File:Beaver fountain in Switzerland.jpg

Thank you for identifying the location of the fountain, and the animal depicted. I didn't think of marmots, but it makes more sense in retrospect, because they live there in the Alps and have something of a cultic status. I've edited the description of the photo, and I might request a renaming of the file too. b_jonas 17:10, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2017 - Danke, und wie geht es weiter?

Hallo Maimaid,

vielen Dank für Deine Teilnahme am Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland. Damit hast Du ein Stück Natur in Deiner Region dokumentiert und Wikipedia geholfen, andere darüber zu informieren.

Dieses Jahr wurden 24.000 Fotos eingereicht, im vorigen Jahr waren es noch 18.000. Bei der Teilnehmerzahl (1063) wurde der Rekord vom Vorjahr nur knapp verpasst.

Um die große Zahl von Bildern angemessen zu bewältigen, suchen wir weitere Helfer für die Vorjury, zum Kategorisieren oder zum Einfügen der Bilder in die Artikel und Listen der Wikipedia.

Eine Jury wird Anfang Juli auf einer Sitzung in Fulda die besten Bilder auswählen. Nach dem Zeitplan sollen die Top100 am 15. Juli 2017 veröffentlicht werden. Kurz danach werden die Gewinner benachrichtigt.

Wir möchten auf Wiki Loves Earth Biosphere Reserves hinweisen. Bei diesem Wettbewerb können bis Ende Juni Bilder von Biosphärenreservaten aus aller Welt eingereicht werden. Selbstverständlich darf man das ganze Jahr über Bilder zu beliebigen Themen bei Wikimedia Commons hochladen, nicht nur wenn ein Wettbewerb läuft...

Freundliche Grüße.

Das Organisationsteam freut sich über mehr als 20.000 Bilder von deutschen Bau- und Kulturdenkmalen, die in diesem Jahr hochgeladen wurden, und möchte sich ganz herzlich bei Dir für deinen Beitrag zum weltweit größten, von Ehrenamtlichen organisierten, Fotowettbewerb bedanken!

Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du dich daran beteiligst und mithilfst, die besten Bilder des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs auszuwählen. Gern kannst Du auch deine und andere Bilder in Wikipedia einbinden.

Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Beiträge. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du auch in Zukunft die Wikipedia bebilderst! Solltest du Fragen haben, so kannst du dich gerne an info@wikilovesmonuments.de wenden.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Didym (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2018

Hallo Maimaid,

vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2018 können beim Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland wieder Landschafts- und Naturfotos eingereicht werden. Sie sollen in Schutzgebieten aufgenommen worden sein. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du auch dieses Jahr mitmachst.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen, als Einstiegsseite kann diese Karte dienen.

Als ehemaliger Teilnehmer kannst Du bis Ende April bei der Wahl der Jury abstimmen.

Da viele tausend Bilder zu bewerten sind, wird die sogenannte Vorjury ab Anfang Mai eine Vorauswahl der eingereichten Bilder übernehmen. Deine Beteiligung daran ist ausdrücklich erwünscht. Bei Interesse trage Dich bitte unter WLE-Vorjury ein, das Passwort kommt dann per E-Mail.

Wir wünschen viel Freude beim Fotografieren,

@Bwag: Nochmals danke, dass Du mich auf diesen Fehler hingewiesen hast!

Puuh, gut, dass ich das noch nicht im Artikel falsch veröffentlicht hatte! Leider kann ich Dein Foto nun doch nicht verwenden... Liebe Grüße --Maimaid (talk) 11:40, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Anzeige zur Eröffnung des Fotogeschäfts von Adolf Buck in Schaan, Liechtenstein (1932).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{self|cc-zero}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019


Hallo Maimaid,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2019 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Es sind viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die aber in Zukunft unbedingt benötigt wird, dann freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Mitte September 2019 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg bei größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Lizenzverletzung

Bitte pass nach der Anlage eines Derivats die Urheberangaben gemäß der Lizenzbedingungen an. Und bitte lege Derivate nicht in Verzeichnissen von anderen Usern ab, auch wenn es die des Urhebers des ursprünglichen Bilds ab. Als Urheber kann ich mich für die Derivate keine Verantwortung übernehmen. Siehe File:Hamburg,_Denkmal_-Madonna_der_Seefahrt-_--_2016_--_3070_(cropped).jpg. Danke. --XRay 💬 13:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@XRay: Oh je, das war mir nicht bewusst...ich habe einfach blauäugig, wie ich es oft mache, einen Ausschnitt erstellen wollen, der mir zur Illutration eines Artikels geeignet erschien. Ich habe auch „keine Derivate in Verzeichnissen anderer User abgelegt“, jedenfalls nicht bewusst, weiß auch gar nicht, wie das geht und warum ich das machen sollte. Bitte verzeih meinen Fehler - ich wollte keine Probleme verursachen und niemanden verärgern! Wie kann ich das wieder in Ordnung bringen? Du kannst den Crop gerne löschen lassen, das ist glaube ich das Einfachste? Viele Grüße Maimaid (talk) 13:34, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Ich habe bereits alles mit Hilfe meiner eigenen Templates angepasst. Derivate sind nach der Lizenz erlaubt, aber das Crop-Tool macht nur einen Teil der Arbeit. Im Nachgang musst du das {{Information}}-Template lizenzgerecht füllen und ggf. Kategorien und andere Texte entfernen. Hier waren u. a. meine User-Kategorien stehen geblieben und damit das Bild bei mir in diversen Kategorien abgelegt. Die Derivate sind grundsätzlich in der Verantwortung der Person, die das Derivat anlegt. Ich distanziere mich ausdrücklich davon, da ja nicht Dritte Bilder in meinem Namen hochladen dürfen. Und die Lizenz verlangt, dass der ursprüngliche Urheber genauso wie die Person, die das Derivat anzugeben sind. --XRay 💬 13:55, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
@XRay: Herzlichen Dank für deine Hilfe - nächstes Mal werde ich diese Dinge beachten! Verstehe ich deine Antwort richtig, dass ich nun nichts mehr machen muss und dass ich den Ausschnitt nun verwenden darf? Maimaid (talk) 14:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Das hast du richtig verstanden. Das Crop-Tool ist aus meiner Sicht ein Ärgernis, weil die Lizenzbedingungen nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt werden ... und kaum jemand an die Nacharbeiten denkt. So mache ich es bei ein paar Derivaten selbst. --XRay 💬 14:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Nochmals danke! Falls Du mal zu einer Wikipedia-Live-Veranstaltung kommst (WikiCon oder GLAM, etc.), lade ich dich auf ein Gläschen was auch immer ein! Maimaid (talk) 15:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 - Deutschland

Hallo Maimaid,

Motivideen von der WikiCon 2024

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Februar bis zum 31. März 2025 findet zum zweiten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Folklore (kurz: WLF) in Deutschland statt. Mögliche Motive sind gelebte Traditionen wie Feste, Aufführungen, Tänze, Musiktradition, Brauchtum, Spiele, Küche, Tracht, Märchen und Sagen. Viele dieser Kulturgüter sind als Immaterielles Kulturerbe gemäß der UNESCO-Konvention anerkannt. Du hast vergangenes Jahr teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Der englische Begriff Folklore umfasst vieles, was man im Deutschen unter Folklore versteht, aber er geht noch weiter. Schau nach gelebten Traditionen und Bräuchen in deiner Nähe.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Festen sind es Handwerkstraditionen oder Gerichte und Getränke, die auf Fotos von dir warten. Als Orientierung helfen das Bundesweite Verzeichnis des immateriellen Kulturerbes oder Landeslisten wie das Inventar des immateriellen Kulturerbes von Nordrhein-Westfalen oder das Landesverzeichnis Immaterielles Kulturerbe Thüringen. Es fehlen unter anderem Bilder vom Barther Kinderfest, Taubenmarkt in Dermbach, Grasedanz im Harz, Bergsteigen in Sachsen, der Fertigung von Flachglas im Mundblasverfahren, der Fastnacht an der Saar und vom Viezen oder vom Tanz Zwiefacher.

Unter Events haben wir eine kleine Übersicht mit Veranstaltungen in Deutschland, die zum Immateriellen Kulturerbe gehören. Vielleicht findest du dort auch Motive für das nächste Jahr.

Wir vergeben in diesem Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Videos und Audiodateien, da sich viele Traditionen gut im Video oder per Tonaufnahme darstellen lassen.

Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Dort sind die nationalen Listen des immateriellen Kulturerbes aufgeführt.

Damit es ab 1. Februar mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Februar bis Ende April 2025 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende Mai tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Folklore Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2025 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 19:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Category:Grabdenkmal_Walter_Friedel_Leipzig

Category discussion warning

Grabdenkmal Walter Friedel Leipzig 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!


NearEMPTiness (talk) 16:32, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

@NearEMPTiness: Danke für die Benachrichtigung. Diese Kategorie war von mir gedacht als Service für einen freundlichen anderen Benutzer, der mit schon letztes Jahr in Leipzig das Grabdenkmal fotografieren wollte (ein Werk des Bildhauers Eugen Frey, über den ich schrieb - Du erinnerst Dich). Die Kategorie hier hatte ich als kleine Arbeitserleichterung für den Fotografen angelegt. Dass es so lange dauern würde, konnte ich nicht absehen. Viele Grüße Maimaid (talk) 16:54, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
In that case, it does not need to be deleted, indeed. Please keep. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:37, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 - Deutschland

Hallo Maimaid,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Februar bis zum 31. März 2026 findet zum dritten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Folklore (kurz: WLF) in Deutschland statt. Mögliche Motive sind gelebte Traditionen wie Feste, Aufführungen, Tänze, Musiktradition, Brauchtum, Spiele, Küche, Tracht, Märchen und Sagen. Viele dieser Kulturgüter sind als Immaterielles Kulturerbe gemäß der UNESCO-Konvention anerkannt. Du hast in den vergangenen Jahren teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Bei den drei Siegerbildern sind nur grandiose Motive aus Bayern dabei. Du kannst mit deinen Fotos helfen, Bayern vom Wiki-Loves-Folklore-Thron zu stoßen, du kannst aber auch dafür sorgen, dass Bayern den Titel erneut verteidigt.

Der englische Begriff Folklore umfasst vieles, was man im Deutschen unter Folklore versteht, aber er geht noch weiter. Schau nach gelebten Traditionen und Bräuchen in deiner Nähe.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Festen sind es Handwerkstraditionen oder Gerichte und Getränke, die auf Fotos von dir warten. Als Orientierung helfen das Bundesweite Verzeichnis des immateriellen Kulturerbes oder Landeslisten wie das Landesverzeichnis des Immateriellen Kulturerbes in Sachsen-Anhalt oder das Verzeichnis des Immateriellen Kulturerbes im Saarland. Es fehlen unter anderem Bilder vom Barther Kinderfest, Kulturformen der Nutzung bäuerlicher Gemeinschaftswälder im Steigerwald, Marktredwitzer Krippenkultur, Bad Dürrenberger Brunnenfest oder von der Fastnacht an der Saar.

Wir vergeben auch in diesem Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Videos und Audiodateien, da sich viele Traditionen gut im Video oder per Tonaufnahme darstellen lassen. Wir empfehlen, Videos kurz zu halten und sinnvoll zu schneiden.

Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Dort sind die nationalen Listen des immateriellen Kulturerbes aufgeführt.

Damit es ab dem 1. Februar mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 16. Februar bis Mitte April 2026 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende April tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool für Bilder ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und Passwort. Die Videos werden in einem separaten Vorjurytool bewertet, der Link wird später auf unseren Seiten bekanntgegeben.

In diesem Jahr gibt es eine wichtige Regeländerung: Es können beliebig viele Bilder hochgeladen werden, aber nur die besten 50 Bilder pro Fotograf:in werden von der Hauptjury bewertet. Wir freuen uns weiterhin auf interessante Fotoserien von dir. Aber nutze dafür die Category:Images from Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Germany not for prejury und lege nur die besten Bilder der Jury vor.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Folklore Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2026 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:47, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
