File:Alcatraz Island Lighthouse.jpg

At 19:21Z yesterday, January 5, 2013 you posted a notice on my Commons talk page that the file "Alcatraz Island Lighthouse.jpg" had been deleted although no advance notice whatsoever that there was a problem with its permissions or copyright status had ever been posted anywhere. It was not until 19:27Z that you belatedly posted such an "after the fact" notice on my talk page some six minutes after the notice that the deletion was already a fait accompli. As the file and its host page are no longer visible, I have no idea what the alleged issue is with the image file so I have no way to address it.

I originally uploaded this file (International Digital Document ID xmp.did:0180117407206811B1A4C72DECC8C330) to the en:Wikipedia in mid 2009. It is a digitally enhanced illustration which I created on January 26, 2004 from an original digital photograph that I took on December 31, 2003. I am the sole creator and copyright holder of both the original digital photograph and of all elements I used to create the final digital illustration which I then released and licensed to the Public Domain. The file was apparently later transferred to Commons by another user.

If the issue is "permissions" I provided that when I freely licensed it to the Public Domain in 2009 when I uploaded the image to the en:Wikipedia. Please therefore either restore this image forthwith or provide me some explanation as to why it was unilaterally deleted without prior notice or explanation.

Update incorrect image

AzaToth, can you update the purple padlock icon to an actual purple color? It's been 5 years, and the color is still pink. Thank you - M0rphzone (talk) 06:18, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I modified the color. sorry for the inconvenience. _→AzaToth 03:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

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
