Image categories[edit]

In this Category, there are now images for Hypomyces armerniacus , Hypomyces aurantius , Hypomyces banningiae , Hypomyces deformans , Hypomyces rosellus , Hypomyces ochraceus , Hypomyces melanocarpus , Hypomyces succineus , Hypomyces papulasporae , Hypomyces microspermus , Hypomyces macrosporus . If you want to create categories for them, please do so as I am not familiar with Mushroom Fungi. All I know is that Commons did not have these images. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:54, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think we also have one image for Hypomyces spadiceus . Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now I have created the subcategories for Category:Hypomyces. Cheers, --Thiotrix (talk) 11:21, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category discussion warning

Flowers by season has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

A few more categories[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

In this category for Armillaria, I typed in a new category Here but I did not create it since I am not experienced with biology

Secondly, in this separate category, I uploaded a lot more different images for lichens like Lecanora albescens, Lecanora campestrsi, Lecanosa confuse down to Lecanora valesiaca but I did not create a category. There are several new images below in the Lecanora category...if you wish to create a new subcategory. Its your choice. All the images I uploaded have been reviewed. Regards from Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Leoboudv, the new categories for Armillaria and Lecanora have been created and images sorted. Cheers, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:32, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Several more categories[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

If you have time, you can create several subcategories from this general Boletus category such as

There is also one Lecanora subcategory that you can create:

Secondly, I uploaded a few images for the Xylobus category like X. subpileatus & X. illudens.

Finally, I uploaded new images here, here here and here for Pyroformes juniperus & nobilissimus and Russula ballouii & bicolor fungi. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done
But Category:Boletus tenax and Category:Boletus fraternus seem to be synonyms.
Tell me and I will transform them into category redirect to the correct cat.
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 08:12, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Liné1, for creating the categories. I redirected Boletus tenax to Xerocomus tenax, as it is in homotypic synonymy at Index Fungorum and COL. Boletus fraternus is in synonymy at Index Fungorum, but listed as accepted at Mycobank. Being a heterotypic synonym, I left it (provisionally) as an own category and made it a subcategory of Hortiboletus rubellus. Regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Subcategories for Xylobolus ✓ Done. Kind regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Russula bicolor

This is a separate Austroboletus category...if you wish to create a category of image I uploaded earlier. All images I uploaded have passed review

✓ Done. Best regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 08:36, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My final categories[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

Here are my final subcategories. Sometimes, I typed in an empty subcategory...and someone else creates it but there is no genus information in it.

I have no more subcategories. Have a good day, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:04, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories of Inocybe done. I wish you a good day, too, --Thiotrix (talk) 08:09, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank You. I actually found a single FINAL subcategory that someone created but it also has no taxonomic information below:
  • Category:Inocybe rennyi

A Question[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

These images are licensed freely but is it the right species? Is it worth it to upload to Commons? I am not sure if it is the right species since MycoBank says it is Inocybe fibrosa (Sowerby) Gillet but the MO person says it is a slightly different species-Kaufmann if you scroll through the page. Is it I. fibrosa? --Leoboudv (talk) 04:49, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Leoboudv, at Commons, we have an illustration of Inocybe fibrosa (Sowerby) Gillet, it looks a bit more yellowish-brounish than the images at MO. But I am not a mycologist, just a "categorizing expert", so I have to rely on databases like Mycobank and Fungorum. Of course, you can upload those photos of "Inocybe fibrosa sensu Kauffman" and store them provisionally in Category:Inocybe fibrosa. Additionally, we should put them in Category:Undescribed species, until someone will describe this entity as own taxon. --Thiotrix (talk) 09:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Final final cats[edit]

I did not create them; I just typed them and someone else created them. So it has no taxonomic data.


Apparently, Inocybe aurea is a very rare mushroom from this comment.I have now went through all the Inocybe categories available in Commons and got these free images from MO above. I will not bother you any more...and I am finished with Mushroom Observer. Thanks for all your help and I hope you can categorise them with taxonomic data. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:42, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Leoboudv, the subcategories for Inocybe are created or filled with taxonavigation and links. For "Inocybe jurana sensu Hesler", I made a new category, as this seems to be different from Inocybe jurana (which is synonymous to Inocybe adaequata) and yet undescribed taxon. Thank you for uploading all these images. And be welcome, if you need again help with categories. Kind regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 12:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear Thiotrix,

Thank You for all your help. Altogether I uploaded 295 images from Mushroom Observer from December 25, 2017 to now. Almost all were for images of species that did not exist on Commons. I am happy to help. If there is any more images, I will let you know. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:37, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My final total count is 314 images uploaded since December 25, 2017. The only image I wish I could get, but did not succeed since it was not free at Mushroom Observer or flickr was "Austroboletus occidentalis". Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:37, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Final final cats[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

Here are my final Boletus categories. It was very hard to get any Boletus specimens from Mushroom Observer.

  • PS: From my calculations, I uploaded 353 images out of nearly 7800 images from Mushroom Observer on Wikicommons or about 4.5% in nearly 2 months from December 25.

Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Categories done. Just ask me, if you need more categories. Best regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 11:57, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My upload[edit]

Many thanks for your edit on my upload here, but i think it's something like in vitro or vivarium. i don't know what it's name but when i bought it, they told me we can't tell you because it's our secret.

but they explained me used 7 material in it, most wonderful thing they said is the thing like clay in bottom of glass, they said it's a special Bacteria that keep plant (i don't know what plant name but they told me only this plant can live in this bottle) alive and you only need to every month drop a few water in glass and close it's till next moth, and plants stay alive for 3 years.

do you have more information about that bacteria and plant name?

--89.39.107.198 13:08, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I added category terrariums (it's a very little one). I have not yet seen such a "plant in the bottle". But without flowers, the plants are not identifiable. Regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

5 categories[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

First of all...thank you for taking the time to create proper categories with taxonimic data. It is appreciated.

Secondly, if you have the time, there are 6 more categories below. But take your time if you are tired.

It is surprising that no one uploaded this free images of missing species to Commons before. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:33, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These final categories[edit]

Dear Thiotrix,

When you have time, please create a category for these images. It can be tomorrow. There is no need to rush if you are tired.

I have no more Lepiota categories anyway. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Thiotrix, Thanks for your help above. Below are 4 new categories,

As an aside, all these images in Gomphus floccus here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Gomphus_floccosus Should be Redirected to “Turbinellus floccosus” instead of the reverse situation.

Please read the first paragraph of this wikipedia article where it says this species was once known as Gomphus floccus but is now known as Turbinellus floccusus. Secondly Mycobank here says that Turbinellus floccusus’ “current name” is indeed Turbinellus floccusus . Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:02, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Leoboudv, in 2008, Padamsee et al. published "The mushroom family Psathyrellaceae: Evidence for large-scale polyphyly of the genus Psathyrella." (PDF). Here they wanted to transfer Psathyrella echiniceps to Lacrymaria echiniceps. But neither Index Fungorum nor Mycobank nor NCBI have an entry for Lacrymaria echiniceps yet. Best regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 09:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have read in the publication of Padamsee et al. 2008. On page 427, they say: "Psathyrella echiniceps should be transferred to Lacrymella." But they did not made a taxonomically valid new combination, as they did not cite the basionym Hypholoma echiniceps G.F. Atk. with its full publication dates and page number. So the name Lacrymaria echiniceps is not validly published in this work (maybe elsewhere?). --Thiotrix (talk) 09:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded my 2000th image from MO today and intend to slow down now. Unfortunately another uploader named Josef Ppai tends to just create categories with no taxanomic data like these ones below.

Hello Leoboudv, fortunately I am more interested in biodiversity than in football... Thank you for all your uploads of fungi images. The Commons is growing very fast, there are hundreds of new images of living organisms daily, so work for categorizing people appears to be never ending. Usually it was considered to be sufficient to have all genus categories with full taxonomic data and actual subtaxon lists. From time to time, the Liné1Bot would insert the taxonavigation for all species categories that are included in those subtaxon lists. But due to phylogenetic research, many organisms have changed their scientific names recently, and may now be categorized under two or more names.

  •  Comment: I do notice that that the fungi project is very complex and many species have 2 or 3 different names. In fact, my true hobby is Egyptology as my Wikipedia Userpage says. That is why I uploaded many free Ancient Egyptian images here and here many years ago from flickr copyright owners who were willing to make their pictures free by changing the license. Everyone thinks only about Tutankhamun's funerary mask but they forget that the grave and mask of pharaoh Psusennes I was also found intact. Some Egyptian art like this are considered masterpieces. Ancient Egyptian art is 2000-4500 years old and no one makes them anymore. BUT...since MO's default image license is CC BY SA 3.0 and is free for wikipedia, I was willing to spend almost 6 months from December 25, 2017 uploading 2006 images onto Wikicommons.

Hi Thiotrix, there seems a problem regarding these species. As your redirect link shows, for Tropicos, Fagopyrum cymosum is a synonym of Fagopyrum dibotrys. However, for GRIN it's just reverse: The later (1966) published Fagopyrum dibotrysis is a synonym of the first (1832) published Fagopyrum cymosum. See [1]. So what to do? Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 05:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to Tropicos, Fagopyrum dibotrys (D. Don) H. Hara is based upon Polygonum dibotrys D. Don, which was described in Prodromus Florae Nepalensis 73., 1825. Fagopyrum cymosum (Trevir.) Meisn. is based upon Polygonum cymosum Trevir., which was described one year later (in Nova Acta Physico-medica Academiae Caesareae... 3: 177, 1826). So for Tropicos, the name Fagopyrum dibotrys has priority against Fagopyrum cymosum. But compare with IPNI, Polygonum cymosum Trevir., in: Index Seminum [Wroclaw/Breslau (Vratislav)] [2], 1824. If this description from 1824 is valid, the correct taxon name should be Fagopyrum cymosum. I will try to look for the protologues of the species descriptions. Kind regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 07:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here are the description of Polygonum dibotrys from 1825 and the description of Polygonum cymosum from 1826. But in the seedlist Index Seminum (Wroclaw) 2 from 1824 the listed name Polygonum cymosum is also accompanied by a short description. So this is a valid first description, and GRIN is right, the correct name of this taxon should be Fagopyrum cymosum. I will alter the categories at commons. Greetings, --Thiotrix (talk) 08:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WBR[edit]

Hello my friend, a new version of WBR is available here.
It corrects IUCN for example.

Do you know Category:Pages with biology property incorrect on Wikidata ?
It is filled with categories which wikidata item is problematic.
I already called for help on Wikidata but I can't remember who helped me. Was it you?
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my friend Liné1, thank you for your info about WBR. I always try to get the newest version, watching your French WBR userpage for this reason. It is such a helpful tool for my categorizing edits! This maintenance category with more than 8000 problematic items will be really a lot of work... but I don't know which Wikidata editor helped you here. When I create new categories, I always do the needed edits at Wikidata; or I correct them, if I get a "red notice" from VN, but that helps just for single pages and categories. For corrections on thousands of Wikidata pages, the support of a bot will be needed. Cheers, --Thiotrix (talk) 13:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, there is a magic wikidata query language. It even allows to modify the items.
Someone did once a run for me that solved all my problems.
But I don't know who ;-(

Adding wrong categories[edit]

Please, don't add wrong categories. This is completely usseless. This can be regarded as vandalism! Citrina (talk) 11:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Citrina: , this is a wiki. Everybody does his or her best here. If an image is categorized like the taxon name stated in the file name, this is not all all completely useless. If you know the correct species name, please just correct the error. That is like a wiki works. Regards, --Thiotrix (talk) 11:49, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't expect a pat on the back if you use 'Hotcat' the wrong way! There is no justification to add wrong categories if a file is uploaded under a wrong name. There is a big problem with wronlgy categorised and wrongly named images of plants here. The most striking example was Passiflora coccinea. Until I cleaned up the mess, not a single wiki about this plant had a correct picture. I saw Passiflora vitifolia and Passiflora miniata labeled as Passiflora coccinea. Even a picture that was clearly not Passiflora coccinea was regarded a best-quality image within the scope Passiflora coccinea. I raise my eyebrows when I see that. A pity, because there are a lot of good pictures. But they should be categorised in a correct way. Citrina (talk) 11:58, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I mostly do passion flowers and plants with edible fruits. I see a lot of errors with pictures of these plants. I don't expect it to be less worse with pictures of other plants I don't have knowledge and literature about. People have to be more careful with this subject. Citrina (talk) 12:13, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please, reply to my remarks in stead of complaining about rudeness. You are the one who was completely wrong by adding wrong categories. Don't walk away from your responsibility. Citrina (talk) 14:09, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I clean up your mistakes and I only get ungratefulnesss. That is not a constructive way to treat people. Don't come to my talk page if you have nothing useful to say. The way you behave is only a waste of time. Go into the appropiate points I make or be silent. Citrina (talk) 14:19, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You could have stayed away from my talk page in stead of being offended by this edit. Just shrug and go on with making appropriate edits. Citrina (talk) 14:28, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I just saw your edit was only a few days ago. You have to realise that I correct this kind of mistakes a lot. I am not going to look who made the edit and who can be offended by the way I correct mistakes. You might consider throwing this kind of pages away from your watchlist, if you have these pages on your watchlist. Citrina (talk) 14:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I told you on your talk page, that the "undo" is not the usual way to correct errorneous categorization. This is for undoing disruptive, vandalizing or complete nonsense edits. So every good-willing editor will be offended by this. With 174 edits, you are not very experienced with Commons. So please follow the Commons behavioural guidelines, this tipp is meant seriously! I have made nearly 250.000 categorizations here, and was never attacked by anyone before. If you should go on with your harassing, you risk to be blocked here. Please continue with your useful sorting of Passiflora and let other editors do their work. --Thiotrix (talk) 14:54, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you have already made more than 250.000 edits and stil make this kind of mistakes, I would like to ask you to stay away from the categorisation of plants. There are a lot of wrongly named and categorised plants. It takes a lot of time to clean that up and the only thing you do is complaining about the 'tone of voice'. Take your responsibility, admit that you are wrong and then we can work together to improve Commons. Blocks are not going to solve anything. I could go to the block page too, but I want you to have insight in your mistakes. Citrina (talk) 16:16, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The picture of the plant is correctly named and categorised now. With my efforts I can get things done. You could have done this as well. It is the quality of the edits that counts, not the quantity. Citrina (talk) 16:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Citrina:
Let me interrupt here.
Point 1: When you discuss someone's modifications, you should provide a link to that modification. It is easier for everyone.
Point 2: You should be aware that Thiotrix is a well known, well respected contributor.
So you are expected more calm and respect when you address him ;-)
Point 3: About what I understoud from your discussion: this change is a classical modification. It seems that the image was misnamed, and putting it in the species category will allow other contributor to detect the misnaming.
Sadly we don't have enough specialist in each taxon group to verify the identifications. So if you are a specialist, you are welcome. But wikipedia contribution means working with other contributors. Which is difficult.
