I found this lovely short video of a dung beetle cleverly dancing on a ball of dung and added it to the Dungbeetle article on Swedish Wikipedia, hopefully you'll find my diff here.

Thanks for a great challenge,

I added an image of acromegaly hands to the Pituitary Gland page (diff) and an image of a brain scan to the Hashimoto's encephalopathy page (diff).

Wow, I'm surprised that image wasn't there before. Nice contribution.

Ok I admit, its a rather odd image but I placed this image on the en.wikipedia page for Congenital melanocytic nevus. I also added another category to that image on Commons:OAFD/N.

Now here is my question: when I added the new category to the image, it showed up in red. What does this mean?

File:Congenital melanocytic nevus 01.jpg

A category being listed in red means that it does not exist yet. Typically, categories like Congenital melanocytic nevus are only started if there are at least about ten items that can be put in there, or if the parent category - in this case Nevus - is too crowded. Neither of these two conditions are met here.

Also, if the category "Congenital melanocytic nevus" existed, it would itself be categorized under (and thus listed in) the category "Nevus", so the latter would have to be removed from the file after adding the former.

Nice, do you know which image you replaced? Was it also from OA?

Dave Menninger said:

Nope, the old one was listed as public domain due to copyright expiry. Not sure original source.

Max said:

Also you added this on the english wikipedia no?

Daniel Mietchen said:

Yep, but I thought listing one example would be enough here.

There was a very nice image from a psychology article of how the world feels with schizophrenia, but the main schizophrenia article was locked (I posted a note on the talk page). In stead I posted the image at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanisms_of_schizophrenia.
