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

UK tag for Stirling Castle...

...Hi, just to say that I've noted on the relevant page that File:StirlingCastle1900.jpg, which you uploaded a while back in 2006 I think, needs a valid UK tag, since the photograph was originally taken in the UK. Cheers! Hchc2009 (talk) 09:41, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Wrong and not correct ! See this discussion. Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 19:50, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

hi, nice upload. i'm afraid the LOC image link does not work i.e give an error 500 [1], but there is a correct link here [2] could be an LOC issue, but beyond my ken. Slowking4 ♡ Farmbrough's revenge 22:23, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Fotoflug Münsterland

Hi, danke dass du beim Kategorisieren und Nachbereiten hilfst. Ich habe bislang die Fotos nur mit dem Autokorrektur (Farbabgleich und Gammakorrektur) von Irfan View auf Basis der jpeg-s verbessert. Wenn du spezielle Fotos gerne noch besser haben möchtest, lass es mich wissen. Ich kann dann die RAWs noch einmal speziell entwickeln. Bei der Gelegenheit kann man dann das ein oder andere Foto noch gerade ausrichten. Das war aus dem Flieger manchmal etwas schwierig. Bei einigen (insb. den ersten) Fotos bei Lüdinghausen war es außerdem noch recht diesig. Da leidet dann beim Verbessern der Fotos die Farbqualität auch ein bischen. VG
Watzmann ^Talk 17:09, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Ich hatte mich ja auf der Projektseite bereiterklärt mitzuhelfen. Ich habe mir vorgenommen, erst eine ordentliche Portion Fotos zu kategorisieren und zu beschreiben, ehe ich es, wage Nachbearbeitungsanfragen zu stellen ;) (wenn sie überhaupt nötig sind). Aber mir ist auf jeden Fall schon einmal aufgefallen, dass es noch diverse Anlagen im Münsterland gibt, die noch gar keinen Artikel in der de-WP haben. -- Gruß Sir Gawain (talk) 14:39, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Super! Erst einmal zwischendurch vielen Dank! Du bist ja echt aktiv. Derzeit versuche ich hinterher zu kommen. Die Dateien, die du kategorisiert hast, benenne ich um, damit die Namen passen. Aber ich muss gleich unterbrechen und mache später weiter. :-) --XRay ^talk 12:23, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze

Hallo Sir Gawain,

in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.

Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.

In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.

Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)

Quellenangabe Heinrich v Reuschenberg

Hallo Sir Gawain,

ich gebe es ungerne zu, aber ich weiss nicht wie. Kannst Du mir sagen, wo ich die Infos hinterlegen kann? Dazu kommt noch, dass ich das Foto digital überarbeitete/restauriert habe. Es handelt sich also streng genommen nicht um eine "originalgetreue fotografische Reproduktion", auch wenn ich nichts verzerrt oder verfälscht habe.

Viele Grüße, --Cüper (talk) 16:46, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Cüper! Das funktioniert auf die gleiche Weise, wie eine Seite zu bearbeiten. Auf der Seite File:HeinrichvonReuschenberg1599.jpg klickst du oben auf den Reiter "Bearbeiten". In dem Bearbeitungsfenster steht dann der bisherige Text der Datei-Seite, den es zu ergänzen gilt. Hinter "|Source=" ergänzt du einfach, woher die Datei stammt. Hast du das Foto selbst gemacht und dann mit Phoptoshop überarbeitet? Dann reicht es an der besagten Stelle {{own}} einzufügen. Wenn du möchtest, kannst du mir die Informationen auch hier auf die Diskussionsseite schreiben, und ich übertrage sie dann auf die Dateiseite. -- Gruß Sir Gawain (talk) 17:02, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Sir Gawain, das wäre nett. Das Foto wurde mir von Pat Vincent zur Verfügung gestellt. Sie ist die Kommunikationverantwortliche in Schloss Alden Biesen bei Biesen/Belgien. Ich vermute mal, dass nicht sie selbst das Foto gemacht hat. Ich habe es auf alle Fälle anschließend mit Photoshop "restauriert". Grüße --Cüper (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Cüper! Ich habe gemäß deiner obigen Angaben einmal eine Quellenangabe auf der Datei-Seite ergänzt. Danke und Gruß -- Sir Gawain (talk) 17:49, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Kassel

Hello, Sir Gawain! Prompt loading mechanism high resolution pictures from the site http://altemeister.museum-kassel.de. Thank you very much for your help.

Sir Gawain! Please help if you can. You have not once rescued me. Thank you.

Sorry, Lois976. Currently, I do not have the time to fullfill your request. Sorry for that. -- Greetz Sir Gawain (talk) 17:12, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Do not worry, I'll wait. The main thing that you have helped.

Dear Sir Gawain, well, when finally I wait from you the execution of its request. I beg to assist me and no longer be postponed. With hope and gratitude Lois976.

As I said before: Currently, I do not have the time to fullfill your request. "Currently" means in my case, for the next 2 or 3 months. -- Sir Gawain (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Sir Gawain! Tell me, now you already have free time, at least to explain to me how to download images in high resolution? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 178.120.136.48 (talk) 16:23, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Meanwhile it's quiet easy:

1. Use Firefox as browser
2. Open the zoom view of the desired image and copy the URL from the browser's address bar, e.g. http://altemeister.museum-kassel.de/bildbetrachter.php?funktion=zoom&bild1=33794&sf1=&bild2=&sf2=
3. Go to this address: http://ophir.alwaysdata.net/dezoomify/dezoomify.html
4. Paste the copied image URL into the address field and click "Send"
5. Wait until the complete image is shown in high resolution
6. Right click onto the image and chose "Save image as"

That's all. Good luck. -- Greetz Sir Gawain (talk) 16:45, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Good afternoon. For some reason, this service stopped working. Could you tell me how to download pictures differently? Thank you for your help.

Madame de Grignan ??? Doubtful...

Hi Sir Gawain,

Are you sure that this is a portrait of Madame de Grignan, the daughter of Madame de Sévigné ? She died in 1705 (during the reign of Louis XIV of France), and her clothes (and hair-dress) are typical of the time of the king Louis XV, the grand-grand-son of L. XIV... Look in the category, other portraits are very different. Thanks for answer ! Best regards from Paris.--Jebulon (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jebulon,

The painting was sold as a portrait of Madame de Grignan in 2010. Here you can find another version of the image. The non-contemporary look of her clothes and her hair-dress may be a result of the fact, that this is a posthumous portrait of 1753. Kind Regards -- Sir Gawain (talk) 17:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for answer. As for me, it is an obvious mistake. I'll try to know more about. Thanks again.--Jebulon (talk) 19:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo Sir Gawain,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

Margaret of Austria Van Orley image KMSKA

Dear Sir Gawain,

I am Sam Donvil from an organisation called 'Packed vzw center for digital heritage'. We are an ngo that supports the Flemish and Brussels heritage and arts sectors with questions and projects related to digital heritage. An important part of our activity consists of convincing museums and archive to publish their digital collections online in a way that people are able to use them, ie. by providing them under a free license on platforms where people are already active such as the Wikimedia platforms (particularly Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata). In order to do this frequently collaborate with the Wikimedia Belgium community.

I am contacting you because we noticed that in 2011 you added [of Austria Van Orley.jpg] to Wikimedia Commons. Am I correct to conclude that you did this because you have a strong personal interest towards the public domain? At Packed we would like to connect more closely with the people in the Wikimedia community that are contributors and editors and find out what their interests are and what motivates them. We are also quite interested to know where you managed to find such a high-resolution image because LUKAS doesn't offer them on their website directly. We also noticed that you added a very interesting exhibition history. Do you always try to include this and where did you find the data?

At Packed we are working with the VKC Vlaamse Kunstcollectie in order to open up the digital collections of several fine and contemporary art museums in Flanders. Check [[3]] for more info on the project. As you will see we initially published datasets on Wikidata. We only recently obtained permission to prepare the LUKAS images for publication to link them to the datasets on Wikidata.

As you may know this year Victor Horta will enter the public domain. We are currently involved in the organisation of the 2018 public domain day in may for which we are convincing a maximum of institutions and individuals to contribute images of Horta exterior and interiors (if possible by organising photo tours) and in March we will put Horta related article creation high on the suggestion list for the [Writing Weeks].

The next Wikipedia writing session/photography drive we are organising is themed around the commune of Forest/Vorst in Brussels. For more info check out the Facebook page of the event.

If you like, feel free to write us a message explaining a bit what your interests are and what kind of activities could interest you: sam@packed.be

With kind regards, Sam

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019

Hallo Sir Gawain,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2019 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Es sind viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die aber in Zukunft unbedingt benötigt wird, dann freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Mitte September 2019 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg bei größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again!

Hi

You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in the UK. We'd be delighted if you would do so again this year and help record our local built environment for future generations.

You can find more details at the Wiki Loves Monuments UK website. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

Many thanks for your help once more! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
