Au nom de l'équipe d'organisation de Wiki Science Competition 2023 en France, je tenais à vous remercier de votre participation. En 6 semaines, 838 photos ont été partagées, de 51 personnes, dont beaucoup de nouveaux contributeurs (57% des comptes créés spécialement pour le concours). En nombre de photo, cela place la France à la 2e place, juste derrière la Macédoine. C'est assez encourageant pour un concours qui n'est habituellement pas organisé en France.
Toutes les photos de l'édition française sont regroupées dans cette catégorie. Et les lauréats sont indiqués sur cette page.
L'équipe d'organisation française en a terminé pour cette édition 2023, le jury international va prendre le relais. Nous vous tiendrons informé s'il y a une édition française en 2024.
on est en train de faire une vidéo de « découverte » et j’aimerais bien utiliser ta campagne comme exemple. Mais j’ai besoin des captions... ce serait ok pour toi? Anthere (talk) 12:48, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Bonjour@Anthere, pas de soucis, entièrement d'accord.
Merci beaucoup, j'ai pensé à vous écrire. J'ai des soucis avec la campagne, je ne vois pas des images de certaines catégories dans la campagne. Dadrik (talk) 12:52, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
peux tu me mettre un screenshot (sur what’s app, or telegram ou par email) des paramètres de set-up de la campagne? Pour voir les catégories choisies? Anthere (talk) 12:01, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
D'accord, je le fais par Télégram. Dadrik (talk) 12:15, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Femua 16. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel! talk 20:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Well noted, thank you for your advice, I will apply it soon in such a situation. Dadrik (talk) 20:18, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
We are happy to share with you winning images for this year's edition. This year saw over 41,038 images from 1921 uploaders represented on Commons in over 140 countries. Kindly see images here.
Our profound gratitude to all the people who participated and organized local contests and photo walks for this project.
We hope to have you contribute to the campaign next year.
EKLÔ CAN has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion 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. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.
In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!
Hello! I created this category as part of the project called “EKLÔ CAN”. The CAN is the African Cup of Nations “Eklô” is a theme which means “let’s love” in Baoulé, from the verb Love conjugated in the first person plural. the translation gives “Let’s love the CAN” or “Let’s love the African Cup of Nations”. It is therefore the name of a project carried out at the beginning of the year to promote the African Cup of Nations. I would like to point out that I was not responsible for this project specifically, I was asked to create the category. I actually had my category:WikiCan Tour project in San-Pedro. I admit that I had to at least lowercase the letters. Open to any recommendations for improving the category and for my future contributions in category creation. I fully approve of this approach.

Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open.

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.
