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 three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2024.
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!

It has been my understanding that we should not use the "depicts" property to describe something belonging to a company, or in the case of an airplane, an airline, since it's just one airplane, not the entire company. We have the "owned by" and "operated by" properties to cover that. Am I mistaken? Acroterion (talk) 12:26, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
I wasn’t able to find anything that suggested ‘depicts’ statements shouldn’t be added to images of individual airplanes, and instead found more than 100 images for British Airways alone (IIRC) and even quite a few for the much smaller US-Bangla Airlines. There doesn’t seem to be a culture of adding ‘owner’ statements (see and ) However, I did find a number of images with ‘operator’ statements in case of BA () but most (or all?) of these statements have been added by you alone. I am not really in favour of using rarely added properties other people are unlikely to look for because that to me is an indication that the community does not see them as the right choice and could potentially limit the usefulness of the data we are adding. Thanks, and I have halted these edits for now, so please do point out if I am mistaken! Redmin (talk) 13:37, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
Honestly, I'm not sure what the community's intentions are. The schema for properties implies a lot that hasn't been developed or much used yet, while there are bots keeping very busy adding questionably useful precise bit counts and such. Thanks for your insight, I think the answer is that nobody really knows, or else nobody has done anything but add the top level material. It would be nice if there was better documentation. Acroterion (talk) 17:08, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
I see that. It's interesting, but it brings up the question of what the preferred format might be; is it an entry in each pigeonhole, or as components of the "depicts" field. I have no idea. Acroterion (talk) 01:46, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
চলছে বাংলার প্রেমে উইকি আলোকচিত্র প্রতিযোগিতা ২০২৬, এখনই অংশ নিন!
সুধী Redmin,
আমরা আনন্দের সাথে জানাচ্ছি যে বাংলার প্রেমে উইকি ২০২৬ শুরু হয়েছে! এ বছরের প্রতিযোগিতার বিষয় বাংলার উৎসব, যেখানে অংশগ্রহণকারীদের বাংলার বিভিন্ন সাংস্কৃতিক উৎসবের ছবি ও ভিডিও ধারণ করে শেয়ার করার জন্য আহ্বান জানানো হচ্ছে।
উইকি লাভস বাংলা হলো উইকিমিডিয়া কমন্সে আয়োজিত একটি আন্তর্জাতিক আলোকচিত্র প্রতিযোগিতা, যার লক্ষ্য বিশ্বব্যাপী বাংলা সংস্কৃতি ও ঐতিহ্য নথিভুক্ত করা। এটি বাংলা সংস্কৃতি ও ঐতিহ্য সংরক্ষণ কর্মসূচীর অংশ হিসেবে প্রতি বছর নির্দিষ্ট প্রতিপাদ্য নিয়ে আয়োজিত হয়।
আপনি কিভাবে অংশ নেবেন, প্রক্রিয়াটি সহজ—আপনার প্রতিটি অবদান বিশ্বের সবচেয়ে বড় মুক্ত জ্ঞানভাণ্ডারকে সমৃদ্ধ করবে:
You have vandalized the content of Wikimedia Commons. Please refrain from making test edits. If you continue making inappropriate edits you may be blocked from editing Commons. You may test freely in the sandbox. Thank you.
Ridiculous. Seeing as you have reverted two of my edits from two different batches, it seems like you have gone through at least a few of my edits. If that assumption is right, it should have occurred to you that most my edits were in fact factual and the ones that were not were mistakes that I should have been informed about so I could fix them myself. And if it is not, it raises the question of why you showed up at my talk page to leave a warning that is meant for newcomers without actually checking other contributions I have made. Either way, this reflects poorly on a former admin and I hope you will remember to assume good faith from the next time.
Regarding the content of the edits themselves, this revert should not have been made; d:Q428858 is indeed depicted in the art work, just like d:Q170495 (the latter of which you left alone so my understanding is that your objection is to the addition of Q428858, not the use of P180 to document such information), I have reverted your revert. As for this revert, thank you for making that; it seems like some category about Aeroflot included that file (in a subcategory of that one). I will make sure not to recurse far when getting file lists to add SDC with my gadget in the future, and will be going through other edits related to Aeroflot to check if any other mistake was made.
Hope this helps. Thanks. Redmin (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Have you read my reply here, @A.Savin? If you do so strongly believe that my actions are incorrect and I am vandalising, then please at least take a moment to explain why. Thanks. Redmin (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
