Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:The Battle of Algiers.jpg
| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:The Battle of Algiers.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

| Thank you for participating in the #TranslateForGaza campaign! | |
| Together, we broke the silence and helped tell the stories of Palestinians by translating the powerful images donated by UNRWA.
Every image from Gaza tells a story — one of resilience, loss, and humanity. Thanks to your contribution, these stories are now being heard. Thanks again :) on behalf of Wiki for She group, Mervat (talk) 14:03, 17 July 2025 (UTC) |

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth 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 favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2024) 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 top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Algeria
Hi Dzkouslavia, I noticed you are listed as organiser on Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2025/Participating countries for this year's Wiki Loves Monuments in Algeria. The contest in Algeria is scheduled to start in less than 24 hours. Looking for a landing page, I can't find a 2025 page, and in the list it links to the one from 2024. If there is no landing page for Algeria in 2025 by the end of the day, the contest in Algeria may be delayed or cancelled. Please let me know as soon as possible when you have created a landing page. Thank you! Romaine (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Romaine Thank you for your message. We have already created a page for Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Algeria as an event on Meta. Or we should also create a separate landing page on Commons for the contest? Dzkouslavia (talk) 12:50, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Dzkouslavia, The problem was that we weren't informed about if/where the landing page was. I changed the link in the list of countries to this page. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 22:48, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 has started, Join us!

Hello Dzkouslavia,
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
