Image:POTD[edit]

Idén med den omdirigeringen var att visa att det är möjligt att ha en omdirigering som leder till Dagens bild. På så sätt ska det vara möjligt att inkludera Dagens bild från Commons på andra projekt. För att det ska fungera måste omdirigeringen leda till en bild. Helst skulle någon robot uppdatera omdirigeringen dagligen, men som exempel fungerar länken även om den visar en gammal dagens bild. /Ö 20:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hallsberg rail station.
If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Valued images candidates.

review

Info Hallsberg is a small Swedish town, mostly famous for being a hub for the railway.
Comment The picture does not show the town, only the rail station. The scope should be modified accordingly, I think. Regarding the picture itself, it is tilted, you should correct it. --Eusebius (talk) 16:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

* Oppose Scope is too broad for the subject of the image. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Scope changed from Hallsberg to Hallsberg rail station {{{3}}}

Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".

Support OK for me now. --Eusebius (talk) 18:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support OK for me now. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 19:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support I was at first concerned that the narrowed scope was too narrow, but as I understand this town is mostly known for being the town where you change trains, it seems OK. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Result: 3 support

Hello, Ainali!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Re:Double Categories[edit]

Hey, thanks for helping me out with my mistake! I have one question for you: when I look in the categories at Wikimedia where I have put the different photos I have uploaded, I do not find them there? Why? EriFr (talk) 22:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They are now in subcategories, for example, File:Karlstad Cathedral.JPG is in Category:Karlstads domkyrka. If you want to see all your uploaded pictures and what categories they are in you can look here. --Ainali (talk) 06:02, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:HoforsStationSE.JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Polish of background[edit]

Hello, I saw that you did a nice polish on this photo on Caster Semeya (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20090819_Caster_Semenya_polished.JPG). Do you think it is possible to do the same with the picture of Anna Bergendahl (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anna_Bergendahl3_%28cropped%29.jpg). It's not so good that it is advertising for Media Markt, in the background, but perhaps all the hair makes it complicated. Athyllis (talk) 19:19, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kategoriseringar[edit]

Hej! Jag upptäckte att du har börjat med att kategorisera bilderserier efter årtal som "Category:2009 in Stigbergsgatan". Det är mycket opraktiskt eftersom det blir omståndligt att plocka in fler bilder från senare tid där. Eller vill du ha en kategori på Sigbergsgatan för varje år? Jag tycker att "Stigbergsgatan" (som exempel) räcker som kategori, då får man allt sammlat på samma sida. Hälsningar --Holger.Ellgaard (talk) 08:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Stigbergsgatan kanske var lite väl nedbrutet, annars verkar det vara praxis att göra så på städer. Jag tror att det gjorde så för att det ändå var rätt många bilder där. Ändra gärna tillbaks om du tycker att det var otympligt. --Ainali (talk) 11:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Städer är ju ok, men gator blir för nedbrutet och frågan är även "vad är rätt många bilder", när ska årtal vara en egen kategori? Med 3, 5 eller 10 bilder? Jag vet inte. För att få en överblick över ett motiv måste man ju leta på flera ställen, det tycker jag är en klar nackdel. Hälsningar --Holger.Ellgaard (talk) 08:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Jan,

I wanted to let you know that I drafted a project page about the pictures of the Vänsterpartiet that were donated to Wikimedia Sverige : Commons:Vänsterpartiet.

I was merely based on a machine translation of Wikimedia Sverige blogpost, so I am totally not sure I got everything right. It would be great if you could review it to add the relevant missing information and correct mistakes.

Congratulations for this project! Us folks at Wikimédia France closely follow what other chapters are up to, and we (at least I :-) get all fired up when hearing about such a story!

En lösning kanske är att dela upp på två eller flera sidor? ~/gallery ser ut att vara automatgenerat av något (Commonist?) så det enklaste kanske är att lyfta ut en del till exvis gallery2009, gallery2010 osv?

Mallar för Teknikpoolen och Gemenskapens projekt[edit]

De två mallarna för Wikimedia Sveriges egna projekt tycker jag inte är riktigt samma sak som partnerskap med Wikimedia-oberoende institutioner som museer, bibiotek och arkiv. De är mer jämförbara med mallar som Template:Supported by Wikimedia Polska som har mer rimlig bildstorlek. Även om projkten ska räknas som partnerskap så är det bara Wikimedia France som också har sin logga i partnerskapsmallarna och då i mindre storlek än vad Wikimedia Sveriges logga är nu.

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

Project on Swedish Wikipedia[edit]

Hi Jan, I have a bit more to say stemming from this discussion, but beyond the scope of the files being discussed there. (I'm not certain, but guessing that you have a formal or informal advisory role in the Swedish project, so I'm hoping this is helpful; if I'm mistaken, please feel free to disregard.)

You mentioned that [[Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Martinstrandberg |the files previously deleted]] were uploaded by a professional, and part of a project on Swedish Wikipedia. This is worthwhile information; but on reviewing the circumstances, I am wondering how anybody curating content on Commons (or any reader wanting to reuse the photos) would know this? The user account in question is a redlink (no content) both here and on Swedish Wikipedia; his global contributions show no activity prior to December 2014; and the file pages in question (at least, if the remaining one is representative) carried no tag, in Swedish or any language, describing the project.

I'd suggest, with a project like this, that special attention be given to setting up the user account, and templates for the files. This would make it easier for others to help a user get all the details right, and at least in many cases, avoid the need for deletion requests or other hassles. -Pete F (talk) 01:25, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was only an informal advisory in the beginning of the project, but thought it to be trivial and did not notice it again before images were deleted on Swedish Wikipedia. You are absolutely right that the information supplied by the uploader on Commons were sparse, to say the least. I guess that the only way to have figured it out was to see that the files already were in use on Wikipedia. Should not such a check be common practise if the deletion request is based upon scope? Ainali (talk) 08:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not an admin (and it might be good to confirm with one), but my understanding from the various deletion reviews I've worked on is this:

Use on another wiki is generally considered to automatically establish that an image or media file is in scope
Use on another wiki is not considered in establishing more fundamental questions, i.e. whether a file meets Commons' standards (and the standards established by the WMF Board) for protecting the rights of copyright holders, or the personality rights of those depicted.

That's my understanding of the general practice. It seems to me that is the way it should be handled for a central repository, because it's important that people wishing to reuse the files have access to that information.

That approach is endorsed by the COM:IDENT guideline, which requires that the uploader make an assertion on Commons that appropriate permission has been given. If that information isn't]] given on the file's page, how could a potential reuser -- who might not have any familiarity with how wikis work -- be expected to find it?

I do think theses processes can and should be more clearly documented, and it's something I plan to put more work into. Glad for this reminder of how important it is to do that. -Pete F (talk) 18:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with you. The strange thing is, the deletion request was SCOPE, not COM:IDENT. And that was the thing that was new to me. Ainali (talk) 21:27, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Both "private image" (which relates to COM:IDENT) and "scope" were mentioned in the nomination, but "private image" is the part that was mentioned by closing administrator Ellin Beltz. Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Martinstrandberg So I think COM:IDENT was the actual justification even though COM:SCOPE had been mentioned. -Pete F (talk) 03:35, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

(And in my opinion, it's not worth worrying too much about an inaccurate nomination so long as the closure is appropriate. Lots of people miss things when making the initial nom, that's why there is a closer to double-check.) -Pete F (talk) 03:37, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure, it was a fuzzy nomination. "Private images, not realistically useful for an educational purpose, out of project scope." Is it three reasons or one? Since 2 and 3 obviously relate, i read the commas as "therefor" and hence interpreted it as one single reason. Ainali (talk) 06:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, good point. And makes me realize, probably worth pinging Ies. With that, though, maybe we have beaten this dead horse enough for now :) -Pete F (talk) 07:10, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Greetings: As a deletion editor (mentioned above) perhaps I can muddy the clarity here a little more... The images that I closed were family snaps of horrid quality, overexposed, bad colors and fuzzy. This was somehow used to justify Images from the archive of UNESCO deletion nomination of high quality images of people unrelated to the photographer. I don't see a single connection between the two. It is common in DN's to say "out of COM:SCOPE/ lack of educational utility." That is the particular Sub-section of SCOPE being cited. I don't see a problem with reversing it either, "no educational utility, out of Scope" means exactly the same thing. There was nothing fuzzy about the nomination: the images themselves were fuzzy. They were blurry overexposed useless private family snaps, unused and thus out of COM:SCOPE for lack of educational utility. I really don't understand the tempest in this teapot at all, can anyone enlighten me? Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The images were not family snaps, they were taken by a professional photographer in staged situations. It was clear for all involved from the beginning that they were to be used to illustrate life in Helsingborg municipality. The images were not unused at the time of deletion. If they were deleted because of bad quality that would have been a useful comment in the closing of the deletion request. Ainali (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If indeed the photos were are useful to Swedish Wikipedia, and if the appropriate permission was granted, it seems like an undeletion request would be the way to go -- no? -Pete F (talk) 17:36, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
To perform file name swaps.
When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Förra årets vinnarbild i Wiki Loves Earth!

Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till den svenska deltävlingen av Wiki Loves Earth. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker i tävlingen – men i år har vi också lagt till biosfärområden och naturminnen! Tävlingen börjar 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. På grund av Covid-19 kan inga gemensamma evenemang anordnas i år, så passa på att fotografera naturen i ditt närområde – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?

Uploading video to Commons[edit]

Hi Ainali. I've been experimenting with getting video onto Commons, and saw the Physical distancing sign you uploaded to the CheckIn page yesterday. Can I ask how you did this? For instance, did you convert the original video to WebM yourself? I've been experimenting with workflows at Help:Converting_video but they are very technical and can be very slow also. (I uploaded a file to CheckIn too, in the UTC +12:00 section; Electronic sign Oriental Parade). Many thanks! Quilt Phase (talk) 22:21, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I used the tool video2commons to upload that file. The beauty of that is that the conversion and upload is being made on the wmflabs server, so I don't have to sit around waiting or have my computer on, so the speed does not matter. Ainali (talk) 11:44, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2022.

Hög tid att ladda upp: Wiki Loves Earth 2022![edit]

Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2022 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Earth eller Wiki Loves Monuments. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker, biosfärområden och naturminnen i tävlingen! Tävlingen började 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. Även om fortsatt försiktighet är att rekommendera går det bra att ge sig ut på fotosafari och fotografera naturen i ditt närområde – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?

Välkommen till tävlingen, och lycka till! /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sonfjället 2022 Hede.jpg[edit]

Jag vill inte vara petig, men... Den bild som du tydligen tog 2021, ska den heta "Sonfjället 2022 Hede.jpg"? Eller har du möjligtvis knappat fel på tangenterna? :-) // Zquid (talk) 11:03, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:

Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)

You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.

You're invited to provide input…[edit]

Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 i Norge[edit]

Hi there! I see that you have participated in the Norwegian part of Wiki Loves Monuments in previous years. Thank you very much! I'd like to inform you that the 2022 edition of the contest has just started, and I want to encourage you to participate this year as well!

Photos are not required to have been taken this year – they can be from any time, as long as they are uploaded during October 2022. Maybe you have some more pictures from previous years that can be uploaded for this year's contest?

You can read more about it on the contest page. Thanks, and good luck! Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Online workshop this weekend[edit]

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

Question from the CPUG Board[edit]

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear Ainali,

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2022, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again for a few minutes of your time. Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 150K+ pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 35 countries around the world.

You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey.

Please fill in this short survey and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2022.

Kind regards, Wiki Loves Monuments team, 09:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open![edit]

Read this message in your language

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

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. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Äntligen maj: Wiki Loves Earth 2023![edit]

Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2023 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Earth eller Wiki Loves Monuments. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker, biosfärområden och naturminnen i tävlingen! Nytt för i år är att vi utöver bästa foto även belönar fotograferande av tidigare ofotograferade objekt samt bästa bildserie om minst tio fotografier av samma objekt. Tävlingen börjar 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. Expeditioner, fotosafari eller en helt vanlig promenad? Via en smidig karta som visar ditt närområde hittar du bra ställen att besöka – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys[edit]

Hi! You have recently tried/used Wikimedia Commons features in OpenRefine (uploading files, or editing existing files). I'm curious to hear how this has gone, also if you only briefly tried these features.

To help the OpenRefine team with future improvements, it would be immensely helpful if you would be willing to spend a bit of time filling in two surveys. (Yes, two! Each of them uses a different method and (open source) platform). Both will run until approximately end October 2023.

A first, classical, survey (fully anonymous) where you can tell us how you use the Commons features in OpenRefine, and how you (want to) learn to use them better;
A second, more experimental survey (also fully anonymous) in which you prioritize the features that matter most to you. This second survey is a bit strange in that you can 'just keep clicking'. Feel free to use it as long or as briefly as you want; you can stop any time. Please also add your own suggestions!

Many thanks! With kind regards, SFauconnier (talk) 11:13, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you[edit]

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
