Hmm, noinko on tapana ajatella? Kai patsaan selkäpuolikin nauttii ihan yhtäläisiä tekijänoikeuksia, vai miten on? --Geohakkeri (talk) 08:52, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Mistäs tuo lainaus on? —kallerna (talk) 12:55, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Jaa, taitaa olla ajatusvirhe. Pointtina että kyseessä laaja kuva josta verrattain pieni osa tekijänoikeuksien alla. —kallerna (talk) 13:04, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Sukunimien luokittelu ala- ja pääluokassa
Hei kallerna. Huomasin, että luokkaan Finnish-language surnames kuuluvat sukunimiluokat olivat myös pääluokassa Surnames. Poistin suomenkielisistä sukunimistä pääluokkia (esimerkki, käytäntö overcat). En poistanut piilotettua luokkaa Surnames (flat list), jonka tarpeellisuudesta on keskusteltu. Varmistan vielä ennen jatkamista, että olenko toiminut oikein poistaessani pääluokan? raid5 16:06, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
Joo, mielestäni olet toiminut aivan oikein. Pientä työmaata tossa näyttäisi kyllä olevan kun pääluokassa 219 268 luokkaa... —kallerna (talk) 19:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
Kiitos vastauksesta. Luokkamuutoksissa on helppo tehdä virheitä, yritän olla huolellinen. raid5 20:22, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
En ole samaa mieltä luokituksesta (keskustelu Flat lists), voi olla että minulla ei ole riittävästi tietoa asiasta. Joka tapauksessa lopetin luokkien poistamisen. Luulisi botilla voivan lisätä flat-luokkia luokan Surnames by language alaluokkiin (tai mitä päätetäänkin). raid5 11:26, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Tuskin tuosta koskaan tulee mitään "päätöstä" ellei joku vaan aja botilla tai käsin kaikkia kuntoon. IMO olit oikeilla jäljillä. —kallerna (talk) 12:58, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Muokkaajia häiritsevät erilaiset asiat. Sopeudun ajan kanssa vastakkaisiin tapoihin toimia, mutta ”tehdään milloin mitenkin” on rasittavaa. Lisään tai poistan luokkia konsensuksen mukaan, kuitenkaan päättämättömyys tai useampi toimintatapa ei mielestäni ole järkevää (keskustelu Actors of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit). Ei tämä niin vakavaa ole. Puuhastelua riittää muuallakin. raid5 14:26, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Kuvia on paljon ja monet luokitukset ovat niin retuperällä, että Commonsissa on tavallaan villi länsi - voimakkaampi "muokkaa rohkeasti" kuin esim. Wikipedian puolella. Osaltaan se antaa vapaat kädet, mutta johtaa myös käytäntöjen puuttumiseen. —kallerna (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Commonsissa virheistäni on huomauteltu vähemmän, siinä mielessä on ollut rauhallista muokata. Luokittelua olisi mukava hahmottaa paremmin, se vaatisi kuitenkin keskusteluiden ja toiminnan seuraamista vuosien ajan. (Surnames by language: Kävin muokkaamani luokat läpi ja lisäsin flat list -luokkia. Sitten lopuksi poistin luokasta Flemish-language surnames luokan Surnames. Jos jaksan, niin teen saman jäljelle jääneille luokille E–G → German-language surnames. Ilmeisesti tein muokkaukset kuten mainitsemassani keskustelussa päätettiin).raid5 18:58, 6 January 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.
Request to Use Your Photo of the Pelješac Bridge in a Book
Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
I am currently preparing a book and I would like to use your photograph of the Pelješac Bridge. The book may be published commercially.
Although your image is available under a Creative Commons license, I would like to kindly ask for your explicit permission to use it in my publication. I would also appreciate it if you could confirm the preferred format for attribution.
If possible, I would also like to ask whether you would allow minor adjustments such as cropping or layout adaptation for print.
Thank you very much for your time and for your excellent work.
Best regards,
An Ruiheng Pavoooo (talk) 18:19, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi Kallerna, in photo File:Trento aerial view.jpg is not town Trento and the Adige valley (that valley is more left ... West), do you want to rename your photo to a new title, something like File:Latemar, Val di Fiemme - Fleimstal, Predazzo, Moena and the Fassa Valley, Dolomites aerial view. (Rosengarten group, Fanes and the main chain of the Alps are in background) but Predazzo is in foreground, LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 18:54, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
Thanks! I will rename the image. —kallerna (talk) 02:52, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
