[NB not cross-posted] There are some great images there thank you - but the metadata is thin, and that has in the past caused complaints from the commons community, when large numbers of images are uploaded. For instance: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1008_Discharging_ballast_water.jpg is categorised as "Shipping industry in Australia" and "Pests in Australia" - the dormer is a red link, and the latter applies to the associated text, but not the image - and that text doesn't really describe the image, either. In: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1038_Alcides_metaurus_Uraniidae.jpg which is categorised as "Insects in Australia", a better category is in the file name: "Alcides metaurus". While I'd be content to host such images on Commons pending categorisation, and to run activities crowdsourcing such categories - and while this is a useful learning exercise - others may not. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Glamtools mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/glamtools
