Questions and answers
I receive emails without any link.
How very mysterious! This seems to be mainly a problem with Gmail, but it has happened with other mail clients. Please email the list administrator with details about your email client and any other software that might interfere with your email such as spam-blocking software.
At any rate, you can view today's POTD here: Commons:Picture of the day/Today (but you'll have to click through to get the image page).
How are Pictures of the day chosen?
Since January 1 2007, Pictures of the day are chosen from images that have been recognised as Featured pictures . Anyone can make one of these images a Picture of the day. If you have an Featured picture that you want to make a Picture of the day, go to Commons:આજનું ચિત્ર and find the next day that does not yet have a Picture of the day set. (This might be a month or so in the future.) Only images that have not yet been a Picture of the day are eligible. Follow the red links and insert the image's name.
How does an image become a Featured picture?
Featured pictures are recognised as "the best of the best" and go through a two-week nomination process. Anyone can nominate an image to be a Featured picture at Commons:Featured picture candidates. However, only registered users can vote on these nominations. (To register, go to Special:Userlogin.) A nomination will result in a Featured picture if the ratio of support:oppose votes is 2:1, and there are at least five support votes.
Expected standards are high. New nominators are recommended to read through Guidelines for nominators and spend some time looking over the current nominations and comments, to get a feel for what will be accepted.
I want to provide descriptions/captions in my language.
Fantastic! Here's how:
- Register.
- Find the language code of your language on Special:Sitematrix (e.g. English is "en").
- Go to Picture of the day page. You'll get each Picture of the day for that month, with your language's caption aside the image. If it doesn't exist yet, it will be a red link. Just follow that link and write a short sentence describing the image.
If you have trouble, you can leave a comment on this talk page or the Help desk, and someone will try to help you.
If you're interested in translating other material for Commons, please see Commons:Help page maintenance.
All translations that exist the day before, will be sent out in the daily email.
I want to translate the mailman (mailing list) interface into my language.
That's great; to get involved with that project, check out http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/i18nhowto.
