Just a FYI...
You seems to travel a lot, and takes a lot pictures of animals. Perhaps you heard of the kenyan elephant named Craig? He passed away recently, says the news . Just FYI (perhaps you have met him)... // Zquid (talk) 12:32, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for this information. I had never heard of this elephant and have never been to Kenya so I only learned about it now with your link. These tusks were impressive, may Craig rest in peace -- Giles Laurent (talk) 15:00, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 has started, Join us!
Hello Giles Laurent,
The world’s traditions are disappearing faster than we can document them, but you can help change that.
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team, we are reaching out to invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of our global campaign.
Share Your Cultural Heritage with the World
Wiki Loves Folklore is an international media contest dedicated to documenting the "intangible" beauty of our cultures. Whether it’s the vibrant colours of a folk festival, the rhythm of a traditional dance, the secrets of a family recipe, or the legends of your hometown, your media helps preserve these legacies for generations to come.
How You Can Contribute Participating is simple, and every upload contributes to the world's largest free knowledge repository:
- Capture: Take photos, record videos, or capture audio of folk activities, music, mythology, or traditional wear.
- Upload: Share your files on Wikimedia Commons between 1 February 2026 and 31 March 2026.
- Win: Beyond the satisfaction of preservation, there are international prizes for the most impactful contributions.
Ready to get started? Click here to upload your media now or visit the Main Project Page for full rules and category details.
Your perspective is a vital piece of the global cultural puzzle. We can't wait to see the folklore you bring to life.
Warm regards,
#WeTogether
Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!
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.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Thank you...
...for everything you've done to make POTY run smoothly the last few years. You've been so helpful at making sure we stay on track, and you've caught a number of problems that I probably wouldn't have. By the way, I've been taking a look at your FPs this year and they're just stunning--incredible work as always. Ingenuity (talk) 15:36, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Many thanks for this very heartwarming and friendly message, much appreciated! Always happy to help keep things running! :)
- Thank you also for the pictures, I tried to nominate as many of my best photos as possible for this POTY edition (I'm not sure I can have the same level of images for the next POTYs)
- And also many thanks to you because POTY would probably be dead if you had not saved it for POTY 2023, 2024 and 2025! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
