Nea Smyrni

The bot has added the Nea Smyrni category to images that have nothing to do with it e.g. Αθηνά Τουμπίδου.jpg--Catlemur (talk) 22:41, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The pictures was taken in this city. But agree, that you have taken it out. Rudolphous (talk) 22:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Verkeerde categorie toegevoegd door Rudolphousbot

Dag Rudolphous, ik zag dat je bot bij File:Nothofagus antarctica D.jpg de categorie "Argentina photographs taken on 2000-07-06" heeft toegevoegd. Waarschijnlijk vanwege de categorie "Flora of Tierra del Fuego". De foto is echter genomen in België en niet in Argentinië. Ik weet dat men soms bij een plant een reeks "Flora of ..." categoriën zet. Jouw bot zou dan dezelfde reeks van landen photographs maken hetgeen mij niet juist lijkt. Wouter (talk) 15:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Hallo Wouter, dank voor de melding ik heb de categorie nagelopen. Rudolphous (talk) 18:21, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Overcategorization by the bot

I just reverted this edit: [1]. This is overcategorization. Category:Trifolieae in Vorarlberg is a subcategory of Category:Faboideae in Vorarlberg which is a subcategory of Category:Fabaceae in Vorarlberg. Therefore, adding Category:Fabaceae in Vorarlberg again was overcategorization. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 21:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear Rudolphous, the problem is the same with some categories "{species} in Ruhland": the Bot put to pictures a Category "{family} in Brandenburg". But the same category is upper category of pictures category "{species} in Ruhland", too. I've reverted this in the case of Category:Cerastium arvense in Ruhland. But there will be some others. Best regards --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 09:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hallo again, I've just fixed the file categories for Ruhland manually by Cat-a-lot. Think you will find out and fix the problem of the bot :-). And thanks for your work ! Best regards --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 11:32, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your messages. Will take care of this. Rudolphous (talk) 15:02, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Just wondering if you saw my comments at https://github.com/kaldari/iNaturalist2Commons/issues/9. Kaldari (talk) 05:16, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Goedemorgen

Ik begrijp uw wijzigingen op (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Netherlands_photographs_taken_on_2019-18-04&diff=next&oldid=553701772) niet. De foto is niet in 2019 gemaakt maar op 18 april 2021, 07:27:40. Groeten van --Famberhorst (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Goedemorgen Famberhorst, de categorie inhoud hoort te corresponderen met de titel. De foto zelf stond fout ingedeeld, bij deze aangepast. Mvg, Rudolphous (talk) 05:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Bedankt voor de correctie. Maar het kwartje is bij mij nog steeds niet gevallen wat ik verkeerd had gedaan.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:23, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Een categorie die heet "Categorie:Netherlands photographs taken on 2019-xx-yy" moet ook een template hebben van 2019 en niet 2021 zoals eerst het geval was. xx moet overigens ook de maand zijn en yy de dag. Nu staat dit (nog steeds) verkeerd om en is de categorie leeg. 05:29, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Wat moet ik nu nog veranderen?--Famberhorst (talk) 05:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Hallo Famberhorst, ik heb de categorie die leeg is verwijderd. Nu klopt alles weer. Als bij de volgende categorie jaar-maand-dag notatie aangehouden wordt gaat het vast een stuk beter. Rudolphous (talk) 05:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Van Speijkstraat (Q19624365)

Hallo Rudolphous 1831 J C Jan Speyk 1881 (of iets in die aard), daar vraag ik me af waar die datum 1881 vandaan komt. Had je daar enig idee van of zou dit te achterhalen zijn? Thanks. Lotje (talk) 11:00, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hallo Lotje, misschien is 1881 het bouwjaar van de woningen? Zie ook. Mvg, Rudolphous (talk) 11:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Bedankt Rudolphous! Ik had aan iets met een jubileum gedacht: 50 jaar Grts. Lotje (talk) 06:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Misidentification

Hi Rudolphous: This picture, which you uploaded back in 2019, has been misidentified. It is a male Western Tanager, not a Wilson's Warbler! Can you please move it to an appropriate filename, with categories adjusted to match? A quick look at photos in both categories will show you the differences; they're considerable! ;) MeegsC (talk) 14:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello MeegsC, Thanks for your notification. Took the ID from the source. Made the proposed changes, Best regards. Rudolphous (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Odd edit

Hi Rudolphous - any reasons for the change of Japan to Sri Lanka in this edit? The pic doesn't give any location, but the photographer's flickr photos are clearly Japanese in general; is there other evidence for suggesting the photo was taken in Sri Lanka? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 13:27, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello MPF, corrected this photo and a couple of others. Rudolphous (talk) 15:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! - MPF (talk) 20:04, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

RudolphousBot deprecated API calls

Hey!

It seems RudolphousBot is doing action=query&prop=info&intoken API calls, which has been deprecated since 2014. In support of phab:T280806, any chance you could update it to a more modern version of token fetching?

If it helps, it seems to be using a User Agent of Unknown/Unknown JWBF/DEVEL Apache-HttpClient/4.3.4 (java 1.5)

Thanks!

Reedy (talk) 00:09, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Just a ping on this... Your bot has made 100K deprecated calls in the last 24H. Reedy (talk) 17:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

I am using JWBF 3.1.x which is the latest. There is an issue since 2014, but nobody picked this up. Any clue when the deprecated api will be removed? I can try to make the changes myself. Rudolphous (talk) 18:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Automatische piloot

De bot heeft rare bewerkingen uitgevoerd op File:Duivendrecht Thalys.jpg. De opname is in Antwerpen Centraal, niet in Nederland. Duivendrecht is trouwens ook niet in Amsterdam maar in de gemeente Overamstel. Enkel op de filename afgaan kan heel misleidend zijn.Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:46, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

@Smiley.toerist: , er staat wel bij de beschrijving: Diverted and delayed Thalys run to an unusual destination on the destination board in Antwerp Central station Wat zou je voorstellen? Lotje (talk) 11:18, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

De plaats van opname is altijd (primair) bepalend. Bestemmingen spelen geen rol. Onder jouw redenering zou bij een luchthaven vertrekbord de tijdcategorieën van alle getoonde bestemmingen moeten opnemen.Smiley.toerist (talk) 11:24, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Hoi Smiley. De bestandsnaam is idd niet betrouwbaar. Dat Duivendrecht geen Amsterdam is ben ik van op de hoogte. Dit was inderdaad op basis van "2010 in Amsterdam", dat in september 2019 om meerdere redenen foutief was toegevoegd. Mooi dat het is opgelost. Dank hiervoor. Rudolphous (talk) 11:48, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect categorization

Just letting you know your bot incorrectly categorized File:Murghab river in Mary (1) (46050578212).jpg as from Afghanistan when it is from Turkmenistan. Zoozaz1 (talk) 18:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I checked the infobox, but saw later this rivers also flows to Turkmenistan. Rechecked now these images. Rudolphous (talk) 18:44, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Category:Netherlands

Rudolphous wat is het nut van deze en soorgelijke wijzigingen? Ik heb deze ongedaan gemaakt en bovendien ook categorie ALkmaar verwijderd (want categorie 2010 in Alkmaar in 2010 is daar een subcategorie van). HenkvD (talk)

Hallo HenkvD, ik vond een serie foto's in Heiloo en Alkmaar die niet gecategoriseerd waren. Deze was dat wel, dus helemaal eens met je wijzigingen. Rudolphous (talk) 10:27, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Adding location inside Taken On template

How long do you expect this bot task to last? I'm getting several hundred watchlist items per day (I can't turn off bots on my watchlist because there are other bots I have to monitor) which is rather annoying. Also, was there a community discussion or BRFA to approve a task of this scale? Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Pi.1415926535, I stopped the RudolphousBot and filed a request. With kind regards, Rudolphous (talk) 07:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Seems that {{According to Exif data}} has no parameter location. --Arnd (talk) 15:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Did update the documentation of this template. Rudolphous (talk) 16:25, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

More RudolphousBot issues

If and when you reactivate the bot, can you please reconfigure it to avoid overcategorizing files that already belong to subcategories of their respective "photograph by day by country" category?

For instance, those that make up Category:Rosamond Gifford Zoo, 8 May 2021, which was already a sub of Category:United States photographs taken on 2021-05-08 before the bot placed each individual image into the latter category as well.

-- Andre Carrotflower (talk) 20:58, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Sure. Rudolphous (talk) 05:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Infobox op straten

Hoi Rudolphous, fijn dat je ook infoboxen toevoegt aan categorieën van straten. Meestal sla ik die stap over omdat er een bot is die dat (na wat tijd) ook doet. Zelf gebruik ik trouwens Petscan om categorieën zonder Wikidata-link op te zoeken (ik kies daar Commons, vul een categorie in, plus zo nodig een diepte van 1 als geneste categorieën aanwezig zijn en categorieën om uit te sluiten, bij 'page properties' alleen de Category namespace en dan bij 'Wikidata' alleen 'pages without item').

Ik zag wel dat er bij Category:Frederik Hendriklaan, The Hague wat mis ging met de wikidata-link en daardoor de infobox de tramhalte gaf. Ik heb die link nu verplaatst naar het item voor de straat, maar soms duurt het even of is er een edit nodig voordat de infobox mee verandert.

Verder dus dank voor het meehelpen deze categorieën te linken, want het maakt Commons en Wikidata beide bruikbaarder, bijvoorbeeld met de coördinaten (soms zijn de Wikidata-items over straten wat 'kaal' zonder extra informatie, zelf doe ik er soms wat data bij uit bijvoorbeeld externe BAG-bronnen maar die komen meestal niet mee in de infobox en kunnen altijd later semi-automatisch door weer iemand anders worden toegevoegd). Wikidatist (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hallo Wikidatist, Bedankt voor je vriendelijke bericht. Ik zie dat hij nu correct is. Geen idee waarom hij de tramhalte aangaf. Soms kan je het proces versnellen door &action=purge aan de url toe te voegen. Die wikidata links zijn inderdaad een welkome aanvulling. Ik probeer er elke dag een aantal te doen, waardoor de artikelen zonder infobox elke dag weer een stukje minder wordt. Rudolphous (talk)

Carole Facal

Carole was in my class in elementary school. She was not born in 1980. Odds are she was born in 1976, though it is possible that I'm a year off (those born from October to December 1975 would have also been in the same grade... 1977 is a long shot possibility if she skipped kindergarten or first grade) BrianPetterson (talk) 08:30, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Brian, I was a bit wondering why you added this to my talk page. I think because RudolphousBot did add a wiki infobox to her commons category.

www.westhoekverbeeldt.be

Beste Rudolphous, ik maakte een eerste Wikipedia pagina aan in mijn kladblok. Ik maak gebruik van eigen foto's en van een paar foto's van de website. www.westhoekverbeeldt.be Ik kreeg daar enkele opmerkingen over aangaande de licentie. Ik stuurde daarvoor een mail naar Wikipedia commons om dit in orde te brengen. Ik kreeg van de eigenaars van de foto's de schriftelijke toestemming via e-mail om deze te publiceren. Ik werd al geholpen via een andere beheerder, maar hij gaf mij de tip om het nog eens te laten controleren door een Nederlandstalige beheerder. Ik zou graag mijn pagina publiceren en zeker zijn dat alles nu definitief in orde is. Alvast mijn oprechte dank.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Collecting data

Dear Rudolphous,

do you know, is there any tool or procedure that would collect the data on categorical geography items including its subitems? My idea is to try something like lt:Category:Jūrė, that would show the Commons categories within the town or city. Is this possible or the only way is to use the template and add the points manually? I talk specifically about Commons. CD (talk) 15:27, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi CD, I'm not aware of such a tool. Rudolphous (talk) 15:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Nieuwendijk

Hello Rudolphous, my last trip to Nieuwendijk in Amsterdam was five years ago. I liked your pictures from the houses in the street. Now I wanted to ask you if the shops are open and also souvenir shops open again?

The problem is that they are no more google recensions since two years. My son will have one of this ships and one black basball cap from the picture. I don't know if they have it now. 2016 to 2022 - Maybe it's sold out. The telephone number from the linked shop was invalid.

I know that I am a stranger to you, but I was really thankful for an answer, because I don't know where I can ask any person. And I will make pictures from Amsterdam for Commons. What motives are brought? --Klearbee (talk) 20:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes all shops are open again. Kind regards, Rudolphous (talk) 22:29, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Fehlbestimmung von File:Grenchen - Robertskruid (Geranium robertianum).jpg

• 

Hallo Rudolphous, das obige Bild war falscb bestimmt, da das sehr wahrscheinlich Geranium robertianum ist, aber auf keinen Fall Geranium purpureum. Die Farbe der Staubgefäße und insbesondere die langen Kelchhaare passen gar nicht zu Geranium purpureum, wohl aber zu Geranium robertianum, vgl. z. B. [3]. Mit freundlichen Grüßen --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2022 (UTC) Ergänzung: Offenbar war das ja teilweise schon korrigiert. Der Name stimmt. Die Kategorie war noch falsch und wurde von mir berichtigt. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:22, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Agree, this is 100% certainly Geranium robertianum. Rudolphous (talk) 20:22, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

Category:Boskoopse hefbrug

Je hebt indertijd deze category aangemaakt. Nu vaar ik daar af en toe en wij kennen hem als "Hefbrug Boskoop", zoal ook het bord aangeeft. Nog eens gekeken en ook nu is dat nog het geval. Bezwaar als ik de category hernoem? (Of wil je dat liever zelf doen?) Trouwens, ook Hefbrug Waddixveen zou hernoemd moeten worden, ook daar komt de naam van de category niet overeen met het bord op de brug. Idem Alphense hefbrug, die echt Hefbrug Gouwesluis heet. --Stunteltje (talk) 18:52, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

The bot moved all the pictures in the wrong place

All pictures in Category:Baie Nettlé, Marigot do not belong there. It made the same error at Concordia were tons of unrelated pictures were added. All the pictures in Baie Nettle do not belong there, because it's a beach and should be moved to La Belle Créole, a populated place in Saint-Martin and not a neighbourhood. Your bot broke it, you can fix it.KittenKlub (talk) 20:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Category:Jebel Ali Port

Hi Rudolphous. Way back in 2018 you created the Category:Jebel Ali Port as a redirect to Category:Jebel Ali. However today the two entities in question have specific and separate voices and contents so perhaps it would be appropriate to separate the two categories. I opened a discussion in Category talk:Jebel Ali Port. Let me know what you think. Thank you Mario1952 (talk) 10:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

My bot created a category two years ago that used a template. It looks like to me the template is changed by someone to something that does not work. Rudolphous (talk) 22:13, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Boerderij in Drenthe?

Hoi Rudolphous, het is alweer bijna 10 jaar geleden, maar weet je misschien nog waar je deze informatie vandaan had? Ik zag namelijk dat Joostik bij deze wijziging een strijdige categorie toevoegde en jouw toevoeging niet verwijderde, waardoor er vandaag nog steeds staat dat de boerderij én in Drenthe én in een onbekende Nederlandse provincie staat. Dat kan niet de bedoeling zijn. Groet, Apdency (talk) 08:02, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Hoi Apdency, Ja de file staat in de categrie "Possible Rijksmonumenten in Drenthe". Rudolphous (talk) 08:18, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Aha, ik zie het in de broncode (en 'hidden categories'), ja. Dan zal de toevoeging van Joostik dus onterecht zijn geweest, want die info was er in 2016 ook al. Apdency (talk) 08:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Rudolphous. May I ask you, why have you changed the name to Plectania melastoma? Not only it is clear, that the fungi is not Plectania melastoma, but also two of three votes on Mushroom observer are against this determination. Thanks. Xth-Floor (talk) 11:30, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Wrong location info added by bot

Hi! I just noticed this bot added "location: United States" in the EXIF template here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Medaille_New_York_Marathon_2017.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=758904977

There is no location info in the EXIF data, and the picture was not taken in the US. Where does the info come from?! --Tkarcher (talk) 08:52, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

File:Trithemis hecate, female? (6993821499).jpg

Hi! You transferred this file from Flickr in 2017 under current name, but meantime the species was reidentified (by author probably) as a female of Trithemis furva. I checked IUCN entries and this picture was made a little out of range of Trithemis hecate but Trithemis furva lives there indeed and is common. I think this file should be renamed and his category (Category:Trithemis hecate) removed because it will become empty. Could you do it? Pikador (talk) 08:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your messege, think I can agree with the new ID and made the changes as proposed. Also removed the image in use at some articles on other wiki's to not confuse users with showing a wrong image. Rudolphous (talk) 10:11, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I removed the picture from all other Wikis. What about the empty category? Leave it or delete it? Pikador (talk) 16:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

ISS photographs by date

Hey! Thanks for creating these categories, they're great. When I have time I'll probably create the by-year parent categories. Out of curiosity, would RudolphousBot be able to look through ISS-related photographs and change any {{Taken on}} to add "location=ISS" to take the place of the manual categories? For that matter, perhaps even convert non-templated dates to use the template? My thought is that more visibility = more awareness that these categories and this functionality exists, which might encourage more people to use them. Just an idea. — Huntster (t @ c) 00:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Request for adding India photographs category

Hello Rudolphous, hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask if your bot automatically adds the India photographs taken on yyyy-mm-dd for all the India photographs that are uploaded on Commons or does one need to request it? Either way, can you please add the relevant India photographs categories to the photographs I've clicked and uploaded? That would be of great help. Regards - DesiBoy101 (talk) 11:15, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Why? This / these are taken by my self, not yours

this pic ... and some other pictures. Many questions in my brain. NobbiP 13:38, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

your pics are ofcourse yours. Added a cat based on a search filter which was probably too wide. Will double check later today. Sorry for the brain questions. Rudolphous (talk) 14:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

iNaturalist request

Hi Rudolphous - I see you have an iNaturalist account, which I don't. Would you be willing to help out with giving names to a few misidentifications I have found there, when looking for pics to add to Commons? Some species seem to attract a lot more errors than others! First up, several "Pinus glabra" observations, with my identifications below:

• 1 is Pinus sylvestris
• 2 is Pinus sylvestris
• 3 is Pinus halepensis
• 4 is Pinus occidentalis seedling
• 5 is Casuarina sp.
• 6 is Casuarina sp.
• 7 is Casuarina sp.
• 8 is Casuarina sp.
• 9 is Casuarina sp.
• 10 is Casuarina sp.
• 11 is Pinus echinata
• 12 is Pinus virginiana
• 13 is Pinus echinata
• 14 is Pinus taeda

I'm sure there'll be more, if you're happy to do them :-) Thanks! - MPF (talk) 15:13, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi MPF, Good news. Just did them all. However creating an account is 1 minute work. I think you don't have to supply a real username, if you don't like for privacy concerns. Then you can make selections and identifty yourself on the source database. On the other hand I don't mind to do it for you if you prefer it that way. I've already seen that you have great expertise on birds and conifers.Rudolphous (talk) 15:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! I used to have an account, but had some political disagreements, so left :-) I missed this one above, its location is so vague that it doesn't show on the map:

• 15, another Casuarina sp. (interesting that this genus gives so many problems!!). And this one from a while ago:
• 16 is Ulex europaeus (how do people manage to misidentify such a common plant as a rarity!!!)

Thanks again! - MPF (talk) 17:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

2 x done. Rudolphous (talk) 17:57, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Super, thanks! - MPF (talk) 19:15, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

• 17 is Juniperus chinensis, and needs a red X for 'Organism is wild'!
• 18 is Pinus contorta subsp. latifolia
• 19 is Pinus contorta subsp. latifolia
• 20 is Pinus sylvestris, and needs a red X for 'Organism is wild'
• 21 is Pinus mugo (naturalised)
• 22 is Larix decidua (ref. the cone)
• 23 is Cedrus sp. (naturalised)
• 24 is planted in a botanical garden, so needs a red X for 'Organism is wild'

Thanks again! - MPF (talk) 17:32, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 Done Rudolphous (talk) 20:17, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Super, thanks! I see there's a come-back on the Picea koraiensis; I still maintain it is that. To respond to socogonzalez, Picea jezoensis does not have obtuse or rounded cone scales; its cones are very different, with good examples here, here, here; compare P. koraiensis here. The needle apex is not useful; if foliage from definitely the same tree can be found (difficult, as fallen cones can be carried a long way by wind, water, or animals!), a much more useful character is the stomata, hypostomatic in P. jezoensis (dense white stomatal bands below, glossy green with no stomata above, as in photo 2 here), amphistomatic in P. koraiensis (stomata ± equal on all sides of the leaves). - MPF (talk) 21:18, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 Done Rudolphous (talk) 05:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks again! I see 20 has replied; if you could let them know: "Hi Stallis - granted it is a somewhat unusual Scots Pine, but it is one; the longer-than-usual needles suggest a southern (probably French) origin, supported also by its very vigorous growth compared to Scottish specimens. No other two-needled pine has needles glaucous like this though, only Scots (other pines with glaucous needles have them in clusters of 5). Jack Pine can be excluded as it has much shorter needles (just 2.5-3.5 cm) which are grass-green to yellowish green, never glaucous. Compare these three: 171175466, 113932379, 161821363. Hope this helps!" - MPF (talk) 22:44, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Again, thanks! And some more :-))

• 26 is Melaleuca sp., not a conifer at all!
• 27 is the same photo as #22 above; Picea abies in reference to the foliage (not the cone!) this time.
• 28 is Pinus mugo, and is cultivated (shrub bed at a school), so a red X for 'Organism is wild'.
• 29 is correct, Pinus banksiana, but is plantation trees with no evidence of regeneration, so red X for 'Organism is wild'.
• 30 is correct, Pinus banksiana, but is plantation trees with no evidence of regeneration, so red X for 'Organism is wild'.
• 31 is correct, Pinus banksiana, but is planted trees at a museum with no evidence of regeneration, so red X for 'Organism is wild'.
• 32 is correct, Pinus banksiana, and shows evidence of regeneration, so green ✓ for wild.
