Hi. Thanks for warning me. Please don't use the word 'vandalism' for an obvious accident, though. What happened is I clicked 'edit' on today's section; when you save your edits it overwrites everything else on the page. I'm not sure this should happen. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 13:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Is there any special reason why the Synhalonia image set is stuck in the FPC and not promoted? Thanks. Gidip (talk) 20:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gideon!

A FP image set could be promoted manually, the FPCbot can't make such work.

Unfortunately, I am not present free time to make promotion.

Что мне делать?

Здравствуйте, Георгий. Не знаю, захотите ли Вы меня выслушать, ну так вот. Я зарегистрировался на Викискладе впервые под именем StasKulchenko (июнь 2012 г). Сразу загрузил по неопытности много несвободных файлов и был заблокирован на 3 дня. Через день обошёл блокировку уч.записью Svinets (не знал, что запрещено регистрировать несколько уч.записей), а затем создал новую уч.запись Chem11a. Но после этого, я узнал, что уже существует автоматически созданная уч.запись Stas1995 (возможно, потому, что я гораздо раньше зарегистрирован под этим именем в Википедии). Почитав правила, я понял, что должен быть заблокирован бессрочно. Так ли это, тем более, что я осознал свои ошибки?

Вопрос: можно ли удалить весь вклад и страницы тех уч.записей? С них я не могу совершать каких-либо действий, так как потерял пароли. C уважением, Stas1995 (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Георгий, я вправе продолжать работу в проекте? --Stas1995 (talk) 16:34, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Здравствуйте, Стас!

Продожайте работать, всё в порядке. Я только заблокирую лишние аккаунты, чтобы к Вам не возникло никаких вопросов или претензий в будущем. Вклад с тех аккаунтов никто удалять не будет.

С уважением, Георгий --George Chernilevsky ^talk 16:37, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Help needed

Hi, George Chernilevsky, Sorry to ask for your help but, as the VI page was overcrowded, I tried, yesterday evening, to close a valued image set candidate : "San Martino (Venice) Exterior", nominated by Archeodontosaurus a long time ago... but I didn't succeed. It's obvious I forgot one stage of the long process (I'm not used to it). I tried to correct my mistake in a few different ways yesterday evening. This morning, as I thought I was asking for the suppression of an unuseful category, I asked, in fact, for the suppression of the set itself on the VI candidate page... Im very confused. I apologised yesterday evening on Archeo's discusson page ; I think I have to apologize again. -- Can you please have a look at the problem and give me a hand if it's possible ? Thanks in advance. -- Sorry for my English. Best regards. JLPC (talk) 11:16, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Early closure of DRs

George:

I noticed that you closed a number of DRs before the seven days were up -- such as Commons:Deletion requests/File:TRNA.jpg.

It usually doesn't matter, but occasionally it is helpful to be able to say to an editor that a DR was open for the full seven days required by our policy and the discussion -- or, more often, the lack of it -- reflects the community consensus.

I also think that it is important that Admins follow the rules carfully -- anything less hurts us all in the eyes of the average user.

Of course, in cases of DRs that meet the guidelines for {{Speedy}}, there is no problem with an early closure, but these don't fit that situation. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:27, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jim!

OK. But all this DRs were very simple and clear for decision-making...

With best regards, George -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 21:47, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but for me, at least, it's the very simple ones that have someone coming to me asking why I deleted their file. As I said, it's nice to be able to say that we obeyed our own rules before deleting it. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:37, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for correcting the identification. User JLPC also told me that it is a cosmos. I've added the rename template.

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
