THREAD: So this morning I thought I'd take you through my @BioDivLibrary Flickr tagging, @Wikidata & @Wikicommons linking, and @BloodhoundTrack specimen attribution workflow. This is going to be a long but hopefully not to bumpy ride! 
The first thing I do is find a @BioDivLibrary album I like the look of. Today in honour of @Museocat I'm choosing a @SILibraries book album "A Manual of North American Butterflies" flickr.com/photos/biodivl…
Now if you want you can just concentrate on tagging those images in that album. See docs.google.com/document/d/1q2… for @BioDivLibrary instructions on "how to".
But I normally want a general look at the actual source of the images. I'm wanting to see if the book tells me who illustrated the images & to see how much information it provides. So I press the "show more" link, & then the @BioDivLibrary link to take me to the work.
This takes me to the title page of the book. It appears from the title page that the images were by the author - Charles Johnson Maynard. This is confirmed as his initials are on each plate.
Each coloured plate has its own accompanying page with species names. This is going to be an easy album to tag! But before I start that, let's check the images are in @WikiCommons.
The easiest way to do this is search on the title of the book. I will then click on one of the images, and will then scroll down to the bottom to click on the album category. This will show me all the @BioDivLibrary album images in @wikicommons.
Next, having confirmed the @BioDivLibrary flickr album has been imported into @Wikicommons I'll check to see whether the album is linked to any @Wikidata item. I do this by looking at the left hand side column. Nope, the category isn't linked to a Wikidata item. So lets fix that.
I'll go to @Wikidata and search for the title of the book. Remember ours is the Smithsonian Libraries edition. That's where all these images are sourced from so that's the wikidata item I want. wikidata.org/wiki/Q51501679
I'll then go to the "other sites" part of the Wikidata item and add the category and publish. I'll also add a statement "Commons Category" to the item with the name of the category "A manual of North American butterflies" and again publish that statement. Then refresh the item.
After a few moments you'll see now see a statement of "Wikidata item" has now been added to the left hand column of "what links here" in the @wikicommons category.
I'll then edit the @Wikicommons category page and add the markup {{Wikidata infobox}} to the top of the page. This edit will generate an infobox for the category giving all the information on the publication in Wikidata.
Now the Category in @Wikicommons is interlinked to the Wikidata item for the book those images were sourced from. I then go back to the @Wikidata item for the publication & add a statement about the illustrator. In this case it is easy as Charles J. Maynard already has an item.
I'll then move on to the Wikidata item for Charles Johnson Maynard. wikidata.org/wiki/Q2959465 I'm checking to see if his full birth and death dates are in Wikidata. They aren't, so I'll double check his Wikipedia page for them and add them.
The reason this is important is that with the exact birth and death dates and the @BioDivLibrary creator id, his information will be ingested into the website @BloodhoundTrack. All specimens collected or identified by him can then be attributed to him. bloodhound-tracker.net/help-others/Q2…
So now everything is interlinked I can either taxotag and illustrator tag the @BioDivLibrary flickr album, I can edit the descriptions & add categories to the images in @Wikicommons or I can attribute specimens to Maynard in @BloodhoundTrack! #SoMuchToDo
Just completed the taxo & illustrator tagging of the album. I've tried also to find the current species names but sometimes I wasn't able to track them down. Now on to @BloodhoundTrack flickr.com/photos/biodivl…
Done as much attribution in @BloodhoundTrack as I can for Charles Johnson Maynard bloodhound-tracker.net/Q2959465. Turns out he collected with Theodore Roosevelt! 21 publications used Maynard's
specimen data from @GBIF.

Spent the rest of the afternoon editing descriptions of the coloured plates in @Wikicommons as well as adding creator markup and categories. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:… #JobDone
