Hi. I came across an image you labeled with speedy deletion because you regard it as obsolete: Image:Map of USA Locator Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness.PNG. Unluckily I don't see why it should be obsolete. Can you provide the clear reason (with the alternative image which makes this image obsolete)? Greetings, Arnomane 12:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I have been trying to edit the "Red Deer" Page, based on a book called "Deer of the World: Their Evolution, Behavior, and Ecology" but have a problem trying to cite this book on the wikipedia page. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could tell me how. Thanks. --User: dlc_73 11:33 PM, October 15, 2006

Commons:Geocoding

Hi MONGO; You might find Commons:Geocoding of interest. By adding {{tl:Location dec}} when you upload images, you can find them on Google Earth and display them. Coordinates from topozone seem to give useful results. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I will check it out.--MONGO 17:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
It may take up to five minutes to download the picture links from the server. Be patient. Walter Siegmund (talk) 20:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. 78.54.220.78 14:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Many Thanks

Dear MONGO,
Thank you for supporting my Request for Adminship. I’m honored by your trust and will do my best to help build a better site. Durova 20:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Start small, close obvious deletion discussions. Get bolder with experience. Pretty soon Commons will have ten thousand images! (giggles, flees) ;)

Thank you for participating

Thanks for taking part in my RFA. It passed 29-5-0, and I appreciate and will take to heart all of the feedback, and do my absolute best to better Commons with the trust placed in me by the community as a whole. I know we've had our differences, and again I want to apologize, and assure you that what I'm doing here is honestly to help out. rootology (T) 17:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Howdy!

The snake depicted as Pituophis melanoleuca sayi is neither. It is a Banded Water Snake.

Hello, MONGO!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

File:Cormorant desoto.jpg

Hi Mongo - I was going through various 'Unidentified bird' categories, and happened on this one. The bird is clearly a Neotropic Cormorant, but according to the DeSoto NWR website, this species isn't on their bird list. My guess is most likely, the photo was taken somewhere else and mis-captioned as being at DeSoto. But if you are absolutely certain that is where the photo was taken, the DeSoto NWR staff will be extremely interested in full details of your sighting for their reserve records. Thanks! MPF (talk) 18:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi MPF...wow...well, I have no doubt that I took that image at DeSoto...in fact, that log is still there this year. The NWR staff have placed a few of these logs along the margins of DeSoto lake just for the purpose of giving waterfowl a roost. I surely appreciate you taking the time to make a better assessment of the species than I did...I just assumed it was a double-crested cormorant since they are much more common here. I think I will contact the refuge and inform them of the sighting, though the specifics are a bit cloudy now...hard to believe that was 3 years ago.--MONGO (talk) 03:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Heres the original untouched image I took that day....just uploaded again...need to clean it up a bit and replace the other older version...maybe I can get WSiegmund to do a cleanup, and delete the older upload, replacing it with this file instead...

--MONGO (talk) 03:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! The key points identifying it as Neotropic Cormorant are (1) the dark lores in front of and above the eye (yellow in D-c Cormorant), (2) the short, almost stubby dull grey bill, yellowish only at the base of the lower mandible, (3) the small body, and (4) the long tail. Don't worry about the record being 3 years old before being reported to the local recording authorities, it'll be far from the first time that's happened (Britain's first Blyth's Pipit was accepted when someone found a 100-year old skin in a museum drawer, previously misidentified as a commoner species!). If the recording authorities want my real name as identifier, drop me an e-mail via "E-mail this user" on my commons page. Beyond the local (DeSoto) recorders, I can see that the Nebraska and Iowa recorders will want to fight over whose juristiction it comes under! Your location data place it just a few metres on the Nebraska side of the border, but Iowa will want to know too if it went for a swim around . . . - MPF (talk) 13:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations to you both. It seems to me that one of you should post this event on Commons_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life since this may be a first occurrence for Commons/Wikipedia and of general interest. I tried editing MONGO's original but I'm not sure I improved it. I deleted the file with the bad name; it was unused. Walter Siegmund (talk) 03:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Nice work to both of you. I have just emailed a fellow at DeSoto so we'll see what he has to say about it. I doubt he edits here but maybe I can get him to allow me to parphrase any response he sends me via email. I will surely give MPF the honors of making the positive ID and allow him to have the opportunity to contact the WikiProject Tree of Life and inform them of this...I may have taken the image, but it would have languished and been incorrected labelled had MPF not taken the time to reevaluate this image...so most of this thanks surely goes to him...it is not impossible that the Neotropical Cormorant is not as rare a sighting at DeSoto as I might wish it to be, but then again, if it isn't, then others may also get the unusual but not too rare opportunity to see this interesting species at that location.--MONGO (talk) 02:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Here is a lousy image of the same bird, before I improved my speed shots and was new with my camera. I took the image one minute after the one above...just uploading for the sake of doing so...--MONGO (talk) 03:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

User rights

Hi MONGO; you now have autopatroller and file mover user rights. Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Wow...now if I can just learn the copyvio issues...BTW...I have 5 images of those bronze sculptures not yet deleted, if you're bored feel free to remove them from here...one at top and 4 at the bottom still...and the page can go away too after that.--MONGO (talk) 12:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

File:Canada Geese on frozen lake.jpg

We wanted to let you know that we've used one of your pictures in a project of ours: http://litpics.tumblr.com/post/10494271185/lit-a-history-of-the-moravian-church-by-joseph

We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.

We welcome any feedback about our site.

Thanks for sharing your pictures,
Samantha and Patrick
