File source is not properly indicated: File:Boy with duplo blocks.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Boy with duplo blocks.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Boy with duplo blocks.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Macuser,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 were 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.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.

Thanks,

File:Кивиниемский шанец.jpg

Вроде, эти картинки нельзя использовать для иллюстрирования объекта культурного наследия: здесь показано его местоположение, но никак не его внешний вид. А если стоит шаблон, то в соответствующем списке надо вставлять иллюстрацию (не то чтобы это обязательно, но в идеале хотелось бы заполнить все вакансии, где нет иллюстрации, но есть файлы в соответствующей галерее), и этой картинкой брешь затыкать не хочется, потому что тогда этот редут никто никогда не сфотографирует. Поэтому шаблон было бы лучше снять, а взамен можно сделать редуту собственную категорию и положить эти изображения туда, вписав категорию во все тот же список. Нет? -- Ludvig14 (talk) 18:38, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

• Странная какая-то логика. Если в списке будет карта, да еще с такой звездой, как на карте 1891 года, то им заинтересуются куда скорее, чем тем, что там есть сейчас (Редут, сооруженный в XVIII в.). Я уж не говорю, что по шаблону создалась категория Category:WLM/4710149000 и ее видно с того же wikivoyage, но никто не спешит с нее вставлять фоты в список. А без шаблонов категория исчезнет и будет как у кирхи в Мельниково - значки есть, а фоток отображается 0. Macuser (talk) 12:58, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Ну да, не спешит, потому что такая "фотография" большого смысла не имеет, лучше уж подождать нормальной фотографии редута. Спорить не буду, но я бы предпочла снять шаблон наследия с этой пары изображений. Жаль, что не сумела уговорить.

Что касается церкви в Мельниково - можно добавить к фотографиям из ее категории шаблон c нужным номером и фотографии в галерее появятся. Но большого резона тратить на это время нет, есть задачки и поважнее. -- Ludvig14 (talk) 15:08, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

есть задачки и поважнее - вот я тоже так думаю. Macuser (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Igijos sten

Dear Macuser, Igijos sten is not located in Copenhagen in the National Museum of Denmark, it is located in Jægerspris. Your category is therefore not appropriate. Will you please find a suitable category? Yours sincerely, Orphée (talk) 11:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Runestenen ble funnet på gården Stenstad i Helgja, Nome kommune i Nedre Telemark sommeren 1781. Steinen ... ble merkelig nok funnet oppe i haugen et stykke over gravkammeret. Gravgodset og runestenen ble i løpet av vinteren 1782 sendt til kongen København, og mesteparten av gravgodset befinner seg derfor i dag i det danske Nationalmuseet. I am quite aware that it is now on top of sudo-roman-restored passage grave, but I belive it is still technically belongs or belonged to National museum, which is enough to be categorized there. In any way, it is not a "Danish" runeinscription, and it should definetely be categorized as Norwegian one, but also the position should be categorized as in Danmark, in a right county, region and municipality. Macuser (talk) 19:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your explanation. I know very well where the stone was found and where it is situated now. When the stone arrived in Denmark, there wasn't any Nationalmuseet, so I still believe that it should not be categorized as in the National Museum of Denmark. Furthermore I have now noticed that you have removed Julianehøj from the category Mindelunden ved Jægerspris Slot. May I ask you why? Yours sincerely, Orphée (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
    •  I do not object removing N KJ81 from NM, I object keeping it within Danish runestones. I guess the recent language clean-up made the meaning more grammatically correct, but a bit obscure: SteinsplitterBot moved page Category:Runestones of Denmark to Category:Runestones in Denmark. Macuser (talk) 21:56, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
    • Julianehøj is marked on the map, I believe any modern map, google street view offers a clear sight of the monument. Mindelunden is not same clear mark on all maps, but the street view [1] and OpenStreetMap point me in totally different place than Julianehøj. So I put Julianehøj 1 level up from Mindelunden, which is consistent with the categorization of other images of Julianehøj that already were there. Macuser (talk) 21:56, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
