Picture of the day Cattle tyrant and capybara The cattle tyrant (Machetornis rixosa) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatcher. It has a disjunct distribution, consisting of one race in a region from northern Argentina and Bolivia to the north-eastern tip of Brazil, and the two other subspecies ranging from Panama to Venezuela and eastern Ecuador. It inhabits drier open and semi-open habitats, and avoided forested and wooded areas. It can be found in savannah, pastureland, parkland, agricultural land and even gardens. The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the largest living species of rodent, classified within the genus Hydrochoerus, the only other extant member of which is the lesser capybara (H. isthmius). Its close relatives include guinea pigs and rock cavies, and it is more distantly related to the agouti, the chinchilla, and the nutria. The capybara is a highly social species and inhabits savannas and dense forests, living near bodies of water. It is hunted for its meat and hide and also for grease from its thick fatty skin. This photograph, taken in the Pantanal, a wetland region in western Brazil, shows a cattle tyrant perching on the head of a capybara.Photograph credit: Charles J.

Misplaced Pages Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Misplaced Pages. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Misplaced Pages Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Misplaced Pages. When you see a photo or map in Misplaced Pages, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Misplaced Pages.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Misplaced Pages by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done.

For more information, please see Misplaced Pages:Meetup/Seattle#Misplaced Pages Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.
