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!

Do you have any idea regarding Wikipedia picture of the day? Can you please guide me how to use Wikipedia Fp's as picture of the day? Paramanu Sarkar (talk) 14:56, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
@Paramanu Sarkar: Wikipedia POTD differs from Commons POTD in that the caption of the POTD is as important as the image. The POTD is intended to entice visitors to read the related Wikipedia article. The caption should be a summary of the highlights of the article. Egs. Oriental honey buzzard and Spiti Valley. I've seen some cases of experienced editors removing a scheduled POTD or deferring it to a later date due to a poorly-written caption.
Beyond that, similar to Commons: look for a free date to add your POTD, follow the templates for some existing POTD. Unlike Commons, the photographer's name is mentioned at the bottom.
Feel free to ask if you need further clarifications. Tagooty (talk) 12:44, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your guidance, I feel its beyond my expertise to provide such captions so its better not to get involved. Paramanu Sarkar (talk) 06:44, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
