Hi all,
I totally agree with goosey. More importantly, even if you don't know (exactly) what it is at upload
please do go back and update title and keywords once you've gotten an ID for it. I think
using the info you've obtained is also a nice way of showing that you appreciate the help from the experts and the time they put in.
Myself, I try to put in higher taxon names as much as possible too so that even within say "Insects and Invertebrates" searches for scientific family names or orders will give the subset you expect (at some point).
As the gallery guidelines (or was it on WAB?) suggest putting the sex/gender in brackets I've started putting order and family (or other better suited taxa, depending on the group) in the title in square brackets. I'm not suggesting everyone should do this and I'm more than willing to go back and change it again, but as a general principle it may be a suggestion we could talk about ... here .. ?
So I've now named images something like:
- Common Striped Woodlouse juvenile - Philoscia muscorum [Isopoda: Oniscidea]
- Ant Woodlouse (female) - Platyarthrus hoffmanseggii [Isopoda: Oniscidea]
- Ladybirds - Halyzia sedecimguttata and Calvia decemguttata [Coccinellidae]
Problem with the last one (two sci. names in it) is that it's getting too long to also include the order name.
Any other thoughts on "good working practices"??
