[Commons-l] This delights me

[Maria Fanucchi]

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:

I agree with you; the system works. ^^
