I never categorize pictures. There are several reasons for this:
Also see the vote commons had on this topic
I don't remember i removed a genus cat recently. If i did it, it was a mistake... Note : if you import pictures, please categorize them, at least with the species cat. Best regards. Guérin Nicolas (messages) 20:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Teun Spaans, I am writing to ask about the use of a couple of images of yours from Wikimedia. I am working for a non-commercial biodiversity group “Biochange” in Ireland, making a web-based identification key of the plants of West Ireland. We would like to have images of plants next to their text descriptions.
I wanted to use some of your images from Wikimedia (ofRorippa amphibia and Gentianella campestris). These are accompanied by a GNU licence. In this licence it states that any “derivatives to be available under the same license”. Our identification key will be freely available for the public to use, however for various reasons I am unable to release it under a Creative Commons / GNU licence. Would you be able to grant me permission to use this image in the identification key nonetheless? (I would of course attribute it appropriately and the GNU licence would accompany the picture).
It would be very valuable for us if I could use these images as they are of plants I have not yet been able to find to photograph. Yours sincerely, Chloé Galley
In my months long task of making templates that should work on both galleries and categories for plant taxonomy, I have been using de.wikipedia for information concerning the Strasburger classification.
I find mis-spellings and missing genus and name controversies everywhere, as that one that you found recently. Yesterday however, I encountered a whole set of genus names which are not to be found at de.wikipedia. I bring this problem here to your talk page as you mentioned some knowledge of the plants content at that wikipedia. Many of the members of the old family Dicrastylidaceae who have somewhat been moved around into the family Lamiaceae's subfamily Prostantheroideae and tribe Westringieae.
Myfeelings about this is that there might be a subfamily not mentioned in the article de:Lippenblütler. Lippenblütler is a dastardly family to attempt to document logically, by the way and in defense of the article authors; and that is more than a feeling as I can provide plenty of documentation and examples to support this statement.
So, I bring these feelings and facts here with the idea that you might know of people at de.wikipedia who can find this missing group of genus. -- carol (talk) 23:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
de:Spezial:Linkliste/Bartblumen <-- has an article but is not included in the article for de:Lippenblütler that is just one example, there might be others. I don't know what to do with them here. -- carol (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.BotMultichillT 06:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dag Teun,
Ik heb maar een onnozele, kleine digitale camera.
Ik vond deze planten in het onderhout bij Vaujany (Grandes Rousses, Franse Alpen), dus met weinig daglicht. In deze niet ideale omstandigheden kon ik weinig focussen. Ik wilde ook niet de flits gebruiken, die de zachte kleuren van deze bloem - lilaroze bloem met smaragdgroene buis - flets zouden laten verschijnen. Zo werd het op een derde, onscherpe close-up ervan, die ik niet op Wikimedia heb durven oploaden.
De oorspronkelijke foto's zijn wel wat breder van totae omvang met een (te) kleine plant, die verloren staat in hun midden. Daarom heb ik de randen ervan wat weggenomen.
Jammer genoeg heb ik niet de gelegenheid gehad om deze zeldzame, amper 5 cm grote plant een tweede keer onder betere omstandigheden te kunnen fotogaferen.
Beste groeten, --Réginald (To reply) 17:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Beste Teun,
Jouw twee foto's File:Colchicum autumnale 001.jpgenFile:Colchicum autumnale 002.jpg zijn duidelijk niet van Colchicum alpinum, maar van Colchicum autumnale.
De gewone herfsttijloos, Colchicum alpinum, groeit overvloedig overal in de Alpen, waar hij vanaf midden augustus bloeit, dus 15 dagen eerder dan in het laagland.
Het zeldzame Colchicum alpinum heeft kleinere, slankere bloemen, die een fijne smaragdgroene buis hebben (duidelijk te zien op mij foto's). Deze miniatuur plant, die van midden juli tot midden augustus bloeit, wordt ook niet geregistreerd in de omgeving van de Mont Blanc. In Zwitserland is die slechts te vinden in de streek rond Zermatt (zie vindplaatsen van Colchicum alpinum), waar ik ze niet gevonden heb. Ik heb ze maar twee keer waargenomen in de Dauphiné, in de Grandes Rousses bij Vaujany en Alpe d'Huez.
Beste botanische groeten, --Réginald (To reply) 11:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion regarding the Categories "Fossil xxx" is occurring on Wp:ToL (here). As a member of the project you input is requested in to gain a larger view of the communities opinion on how to handle the points raised. Thanks --Kevmin (talk) 18:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TeunSpaans!
My name is Edoardo Bit, I am an architect and also a “young researcher” of the University of Ferarra (Italy). I am writing a book on the “green walls technologies” and I have found very interesting some photos in your Wikimedia Commons page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use them in my book. Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your Wikimedia Commons nickname) and the link of the pictures will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication. The pictures which I would use are: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zuurbes_R0021688.JPG?uselang=it http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gele_dovenetel_DSCF3597.JPG Thank you very much!

Dear Teun Spaans,
I am contacting you on behalf of Dr. Jane Goodall (www.janegoodall.org). Dr. Goodall is writing a book called Seeds of Hope: Wisdom and Wonder from the World of Plants (Grand Central Publishing, 2013), and would like to include your photo of an opium poppy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slaapbol_R0017601.JPG). We hope that you will grant us permission to publish your photo, along with an appropriate credit line which you may supply.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Christin

Ik heb deze foto op de pagina van Muizenoortje gezet. De naam van het bestand zegt "kelk", maar zichtbaar is het behaarde omwindsel (de plant is een composiet): er is geen echte "kelk" maar die bestaat hoogstens uit wat haren = pappus. Is het sowieso mogelijk de naam van het bestand te veranderen? PAvdK (talk) 08:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
