Обавештавамо Вас да је Ваша фотографија „Fritillaria“ изабрана у полуфинале такмичења „Вики воли Земљу 2016“.
Позивамо Вас да присуствујете свечаном проглашењу победника и отварању изложбе у среду, 22. јуна, у Туристичкој органзацији Србије (Чика Љубина 8, Београд), од 18 сати.
Част нам је да вас обавестимо да је одлуком нашег жирија ваша фотографија изабрана међу двадесет најбољих, од којих ће првих десет бити прослеђено интернационалном жирију. Тамо ће добити прилику да се такмиче са фотографијама из преко 40 земаља. Честитамо вам од срца и бићете обавештени о наградама, даљим активностима, као и изложби која ће се догодити до краја ове године.
Двадесет најбоље пласираних фотографија можете погледати на страници: http://wlm.rs/pobednici
Обавештавамо вас да ће изложба и додела награда бити померене за март 2017. године због техничких разлога. О тачном месту и времену одржавања ћете бити благовремено обавештени. Извињавамо се због одлагања и захваљујемо на разумевању.
Организациони тим такмичења "Вики воли споменике 2016" за Србију.
Вики воли споменике 2016 - Саопштење Викимедије Србије
Након вишемесечних компликација у вези са реализацијом такмичења Вики воли споменике 2016, Викимедија Србије je донела одлуку да из својих средстава награди победнике овог фото-конкурса.
Викимедија Србије је подржала Интерглајдер у организацији овог фото-такмичења, узимајући у виду претходно успешне реализоване активности и остварене сарадње са овoм агенцијом. Улога огранка Викимедије у Србији била је у медијској подршци такмичењу.
Будући да после неколико накнадно продужаваних рокова за проглашење победника до церемоније доделе награда није дошло, као ни планиране изложбе, Викимедија Србије је спремна да прихвати одговорност и учествује у решавању овог проблема. Стога је донета одлука да се победницима конкурса доделе награде и то:
награда: Таблет
награда: Енциклопедија свезнања
награда: Екстерна батерија са звучником
Нажалост, тренутно не постоји могућност организовања церемоније доделе награда и организовање изложбе, али уколико до ње дође, учесници такмичења, као и шира јавност, биће благовремено обавештени.
Викимедија Србије се извињава свим учесницима на непријатностима и захваљује се на стрпљењу.
Овим проглашавамо процес такмичења Вики воли споменике за 2016. годину завршеним.
Фотоконкурсът „Уики обича Земята“ 2017 започва – очакваме те!
„Уики обича Земята“ 2017 започва!
Здравей, BrankaVV
получаваш това писмо, тъй като миналата година си участвал/а в изданията на „Уики обича Земята“ през 2015 или 2016 г. или „Уики обича паметниците“ 2015 или 2016. До края на този месец юни, те каним отново да участваш в тазгодишното фотосъстезание „Уики обича Земята 2017“.
Отново търсим твоите снимки от защитените природни обекти на България – национални и природни паркове, резервати, защитени местности и природни забележителности и отново това могат да са както пейзажи, така и снимани в близък план животни и растения. Специален акцент тази година поставяме на снимките на балканските и българските еднемични растителни видове. Отново няма ограничения за броя снимки, с които можеш да участваш в конкурса и можеш да използваш същата регистрация в Общомедия като миналогодишната. Не е нужно и снимките да са правени през този един месец – можеш да разгледаш архивите си и да споделиш снимки и от минали години и сезони. Единственото условие на конкурса е да отдадеш снимките си под свободен лиценз и без водни знаци и други надписи с декларации за авторството върху тях.
Авторите на първите 10 класирани снимки ще продължат в международния кръг на „Уики обича Земята“ и ще представят страната ни. Някои от партньорите ни в конкурса ще предоставят награди – книги по география и екология. Междувременно, ако качиш над 25, 50 и 100 снимки, ще получиш съответно виртуална бронзова, сребърна и златна УОЗ-значка ;)
Но най-важното за „Уики обича Земята“ е, че с дарените от теб снимки енциклопедичното знание, достъпно на български език, се разраства и подобрява, тъй като използваме снимките за илюстриране на съществуващи и създаване на нови статии в Уикипедия! Затова не се колебай, а участвай!:)
Хвала на сугестијама, свака је добродошла:) Надам се да ће фотографије објављене у наредној години бити знатно бољег квалитета. До сада сам на снимила неколико хиљада фотографија и прилично технички "узнапредовала", али квалитет и даље варира, најчешће из разлога лоших светлосних услова, неприступачног терена, умора...

Hi BrankaVV,
The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey about your experience with Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia. The purpose of this survey is to learn how well the Foundation is supporting your work on wiki and how we can change or improve things in the future. The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation.
A couple of weeks ago, we invited you to take the Community Insights Survey. It is the Wikimedia Foundation’s annual survey of our global communities. We want to learn how well we support your work on wiki. We are 10% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal! Your voice matters to us.
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.

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have grantedautopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. - FitIndiaTalkMail 19:04, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
We are happy to share with you winning images for this year's edition. This year saw over 7,707 images represented on commons in over 20 countries. Kindly see images here

We hope to have you contribute to the campaign next year.
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.
