Copy editing
Hi Ganímedes
Do you mind if I copy edit your Newsworthy challenge entry for better English? I would change it as follows if you agree:
"Every year on February 2nd thousands of person [people] go to beaches and rivers to ask [for] favours or [give] thanks to Iemanjá, godness [goddess] of the sea. Elements like [such as] ships, ballons [balloons], flowers and fruits are very common to see."

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement
Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open!
- ⧼Wikibase-terms/2014⧽: Deutsch, Ελληνικά, English, français, magyar, italiano, македонски, 日本語, русский, svenska
Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of 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 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Commons:Photo challenge-translations
Hello Ganímedes,
I saw that you did most of the translations for the Commons:Photo challenge page to Spanish and wanted to ask if you are still interested in translating texts for this project. If you are, there are several things that could be translated: a) the page itself was just actualised, b) we started to translate the challenge descriptions themselves (so far only with langswitch), and c) I just posted translations to French and English for the watchlist notice (MediaWiki talk:WatchlistNotice - the last entry), where other languages could be added.
Best wishes, --Anna reg (talk) 12:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Ganímedes,
- Just wanted to notify you that the challenges for August are ready for translation - if you find the time, here are the links: Hair & Holidays.
- The general rules which remain the same from month to month are now transferred into two templates - Template:Photo challenge rules and Template:Photo challenge rules restricted (the only difference between the two templates is that the sentence but may have been taken earlier is missing in the restricted one). The templates can also be translated.

Commons:Photo challenge-translations (January)
Hello Ganímedes,
the January themes seem to be decided... we only have one new theme - Outlier, as Bad weather & Household items in use will be continued during January.
And perhaps you can check the watchlist message for January that will be prepared in Helen's sandbox.
Best wishes and a happy new year, --Anna reg (talk) 19:49, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!
Hi Ganímedes, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:
- Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
- Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
- Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.
