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.
This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated page should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much!
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
Hello. I just stumbled across Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie and I wanted to let you know that they're at it again... I'm not handy with filing deletion requests on the commons that aren't a speedy, figured you might be able to deal with this. MediaKyle (talk) 19:18, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
@MediaKyle: could you take a look at the answers below and help or at least tell me what you think? Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 17:26, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
File deletion
Hello, you know a lot more about uploading photos onto here than I do. All the photos I've uploaded were taken by myself. If I messed up when I uploaded them, please let me know how I can fix that. I uploaded all those images in good faith and because most of them are of more niche, less photographed things/people. Let me know how to right my wrong. Thank you. Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie (talk) 22:28, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
@Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie: thank you for your answer. Could you upload the original and full size photos? At least for one of them; It would help a lot and prove what you say. Right now, we have very small and altered files which make them look like they were randomly taken from the Internet. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 07:22, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
@VIGNERON This is the unedited, uncut version of the photo I used for Keith White (politician)'s page on Wikipedia; hope this helps. Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie (talk) 15:00, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
Thanks Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie it's a good step but this file appears to be edited, the EXIF says it comes from Picasa. do you have the true original file? Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 15:12, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
@VIGNERON100px This is effectively the same photo I took except at a different angle, I'm unsure as to why it says the previous one said it was edited. Hopefully this one will yield different results. Let me know if there's an issues, thank you. Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie (talk) 17:19, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
@Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie: strange, there is a same problem in the EXIF, do you store your image on Picasa/Google Photos? could you take a file directly from your device? Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 15:41, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
Hello, VIGNERON!
I'm sorry that I didn't respond quickly; I'm in the process of moving houses! I store my photos in my iPhones camera roll, send them via email to my Chromebook, download/screenshot the photos, then upload them to Wikimedia. If they're screenshotted they appear as a ".png". If they're downloaded, they appear as a ".jpg". Thank you.
Sorry for a late reply jumping in on this, @Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie, I see your image upload process is a bit indirect. I would recommend you upload your photos to a free Flickr account and then transfer/upload to Commons from there. You can directly upload the photos from your iPhone using the app instead of email/screenshot and lose all the metadata, which seems to be an issue. You can add a CC0 license to the photos as well. Once on Commons, you can crop out the individual photos using the Croptool. Just a suggestion, might work better in your case? PascalHD (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
@VIGNERON, This is the photo I used for the Little Colinet Island page. This time, however, I emailed it to my Chromebook and downloaded it instead of screenshottin. Check it out to see if it looks good! Thank you. Rt. Hon. Chase W. Marrie (talk) 20:51, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

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.

Demande de renommage
Bonjour Vigneron. Je constate un problème avec 3 fichiers commons dont le nom comporte la mention "de La Tour et Taxis":
A/ File:Heures de la Tour et Taxis - Musée Condé Ms86.jpg,
B/ File:Chantilly, Bibliothèque du château, 86 (1178), f. 14v (Armoiries de François de La Tour et Taxis).jpg présent dans la Category:Franz_von_Taxis mais que je parviens pas à ouvrir (sais pas pourquoi) et
C/ File:Chantilly, Bibliothèque du château, 86 (1178), f. 14v (Armoiries de François de La Tour et Taxis) (cropped).jpg (= le 2e recadré)
Le problème réside dans le titre car "François de La Tour et Taxis" N'EXISTE PAS, les familles Tassi/Taxis et La Tour n'étant pas encore apparentées à l'époque de François.
Si tu consultes le lien donné dans la référence de la description, tu arriveras sur qui date l’œuvre de 1585 et décrit le folio 14 comme les armoiries de François (sans "tour") et le folio 15 comme les armoiries de Maximilien, l'archiduc devenu empereur qui a nommé François Maitre des postes.
Pourrais-tu renommer STP? (il n'y a pas plus chiant, passe-moi le terme, que de faire des recherches sur base de noms erronés, de se planter, de recommencer, de s'interroger, de chercher des sources qui, pour cette famille, relèvent souvent du n'importe quoi par copiers-collers d'informations fausses...).
Tu auras droit à ma reconnaissance éternelle! Égoïté (talk) 10:14, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
@Égoïté: c'est fait (par contre, tu noteras que la source que tu indiques dis elle-même par deux fois "Tour et Taxis"), j'ai corrigé les titres, je te laisse corriger les détails éventuels (descriptions, légendes, liens, etc.). Pour la prochaine fois, tu peux aussi utiliser le modèle {{Rename}}, ce sera encore le plus simple et plus rapide. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 13:35, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Ok et merci! Oui c'est un vrai problème, à mon point de vue, cette façon de dénommer la lignée... J'avoue que je ne maitrise pas du tout la technique sur commons mais je vais garder le modèle dans une note perso. Égoïté (talk) 15:00, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Traduction?
Re-bonjour Vigneron. Oui, j'exagère... J'ai trouvé File:Postillion sucht den Winterkönig8.5-19.jpg qui, par sa datation, me semble fort intéressant. Problème: je suis incapable de lire le texte pour "reconstituer" la légende, les indications correspondant aux numéros dans le dessin. Pourrais-tu m'aider STP? (si tu dis non, je comprendrai parfaitement!) Bisous, Égoïté (talk) 17:08, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
Ce cas est très facile vu la transcription existe déjà sur Wikisource: s:de:Abgesandter Postbott (le lien étant déjà présent dans la page du fichier d'ailleurs). Je te laisse le regarder (notamment les notes) et le mettre dans un traducteur en ligne.
Décidément je vieillis... Merci et bonne nuit! Égoïté (talk) 20:11, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

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!
