I am confused now[edit]
Why conflicted here... but I though this images because of its date was to be put under the Greek category. In the end even if they have no chance, they are worth to be put in the statistics...--Alexmar983 (talk) 03:38, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- When the image is that bad, then I don't want it to part of statistics. Kruusamägi (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- I will create "unsuitable images" categories. So there will be a honest statistics in the end. Keeping track of bad things is important IMHO. Of course it's not my priority now but I will fix it soon as I can, as I am also writing in the procedural draft. If we want create something that works in the future, than the only way is a workflow that tries to keep tracks of these things. I mean, it is not the end of the word of course if one slips away but I was taking care in a more precise way, and it's the same cost in the end.--Alexmar983 (talk) 05:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Double categorization[edit]
see this edit. I was keeping it to remove all of them at the very end, otherwise the stats are all confused since I did not start this way (I did not have the time). Than I would have removed it in the final revision. But ok, let's remove it now. the problem is that keeping them in the general I had a very clear sum of all uploaded files. Now all it's going to be scattered in a lot of national sub-sub-categories. The core point of a statistics is to be consistent. gosh , we really need to write this down clearly next time, I am ret-conning everything but I am also busy on many other sides.--Alexmar983 (talk) 07:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- here is the problem, to remove the double catgeorization, you must remove the tag... the tag should not be removed, it's a pity. You should keep such information. I am sure there are elegants way to keep information instead up sweeping under the carpet... --Alexmar983 (talk) 07:20, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- There was already some mess, so it didn't bother me that much. Like the number of images don't add up to the same number at all.
- It should also be checked that images don't have two competition categories next to them (I have found few). Or any other unsuitable categorization. Kruusamägi (talk) 07:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- I wrote some proposal by emails. this is not stricly necessary for the "finalists" but I have to fix this, plus how to list image sets (see Image sets from Wiki Science Competition 2017 in the United States), plus people are giving "winners" instead of "finalists" so i must create a better standard pages for both, and so on. This is one fo the problem to fix or I will buried in details in the week end... and I need to work too...--Alexmar983 (talk) 08:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Your best shot 2018[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I'm wishing you all the best for the New Year and I hope you're going to have many memorable photo opportunities in 2019. With 2018 coming to an end, it's time to look back at the past 12 months. I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2018 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:
Thanks for all your effort in sharing your vision of the world with others under a free license!

Wiki Loves Monuments France 2019[edit]
Bonjour,
Le concours Wiki Loves Monuments France est de retour et ouvert jusqu'à 31 septembre ! Déjà 8310 photos ont été importés cette année, vous aussi rejoignez le concours !
Le concours concerne tous les monuments présents dans la base Mérimée (qu'ils soient classés, inscrits ou simplement classés). De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la chapelle au coin de la rue aux mégalithes en forêt, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Où que vous soyez il y a des monuments autour de chez vous. Enfin, vous pouvez mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments. Pour information, le règlement est disponible sur le site du concours. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !
Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international sélectionnera ensuite des meilleures photographies mondiales.
Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.
P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France les années précédentes. Si vous avez déjà ou si ne pouvez pas participer au concours cette année, faites passer le message autour de vous pour que de nouveaux et nouvelles photographes rejoignent l'aventure !
Bonne journée,
Sarah Krichen WMFr et Nicolas Vigneron, pour l'équipe de Wiki Loves Monuments France, 14:51, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Science[edit]
I'm curious if or when the next Wiki Loves Science campaign might happen. The Structured Data on Commons development team is looking at the different campaigns that take place on Commons to see how they might be able to help out in organizing file information in the UploadWizard the next time the campaign runs. Will there be another Wiki Loves Science, and if so do you think there is interest in structured data? Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:44, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Keegan (WMF): Next Wiki Science Competition (WSC) will take place in this November.
- I'm not sure about the structured data part, as those images are exceptionally hard for this compared to files from WLM and such. And I'd like to see upload form to become simpler to use and not the opposite.
- But feel to inform me about your plans. Kruusamägi (talk) 22:33, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Understandable position for WSC. The technical documents for SDC in campaigns are available if that helps. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:56, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
WLS 2017[edit]
Dear Kruusamägi, I won the first prize of WLS France in two categories in 2017, and was informed of the results only last week, by email, by Sarah Krichen WMFr. Looking back in the archives of my talk page, and in my mail box, I have never received any notification concerning the votes of this challenge. As it seems there are prizes awarded, I wonder how I can get them today, if it's not too late. There are so many participants in those challenges, I really thought my pictures were lost in the crowd. Sarah told me you were among the people in charge of this past challenge, then I would like to understand what happened and what to do. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:28, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin: Last time I was organizing the international competition. Just to allow people from France to participate in it, there was also opened a possibility to upload images from France but there was no official local competition as there was no local organizer. So the "winners" there were just the authors of images selected to be in the final. Because of that, there were no local awards. This time Wikimedia France will organize local competition and because of there there would also be prizes. Kruusamägi (talk) 13:16, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- I see. No worry. Thanks, Kruusamägi, for the clarification. I may participate this year again (more for fun). Thanks for having allowed us to participate last time -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:07, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Important message for file movers[edit]
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)
Wiki Science Competition 2019[edit]
Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2019 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), Ukraine and France (active during November), but it's still open in all the other countries.
If you want to take part where WSC2019 is still open, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.
If you are an expert user, please consider that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.
Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, i.e. "nature and wildlife".
If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, 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 2020.
Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:
- I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
- Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
- Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.
Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,
This is a quick reminder that our second virtual meeting will take place this Saturday, September 26. The agenda entails presentations about drone photography, about the story behind a featured picture, and about the future of LRMediaWiki. We'll also discuss photographers’ contacts with the Wikimedia Foundation and the election of representatives for our user group. You'll find information about all of this on the event page:
I'm also inviting you to share some information about yourself and your photography work with other members of the user group on our new membership list:
I hope you're well during these difficult times. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:43, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Your most memorable shot 2020[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
Over the course of the past two years, we've been sharing pictures that have a special meaning with each other at the start of the new year. Today, I'm inviting you add your most memorable shot of 2020 to this page:
I hope you, your familiy, and your friends are well during these difficult times. I wish you all the best for 2021 and I can't wait to see what your most memorable shot of 2020 looks like.

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.
Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.
If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:
Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:
I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

Maa-ameti avaandmed[edit]
Kas nende kaldaerofotode juures on litsents CC BY-SA 4.0 õige, s.t küsisid kindlate piltide avaldamiseks selle litsentsi all eraldi luba? Allikas viitab Maa-ameti avaandmete litsentsile. Arvatavasti võiks selle kohta olla eraldi märgis nagu on {{OS OpenData}}. Pikne 19:21, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Küsisin pigem üldiselt, et mida nende avaandmete litsentsist arvata (kas tohib kõiki neid pilt üles panna ka CC BY-SA 4.0 all) ning kas saab ka vesimärkideta pilte. Lühidalt olid vastused "jah" ja "ei". Ehk siis esimene plaan oli mingi valik pilte üles lükata ja siis edasi vaadata, et kas leiutada miski spets mall kah neile juurde või mis üldse saama hakkab. Samuti saaks siis ära täpsutada, et milline peaks piltide juurde kuuluv teave olema. Kruusamägi (talk) 03:44, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Vast on siis nii, et Maa-ameti litsentsi tingimused pole CC BY-SA 4.0 tingimustega vastuolus. Ma arvan, et selgem oleks kasutada sama litsentsi, mis on allikas. Maa-amati litsentsis on ka eraldi öeldud, et andmete edasi levitamisel tuleb viidata ikkagi ka sellele litsentsile.
- See vesimärgindus minu meelest ei lähe avaandmete mõttega hästi kokku. Võiks kasutada malli {{Watermark}}. Siis keegi oskaja ehk kunagi eemaldab vesimärgid. Pikne 18:23, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Pikne: Tahad mingi "Maa-amet OpenData" malli kokku panna? Pm võib ju ka sellele viidata ja mitte CC litsentsile. Laias laastus on CC SA-BY nõuded ja Maa-ameti litsents niigi väga sarnased. Kui selline kohendatud litsents kenasti Commonsisse passib, siis võib ju ka kohe seda kasutada.
- Ma püüdsin ka rääkida, et need vesimärgid pole ehk hea mõte, aga nad leidsid, et on neid niigi heledamaks tuuninud ning neid ära jätta küll ei sooviks. Eks neid annaks ka välja triikida, aga see oleks hirmus suur töö, mida on keeruline hästi teha, sest neid märkeid on nii palju. Kruusamägi (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ehk sobib nii: {{Maa-amet OpenData}}. Eks tuletatud teose puhul võib kasutada teist litsentsi, aga nende originaalpiltide juures jääb minu meelest praegu liiga kergesti mulje, et Maa-amet ise on seadnud sellised tingimused nagu CC litsentsis, st muu hulgas tuleb originaalist tuletatud teose tegemisel kasutada sama CC litsentsi või ühilduvat litsentsi.

Plus que quelques jours pour participer à Wiki Loves Monuments France ![edit]
Bonjour,
Le concours Wiki Loves Monuments France est ouvert pour une semaine encore, jusqu'au 30 septembre. Déjà plus de 6 000 photos ont été importées cette année alors vous aussi rejoignez le concours ! Cette campagne de contribution concerne tous les monuments et objets mobiliers présents dans la base Mérimée et dans la base Palissy. De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la verrière décorative au reliquaire, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Vous pouvez dès à présent mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments et objets du patrimoine français. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !
Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international constituera ensuite une sélection des meilleures photographies mondiales.
Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.

Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started[edit]
Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017 and Wiki Science Competition 2019, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), but it's still open in almost all the other countries.
If you want to take part in WSC2021, 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.
Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, that is "astronomy".
If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, 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.

FP[edit]
Hello! I'd like to continue our discussion at Category talk:Featured pictures of Dülmen. Hopefully you would like to continue. My idea is, adding/creating a category like this: Category:Featured still-life photographs. IMO the category Category:Still-life photography is a good place and differs to something "objects". What do you think? --XRay 💬 06:41, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable.
- I wasn't fully sure with they name (that is also why I used question mark there). There is also Category:Studio photography and likely few others (not to mention Category:Featured pictures of objects). I don't know what would the best name for that category, but it seem to be a good idea to have something for photos like that. Kruusamägi (talk) 10:28, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- So I'll create the category - without the hyphen (Category:Featured still life photographs). Unfortunately, the notation with and without a hyphen is not consistent here at Commons. My English isn't good enough, but the dictionary say "still life". Thank you very much. --XRay 💬 10:35, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

MuIS ja public domain[edit]
Näiteks foto File:Antropoloogia ja rassiteaduse-instituudi juhataja stamp.jpg paistab olevat üsna hiljuti tehtud. Siis ei saa {{PD-old}} ju õige olla. MuIS-i kandes on logo kirjaga "PUBLICDOMAIN", täpsustamata, mis põhjusel on teos avalikus omandis. CC-i vastavat märget on peetud siin ebapiisavaks: {{Flickr-public domain mark}}. Olemas on veel {{PDMark-owner}}, aga paraku ei viita MuIS otseselt Creative Commonsisle ja pole ka selge, kas autoriõiguse omanik ise selle märke antud juhul valis. Ma arvan, et üleslaadija ja muuseum peaks seda asja veel selgitama, kas siis MuIS-is või eraldi loaga. Kui nad soovivad MuIS-is näidata, et annavad foto avalikku omandisse, siis oleks parem kasutada litsentsi {{Cc-zero}} (CC0) ja linkida seal selgelt sellele litsentsile. Pikne 14:39, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Pikne: Ma vaatasin ise ka seda ja natuke jõudsin nendega suhelda. Seal, kus MuISis mingit litsentsi polnud, pandi ka see Public Domain ja nüüd on vähemalt Commonsis ja MuISis samad litsentsid. Iseasi, et objektide fotode puhul oleks CC0 tõesti palju kohasem. Ma veel natuke mõtlen, et kuidas neid edasi torkida. Kruusamägi (talk) 15:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:
- Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:
- Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
- The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)
- You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.
- Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!
- And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.
Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!
All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…[edit]
Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.
In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 i Norge[edit]
Hi there! I see that you have participated in the Norwegian part of Wiki Loves Monuments in previous years. Thank you very much! I'd like to inform you that the 2022 edition of the contest has just started, and I want to encourage you to participate this year as well!
Photos are not required to have been taken this year – they can be from any time, as long as they are uploaded during October 2022. Maybe you have some more pictures from previous years that can be uploaded for this year's contest?
You can read more about it on the contest page. Thanks, and good luck! Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Question from the CPUG Board[edit]
Dear user group member,
I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.
With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.
That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.
However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:
Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022
We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.
All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
