Hi DiscoA340, I saw some nice photos you took in the V&A Museum – and I'm kind of „desparately“ looking for a photo of one object to add in one of my recent articles –not the most importat thing in the world, but if you happen to be inside the museum at some time of the near future, it would be wonderful if you could take a picture of this stained glass object. It would also be nice to connect these scattered fragments of the Dijon Sainte-Chapelle windows in Wikidata. If you know anybody who is more likely to be photographing in the V&A, I'd be happy to get some hints. Thanks & regards from Cologne, Germany--Elya (talk) 15:10, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
@Elya: (I'm soon about to go on a short vacation. I just wanted to send this reply, but I apologise in advance for late communication, hereafter). I hope all is well! I would be happy to help (any excuse to visit the V&A Museum again!), but unfortunately, I'm currently in the United States (Utah) for the time being, and don't visit London that frequently. I did in fact visit the museum when I visited London in 2024, and am slowly uploading pictures I took from that trip, when I find time to. However, I just quickly checked them, and I don't think I photographed that stained glass artwork. Sorry for not being able to help!
It might be worth requesting a photo of the artwork on a Village Pump page and/or asking for help from a member of a London-based WikiProject. The only person who actively uploads photos to Wikimedia Commons, and whom I believe lives near London, is @No Swan So Fine (if they are up to the task and are available to help, of course).
Am I reading this right: You are wanting to better organise photos of the Dijon Sainte-Chapelle windows which are already in Wikidata? If so, @14GTR might be able to help, as I remember they did a big project categorising V&A Museum photos, by room, a while back.
Hope this helps you and your projects; have a nice day! DiscoA340 (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
It will be at least two weeks before I can next visit the V&A but will try to photograph that panel then. I'll check the photos I have not uploaded to Commons in case I might already have done so. I am not sure about Wikidata question.Would it be a case of adding images, with different Q numbers, to a shared page?14GTR (talk) 14:46, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
thanks @14GTR! For the moment I haven't checked the Q-items beyond my local Schnütgen museum, but I'll take care for some modeling on Wikidata for all of them. I think there should/could be an item for stained glass windows from Sainte-Chapelle and wie could work with "part of" for the fragments. Looking forward to your next visit of V&A;-) Elya (talk) 19:57, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
@Elya: (I'm back from my short vacation now). Keeping this discussion on this page is perfectly fine with me. I hope all is going well with your projects. DiscoA340 (talk) 03:41, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
No problem. I'll be in London next weekend for a few days and will let you know how I get on shortly afterwards.14GTR (talk) 21:25, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
Please see,
Category:Altar cross of about 1150 to 1200, V&A South Kensington
you are my hero –thank you very much! I'll take care of the Wikidata items the next days. Elya (talk) 19:55, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!
Dear Wikimedian,
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.
Announcing the Winners of 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!
