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:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. 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.
  3. 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

Thank you![edit]

Thanks so much for nominating several videos made by my students for Media of the Day! Jgmikulay (talk) 17:10, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Actually I was placing the "Media of the Day" recognition template on some recent featured media. I noticed that a video from a basilica in Milwaukee - which inspired me to add the template; it also inspired me to nominate a different farming video from Wisconsin for May 2, 2014 (File:Forage harvester - forage wagon 640x480.ogv). Thank YOU for all of your work inspiring students to help with the Wikipedia / Wikimedia movement! Royalbroil 02:34, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Former church[edit]

Wanted to ask you, before adding the category. Do you think this is a former church? File:Burlington Wisconsin History Museum.jpg --Mjrmtg (talk) 10:55, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for asking! I researched it on the historical society's website and the former Holy Cross Lutheran Church was donated to the society in 1964 [1]. Royalbroil 02:58, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in the categorization of QI[edit]

Dear Royalbroil! Your images were reviewed and have been promoted to Quality Image status. Congratulations! I invite you to take part in the categorization of recently promoted quality images. All new images with this status are automatically placed to the page Commons:Quality_images/Recently_promoted. They have to be manually tagged with relevant categories using the QI categorization tool (see link at the top of the page, the author of this tool is User:Dschwen). Very few users do this job now, so a large number of uncategorizated photos accumulates on this page time to time… --Bff (talk) 09:49, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Time for sports[edit]

Hello Royalbroil,
sadly, I saw your comment that you are abstaining because you have an image in the vote only now. My comment will therefore probably only help for the future, but you are of course allowed to vote even if you participated in the challenge - the only thing you are not allowed to do is vote for your own pictures (if those participating wouldn't vote, we'd lose a big part of our voters).
Best wishes, --Anna reg (talk) 22:09, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Commons links[edit]

Hello! It is problem because it make my work longer and I will not happy. This mean for me copy next datas from next sites what in comparision hundret is tiring. Eurohunter (talk) 10:49, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Sometimes is see linked red category for person in photo or category for one photo. This is ok? I should inform about deleted? Eurohunter (talk) 10:52, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
I mean two situations. First was about category for only one file and second about red link. When red links are ok, why poeples dosn't make it always? Eurohunter (talk) 15:58, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't think that there is consensus about what to do with red links to categories. Royalbroil 02:04, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:MZKBydgoszcz[edit]

Hello! This category is double of Category:MZK Bydgoszcz‎ with wrong name. Integration is possiblle? Eurohunter (talk) 20:06, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Certainly they can and need to be. The first thing to figure out is which is the correct name? Then all of the files need to be put into this category (there is an admin tool that I could use if there are dozens of files to be moved). Then Template:Category redirect is added to the empty category. Royalbroil 01:59, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

(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 OTRS 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.

Tony Bennett jersey image[edit]

Hi Royalbroil, regarding this image of Tony Bennett's retired jersey, I wanted to check in and give my reason for editing. The aperture of the shot was far too narrow to be able to see the words clearly, and this also made the areas that should have been white into a medium gray. My edit, too, did not add white properly, but that has now been corrected. The green of the newer and current edit is actually darker than the official school colors show at the official webpage, so I hope that it satisfies your concern of not being dark enough. That being said, I am not opposed to the greens being darker as long as the white is kept white and not reverted to gray (i.e., as with the too-narrow aperture used in the original shot). The white words allow for greater legibility without clicking on the image. Ben Lunsford (talk) 18:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't like the change but I agree with gray changing to a truer white like you did. My concern is that the hue of the school color is way too blue. Web color 006633 is reasonable. Changing the hue to a specific color is beyond my photo editing capability. I have another image with a poorer focus that has a truer white color. I could upload it to my flickr account if you want to take a stab. Royalbroil 02:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Thank You![edit]

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Logo (text under).svg

Hi there! Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States. We're excited to see people uploading thousands of photos from all over the country! You and others have collectively uploaded 4,929 photos so far, all of which are viewable at Category:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States (sorted by state).

We encourage you to continue contributing through the rest of the month. Uploading your photos of monuments isn't the only way to contribute, however. If you're interested, we have compiled a list of auxiliary ways to contribute - which include improving Wikipedia's coverage of historic and cultural sites, as well as finding existing free photos that can be shared on the Commons. While these contributions don't count towards the contest, we are still keeping track of them and they are great ways to contribute to the spirit of the project.

If you are interesting in contributing to Wikipedia, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places is also great place to start. The WikiProject showcases the work that has been done so far in covering NRHP sites, and can also help you find articles that need improving.

If you're on Twitter, give us a follow Twitter Logo Mini.svg @WLMUnitedStates for updates, news, and more.

If you have any questions between now or the end of the month, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 09:28, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate Wikipedia articles!

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States! We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret having to narrow it down to just 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other various national contests as they are announced, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 winners.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all participants in the United States to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 06:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Photos of road cars[edit]

Hello, Royalbroil! How are you doing? I went to my local autodrome last weekend and took some photos of road cars. Sadly I couldn't find any Peugeot 408 or Mahindra Pickup. Good luck! --NaBUru38 (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Well done! I'm envious that you got to see some racing in December! Where I live, this is the time of the year when all racing stops during the transition between summer and winter. Bodies of water are turning to ice and it will take about 4-6 weeks for ice to be thick enough for (hopefully) 6-8 weeks of ice racing on frozen lakes and rivers. I ended up attending 58 racing events at 31 circuits during 2016. Royalbroil 04:09, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! My name is Kevin, one of the organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Last year, you contributed to our 2016 event. It was a great success thanks to you and many others, with over 1,700 people contributing over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States. Over 1,000 of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, making our open knowledge about United States history and heritage all the better.

I'm pleased to say that we're back this year with Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States, and I'd like to welcome you to participate once again in the event. Check out our updated event page for more information, including updated tips, lists, and prizes. Like last year, you'll be able to upload your new photos of any registered historical site in the United States through the end of September (even if the photos were taken before this month).

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you in this year's event! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on my talk page. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 08:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

September 30th is the last day to upload photos for Wiki Loves Monuments! We're thrilled that the United States has almost reached 4,000 contributions so far this year. Of these images, ~370 (~9%) have already been used to help illustrate Wikipedia articles and pages on other wiki projects, which is fantastic.

If you've already made a photo contribution this year, thanks so much! If you have any last-minute photos of U.S. historical sites to upload and enter into the contest, today's the day to do it. Check out the United States event page for more information. Judging will take place throughout the month of October, after which the top-ten national finalists will be announced in early November.

If you've traveled and taken photos of monuments in non-US countries, you can see if those countries are also participating here.

As always, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on on my talk page. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 05:49, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
