ID of current VI for Pieris rapae questioned

[edit]

Hello Alvesgaspar, Your image File:Butterfly May 2008-3a.jpg is the current VI for the scope Pieris rapae but I've noticed that its category has been changed and that it is now classified in Category:Pieris brassicae. Could you confirm the ID of this butterfly (and if the VI seal is still relevant?). Thank you a lot, --Myrabella (talk) 07:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the extend of the black patch on the top of the upper wings would indeed indicate this specimen to be a Pieris brassicae rather than a Pieris rapae. Regards. Taxocat (talk) 12:27, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FPC

[edit]

Salut Alvesgaspar.

Merci pour la discussion, et surtout merci d'avoir fait l'effort de la mener en français. Tu te débrouilles très bien !
J'ai compris ce que tu voulais dire par personal agendas.
Je ne crois décidément pas que la FPC page soit en danger. Regarde ce qui se passe: les images qui ne sont pas dignes du label ne sont pas promues, tout simplement. La valeur des candidats est très inégale, mais le tri se fait quand même naturellement.
Le fait d'être passé à 7 votes "pour" fut une très bonne décision.
Ne t'inquiète pas trop à mon avis, le consensus est toujours difficile à obtenir, c'est la garantie.
Et ne vieillis pas trop vite: ce n'était pas mieux "avant" !!
Cordialement.--Jebulon (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Salut, Jebulon. Merci bien de tes mots sympathiques. FPC n’est peut-être pas encore moribond. En tout cas, il est en danger de devenir bien pire, si la tendance démagogique (qui est encore minoritaire) gagne plus d’adeptes. Le problème c’est que beaucoup de membres talentueux ont perdu l’intérêt (Richard, Benh, Luc, Diliff…) et n’ont pas étés totalement remplacés. Oui, je crois qu’avant le départ de ces gens-là FPC était bien mieux, mais peut-être les choses vont évoluer positivement. Ne t’en fait pas, ça ne me fait pas vieillir trop vite ! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:41, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Finalement, tu as peut-être raison, ça devient vraiment n'importe quoi, et parfois tout à fait nul !! Le pire, ce n'est pas tant la qualité très mauvaise de certaines images, que les soutiens qu'elles reçoivent !! --Jebulon (talk) 08:30, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don’t think we should be much worried with these sporadic events, my friend. Either they come and go like a wind or their agents slowly integrate into the spirit of the forum and become excellent contributors. What concerns me more are some deliberate campaigns apparently aimed at eroding the consensus we still have about important principles and whose motivations I don’t fully understand (but suspect are not the noblest). A long time ago I have learned about the different styles of leadership in the organizations and still remember three types: the objective-oriented, the people-oriented and the self-oriented. Transporting these concepts into our work here we could also imagine three caricatural types of editors participating in FPC as reviewers and nominators: those mainly concerned with the goals of the project, giving little attention to people’s motivations; those mainly focused on keeping a friendly atmosphere, relegating to a secondary plan the objectives of the forum; and those mainly concerned with their own asses. While we certainly need the two first types we could well live without the third, at least in the aspects related to organization and reviewing. Anyway I believe that most people here are well aware of the differences among us, accept our limitations, recognize our work and don’t get easily fooled. Je m’excuse de ne pas avoir écrit ça en français mais ça serait trop difficile! Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Je ne sais pas quoi dire, mon ami. Merci beaucoup! Dans ces querelles stupides et un peu artificielles, je me sens toujours seul et un peu têtu. C'est la conviction d'avoir raison et d'être observé de loin par la majorité des utilizateurs qui me fait continuer. Mais je ne le fait pas avec plaisir; le rôle de gendarme me gêne et je sens souvent l'envie de le laisser aux autres. Peut-être je dois le faire? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:36, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
J’ai longuement réfléchis à ce que tu m’a dis. Et à ce que tu fais. Je vais aller vers cette voie difficile qui consiste à ne pas faire de concessions. Je l’ai évitée jusqu’ici car elle génère beaucoup d‘inimitiés et elle expose à recevoir des coups. Mais je sens bien que tu as raison. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  1. It's a whole fly, not only an eye and therefore should not be listed here
  2. It's an insect, therefore eyes of flys go in Category:Insect compound eyes

Kersti (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On this photo is NOT an eye but a whole animal. We can't put every photo of an animal which HAS an eye in this category. Kersti (talk) 21:50, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

en:Holoptic: "Holoptic refers to the way the eyes of a dipteran (true fly) meet along the dorsal length of its head. Holoptic eyes are typical of several diptera males, in particular the Syrphidae (hoverflies)."
To me that means: If you think, that this is a valid criterium to categorice Flies, it may be sensible to make up a Category:Dipterans with holoptic eyes (and cite this sentence in the category description) - there someone watching the image without special knowledge of dipteran morphological details may understand why the Fly is listed there. As I didn't know why you categoriced the fly this way, I thought, that you thought "Oh what funny striped eyes" - and I think most people, who are not Diptera specialists or maybe emtomologists may have the same idea! --Kersti (talk) 13:12, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After a short look in the fly categories: in two genera I found at least 20 Pictures where you can see the holoptic eyes, therefore I would guess that there are about 100 pictures meeting this criterium. --Kersti (talk) 13:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because in such a category my "throwing out whole animals"-reflex automatically will be activated. ;-) One category is for eyes, the other one for animal with a special type of eye. As Body part categories usually contain ONLY pictures of the part and malformations of this part, while the species categories contain all pictures, holoptic eyes would be a category only containing eyes or maybe heads. And if one of the species has enough fotos one can sort the animals by sex and put the male category in Category:Dipterans with holoptic eyes Kersti (talk) 18:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After looking a bit around I changed my mind a bit: the term holoptic refers not only to dipterans but is used in other insects as well. For example: search this[3][4][5] texts for "holoptic". There are holoptic eyes in Psychidae (some moth, both sexes), - I think holoptic eyes are quite common, and usually mentioned because they are helpful in some Dipteran and hymenoptera species to diferentiate between males and females. --Kersti (talk) 08:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bee photo

[edit]

Dear Alvesgaspar, I think this is not Megachile (the leg has an arolium, for example). Do you have other photos of it, maybe with the wing venation? Gidip (talk) 15:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The second one is indeed either Megachile or Lithurgus. The first one is something from the Apidae, maybe Amegilla or Anthophora. Where was it taken? en:User:JelleD is a bee expert, he can give you a more exact ID. Always mention the location, it is important for identification. Gidip (talk) 03:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you can help get the image up to wikipedia standards. You pointed out that the image is "quality of the photo is so poor", Can we fix the "dust spots in the sky"? -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 08:54, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, I have marked the two dust spots on the image, which can be removed easily with some graphic application. As for the general lack of quality (e.g. lack of sharpness and detail), I'm afraid it won't be possible to fix. The compact camera is to blame, not the photographer! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:06, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
