Dear Commander-pirx,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth 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 (2015) 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.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Du hast noch bis zum 15. Oktober die Gelegenheit, Wettbewerbsbeiträge anderer Fotografen im Rahmen der Vorjury zu sichten und zu bewerten. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du dich daran beteiligst und mithilfst, die besten Bilder des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs auszuwählen. Gern kannst Du auch deine und andere Bilder in Wikipedia einbinden.
Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Beiträge. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du auch in Zukunft die Wikipedia bebilderst! Solltest du Fragen haben, so kannst du dich gerne an infowikilovesmonuments.de wenden.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019
Hallo Commander-pirx,
bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2019 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!
Es sind viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.
Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die aber in Zukunft unbedingt benötigt wird, dann freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.
Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Mitte September 2019 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.
Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.
Viel Spaß und Erfolg bei größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again!
Hi
You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in Ireland. We'd be delighted if you would enter again this year, and continue to build on the image archive of Ireland's built heritage.
Thanks again for your help and enthusiasm! Smirkybec (talk) 19:27, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Einfach mal ein Dankeschön
Hallo Commander-pirx! Weil ich gerade mal wieder über eine hübsche Karte von Dir gestolpert bin, habe ich erst jetzt gesehen, wie viel Du schon in der Richtung gemacht hast. Also dafür möchte ich Dir ein großes Dankeschön hinterlassen! Commons und Karten sind für Gelegenheitsuser auf Commons nicht immer ganz einfach. Ich bin meist schon froh, wenn ich die passenden Strukturen finde, bei denen die Karten einsortiert sind. Z.B. habe ich heute erst die Ecke mit den Messtischblättern gefunden, wobei ich mich frage wie die nun wieder mit den OLD-Maps von diversen Regionen verbunden werden. Naja es wird wohl noch wachsen. Herzliche Grüße --Thombansen (talk) 11:20, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

DEM-Karten
Ich habe gesehen, das Du als Burgenfachmann auch entsprechende DEM-Karten erstellst und hier hochlädst. Ich selber bin technisch nicht so versiert und wollte daher nachfragen, ob Du einige weitere Bilder von Burganlagen aus dem hess./thür. Grenzbereich des Werra-Meißner-Kreises erstellen und hochladen könntest. Der Brandwall auf dem Hohestein stand ganz oben auf meiner Liste, den hattest Du in der Zwischenzeit ja bereits hochgeladen. Mit Grüßen 79.214er (talk) 10:02, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
79.214er: Einfach Liste reinstellen und ich arbeite es ab. Habe aber nur hess und bayerische Reliefdaten. Hast Du einen Link zu Thüringen und sind die lizenzkonform? MfG Commander-pirx (talk) 21:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
ps.: Ich bin mitnichten Fachmann. Ist (nur) ein Hobby (und interessant). mfg --Commander-pirx (talk) 06:41, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Meine Mitarbeit beschränkt sich hier auch nur auf Hobby-Themen, berufliches lasse eigentlich komplett weg (will in meiner Freizeit nicht auch noch arbeiten): Zur Thüringer Releliefkarte habe ich folgenden Link (links oben anklicken: Themen/Kartenebenen/Basisdaten/Geländemodell aussuchen), zu entsprechenden Lizenzfragen kann ich aber nicht viel sagen. Hier wäre meine Liste aus dem hess. Windatlas (Werra-Meißner-Kreis und etwas grenzüberschreitend) von Nord nach Süd:
Burg Friedland, Ortslage Friedland/Nieders., Grabenanlage
(comment: ist Halsgraben, verm. Burgstall Höhenburg auf dem Liebenberg, sw davon mgl weitere kl Anlage im Werrakniebereich; in Arbeit)
Burg Hanstein, S Bornhagen, (in Arbeit)
Alte Burg, SÖ Bornhagen Westhang der Junkerkuppe, quadratische Grabenanlage mit abzweigenden Graben nach Nordosten
(in Arbeit, Graben verm. jünger, schneidet den äußeren Burgwall, Lit? Bilder: [Commons-Cat], vermessen, Nordsporn der Junkerkuppe)
Burgruine Schnepfenberg/Burg Bilstein, W Albungen Höllental, 2 oder 3? kleine Anlagen
Burg Fürstenstein, SÖ Albungen, Halsgraben?
(Burgruine Greifenstein (Eichsfeld), Ö Kella, Ringgraben = nur am Blattrand)
Burg Keudelstein (kein offizieller. Name), SÖ Döringsdorf Keudelskuppe, kl. quadr. Grabenanlage+Halsgraben
Boyneburg, S Datterode, 2 Grabenanlagen auf dem kleinen Plateau
(in Arbeit) (sind verm. MA-liche Bauten/Burgen, eine eine Doppelringanlage, dazu das gesamte Plateau eine vorzeitliche Ringwallanlage)
(Kolonnenweg der Grenze, N Lindewerra, Kolonnenweg in Serpentinenform mit Geländestruktur sieht man sonst nicht so oft an der ehem. Grenze)
Hoffentlich ist die Liste nicht zu lang, es steckt ja sicherlich einiges an Arbeit dran. Die eingeklammerten Anlagen nur wenn noch ausreichen Lust. MfG 79.214er (talk) 08:51, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:17. Stammtisch WP-Unterfranken 003.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

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.

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!
