Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!
Dear Poco a poco
Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.
After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.
The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.
As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.
Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC
Hello Poco a poco,
I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.
As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.
You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.
Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.
Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.
If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:
Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:
I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.
All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
My best regards
Hello Diego,
I don't contribute as much as you did, and usually not my best work, but I have always admired your work and dedication. It's a pity that you decided to retire from contributing, but at the same time I understand your decision.
First of all, the policy of not downsizing work for Commons is definitely bad. It hasn't changed since, I don't know, 2005? I don't know since when, but these were the times when every megapixel counted. One uploads a 12mpix or 18mpix not downsized image from $400 camera and $200 lens, and per Wikimedia rules it's better than a 32mpix downsized ultra-quality photo? Oh, your photo is very slightly unsharp at full 50mpix? It's a BAD QUALITY photo, you don't deserve a Quality Image badge, and you're not allowed to resize it to 32mpix, even though the picture would be better quality than every single photo available in the category of commons! /s It's a bad, bad policy. Discouraging.
They claim not downsampling is for greater good, but as a photographer who had his photos in Figaro, Guardian, FAZ, USA Today and hundreds of other publications, I can vouch for the publishing industry: a publisher would happily accept somewhat downsampled image, over a slightly blurry, or purple fringed full size photo.
Sometimes Wikimedia projects work like a soulless corporation. But among self-important nitpickers, there are also users who enjoyed your great contributions to the projects!
