Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Vanamonde93,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 1475 candidate images. There are 58 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 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections#Sockpuppetry and Impersonation. You may have information to aid Commons on this case.

As you can see, I have opened the case. I am not unduly familiar with Commons processes either 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 16:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try to keep an eye on it...Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:19, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

I found it hard to navigate Commons at first. I still get stuff wrong! Almost all my work here is deletions, which also adds in vandal hunting! Thank you for adding value to the discussion above. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 17:26, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Well, you've made a few thousand edits, while I believe I'm still under a hundred :) Being an en-wiki functionary doesn't get you very far in terms of understanding a different project, I find.Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

And almost all of those edits are deletion nominations! I find the behaviour of uploaders here to be astounding, claiming material as their own work when it cannot be. I am lucky that I've been granted rights that allow me to use a batch deletion nomination tool here, it saves a huge amount of work and makes life very easy. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 18:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

It sounds...tedious. Verifying the contributions of new accounts is hard enough on en.wiki. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Strangely rewarding! It's easier than w:en:WP:AFC reviews! 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 20:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
