Could you please add the information. This image of yours is on the Lycaenidae stub template. Otherwise we would have to switch over from your image to another. AshLin (talk) 18:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't even remember dealing with it. I havent looked at the file or its date of upload, but note that anytime a file has a parameter in it like "250px," it indicates a change from another file, ostensibly [index.php?title=File:Common_blue_butterfly_underside_800.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 File:Common blue butterfly underside 800.jpg]. Hence it would have all the same meta information. I can infer that I resized the image from a larger image, and IIRC this must have been because mediawiki at the time didn't handle image resizing, let alone thumbnails and such. In fact it wasnt even called mediawiki back then. IIRC.

Anyway, a quick search for "file:common blue butterfly" doesnt get anything here except above. Searching Commons is the next step, and the WP search provides for that. A Commons search finds no direct file name match, but the field does show a larger version of the above image, named File:Polyommatus icarus.jpg, taken in mid 2004, in the time period stated. Deleting the above and replacing it with the commons file is the next thing to do, but adding a little note indicating the history of the files would be good documentary practice for files. -Stevertigo 18:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I have done that. AshLin (talk) 03:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
