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 27 September 2025, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Warning

Hi Cvmontuy. I noticed that a deletion request you made was not done correctly.

This is not an unusual mistake, but I'm leaving you this message to help you get this right in the future.

There are several steps to making a deletion request (DR) correctly; among other things you must transclude the deletion into the correct daily DR list, and to notify the page creator and optionally other human (non-bot) editors of the page. By far the easiest way to do all of this correctly is to use the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests, which takes care of all that using vetted Javascript. If you prefer to add the {{Delete}} template or {{Category for discussion}} template manually, you are required to follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed). Again, though, there is no need to follow complex instructions if you use the automatic tools.

Also worth knowing: on Commons, {{Delete}} is not a "speedy delete" request like it is on many other projects; instead, it starts a discussion of whether the file should be deleted. If you think a particular media file really obviously does not belong on Commons, see the instructions at Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. Common cases that are better handled with a speedy delete than a DR include:

• own work within 7 days (COM:CSD#G7)
• empty category never likely to be used (COM:CSD#C2).

Common bad reasons people have for making DRs in the first place include:

• after renaming a category, trying to delete the resulting redirect in violation of policy COM:CATRED
• making a DR for a file where there is already a current DR
• trying to delete one's own work within 7 days (use {{G7}} instead)
• placing {{Delete}} on the deletion subpage itself, or on a talk page.

Also, please don't use {{Ffd}} (that's an English Wikipedia thing).

If you have further questions about the deletion process, you can ask them at COM:Help desk or COM:Village pump. If you were serious about this change, you would have moved Category:Taken with AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8, too.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:29, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Cvmontuy, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all occurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

The picture looks as if it has been rotated 90 deg. Can you have a look please. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:41, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp

The spider is on an almost vertical pad of an Opuntia ficus-indica. The egg sac is suspended by spider silk threads, and gravity is pulling it downward, tightening the threads as you can see.

The pad are similar to the shown on the next image

Stink bug FPC

Hi there. Nice bug, but after focus-stacking you need to retouch the leaf to get the parts of the leaf behind the bug in focus. It is boring but essential work. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:37, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp, Thanks for your feedback. In this case, I took 40 images, and each one has only a small area in focus. The parts of the leaf that remain out of focus are simply because none of the 40 shots captured those areas sharply. Cvmontuy (talk) 18:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I know, but you need to clone in the parts of leaf that the blurred edges of the bug have obscued. Othewise I don't think it should be FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp, What do you think of this new version? Cvmontuy (talk) 09:27, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, still what we call 'stacking errors'. The voters don't seem to care though! Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:38, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp, It seems the FP standard has gotten lower. I’m sorry about that — I’m still learning, and I’ll try to do better next time. Cvmontuy (talk) 04:03, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes, the standards have slipped. As an example, the FPC nomination of Amanita muscaria is really nice, but there are stacking errors (see the disappearing orange stems} at ten o'clock. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

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 18 April 2026, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

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.
