June 2021[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Itacolumite has been reverted.
Your edit here to Itacolumite was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SYnwOU97EvU) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Please provide more useful edit summaries[edit]

Hi, can you please try to give more detailed edit summaries? "+" is basically useless to figure out what change you made without checking the entire edit. Thanks, Jumpytoo Talk 09:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commons images[edit]

Wikimedia Commons is full of mis-named (and sometimes mis-identified) images. You added File:Omoedus orbiculatus (14332377839).jpg to Omoedus, but the page is correctly in the category commons:Category:Zenodorus orbiculatus. You need to check not just the name of the image (which I have asked to be changed), but always the category, which is usually more correct. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:08, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You've done it again. File:Ischnocolus jerusalemensis, Jerusalem 20151105.jpg is correctly in the category commons:Category:Chaetopelma olivaceum. You must always check the category. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:24, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding incorrect images! File:Aysha velox.jpg you added to Aysha (spider) is not now in this genus as the category in Commons makes clear. There's no "Aysha velox" in the list of species in the article. You are making far too many errors. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:07, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you search Google for "Aysha velox" it does exist. Niterurea (talk) 09:13, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course the name does; it's a synonym for Hibana velox. As I said above, the Commons category makes this clear. If you don't understand what taxonomic synonyms are, you shouldn't be adding images. You must make sure:

The image is correctly identified.
The latest scientific name is being used, as per the sources in the article – use the taxonbar to find taxonomic databases.

You are simply not reading the information in Commons. The image you added to Calyptridium parryi is COMPLETELY WRONG! It's an image of an unidentified Cotoneaster, as anyone who knows anything about these plants can see and is made clear in the Commons category.

I can only keep repeating that you must look at the Commons category, not just the file name. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NEVER would I look at commons 💩Niterurea (talk) 09:29, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here's yet another example. The caption you added to the image you added to Rubrius says "Rubrius radulifer". But there's no such species listed in the article, nor in the World Spider Catalog – click on the link to it in the taxonbar. Rubrius radulifer is a synonym of Calacadia radulifera – see [1], so it doesn't belong at this article. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:24, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't misunderstand me. Adding correctly identified images to articles is a useful activity, but it does need care – read the information in Commons and check the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:27, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix talk pages[edit]

Hi, if you add an image to an article that did not have one before, please look at the talk page. If it has "image_requested" or "needs_photo", please change this. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:48, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
