postcard - no PD-RU-exempt

Привет. А есть какое-то обсуждение или внятное подтверждение того, что почтовые карточки не подпадают под статью 1259 пункт 6?

Т.е. откуда следует, что марки и конверты - это "государственные символы и знаки (флаги, гербы, ордена, денежные знаки и тому подобное)", а карточки, выпускаемые тем же гос. аппаратом (почтой) - нет? -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 19:20, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

• Подпадают только почтовые марки — как официальные знаки почтовой оплаты. Вопрос неоднократно поднимался на форуме по авторскому праву рувики, например: ru:Википедия:Форум/Архив/Авторское право/Декабрь 2007#Почтовые открытки. NBS (talk) 19:35, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

File:Ru-Vozdushnii korabl (Lermontov poem).ogg

Всё хорошо, кроме первой строчки, где чтец делает неверное ударение в третьем слове вОлнам, вместо волнАм, тем самым нарушая ритм этой строки. Должно быть: «По сИним волнАм океАна». Чтобы не вводить слушателей в заблуждение, желательно было бы это исправить... А пока пришлось убрать этот файл из Викитеки, см. здесь. Всего наилучшего. Dmitrismirnov (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Спасибо, @Дмитрий, что обратили внимание на мою ошибку. Исправил ударение, файл перезалил. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 15:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

@Андрей, не хотите ли указать имя чтеца рядом со ссылкой на аудиозапись? Если да, то как правильно написать: Андрей Крыжановский? Dmitrismirnov (talk) 09:51, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

@Дмитрий, правильно через "и": "Андрей Крижановский". Я вовсе не против указания имени, хотя уже привык в Википедии, что имя диктора есть только на странице файла на Викискладе.

Посмотрел Шаблон:Аудиостатья в Викитеке... не, пожалуй, я не рискну что-то в нём редактировать, чтобы добавить имя. Сложновато :) -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 11:04, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Хорошо. Добавил здесь: Список аудиозаписей. Dmitrismirnov (talk) 11:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Спасибо! Если увидим такие списки аудио в иноязычных викитеках, то поставим интервики. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 16:19, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth 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 favourite images featured on Commons during the last year (2025) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 18 April 2026, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
