Hi Mrs Salo,

Coul you tell me whether the following statement corresponds to your expectations for a publication in my next book in French-speaking countries, such as France, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Morocco, or if it lacks an element declaration:

Blausternschen pictures

edit

Dear Annelis,

I wil revert your changes, because these are clearly pictures of Scilla sibirica, not Scilla bifolia.

Best botanical greetings, --Réginald (To reply) 11:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Here you have a picture of true Scilla bifolia.

 
Scilla bifolia

Thanks

edit

I looked again at one of the Scilla sibirica pictures in question and the description has a conflict now. Scilla sibirica seems to be Sibirischer Blaustern in German and not Zweiblättriger Blaustern which is Scilla bifolia. Well, at least half of the description is not in conflict with the category anymore. Annelis (talk) 9 March 2009

Beste Annelis,
I have changed Zweiblättriger Blaustern to Sibirischer Blaustern in the two conflicting descriptions. Everything is now OK.
Beste Grüße, --Réginald (To reply) 18:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Annelis!
 
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.

Larix speciosa

edit

Hi Anneli - sad to report, but this is a European Larch Larix decidua mislabelled, as easily visible from the bracts not exserted on the mature cone. As far as I am aware, Larix speciosa is not currently in cultivation anywhere outside of China. Can you report it to the University of Tartu Botanical Garden, please? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:44, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi MPF - It may be my mistake, not theirs. I don't remember anymore if I saw a label or not. But I think, it is not Larix decidua either. The needles are a little bit longer and the cones more pointed and I have never seen a Larix decidua cone with a branch growing from the top of it. There were several cones with little branches on top in this tree. It might be better to label it Unknown species. Maybe it is a hybrid of some kind. I'll try to write to Tartu and ask. Annelis (talk) 13:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi Anneli - sorry for the delay in replying; proliferous cones ("branch growing from the top") like this do occur rarely in Larix decidua, this is a minor genetic mutation which can happen regardless of the species. The cones are otherwise fully typical of L. decidua, and don't match any other species in the genus. Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 21:56, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
