YeW Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Guys/Gals - I have a request, I am trying to get photos of more cichlids (different species) onto Wikipedia Commons for use in Wikipedia. This part of a project I am undertaking to write wikipedia entries for the outstanding cichlid genera. Wikipedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page It's not terribly hard to do, though you need to register and set a license (I use Attribution ShareAlike2.5) for your images. If you add a category tag (add: [[Category:Cichlidae]] to your image description) That way it will get listed in the right place and used. If you are interested in seeing the current progress of the cichlid article on Wikipedia, click below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cichlid Thanks in advance, David.

hoges Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I tried to take some piccies last night but I might have had one too many beverages because I seem to have lots of blurry fish shots and a few random rocks Will try again ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I think I successfully added some tonight but I don't know where they are located. I put [[Category:Cichlidae]] after the image name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Here's a few places they are used on Wikipedia Ged: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otopharynx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciaenochromis Thanks for contributing. I realised where they went! You uploaded them (not that it matters) to Wikipedia - rather than Wikipedia Commons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Dave I think it would gain a better response if we just emailed you some pics. Or gave you access to some current webhosting that already has pics of cichlids on it. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
