2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

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

Hi Mathieudu68, who is the sculptor and when did he die? --Túrelio (talk) 12:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Túrelio! The sculptor is Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. He died in 1904, so his works are in the public domain since 1974. Should the name of the sculpture and his date of death be mentioned with the caption and the lincense strip under the photo? Mathieudu68 (talk) 12:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be better. Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 12:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Besides, your graffiti-photos will need some discussion, as there is no freedom-of-panorama exception for publicly-installed works in France. --Túrelio (talk) 12:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Túrelio: Which templates do I have to use to set the sculptor name under the photo?
For the graffitis, I think that those photos enfringe the copyright policy. The better solution would also be to delete them. Mathieudu68 (talk) 12:53, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
a) If there is no creator-template, you might simply put the name of the sculptor into the description and eventually also in the author-entry, like I did in File:StirnbergKreuzigungAachen s8369.jpg.
b) You might first consult with another user or admin from France, as there is always the question whether graffiti, especially the illegal ones, are indeed copyrightable in France. --Túrelio (talk) 12:57, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
File:Jean-Paul II MSO.JPG has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion 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, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
