I recently got a similar minor thrill out of seeing that one of my Flickr photos was transferred to Commons. I usually transfer them only after having the species pictured identified, but apparently someone was looking for CC-licensed pictures of wasps on Flickr and uploaded mine to Commons despite it lacking the exact species name:<br>

I agree with you; the system works. ^^<br>--Maria<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/16/08, <b class="gmail_sendername">Andrew Gray</b> <<a href="mailto:shimgray@gmail.com">shimgray@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
A few weeks ago, visiting a friend in London, I did the usual quick<br> round of museums; when at the Imperial War Museum, I took a pile of<br> photographs of various exhibits. I put them on flickr, and made a<br> mental note to put them on Commons at some point. Of course, what with<br>
one thing and another, I never got round to it.<br> <br> Since then, someone's transferred several over to be used as<br> illustrations for a handful of enwp articles, used one as the basis<br> for writing another article entirely, and left me a very nice note to<br>
explain this...<br> <br> I can't help but shake the feeling that our system *works* :-)<br> <br><br> --<br> - Andrew Gray<br> <a href="mailto:andrew.gray@dunelm.org.uk">andrew.gray@dunelm.org.uk</a><br> <br> _______________________________________________<br>
