File:Painted door (Photographer). Funchal, Madeira.jpg[edit]
You deleted the "Crackelure" category, citing the fact that there are no craquelures in the image. Take a closer look, please. There are a lot of craquelures around the door, and on the door itself there is a purposeful image of craquelure. -- Ввласенко (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ввласенко The wikipedia article describes that effect as "a fine pattern of dense cracking", something that can't be seen in any place of that photo. Just because the painting is falling away, it doesn't mean it's craquelure. Darwin Ahoy! 18:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ввласенко Hmm... Looking better, there is some craquelure in the lower part of the door, indeed... I added the category back. Darwin Ahoy! 18:58, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Let me note that geologists also use “craquelure” talking about mud cracks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudcrack). Most broadly, the term refers to any pattern created by fractures, even at the scale of rock formations. The Wikipedia article is somewhat one-sided. -- Ввласенко (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2023[edit]
Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019 and Wiki Science Competition 2021, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2023 has started in almost all the countries.
If you want to take part in WSC2023, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.
If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.
If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase (such as Russia), please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2024.
Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.
