Passiflora antioquiensis

Just a comment that your photo of Passiflora antioquiensis is incorrectly named. The true P. antioquiensis has slender leaves, and the flowers are twice the size and look different. Check google for pictures.

Hello. I just noticed that you had retouched my picture of a yellow passionfruit to make it sharper - in fact the original was taken under suboptimal lighting conditions.
However, the flesh of the fruit looks too dark in your version, almost to the point of resembling that of a banana passionfruit. Could you please modify it so that the flesh looks lighter? The other pictures in the article might give you a good indication of its true colour. Unfortunately I'm not skilled with the GIMP or Photoshop, so I cannot do the editing myself.

Thanks in advance. --Fibonacci (talk) 04:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Finklez!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.
