Please link images
[edit]
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. Yuval Y § Chat § 17:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your beautiful photo.
i am french, sorry my english is not very goog. I would like to ask you a question :
are you sure that this photo is :
Hemithea aestivaria (in europe, it is not exactly this form (ex : http://www.entomart.be/nouveaux/NEO-0254-Hemithea.jpg ), and the color of legs are also different, and abdomen is brown..
thank you for your answer. (was this photo made in india ? in what region ?)
--F. Lamiot (talk) 22:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Lamiot
Yes this is Hemithea Aestivaria and this was identified as the Emerald by local experts before it was uploaded to the wiki.
This is a very regular moth found near the forested areas and is attracted to fluorescent light in homes. This picture was taken
in Mumbai at my own house

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 13:10, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Grammodes geometrica or Trigonodes hyppasia ?
[edit]Hello Ravivaidya
I am uploading Lepidoptera plates from Cramer and Stoll. See plate 250 D (Grammodes geometrica) and E (Trigonodes hyppasia).
Your photos of Grammodes geometrica (File:Grammodes geometrica.jpg and File:Grammodes geometrica1.jpg) could be misidentified, they look more like Trigonodes hyppasia, see pics at Barcode of Life.
What do you think about it? I'm not a lepidopterist, so maybe I'm wrong.
Greetings, Maarten Sepp (talk) 10:35, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Location?
[edit]Hello Ravivaidya - do you have a photo locations for File:Aethopyga vigorsii 1.jpg and File:Aethopyga vigorsii 2.jpg, please? Locations would help determine the subspecies involved (it seems the various subspecies are likely to be split into several species in the near future). Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:10, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Update - saw they were from Thane district, Maharashtra - that means they are Aethopyga vigorsii (recently split from A. siparaja); I have renamed the files accordingly - MPF (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Photo usage
[edit]Hi, I'm working on an educational videogame with which I'm trying to build a bridge between animal awareness and Pokemon fans among others. It started out as something small but it's getting bigger and more professional. I saw one of your pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Black_headed_ibis.jpg
And I would like your permission to use it under that license with the following attribution: Ravivaidya, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ravivaidya
Also, because I want to make sure there's no misunderstanding, you are the original photographer correct? It sometimes happens that another person simply takes a picture from somebody else and uploads it to wikipedia with a license to distribute. That is why I'm asking.
There is more information on the game here, including a short video that tells a little bit about the background: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/238178285/animalalbum
I also have a demo version of the game available so you can see for yourself in what way the pictures are presented: http://dromedarydreams.com/index/demo/0-8
Please let me know if I have your permission, if the picture is yours and if you want a different attribution.
With kind regards, Sjors Jansen (all.animalalbum@gmail.com) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Garfunkel_Jansen

Erebus
[edit]Your photo contribution of Erebus macrops is appreciated. It usually adds value to a natural history image if you add the location. Sometimes one can deduce the population, form or subspecies from the location. JMK (talk) 17:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
