How to find & upload taxon images from public websites[edit]
Abstract/description[edit]
Australian fauna and flora are unique. Many of the taxa pages relating to animals & plants found only in Australia have no images. Public websites like iNaturalist, Flickr, GBIF and many other websites can be a source of appropriately licensed images for taxon articles. It is always worthwhile to search such sites for images which can be uploaded to the commons and used. This presentation shows the steps necessary for this (when the sites are not Flickr or iNaturalist), together with final steps to make such images findable by all other wikis. That is, the final steps - making categories and adding the images to wikidata.
Relationship to Wiki skills or to the theme[edit]
