Septembrie 2020: A început Wiki Loves Monuments în România!
Deși trecem prin momente dificile în aceste vremuri imprevizibile generate de pandemia de COVID-19, competiția Wiki Loves Monuments are loc și anul acesta, implicit și în România.
Am fi încântați dacă ați participa și în acest an la documentarea fotografică a patrimoniului nostru cultural construit.
Întrucât o carantină nu este programată în România, puteți să ieșiți în continuare să faceți fotografii - luând toate măsurile de siguranță recomandate de autoritățile locale de sănătate.
Dacă preferați să evitați ieșirile, cu siguranță aveți fotografii cu monumente înregistrate pe calculator din ultima călătorie!
Aceasta este o oportunitate excelentă de a le oferi o a doua viață prin concursului Wiki Loves Monuments. Pe lângă faptul că vor fi vizibile pentru toată lumea, fotografiile
dumneavoastră ar putea reprezenta România în competiția internațională.
De asemenea ele pot apărea în diverse articole la Wikipedia și pot contribui la conservarea online a patrimoniului cultural și istoric al României.
Pentru detalii și reguli de participare, puteți găsi mai multe informații pe pagina Wiki Loves Monuments România.
Dacă aveți fotografii și din alte țări, puteți verifica aici țările participante.
Mulțumim și nu uitați, concursul se desfășoară până pe 30 septembrie!
Mult succes vă dorim și să vă bucurați, în condiții de siguranță, de patrimoniul care vă înconjoară!

Hello @Paloi Sciurala, I'm currently organizing the first-ever Oceanic Month on the German-language Wikipedia. I'd like to use your templates and for the certificates of participation and would like to ask if you could also make a WOM Barnstar Silver available on Wikimedia Commons; that would greatly reduce the workload. Thank you for your efforts and time. Sincerely, Fritzober (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello Paloi Sciurala, thank you so much for your quick and kind support. It's still a while until December, but it's definitely better to take care of everything early! Take care! Greetings from Fritzober (talk) 19:28, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!
Dear Wikimedian,
You are receiving this message because we noticed that you previously voted in the Picture of the Year contest. 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 were 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.
In this second and final round, you may vote for a maximum of five images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2025.
Announcing the Winners of Picture of the Year 2025!
Hi everyone,
Wikimedia Commons is pleased to finally announce the winners of this year's Picture of the Year 2025 contest! We had some truly incredible finalists to choose from, but the community has spoken.
Here are your top three winning images:
First place: The aftermath of an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on October 9, 2023, leaving widespread destruction in the Rimal area. Attribution: WAFA (Q2915969) / CC-BY-SA 3.0
Second place: Baby cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) sleeping at Cape cross, Namibia. Attribution: Giles Laurent / CC-BY-SA 4.0
Third place: A gigantic jet photographed from the International Space Station by astronaut Nichole Ayers. Attribution: public domain
You can view the full results and see where all your favorite images placed here: Full 2025 Results
I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
