Category:Companies based in Pennsylvania

You added Category:Companies based in Pennsylvania to Category:Restaurants in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure that is a good fit, because there are photos in the category of Category:Restaurants in Pennsylvania that are not really based in Pennsylvania like File:Quiznos Sub franchise Pittsburgh Craig 02.JPG, File:Howard Johnsons restaurant 1999 PA entrance.jpg. Not all restaurants in a state are going to be companies based in that state. --Mjrmtg (talk) 03:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

The same applies to adding to Category:Companies based in Oklahoma to Category:Gas stations in Oklahoma, not all gas stations in Oklahoma are companies based in Oklahoma. I'm sure Shell gas, Conoco gas, etc are not based in Oklahoma. --Mjrmtg (talk) 03:18, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. Thanks for catching that! --Funandtrvl (talk) 17:22, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Indexing in subcategories

Hello. Thank you in advnce for stopping this sort of incorrect modifications - I've noticed its recurrence now across a vast range of similar categories. I think you want to know that subcategories that are in concern with the nature of the file rather than aspects or behavior of the topic itself (such as "xxx in art" or "Videos of xxx") are indexed together as a thematic sort-group at the top while the plain alphabetical array is reserved for subcategories about characters of the topic itself ("Nature of xxx", "Politics of xxx"...). Regards. Orrlingtalk 12:16, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. Funandtrvl (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2013 (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.
