Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!
[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear Seagull123,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth 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 (2015) 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. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
-- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 09:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
Broad categories
[edit]Please do not add broad categories such as Category:Demonstrations and protests in Washington, D.C. when much more specific categories such as Category:Protests in Washington D.C. against Donald Trump's January 2017 executive order on immigration can be added. Thanks! MB298 (talk) 23:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, OK, thanks for the message, MB298, I'll make sure I do so in the future! Seagull123 (talk) 20:57, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Date of protests?
[edit]Hi there,
Thanks for uploading the various images of the recent SFO protests. I don't know if the Flickr user is you (I presume not?), but what is your estimation of the date? My impression is that the events were most prominently the 28th and 29th. The timestamp of the images look to be very early in the morning, and e.g. this one is described "day two" -- it's dated the 30th, but early on the 30th. My assumption is that the timestamp is a bit off, and that we're looking at the 28th and 29th (29th in that photo in particular), but perhaps you know better? Thanks. — Rhododendrites talk | 03:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Rhododendrites, you're right, the Flickr user isn't me, and I'm sorry, but I don't have any more knowledge on when the images are from. They're definitely from around the 28th-30th Jan sort of time, but I can't be anymore precise than that. Maybe it's using a different timezone? Because the one you linked to, File:SFO Muslim Ban Protest (31773498764).jpg has a time of about 2 in the morning, but it looks like it's light outside, so maybe the camera was on set a few hours off maybe?

Videos from the Department of Defense
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:US strikes in Syria launched from USS Porter.webm. In the future, please use [dvidshub.net] as a source to download videos from the United States military/DOD. They have the highest quality images and videos available, and signing up for an account is free. If you don't want to sign up for an account, let me know what video/image you want and I'll do it for you. Also, using the static url as a source for any file is not a good idea, as it does not give us a way to confirm the license. I have uploaded File:USS Porter Strikes on Syria (518031).webm and tagged File:US strikes in Syria launched from USS Porter.webm as a duplicate, since the former is a better quality resolution. Thanks, Elisfkc (talk) 16:46, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Elisfkc: OK, thanks for telling me, I didn't know. I'll make sure that in the future I follow what you said. Thanks again! Seagull123 (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Don't worry too much about those pictures. When I uploaded them I was little aware of the many rules of coin copyright, so they might be perfectly bad. Sorry for all the trouble. B25es (talk) 14:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- @B25es: I only put the message on your page because the images had been tagged, but no one had left a message on your talk page about them. And don't apologise, you probably know more about this sort of thing than me! Seagull123 (talk) 16:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Protest against Donald Trump's Muslim ban (32600494826).jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Protest against Donald Trump's Muslim ban (32600494826).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
