2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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 most popular image in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 7 February 2014. Click here to learn more and vote »

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

PD-old-auto-expired

This template does not generate a "90 years pma" message. "Updating" to this tag from PD-old-90-1923 will lose information because it does not provide the desired information. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Yeah, I was a bit worried about that... but a 2015 decision voted to deprecate and eventually remove the template for being redundant with {{PD-old-80}}, since there are no countries with a 90 years pma copyright length. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:02, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Currently, the template link redirects to {{PD-old-90-expired}}, which does not mention that discussion, nor does it seem to have been removed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Interesting. It might be worth asking on the help desk whether the {{PD-old-90}} deprecation extends to things like {{PD-old-90-expired}}. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for following up on this. --18:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for going through Category:PD Austria 1932‎ and fixing the licenses there. This is very much appreciated! Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 12:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

@Srittau: You're very much welcome! This is definitely quite a trip; I'm nearing the point where I'll be able to take major batches of deletions soon. Say, how'd you come across my edits anyway? And have the licenses I've replaced them with been acceptable? -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 18:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I have Category:PD Austria 1932 on my watchlist to assure that no one adds files to it. I haven't really looked in depth into the licenses you have applied, but the few I checked looked ok to me. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 18:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
