Can we just start placing speedy delete whenever people try to claim bodycams as being the result of "automated system without human input"? Having this discussion over and over again isn't getting anywhere Trade (talk) 15:06, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

@Trade Be careful of canvassing. Let's wait for the outcome of the VPC Gbawden (talk) 06:43, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
I was just asking for advice as to whether or not i would be justified in nominating such files for speedy deletion from now on Trade (talk) 18:00, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Album cover for Casi Justicia Social II

Hi Gbawden, Hope you're having a great day, See. I have been informed that you've removed one of my published Wikimedia image, The cover art for album Casi Justicia Social II. I have no problem with this, as i now realize I have not used the correct license and not provided the proper use rationale template for this file: I wanted to know if it was possible that i could re upload the file with the proper licensing and information so i could back my article. Thank you. Milanesa Martin (talk) 16:40, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Undeletion request...

Hi,

I've prepared an article about Verena Kaspar-Eisert and have it in draft mode. I already had this picture in the draft https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Verena_Kaspar-Eisert,_director_of_the_Heidi_Horten_Collection,_November_2025.jpg but it was deleted meanwhile. If I would publish the article I'd like to incorporate the image as well. Is it possible to undelete the file?

Thanks; Sprach_s Sprach s (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

@Sprach s You would need to get permission from the photographer - Commons cannot accept photos unless they are freely licensed Gbawden (talk) 06:35, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Reupload?

Hello Gbawden, I just nominated this image for deletion (no permission by copyright holder anywhere in sight), not realizing there had been a previous deletion discussion. Could you please check if this is a reupload of the previous image, and how to move on there now? Thanks, --~2026-19181-86 (talk) 16:25, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

What review is needed?

Good day. I do not understand what sort of review is needed on for example File:US Dept Agriculture FGIS Port of New Orleans, February 2023 - 13.jpg and a number of similar images you moved to "review needed" category. Could you please be specific about what the problem is and what should be done? Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 23:08, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Infrogmation. I am working through the USDA images to check cat and noticed that the USDA cat was overcrowded (and contained files similar to the check needed cat) so I moved some files into a single location to work through. The file you mentioned shouldn't have been in the USDA cat as it already has a number of categories. Hope this makes sense Gbawden (talk) 07:01, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!

2024 Picture of the Year:Mundari man polishing the horns of one of his Watusi cows using a mixture of cow urine and ash as a ritualistic and protective practice in a temporary cattle camp in Terekeka, South Sudan.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth 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 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 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 the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
