You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

herkenbaarheid personen

In principe mogen we geen foto's van personen plaatsen. Ik dacht in dit geval dat de schilder niet herkenbaar is en dat de foto dus wel kan. Mee eens?

E-mail

"Ik zie dat je mijn file Havik13.jpg verwijdert en dat je de file Havik11.JPG laat verwijzen naar twee monumentnummers. Ik wist niet dat dat kon. Bedankt voor je oplettendheid." (e-mail JohnBoers)

Nee, net andersom, vooral ook omdat Havik13.jpg er veel beter uitziet; ik dacht eerst eigenlijk dat je bij Havik11.jpg per ongeluk een verkeerd bestand geupload had... Dat het me opviel is niet zo vreemd: ik ben intensief bezig met foto's van rijksmonumenten en het script wat ze op Google Maps zet, én ik kijk vaak bij de nieuwe uploads op commons... ;-) - Erik Baas (talk) 00:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Beste JohnBoers,

Alle winnende foto's van Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 zijn ondertussen gedrukt als kalenders.

Wikimedia Nederland stelt er hier 100 van beschikbaar voor alle uploaders van de afbeeldingen. Geef op de bijgevoegde link je naam en adres en we sturen je kosteloos een exemplaar toe, als dank voor je deelname! Let op: op = op!! Bestel hier één kalender per adres.

Ook zoeken wij nog vrijwilligers die het leuk vinden om mee te helpen met het organiseren van de landelijke wedstrijd of van locale evenementen (een "Wiki takes..." in je eigen woonplaats dus!). Meer informatie daarover vind je op de wiki van Wikimedia Nederland.

Question about EXIF

Hi, we are noticing that the images you are submitting to the WLM contest via the WLM Android App are lacking EXIF data. If you don't mind, can you explain why? We are just curious about how people are using the app. Please feel free to email me at pchang at wikimedia dot org. Thank you. --Philinje (talk) 18:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

request for removal: cat:De Hof

Dag,

Category:De Hof

Category:De Hof has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

I moved the subcategories to Category:Hof (Amersfoort). Greetings - Dick Bos (talk) 20:17, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2015

Beste deelnemer,

Bedankt voor het insturen van jouw foto’s van cultureel erfgoed in het kader van Wiki Loves Monuments 2015. Een professionele jury kiest straks uit alle inzendingen de beste foto’s in drie categorieën: beste foto van een monument, beste foto van een ornament en beste foto van een Dudok monument. Daarnaast is er ook een speciaal klassement voor de inzenders van de meeste foto’s van unieke monumenten. Wil jij ook kans maken op één van de vele prijzen, beschikbaar gesteld door onze partners en sponsoren? Vergeet dan niet om op Wikimedia Commons, onder voorkeuren (rechts bovenin, naast je gebruikersnaam) het vinkje bij e-mail van andere gebruikers toestaan (onder het kopje e-mail in het gebruikersprofiel), aan te vinken. Alleen deelnemers met een e-mailadres maken kans op prijzen. Benieuwd welke prijzen je allemaal kunt winnen? Kijk dan op http://www.wikimedia.nl/projectpagina/prijzenoverzicht

Groeten,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is weer begonnen!

Beste JohnBoers,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is vorige week begonnen! Aan deze fotowedstrijd nemen dit jaar 54 landen deel, waaronder bijvoorbeeld Nederland, Groot Brittannië, Thailand, Rusland, Oekraïne, maar ook de eilanden Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius en Sint Maarten in de Nederlandse Caribean. Je wordt dus van harte uitgenodigd om te kijken tussen de deelnemende landen of jouw vakantieland er ook bij zit dit jaar en je foto's uit die landen ook te delen!

Net als voorgaande jaren hebben we prijzen voor de mooiste foto en de meeste foto's en een keus gemaakt voor een speciale categorie. Heb jij een foto gemaakt van een monument waarvan voor 1 september 2017 nog geen afbeelding op Wikimedia Commons bestond? Dan doet de afbeelding mee in de speciale categorie! Heeft een monument nog geen foto in de monumentenlijst op Wikipedia, dan is het aannemelijk dat we er nog geen foto van hadden. Om het zoeken naar monumenten zonder afbeelding wat makkelijker te maken, kun je op Wikipedia lijsten en een kaart van Nederland vinden.

Tot slot nodigen we je nog van harte uit om volgende week met ons op pad te gaan. Op zaterdag 16 september wandelen we tijdens een Wiki Takes rond in Hoorn: op zondag 17 september doen we hetzelfde in Leiden. Onder ervaren gidsen wandelen we langs monumenten in de stad en nemen we ruimschoots de tijd om de monumenten goed op de foto te zetten. Aanmelden verplicht en plaatsen gelimiteerd!
Tot en met 30 september heb je de tijd om je foto's up te loaden: de top 10 gaat door naar de internationale wedstrijd, waar de hoofdprijs de nieuwste Canon EOS 5D camera is!

Veel succes gewenst,
het Nederlandse Wiki Loves Monuments team 17:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
