarten, thanks for your perfect uploading. You are right with Bulbophyllum punctatum. I will differentiate more in Wikispecies and commons. KEW shows Bulbophyllum punctatum three times. Kew Gardens 'World Checklist' link : Bulbophyllum punctatum. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 17:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Großartig! Always a pleasure to work with you.

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Jumellea spp.

Hi! Following the Kew Gardens World Checklist Jumellea sagittata is a synonim of Jumellea arachnantha (see [1]). Do you think should be appropriate to merge the two pages (and rinominate the linked pictures)? --Esculapio (talk) 18:33, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Esculapio, best thanks you for your information. It is difficult to stay up to date with the taxonomy of KEW constantly, but we should try it. I'll merge the two species. Many greetings. Orchi (talk) 19:31, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Spontaneous orchid seedling

Dear Orchi,

Last year I had found a Dactylorhiza seedling in my lawn. See our discussion User_talk:Orchi/archive_2013#Spontaneous_orchid_seedling.
This year it is again appearing with more leaves.

• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling second year

I guess it is a Dactylorhiza fuchsii.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:02, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald,

my congratulations on the good care of your "garden-orchid". I think, your Dactylorhiza will not flower this year. Dactylorhiza fuchsii and Dactylorhiza majalis will flower in may.

We want to look forward to next year and then we will identify sure your plant. (By the way: I suppose, your identification could be right.)

Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Best Orchi,

The plant will well flower this year. See the attached picture, which I have taken this morning.

• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling second year

I will next month let you know it.

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Best Orchi,

The inflorescence is now opening. See the attached pictures, which I have taken this morning.

• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling opening
• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling - close-up of flower

It is apparently a plant of the majalis-group. I guess a Dactylorhisa praetermissa. What do you think?

Best regards,--Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 09:29, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald,

....please waite some days and make a photo of the inflorecence too. The first flower looks like praetermissa; but only Dactylorhisa praetermissa var. junialis has spotted leaves.

Perhaps it will be majalis.

Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 20:22, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Orchi,

Here you have two photos I made today.

• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling flowering
• 
  Dactylorhiza seedling - inflorescence

I guesss as youy suggested that it is a Dactylorhiza majalis. Habitat: not amended lawn on dry, somewhat calcareous loam.

Do you confirm it?

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 13:10, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald,

Have much fun at your new orchid. I think it is fairly sure Dactylorhiza majalis. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 20:19, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

{{Tysp}}

Hello my friend.
I intend to add Type information from Tropicos.
There is a {{Tysp}} but nothing for genus (the type genus of a family).
What would you like:

• That we change the label of {{Tysp}} to be "Type specimen" which works for species and genus => Change the content of {{Tysp/title}} for something more generic
• That I add a param type=genus to {{Tysp}} to change the label to "Type genus" => 2 LangSwitch in {{Tysp/title}}
• That I create {{Tygenus}} or {{Typegenus}} or ...

Cheers 10:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Dear Liné1,

I think your proposal is a good idea. Could you create the changes for genera in wikispecies too?

By the way, I hope that your great work for VN will go in function soon, when the connection to Wikidata will be constructed.

Cheers. Orchi (talk) 16:16, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello my friend.

Yes I also hope that VN improvements will be available.

About {{Tysp}}, it was a question.

What change should I do:

• Modify {{Tysp}} to change the label of {{Tysp}} to be "Type specimen" which works for species and genus => Change the content of {{Tysp/title}} for something more generic
• OR Modify {{Tysp}} to add a param type=genus to {{Tysp}} to change the label to "Type genus" => 2 LangSwitch in {{Tysp/title}}
• OR Create {{Tygenus}} or {{Typegenus}} or ...

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 13:11, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

....first I thought param solution should be the simplest. But now I think for the software greenhorns, like me, the self-explanatory {{Typegenus}} could be the best. What do you think? Cheers. Orchi (talk) 13:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

It is also my prefered choice.

I will show you the result. Cheers Liné1 (talk) 13:50, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

...thanks a lot. Orchi (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello my friend, I just created {{Typegenus}} as we discussed. Cheers Liné1 (talk) 08:47, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Kerstlingeröder Feld-Bilder

Hallo Orchi, herzlichen Dank für die Nachkategorisierung der vielen Bilder (jetzt ist die Serie erst mal durch). Habe mich nicht mehr getraut, die Knabenkräuter so zu bezeichnen, nachdem ich peinlicherweise eine Händelwurz als Knabenkraut bezeichnet hatte. Wenn Du weitere Verbesserungs- und sonstige Vorschläge hast (Bildbeschreibung, Kategorisierung, Umbenennen, Löschen etc.), kannst Du es einfach machen oder mir mitteilen, sonst wird ein großer Teil davon auf der Bestimmungsseite landen und dann nach und nach von mir mehr schlecht als recht kategorisiert werden. --Biodehio (talk) 21:16, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

....erst mal die Masse zwischengelagert. Orchi (talk) 21:22, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

P.S. bei mir sind übrigens die Bilder nach dem Öffnen querliegend.

Oh sch… – aber vielen Dank für Zwischenlagerung und den Hinweis! --Biodehio (talk) 21:28, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Bei mir ist alles ok, sowohl in den Thumbnails als auch nach Öffnen. Oh, jetzt sehe ich, in anderen Browsern habe ich das auch. Hatte vergessen, die orientation-Einträge auf den Exifs zu entfernen und die Bilder dann neu manuell auszurichten und gehe mal davon aus, dass es daran liegt. Bin aber heute zu faul, da noch was dran zu machen, und morgen wird es auch eng, denn ich kenne nur die Methode, jedes Bild zu bearbeiten und noch mal hochzuladen. Irgendwann wird es mal. Gute Nacht! --Biodehio (talk) 21:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Habe mal versucht, mich schlau zu machen. Mit {{rotate|0}} solte das gehen. Es wird aber auf der Beschreibung der Vorlage gebeten, das möglichst nicht zu verwenden ... was nun? Vielleicht probiere ich erstmal bei einem Bild aus, ob und wie es funktioniert. --Biodehio (talk) 17:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Rare orchids in the Belgian dunes

Dear Orchi,

When I was last weekend at the Belgian coast I have found two rare orchids in the dune near the harbour of Zeeebrugge, a Himantoglossum hircinum and two small populations of Ophrys apifera.

• 
  Himantoglossum hircinum (Zeebrugge)
• 
  Ophrys apifera (Zeebrugge)

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:01, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald, it's a wonderfull feeling to find such rare and splended plants. Cheers. Orchi (talk) 09:02, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Taxon categories

Hallo, Orchi. Should vernacular names appear first on taxon category pages? Is there a page somewhere with advice on the order in which elements should appear? I feel like I'm costing you extra work because I keep putting things in the wrong order. --Rrburke (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello Rrburke, thanks for your message.

First to your questions:

For the sequence of the vernacular names, there are no rules. At the moment it is probably a matter of personal taste.

For me you produce no extra work.

I like to explain my opinion on this matter to you: I see a difference between commons and wikispecies.

For wikispecies the scientific focus is in the foreground. Therefore, there are the vernacular names of minor importance and not the top of the information sequence.

In commons the academic information is very important, but not the most important source of information for common users worldwide.

In commons it is respectful and fair for me, that the common names and especially the non-Latin scripts are placed first of the galleries or categories.

For example, any Chinese or Arabic user should can read immediately at the top his important info like in no-biological themes. (e.g. like: Category:Churches or this way: Category:Automobiles)

Especially in the thausands pages of orchids I use the same formatting. This gives also the opportunity to make important changes by a Bot.

By the way, I think the template VN for commons could be maked smaller and more compact (one line scrolling left to right/right to left??).

I hope you understand my simple, not good English. Greetings. Orchi (talk) 12:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. And: Sie sprechen besser Englisch als ich sprechen Deutsch. --Rrburke (talk) 12:29, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

{{Unresolved}}

Hello my friend,
I created {{Unresolved}} that I add on some species categories for which I am not really sure of validity of the species name.
Could you look at {{Unresolved}} documentation and at Category:Unresolved taxon if you understand me explanation?
Then maybe you could provide a german version in {{Unresolved/i18n}} ?
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 06:42, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Salu Liné1,

thanks for your info. I understand your action. In {{Unresolved/i18n}} I formed a first text proposal in German.

Two points:

I will contact User:Thiotrix as taxonomic expert to control the text.

To use this template in categories and galleries (e.g. Phlox carnea) I used the word: "Seite" (page) for "categories" in the German text.

Cheers. Orchi (talk) 10:30, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Nigritella in the Queyras

Dear Orchi,

We are back from holiday in the Queyras, French Alps. Could these pink and red Nigritella be identified as Nigritella corneliana?

• 
  Pink Nigritella, Queyras
• 
  Red Nigritella, Queyras

Thank you for your help. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:07, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald,

it's allways difficult to identify a Nigritella by a photo only. But the first view and the location especially say: Nigritella corneliana or Gymnadenia corneliana.

I had a look at the wonderful pictures of your journey. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 14:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much.

FYI: In the Queyras I did not met any "black" Nigritella.

Could the red, pink and white Nigritella which I photographed last year in the Oisans, France, where I also met the "black" Nigritella rhellicani, also be identified as Nigritella corneliana?

• 
  Pink Nigritella, Oisans
• 
  Pink Nigritella, Oisans
• 
  Red Nigritella, Oisans
• 
  White Nigritella, Oisans

Do you agree? --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 15:34, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

...please wait a short time. I need help. Orchi (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Dear Réginald,

I had contact to BerndH. He is of the opinion that all four images from Oisans show Nigritella corneliana or Gymnadenia corneliana. You can give the pictures new names. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 20:25, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your appreciated help! I have renamed the pictures accordingly. Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 16:06, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

....and thanks to Bernd. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 16:08, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

subfamilies and tribes for Melastomataceae

Hello my friend,
You created the subfamilia Melastomatoideae and tribe Miconieae under Melastomataceae (But not the other subfamilies).
Do you really want to have intermediate taxa under Melastomataceae ?
If you do, I would need a source, because I need to create all subfamilia and tribes under Melastomataceae (I don't like families having categories only for some subfamilies).
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 14:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

.....long, long ago. I suppose my source was Wikispecies (by User:Ulei). Cheers. Orchi (talk) 16:49, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Orchidaceae

Hello Orchi,
I am not sure what source you followed in Orchidaceae.
Was it 'Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6' for the tribe and subtribe list?
If yes, do you want me to create a new source for {{Taxa}}, {{Genera}}:

• source=GeneraOrchidacearum
• displaying automatically "Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6"

  With a parution date ?

• with a link to kew or something else ?

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 10:43, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Salu Liné1,

As you can see on the category:Orchidaceae is under the info button:Info - taxonomic note the source of the orchids here in commons.

This taxonomy is the latest and the world's most recognized taxonomy on the basis of phylogenetic studies of the last years.

Most of Wikipedias are based on these data also. The six volumes of the work "Genera Orchidacearum (1999 - 2014)" are the results of scientific researches of KEW an other botanical instituts.

source= Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6 (1999-2014) by KEW ?!

Cheers. Orchi (talk) 12:11, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

You known source=Kew World Checklist displays Kew Gardens 'World Checklist'.

So I need:

• a short name like GeneraOrchidacearum2014
• a link url like [2]
• a display for the link like "Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6 (1999-2014)"

Example: source=GeneraOrchidacearum2014 could display Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6 (1999-2014)

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 15:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

...you're so fast. Unfortunately I can not quickly read my books :-( . Can you produce a combination of KEW and Genera Orchidacearum. That would be the right source. Cheers. Orchi (talk) 15:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

How are you combining Kew Gardens 'Vascular Plant' and Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6 (1999-2014) ?

Because Kew Gardens 'Vascular Plant' does not provide much info.

It would be difficult to create a source for a combination. (The combination is yours so you become the source).

But if they have the same information, you can do "source=GeneraOrchidacearum2014|source2=Kew Vascular Plant".

By the way, kew does not mean much, they have a lot of different databases (Kew Gardens 'World Checklist', Kew Gardens 'Vascular Plant'...), Kew Gardens 'Vascular Plant' being quite old, I think.

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

....then try please Kew Gardens 'World Checklist' and Genera Orchidacearum, Volume 1 - 6 (1999-2014). Cheers. Orchi (talk) 16:02, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't understand.

Are you using any kew database ?

Which kew database are you using ?

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 16:48, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

...I use the database of KEW (Kew Gardens 'World Checklist') for all orchids in commons. Then MBG and eMonocot and books. Cheers. Orchi (talk) 19:41, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Calypso bulbosa

Hi Orchi;

I'm curious to know why you removed five of my images from the Calypso bulbosa gallery in 2012? Some were unexceptional, but File:Calypso_bulbosa_5493.JPG is a valued image for that species.[3] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:07, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Walter, your splendid pictures you find here: Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis. By Luer it is one of the American varieties. On the gallery of Calypso bulbosa you see at the end of the page a link. Here you find the accepted species and varietates of Calypso bulbosa. [4].

The identification I made by your info and "Luer - The native orchids of the United States and Canada, (1975)" . When I created the Wikispecies article [5], I built the commons article also. Is it o.k. or do you have more recent informations? Cheers. Orchi (talk) 16:45, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Orchi; Thank you for the kind words about my photographs.

I'm sorry, but I missed the variety subpage you created. However, that suggests to me that other editors may do so as well. I question the wisdom of creating subspecies and variety subpages, except in exceptional cases. Images identified as to subspecies and variety are often our most valued pictures with correct identifications and location data. I prefer to list them first on a species gallery page. Images of individuals not identified by subspecies or variety, I place at the bottom with the heading "genus species subspecies/variety not specified". Unless the gallery page is very long, itself an indication that it should be trimmed, subheadings by plant part suffices, in combination with the table of contents, to make the images accessible to other editors. Be sure to tell me if this is not clear. Perhaps, I can practice my disused French.

Our Washington taxonomists say, "There is some range overlap between this and var. americana, and the varieties need study. Taxonomy follows FNA."[6] It appears to me that the individuals I've photographed west of the Cascade Range are separated by range from var. americana.[7]

Machine readable descriptions

Hi Orchi,

A lot (2750) of your wonderful plant photo's use a table format. For example File:Phalaenopsis schilleriana Orchi 922.jpg. These files have not got machine readable information (author, source, etc.) because of this. I see that you used Template:Specimen initialy. Would it be ok if I changed the files with the tables to machine readable data? And if so would you prefer me to use Specimen-template? (Btw: feel free to react in German, I can read German but writing it is a bit harder).

danke für Deine Grüße und die Nachricht. Nachdem Dein (?) Bot viele meiner Bilder zur Korrektur vorgeschlagen hat, habe ich die Bilder unter Benutzung Specimen-template wie hier geändert: File:Oncidium phalaenopsis Orchi 01.jpg.

Kannst Du die Bilder nach diesem Muster automatisch verändern? Das würde mir viel Arbeit ersparen. Könntest Du bitte vielleicht von meinen Bildern hier: Phalaenopsis schilleriana Deinen Bot mal einsetzen. Ich würde mir das Ergebnis gern einmal betrachten. Grüße.

Hi Orchi,

JarektBot is not my bot. However using visualfilechange I can change most of the files very quickly. I did a small test on a few files: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. After that I could try to put some things like for example the date in the correct field as well, but that is a bit more complicated. I think that this way it would be possible to add the Specimen-template to most of the files.

....das Ergebnis ist o.k. Eine Bitte: Könntest Du bitte nicht alle Bilder gleichzeitig bearbeiten. (je 100 ?) Dann könnte ich neue gültige Namen kontrollieren und wie hier ändern: File:Orchis morio Saarland 04.jpg. Der Name im Titel muss nicht geändert werden, da er mit dem neuen Namen verlinkt ist. Grüße. Orchi (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

I could do them 100 at a time, but that wouldn't be optimal. Would it be an idea to add the files I changed to a category. Something like "files to check by Orchi" after which you could take your time going through this category? "Der Name im Titel muss nicht geändert werden, da er mit dem neuen Namen verlinkt ist." you mean what happened at here? indeed something seemed to go wrong there because of two names between "" I will look if I can make it somehow that the second name and not the first one will be used. In those cases should I do something with the old authority and taxon name? I could for example change the description into the title (old name, authority, new name, authority). The only thing is that the description from the box is also added to the description field. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 23:13, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

...eine Kategorie anzulegen ist die beste Lösung, die Du vorgeschlagen hast. Dann kann ich Änderungen (die nicht immer als zweiter Name vorhanden sind) je nach Zeit vornehmen und die Kategorie mit cat a lot wieder leeren.. Grüße. Orchi (talk) 23:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, but next to the category I could try to use the second name, the only question then would be where to put the first name. I could also put the ones with 2 names in another category as the rest (2 categories). Mvg, Basvb (talk) 23:45, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

....Es sind viele alte Bilder, bei denen die Namen geändert sind. Mir wäre es am liebsten, die Daten wie im Muster zu übernehmen, dann kann ich gleichzeitig die Namen aktualisieren (Es gibt in der letzten Zeit viele Veränderungen). Gruß. Orchi (talk) 23:52, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

At Category:Files of Orchi with specimen template to check a small subset of 15 images can be found. If everything is ok I'll run that for all files. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 17:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

.....es funktioniert perfekt. :-) und ich kann sehr leicht die Daten aktualisieren. Grüße. Orchi (talk) 20:47, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I've changed 1300/2700 (the others didn't match my pattern, I'll try some other patterns). They can be found in Category:Files to check by user Orchi. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 21:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

...thanks!! Ich werde fleißig sein. Grüße. Orchi (talk) 21:23, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok I found the pattern for another 1000, so there's around 300 which I wasn't able to do with the bot. Indeed there's quite a lot to be busy with. It's a very nice collection of images, hopefully it'll be easier to find those wonderful pictures with the structured data. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 21:45, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
