Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

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)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi

Hello, regarding the deletion notifications, I think it's best to disengage. I understand that you really wish to keep the photos, and I agree with you that they should be kept (as I said, I'm an inclusionist), but I don't think that it will help to continue the discussion on the deletion request, and, especially if you are accusing the filing party, of malicious intent, it might actually backfire and you might find yourself at some of the disciplinary boards of Wiki Commons. I think all arguments for keeping and/or deleting the images have been made. We've done what we were able to do to keep the images, and now it's up to an admin to decide what to do.

I think that at least some of the images will not be deleted (e.g. that of Jasper Zoova even if there's no article on him — I've seen that another editor, who is not engaged in the deletion discussion, has created a Wikidata entry on Zoova). I've done what I could to establish the people's notability, now it's up to the admins to decide whether the filing party's argument of non-notability is correct or not. I think, given that there's a VRT permission for the photos and that at least some of the people are notable to some extent, there's a decent chance that the photos will be kept, especially since there's no consensus in the community to delete them, and there's no other urging/significant reason to delete them (such as "copyright violation"). So, the only potential reason is "out of scope", but in such cases, where things are up for a case by case analysis and measured on a rather subjective scale of what's in scope and what is not, I would say, that consensus or lack thereof matters for the closing admin's decision to keep or delete the images. And the current situation looks like there's no consensus to delete the images, especially since it's not just you —the uploader— who is objecting the deletion, but also me —an independent, uninvolved Wikipedian. And there's also the person who created the Wikidata entry on Jasper Zoova, who is neither you, nor I. Given this, I think, there's a chance that the images won't be deleted, so we can step back from the discussion now and leave it to the admins.

You could also contact the person, who created the Jasper Zoova entry, and ask them to give some input to the deletion discussion. However, be aware, the person, who created that entry, also added several of those photos to the Category:Men of Estonia (not notable), so that person might end up supporting the deletion of some of the photos while objecting the deletion of some others. But it still might be good to have a third person contribute their opinion to the case. That person also seems to be active on the Estonian Wiki project and thus might be familiar with the people depicted in the photos. :)

Sorry, for the wall of text. I just thought it might be good to express some support and give some advice since it seemed like the deletion request was getting to you quite a bit... Anyway, I wish you a good day :) Nakonana (talk) 14:37, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

There is no lack of small, blurry and repetitive snapshots. Going after a decent files (that are actually used) is extreme deletionism, and that should not be tolerated. What next? He nominates photos of African writers for deletion, as he has never heard about them, or photos about cultural monuments, as there are no articles on them (or he just considers them promotional). Already the damage to the reputation of Wikimedia Commons would be immense.

One example of an unused file there: Silberg. He has been a lecturer on multiple public universities / colleges, held department director position, has published books, and is a municipal politician. Some time ago even brought a manor house. He is not too notable, but if there would be an article on him in the Estonian Wikipedia, then we would consider him easily notable enough to keep the article (assuming the article quality is also reasonable). // As for Zoova, we should actually have an article about him.

And I also don't like that "newbe" insulting me and lecturing me about how Wikipedia works... I have been contributing since 2006 and I am an administrator in multiple Wikimedia projects. Also, as an Estonian I am far more aware on how notable someone is or is not. Not everyone we would find notable for an article should have an article in English Wikipedia, but Wikimedia Commons should serve all projects.

He may have a lot of edits thanks to the massive use of the Cat-a-lot tool, but there should be some deeper investigation about his activities. Going around and nominationg stuff for deletion without even checking first is clear vandalism. Kruusamägi (talk) 13:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@Nakonana: I now also looked at his user talkpage history and there are comments like this. So this seems pretty clear, that this user has done the same thing in numerous times before and keeps on doing so unless he is stopped. Kruusamägi (talk) 14:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

"nominates photos of African writers for deletion" This actually does happen — not necessarily by this user but in general it's something that I've come across on the deletion request page and it also happens when new articles on En Wiki are created that are stubs at the time of creation and don't establish very obviously to the En Wiki user that the subject is notable (like, mentioning that the subject is a recipient of a locally well-known award might not be enough to convince an En Wiki user of the subject's notability). Some don't even seem to do a courtesy Google search before nominating for deletion, unfortunately. That's why deletion requests that state "not notable person" or "who is this?" usually spark my curiosity and I do a Google search on the depicted person if the person's name is attached somewhere. If I find something, I post my results as a comment on the deletion request page for the admins to assess notability. I also think that explicitly hunting for supposedly out of scope stuff is kind of a waste of time. Hunting for copyright violations certainly makes sense, but out of scope stuff doesn't harm anyone if it just sits around (until someone accidentally stumbles on it, or not). And as for the nominations of this user in particular, you might have a case as there's a history for that already. But I also see that they are nominating clear copyvios and that's appreciated, so, personally, I'm not at a point where I would report them, but I understand that some might want to. Nakonana (talk) 14:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Adding those Google search results is a really valuable addition. People who don't bother to do even basic checks and generate that much mess for others with non-needed deletion requests should be blocked, as this is extremely damaging to the project. There is nothing to achieve there besides demotivating photographers/uploaders. It even doesn't save any memory space, as all deleted files are still kept.

Wiki Loves Monuments in Estonia

Hi Ivo, I saw you are listed as organizer of Wiki Loves Monuments in Estonia. In the past the local team from Estonia had a short summary in Eglish on https://wikilovesmonuments.ee/in-english/ This page is now not available. Can you please make sure there is somwhere an English summary and add this to the page Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024/Landing pages. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 16:36, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@Romaine: We haven't had any access to the wikilovesmonuments.ee website for years (the domain no longer belongs to us). No user should be directed there!

We are not overly interested in setting up some English pages, as whatever Estonian IP-addresses the banner is shown, the person should be able to speak Estonian (or in rare cases outside of that, just use a translation function in the browser).

We could put that to "Vikipeedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/en". But is that really necessary? Kruusamägi (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Kruusamägi, Officially it is asked for by the international team, but I am not going to demand it. I just wanted to know the status of the old wlm.ee url as it was still linked in the infrastructure for Estonia. I think I removed it now everywhere and the links go all to the Wikipedia page. Romaine (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

I have noticed this part, but at the same time I have also participated in other countries by sometimes uploading images, and foreigners have uploaded images here, and I don't see too much need to translate stuff foreigners would not be interested in. There is just a need to know monument ID-s and click on the upload link. :D Kruusamägi (talk) 19:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

{{PermissionTicket}} tags go on the image page or category page, not the talk page.

Also, you should put the tag on each of the image pages. I would do it, but I am not a member of the VRT, so they would all be tagged for review. If you don't tag them, sooner or later they will be deleted for no license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Obviously that is not so simple. Files might be marked, but mostly they were not properly categorized before (as if they had been, then usually they should had been deleted long before) and more files could be added in the future (that still fall under the permission). So at the time of permission, there likely are only a few files (which usually are nominated for deletion). It has also been claimed to me that permission tickets could not be put on templates, so whatever reuse is hindered, what would make it simpler to mark when everything is ok.

Infotahvlid

Tervist, mõned mu fotod monumentide, surnuaedade jm. infotahvlitest on nomineeritud kustutamisele. Kas tõesti on seal mingi autorikaitse peal? Minu loogika ütleb, et infotahvel on osa monumendist, ehk siis monumenti ka ei tohiks pildistada kui infotahvlit ei tohi. LeeMarx (talk) 19:54, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

@LeeMarx: Jutt on seega sellest. Infotahvlite puhul saab rääkida eraldiseisvast kujundusest. Keegi on ju selle teksti välja mõelnud, joonised joonistanud, disaini loonud. Vaidlustada annaks seda nt selle, selle ja selle faili puhul, sest neil põgusal vaatusel küll erilist autoriloomingut silma ei jää. Ülejäänutega on keerulisem. Nt siin võiks olla ju ilmne, et see on kellegi looming ehk keegi on andmete kogumise ja disainiga omajagu vaeva näinud. Monumendi enda staatus ei puutu mitte kuidagi siia. Võid mõelda sellest nii, et ei lõppe mingi maali autoriõigus, kui riputame selle miski vana maja seinale. Kruusamägi (talk) 11:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth 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 (2024) 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 top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 27 September 2025, 23:59:59 UTC.

WSC Upload Wizard banner issue

Hello, Ivo! WSC Bangladesh has started 2 days ago, but the Upload Wizard banner isn't updated. Can we use Commons:Wiki Science Competition 2025 in Bangladesh/Upload Wizard Banner instead? — Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 18:37, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

@Meghmollar2017: Ok, I'll check. But you can use that as well. Kruusamägi (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

We would like to use that one, then. @Wasiul Bahar, can you please edit the campaign page? — Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 18:47, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

WSC - Albania & Kosovo

Hello! Recently we created this page for Albania and Kosovo (I'm an admin of the Albanian Wikipedia). Should we do anything else to ensure participation in the competition? Maybe our page should be listed somewhere in the main page of the WSC? If so, can you help us with that given that it is the first time we are participating in this? We would be grateful. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 10:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

The main landing page for the international participation is this. I now updated it. Just checking if you would like to use two different upload forms or just one is enought? As of now I have only updated the Albanian one, but could update the other as well. Kruusamägi (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! Yes, 2 different forms. If I'm not mistaken, I've already set up 2 different campaigns with their own different categories. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:56, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Information on temporary account IP viewer rights

Hello Kruusamägi,

On November 12, temporary accounts will be enabled on Commons. The IP of unregistered users will then be hidden for most users. You, as a patroller or license reviewer, are eligible to request the new temporary account IP viewer right, if you need it to continue fighting vandalism and abuse on Commons. If you want to request the right, please file the request here. Please be aware that you also have to accept the Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy in your preferences. For more information about temporary accounts, look at the project page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:34, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

WSC international form: (small) error

Dear Kruusamägi,

I hope you are doing well!

I just uploaded two photos to WSC 2025 by using the international form which has an open upload period of 01.11.2025 to 31.12.2025 according to this page and this page.

I noticed that the form automatically places images in categories from the WSC 2023 competition instead of categories of the WSC 2025 competition. I guess the numbers where just not updated in the uploadwizzard. Would it be possible to update the form so that it places the pictures directly in the 2025 category ?

Thank you in advance for your help and wishing you a nice day!

Kind regards, -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:23, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent: thank you for noticing! I will fix it now. Kruusamägi (talk) 22:49, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Terrific! Many thanks for looking into it! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:55, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

WLS - Australia & New Zealand

Hi I need some help with the category for Wikilobes Scoence in Australia & New Zealand. We are running a combined campaign because both countries work very closely together on these topics and its more efficient than running campaigns in each country. Would it be possible for {{Wiki Science Competition 2025/i18n}} to have

| aunz = [[Category:Images from Wiki Science Competition 2025 in Australia and New Zealand|{{PAGENAME}}]]

added so that the campaign captures images in to the category rather than having them fall through via

|#default=[[Category:Images from Wiki Science Competition 2025 in an unknown country|{{PAGENAME}}]]

Thanks in advance Gnangarra 03:18, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I just editted it to add the necessary line Gnangarra 03:33, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm still missing something Gnangarra 07:21, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I am not sure what is off there. I will look into this. Kruusamägi (talk) 16:54, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

WSC CH 2025: message saying upload period is closed

Dear Kruusamägi,

According to this page and this page, the upload period for WSC 2025 in Switzerland has started 15 November 2025 UTC (or CET).

However when I go on the upload wizzard it says that the uploads are closed : (screenshot).

Would it be possible to update the upload wizzard and confirm if uploads are open for WSC 2025 in Switzerland?

Thank you in advance !

Kind regards, -- Giles Laurent (talk) 00:50, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent: It should be fixed now, but it might still show the old template as it would take time to update cache. Feel free to make a test upload. Kruusamägi (talk) 11:37, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the edit but it still says that it's closed. It might indeed be a cache problem but I thought that it would update after 2 days. Do you know if there is any way to purge the cache? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

I do not know why it is so slow. There has so far been one upload and it seemed to work. Kruusamägi (talk) 08:35, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

It's been 5 days and it's still not updated. But I just had an idea that might work and that could be worth a try:

Maybe if you update this page, it forces to update the UploadWizard that is based on the content of that page.

Could you try it? Thank you in advance! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:22, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent: is it better now? Kruusamägi (talk) 11:50, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

It's now working, thank you very much! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:44, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

It's solved for Switzerland but not for Italy, could it be fixed too? Thank you and wishing you a beautiful week-end! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2025

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019, Wiki Science Competition 2021 and Wiki Science Competition 2023, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2025 has started in almost all the countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2025, 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 Chile or Bangladesh), 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 2026.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Request for help

Hi. I am helping the lead organiser of the WSC edition of the UK, and she asked me to help with building the standalone upload page, that can be activated only by creating the necessary page in the Campagin: page. Could you look at this? NikosLikomitros (talk) 21:47, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

@NikosLikomitros: for UK there already is Campaign:wsc-gb. So nothing needs to be done. But it might help if people communicate with me :P Kruusamägi (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Your Most Memorable Shot Submission!

Hello Kruusamägi!

As we step into a new year, we’re happy to invite you to take part in “Your Most Memorable Shot 2025.”

Since 2018, photographers from across the Wikimedia community have come together at the beginning of each year to share the photographs that meant the most to them over the past twelve months. Now in its eighth iteration, this tradition continues to be a space for reflection, storytelling, and celebrating meaningful moments through photography.

Whether you are a member of the Commons Photographers User Group or not, you are warmly welcome to participate and invite others too. Every image carries a story, and your perspective helps enrich this collective showcase.

Whenever you’re ready, please select your most cherished photograph from 2025 and share it on the designated page.

The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2026, so we hope you’ll join us before then.

We look forward to discovering the moments that made your year memorable and to continuing this wonderful tradition together.

Warm regards, -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 22:36, 4 January 2026 (UTC) (CPUG)
