Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
[edit]Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

I've created a new version of the upper named train-image:
- "retouching of considerably remaining background-corners: each filling up with nearby located snippets;"
What do you think, have I done too much or is this version more suitable for the Articles?
Feel free to restore the further version or try a only cropped one yourself.

Thank you for your improving that file. The odd white line was in fact a white sheet used to give shadow to part of the square. My wife managed to take the picture in such way that it looked as a line. The church is not archbisbal but archpriestal (I think that's how it's spelled). An archpriest cares of a group of parrishes while an archbishop can rule several dioceses. B25es (talk) 06:00, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Rotations
[edit]With Original scans, if you're doing a rotation at all, it should only be a multiple of 90° - anything else loses information from the original scan. My original scans all should have rotated, prepared, and cropped versions already, but there was a feeling a while ago that original scans should be exactly what you got out of the scanner.
Of course, now that larger TIFFs and PNGs actually display, a lot of things that were simple archival things show. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- OK, then I'll upload only lossless rotated versions:
- File:W.E.F. Britten - Alfred, Lord Tennyson - Lady of Shalott - original scan.png — done.
- File:W.E.F. Britten - Alfred, Lord Tennyson - St. Simeon Stylites - original scan.png — done.
- File:W.E.F. Britten - The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson - Oenone - ORIGINAL SCAN.png — done.
- File:W.E.F. Britten - The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson - Sir Galahad - ORIGINAL SCAN.png — done.

- Thanks a lot for that, and sorry to be a pain. As for whether marking as PD-US-1923 is necessary... As of 2014, technically, yes, as a creator who died over 90 years ago could have works after 1922 as of this year, although, as I did very carefully give the death year of Britten, it shouldn't be a major problem. {{PD-old-auto-1923|1916}} would be better, though.

[edit]Dear Editing Commons: Help desk (new section), I am a 63-year-old retired Special Education teacher for Milwaukee Public Schools. I am in the process of completing a book project entitled, “Looking into Our Grandparents Immigrant Eyes.” I’ve gathered 240 family photographs of 1st & 2nd generation European Immigrant families who arrived in southeastern Wisconsin beginning in the late 1830’s. The transportation route used by the great majority of these families to our territory/state, during those early years, was the Erie Canal & Great Lakes steamer routes. I would like to provide some illustration of the Erie Canal route many of these immigrant families took to come here to Milwaukee. I have read the “terms & conditions” of your website use. I would then request your legal permission or ask that you direct me to the copyright owner of the map you provide on your website identified as: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Erie-canal_1840_map.jpg. This will be my 3rd book related to local history & have never been motivated by personal profit with any one of them. I have probably invested more in production than what I earned in profit for either of my 2 previous projects. I simply have a love for local history & love to share it with others!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this “long winded” account. Have a great day!!!

Und bei File:Regenwolken-ueber-dem-Freistaetter-Moor suedliches-Wietingsmoor p1180521.jpg bitte auch gucken, ob die Koordinaten stimmen. (an der B214 östl. Freistatt?) Gruß Holger1959 (talk) 00:00, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Earth 2017 - Danke, und wie geht es weiter?
[edit]Hallo Jaybear,
vielen Dank für Deine Teilnahme am Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland. Damit hast Du ein Stück Natur in Deiner Region dokumentiert und Wikipedia geholfen, andere darüber zu informieren.
Dieses Jahr wurden 24.000 Fotos eingereicht, im vorigen Jahr waren es noch 18.000. Bei der Teilnehmerzahl (1063) wurde der Rekord vom Vorjahr nur knapp verpasst.
Um die große Zahl von Bildern angemessen zu bewältigen, suchen wir weitere Helfer für die Vorjury, zum Kategorisieren oder zum Einfügen der Bilder in die Artikel und Listen der Wikipedia.
Eine Jury wird Anfang Juli auf einer Sitzung in Fulda die besten Bilder auswählen. Nach dem Zeitplan sollen die Top100 am 15. Juli 2017 veröffentlicht werden. Kurz danach werden die Gewinner benachrichtigt.
Wir möchten auf Wiki Loves Earth Biosphere Reserves hinweisen. Bei diesem Wettbewerb können bis Ende Juni Bilder von Biosphärenreservaten aus aller Welt eingereicht werden. Selbstverständlich darf man das ganze Jahr über Bilder zu beliebigen Themen bei Wikimedia Commons hochladen, nicht nur wenn ein Wettbewerb läuft...
Freundliche Grüße.

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2017 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in Ukraine
[edit]Вітаємо!
Запрошуємо взяти участь у міжнародному фотоконкурсі «Вікі любить пам'ятки»! До 30 вересня включно Ви можете подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Звертаємо увагу, що завантажені матеріали будуть враховуватися у тій версії файлу, що був на час завершення конкурсу, тож якщо у Вас гарне фото, вантажте його одразу у високій роздільності. З регламентом конкурсу можна ознайомитися тут.
Якщо у Вас дуже багато фото, скористайтеся масовими завантажувачами або зверніться до нас.
Окрім традиційних номінацій за найкращі фото і найбільшу кількість сфотографованих об'єктів, у конкурсі також є спецномінація для Ваших відеоматеріалів про пам'ятки. Якщо у Вас розмір відеофайлу завеликий для конкурсного завантажувача, спробуйте скористатися стандартним завантажувачем, але не забудьте поставити ідентифікатор пам'ятки. Якщо виникатимуть будь-які труднощі — пишіть нам на wlmwikimediaukraine.org.ua
Приєднуйтеся! Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться у блозі конкурсу. – З повагою, Оргкомітет «Вікі любить пам'ятки». 21:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Jaybear, ich nehme an, die ursprünglichen Eintragungen von Dir bei obigem Foto waren als verspäteter Aprilscherz gedacht. Das habe ich jetzt bereinigt, denn Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons ist nun mal keine Scherzbude (auch, wenn es einem nicht selten ganz stark so vorkommt...) Röhrende Grüße --J.-H.

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2021 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Ukraine
[edit]Привіт!
З 1 по 30 вересня вже традиційно пройде українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»! В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже вдесяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.
Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.
Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.
Цього року вперше будуть окремо виділені фото з повітря (дронами, квадрокоптерами тощо) — у спеціальній номінації «Аерофото». Для того, щоб робота потрапила на спецномінацію потрібно вибрати її у Завантажувачі.
Також вперше проводиться спеціальна номінація «Пам'ятки Подесення», знову пройдуть спецномінації «Відео», «Єврейська спадщина», «Млини», «Пам'ятки національно-визвольної боротьби» та «Via Regia Ukraine». Для участі світлин у цих спецномінаціях не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — світлини зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.
Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.
Приєднуйтеся!
Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.
Важливо! Цього року відбулася адміністративно-територіальна реформа. Однак, ми проводимо конкурс ще за попереднім адміністративно-територіальним устроєм. Ми почали роботу над створенням списків з новим поділом, але вона ще не є завершена. Ви можете користуватися тими новими списками, що вже є, якщо потрібно відшукати пам'ятку за новим поділом (деякі ОДА вже почали присилати у такому форматі), але пам'ятайте, що нові списки ще не є повними.

[edit]Привіт!
Нагадуємо, що до 30 вересня включно можна вантажити світлини та відео культурної спадщини України до національного етапу міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»!
Зараз Україна посідає 3-є місце за кількістю завантажених світлин, поступаючись Російській Федерації та Німеччині. За першу половину місяця було завантажено світлини пам'яток із усіх регіонів України, але частина із них є дуже погано представлена. Севастополь зараз представлений тільки однією пам'яткою і одним фото, Крим — 12 пам'яток і 51 фото. Детальніше — у таблиці:
Регіон | К-ть пам'яток | К-ть фото |

Полтавщина | 171 | 594 |
Харківщина | 175 | 625 |
Київщина | 181 | 651 |
Черкащина | 186 | 455 |
Прикарпаття | 240 | 305 |
Вінничина | 242 | 775 |
Запоріжжя | 253 | 317 |
Чернігівщина | 305 | 519 |
Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.
Цього року у конкурсі є вісім спеціальних номінацій:
- «Аерофото» — для фото з повітря (зроблені дронами, квадрокоптерами тощо). Для того, щоб робота потрапила на спецномінацію потрібно вибрати її у Завантажувачі;
- «Відео» — для відеосюжетів з пам'ятками;
- «Єврейська спадщина» — для об'єктів із охоронним статусом, і без нього;
