all your pictures

Hallo Aroche,

I see you are uploading many pictures with the license {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}}. That's excellent. You are also organizing them well. The statement: Source : [1] however is puzzling, as it suggests that you took them from that site, while your license suggests that you made the pictures yourself. Could you please explain this difference?

Feel free to reply in French if that comes easier to you than English, I read a little bit of French so I'll try to understand it.

thanks in advance,

I have stopped contributing forv a while, so my answer is very late. The answer to this question is very simple, : I am the author of these phtos, and I am also the webmaster of this website[2], where I publish most of my pictures. I hope this is not a copyright problem.--Aroche 16:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Catégories

Salut, Aroche, content de voir que tu t'attaques cette fois-ci à flickr ! Pour les espèces que tu importes, il est important de les catégoriser précisement avec le nom scientifique de l'espèce, de façon à pouvoir les repérer plus facilement, comme par exemple avec ceci. Il faut bien sûr bleuir les catégories :) Cordialement. PurpleHz 00:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Merci de tes conseils. Par inexpérience, et peut-être aussi par paresse, j'étais assez réticent à créer de nouvelles catégories. J'essaierai de le faire à l'avenir.--Aroche 21:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Images de la flore de Thomé

Salut, merci pour les versions nettoyées des images. Je crois que c'est préférable de les charger sous un nouveau nom par exemple en remplacant 0 par 1 ou en ajoutant clean. Il faut alors ranger les versions propres dans la catégorie Thomé, Flora von Deutschland (modified).

Misidentification and broken link on the page Image:Veronica agrestis1.jpg

Dear Aroche,

Image:Veronica agrestis1.jpg is not Veronica agrestis. I believe that it might be Veronica persica instead. I added a note about the reasons for my opinion on the discussion page connected to the image. Apart from this the source link is broken. I suppose that you moved your pages elsewhere. You might consider moving the image to Veronica persica or to Category:Unidentified_Veronica and correcting the broken link.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Aroche!

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.

Bonjour Mister Aroche, je suis tombé par hasard sur le blason de Gouville-sur-Mer dont je suis l'auteur et j'ai été quelque peu étonné de la manière dont vous le représentez et le blasonnez, sans doute par ignorance de sa genèse liée à l'histoire même de notre commune. Les armoiries de Gouville ont été créées en 1999 à l'occasion du jumelage avec la ville d'Harburg, en Souabe (Bavière). Blasonnées par moi-même quelque peu féru en héraldique et approuvées par le Conseil municipal, elles sont désormais les armoiries officielles de notre ville. L'histoire de Gouville se partage dès l'origine entre terre et mer, d'où la partition entre sinople et azur qui sont également les couleurs du département de la Manche.

Du côté "terre", en 1789 le territoire du Gouville actuel se partageait entre trois paroisses, du nord au sud : Montcarville, Gouville et Linverville. Au moment de la création des communes, à la Révolution, il y eut quelque temps trois communes distinctes créées à partir de ces paroisses. Mais en 1792, alors que les curés de Montcarville et de Linverville refusaient de prêter serment, seul celui de Gouville adoptait la constitution civil du clergé et, en récompense, une seule commune, celle de Gouville, est venue rassembler les trois paroisses.D'où deux coqs tournés à "dextre" et un seul à "sénestre", car n'oublions pas que déjà à cette époque les traditionnalistes siégeaient à droite dans l'Assemblée et les progressistes à gauche. Le choix du "dextre" et du "senestre" au lieu du "contourné" explique plus clairement l'historique du blasonnement et éclaire en partie "l'enquerre" qui en découle normalement. D'autre part les coqs qui représentent les clochers dont ils sont les girouettes sont fixés sur une axe qui doit apparaître.

Du côté mer, le phare de Gouville qui fut bâti sur le rocher du Sénéquet à la suite du naufrage de l'Antilope était habité par des gardiens régulièrement relevés par mer et son entrée ne se situe pas au niveau du rocher lui-même souvent immergé mais à mi-hauteur de la tour peinte en noir vers le bas et en blanc vers le haut. D'autre part le rocher qui apparaît à mi-marée est ainsi symbolisé sur l'écu et l'onde d'où il émerge est blasonnée "d'azur" et se confond sur l'écu avec l'azur du ciel, seul le mouvement ondulé apparaît au pied du rocher, l'onde ne doit donc avoir aucune épaisseur.

J'espère que ces explications vous permettront de mieux comprendre mon intervention, alors que d'autre part je suis bien heureux pour notre commune que ses armes apparaissent sur le web.

Gentiana Acaulis vs Gentiana clusii

Hello Aroche. First of all excuse for my english(i'm not english!). I've noticed that you have categorized two file (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flora_Appennino_Tosco_Emiliano_001.JPG and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flora_Appennino_Tosco_Emiliano_002.JPG) as Gentiana acaulis. One other wikipedian say to me that flower was a Gentiana clusii (you can read at the address http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Innocenti.rob). It's wrong? Or may be possible? I have at least one other photo but i don't know if it can be useful. Say to me what you think. Thanks a lot.--Innocenti.rob (talk) 18:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Photo Jean et Jacques Médecin

Bonjour,

La photographie de Jean et Jacques Médecin que j'ai téléchargée provient du site des Archives départementales des Alpes Maritimes, où chaque photographie est clairement documentée par une légende, indiquant si elle est sous copyright, autorisée à la publication après demande préalable ou libre de droits. Cette photographie était libre de droits. Vous pouvez le vérifier vous-même à la page suivante : http://www.basesdocumentaires-cg06.fr/os-html/foto/home.html Merci de m'expliquer alors pourquoi la mention "libre de droits" ne suffit pas à sa publication sur Wikipédia (surtout si elle est d'un auteur inconnu !) et si les Archives des A-M elles-mêmes demandent qu'on mentionne bien sa provenance (ce qui est l'indication qu'elle est à la libre disposition de ceux qui veulent s'en servir !) --Praxinoa (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

J'ajoute une précision : pour accéder à la photo en question, chercher "Jacques Médecin" puis cliquer sur la photo n°7 dans la liste qui se présentera.

Bonjour, ce n'est pas par plaisir que j'ai demandé sa suppression, car cette image a une grande valeur encyclopédique.

Really aGekko ulikovskii?

Hello Aroche, you uploaded this image from flickr. Are you sure that it really shows a Gekko ulikovskii/Gekko badenii? I doubt this according to the description given in literature. But I have never seen them in reality, so I might be wrong. I would only want to know, if you are sure or do you only rely on the flickr title of the picture? – Felix Reimann (talk) 09:08, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Code issues in User:Aroche/common.js

Hi Aroche, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

1. You edited User:Aroche/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.

Thymelicus sylvestris

Iberis pinnata is a mistake, Scandix pecten-veneris is the correct name

Thanks for your observation. I make a mistake because Iberis pinnata and Scandix pecten veneris share dissimetric petals character. Thanks.--Victor M. Vicente Selvas (talk) 18:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
