Extracted images

[edit]

Hello, I see you've extracted 2 files (1 and 2) from my photo.  Question What is the use of these files ? I don't think the frames are valuable because the nice reflection in the water at golden hour have completely disappeared. The ratio of the cropping seems also arbitrary. Please explain. I may revert your edit on the original soon. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Basile Morin. I've taken it upon myself to look for a replacement lead image for the "Boy" article on Wikipedia because the portrait that's there now is kind of boring. I loved your photos so I was trying to see if I could make one work as the lead. But, in thumbnail size, the boy was quite small, so I tried cropping it. But I'm afraid you're right that, in cropping the picture, I made it a lot worse! WanderingWanda (talk) 02:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No worry, thanks for your explanation -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It encourages the submission of visual representations of movement or transportation, whether by path, road, sea air, by self-propelled, animal or mechanical means, or the historical or contemporary structures that have been created to facilitate movement or the transportation of people, goods, or animals.

In addition to the value your photos contribute to understanding and African visibility, there are several prizes on offer. The international prizes are:

  • 1st prize: US$1000

Study shows Wiki Love Africa recruitment makes a difference

[edit]

Hello WanderingWanda

We are writing because you have participated in the Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) photo competition in the past. Results have been published and winning pictures may be seen here !

This year WLA partnered with the research organization CAT Lab (previously CivilServant) to help us evaluate the effectiveness of one of our recruitment efforts. You may or may not have received a message on your user talk page encouraging you to participate again in this year's competition.

We are excited to share with you their study found our recruitment message was a success and may have resulted in as many as 2,000 additional contributed photos. We hope you agree this is great news for Africa and its representation across Wikimedia. You can read more about the study and the results in this blog post.

If you have any questions about the study, we encourage you to ask CAT Lab's research manager Juliakamin(cs).
