2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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 were 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.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Renaming

Hi, I had a look at File:"Přílet čápa" .jpg for which you requested a rename. When I checked the original title in Google Translate, it indicated that the title said, "Stork's arrival," and the requested rename translated as "Welcoming square" which didn't sound very distinctive (plus I wasn't sure if I saw a square in the image). As I do see a stork in the image, I thought that the current title was more distinctive and accurate, so I decided to keep it. But if there is another pressing reason that the file should be renamed, please let me know. Thanks so much! Mabalu (talk) 13:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

@Mabalu: The reason is that the translation isn't accurate. Proposed name „Vítání_náves“: Vítání is the name of the village (it also means „welcoming“ in Czech) and náves means „village green“ in Czech. However, we can keep the „stork“ in the name, so the name would be „Vítání_náves_přílet_čápa“ or so. Best regards. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 14:23, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Rename done - thanks for explaining further. Mabalu (talk) 14:38, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Happy holidays! 2018! ;)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Draceane, 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 ocurrences 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.

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2017 is open!

Original name

Please take care of such move summaries. This city’s original name is Theutonici de Epuryes (according to the enwiki article), as the official language was Latin in the 13th century. Its official name is Prešov since the signing of the Trianon Treaty in 1920. I don’t have any anger because of your summary, but some Hungarian users may have. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: OK, I know a bit about that history. The meaning was „current name in country's official language“ (because I think that names of Commons files should be expectable) and edit summary might have be more precise. Regards — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 11:36, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

OK. (I haven’t argued with the move itself—furthermore, I do think it’s better to have official names for coats of arms, and the half-English, half-Hungarian name looked terrible—, only the summary.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:45, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Pque de las Avenidas 0339.jpg

File:Pque de las Avenidas 0339.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion 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, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Category:Última Esperanza Sound

Hi:

Before you had more images in this category, there was and earlier category named Category:Seno Última Esperanza. So I have just redirect toward that category.

Pierre cb (talk) 18:05, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Pierre cb: OK, thanks. I didn't notice that, because that category hadn't been connected to matching articles on wikis. I've just repaired links on WD. Regards — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 18:09, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

OK Sorry I did not noticed it earlier. Thanks for your work. Pierre cb (talk) 18:18, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

"rename"

I saw that you declined my request to rename File:Merge-arrow updated.svg. How am i supposed to update the picture File:Merge-arrow.svg? No admin checks Commons:Requested updates to protected images. – GeMet [talk] 10:03, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

@GeMet: Hi, I think that rewriting widely used image is a bad idea. The best option is either to wait for admin action, or post to file talkpage. Moreover, there should exist consensus on updating the file. (I haven't noticed any attempt to inform other users.) Regards — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 10:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

My file names

OK, I'll drop the (1), but how do you mean my file names are confusing? I thought names like (1)Tawny frogmouth-1 were clear enough. Sardaka (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@Sardaka: OK, thanks. I mean that you use capitalisation to distinguish different photos: File:(1)Tawny Frogmouth-1.jpg and File:(1)Tawny frogmouth-1.jpg (F and f). This is confusing. Do you see my point? — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 16:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Imagevio for picture of my father

Hi, you initiated deletion of image https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Petr_%C5%A0ilar.jpg . I must admit that I don't know how to proceed with it. I checked documentation and hopefully I am doing the right thing now :). The problem is following: - I am Pavel Šilar, son of Petr Šilar (on photo). - Photo is taken by my brother (photographer). Then it was probably handled to my father's political party to use on their article.

So i guess rights belong either to my brother or my father. I don't know how to proceed further - provide evidence? Edit something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starojda (talk • contribs) 15:55, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Starojda: Zdravím, potvrzení o autorství v tomto případě musí poskytnout Váš bratr a to skrze systém COM:OTRS (cs:OTRS) – s ním by Vám mohli pomoci správci Mates, Podzemnik, Michal Lenc či Jan Kovář BK. Druhou stránkou věci je fakt, že fotka má extrémně nízké rozlišení a pro běžné použití je tedy takřka nepoužitelná. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 16:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Draceane: V tom případě radši fotku smažte. S bratrem tolik nekomunikuju a i pro mě (IT) je tenhle přístup až moc složitý. Nemám čas to zkoumat a ještě bráchovi popisovat co má udělat. Chápu snahu o čistotu práv, ale uživatelsky je to tedy extrémně nepřívětivé... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starojda (talk • contribs) 19:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hello. Can you make a photo like this one File:Ostrava, výhled z věže radnice, 2015 (06).jpg but without fog? Blast furnaces must to be seen bether. Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

@Blast furnace chip worker: Hi, sorry, I can't. I don't live there, I made this photo while I was on a trip to Ostrava (I'm from Prague and it is 3.5-hour journey by train). But maybe @Cmelak770: could make it (after Czech lockdown will have ended), he is from Ostrava. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 19:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok. I will ask him. Thank you. Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 19:47, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Správcování

Ahoj, nechtěl by sis zde požádat o práva správce? Jsi zkušený uživatel, děláš tady i údržbu, kvalitní fotku taky umíš pořídit... práva by jsi určitě využil ku prospěchu projektu. Může Tě nominovat, jestli chceš. S pozdravem, --Podzemnik (talk) 21:13, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

@Podzemnik:  Ahoj Podzemniku, děkuji za nabídku a projevenou důvěru. Je pravda, že jsem nad tím uvažoval, zvlášť když jsem viděl, kolik je tu práce (ono se stačí mrknout na Category:Media needing categories, to jsem ve volnějších chvílích procházel a nestačil označovat ke smazání). Nicméně, teď jsem (a minimálně do února budu) v reálném životě celkem vytížený. A už teď řeším, jak se postavit k mé rozkročenosti přes dva projekty; prostě mám dojem, že správcovat kvalitně na obou projektech jde těžko – ale možná to jsou jen moje pocity. Tedy summa summarum, nabídky si vážím, neodmítám ji, když tak bych se ti ozval někdy v průběhu příštího roku, ok? :) Přeji pěkné Vánoce na opačnou stranu zeměkoule. ;) — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 11:45, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

@Draceane: Yup, to zní dobře. Ono i kdybys ty práva využil jen občas, tak to stačí. Navíc další česky mluvící správce s právy by se hodil! Tak popřemýšlej a kdyžtak příští rok. S pozdravem, --Podzemnik (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

@Podzemnik: Jasně. A budu mít dotaz: nebude tady vhodný nějaký kratší výstražný blok? Já už nevím, co si s ním počít, to je jak mluvit do dubu... — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 22:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

@Draceane: Možno, bloknul jsem. --Podzemnik (talk) 22:35, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

• Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

• Questions for Ben

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Reminder: Commons Photographers meeting tomorrow

Just a quick reminder: the meeting with large format-photographer Ben Horne will happen tomorrow, Saturday, March 20. If you haven't done yet, please consider signing up for the event and add your questions to this page. This will be our first virtual meeting in 2021 and I'd be super happy if you could join. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Licence: Category:Screenshots from Mapy.cz

The following conversation is in Czech, as it concerns the Czech license, Czech maps and Czech photos on the commons

Ahoj, nějak jsem nepochopil, jaký je vlastně rozsah licence {{Mapy.cz CC-BY-SA}}. Respektive jaký je vlastně rozdíl mezi screenshoty z toho našeho mapového serveru. Proč je v pořádku například tato (namátkou zvolená) sada fotek:

• tady
• nebo zde
• či tohle.

a těmi, které už povoleny nejsou. Je to dáno "mírou naklonění" pohledů z ptačí perspektivy.

Pochopitelně nijak nezpochybňuji tebou navržené (a mnou uplodované fotky):

• File:Destova Usazovaci Nadrz Stodulky III Praha.jpg
• File:Destova Usazovaci Nadrz Jinonice Praha 5.jpg
• File:Albrechtův Vrch Ptaci Perspektiva.jpg
• File:Strasnicke Krematorium Mapy CZ.jpg

Je to k licenci {{Mapy.cz CC-BY-SA}} někde popsáno? Rád bych pochopil, zda se třeba mohou takto licencovat starší orthofotomapy z našeho mapového server. Díky za reakci. Mojmir Churavy (talk) 07:14, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

@Mojmir Churavy: Ahoj, rozdíl je v tom, že jedno jsou čisté letecké mapy a druhé jsou 3D mapy. V plných licenčních podmínkách se v odstavci 2.3.1 píše, že „Screenshot není povoleno použít u 3D mapy a Panoramy.“ Tzn. ortofoto ano, „ptačí perspektiva“ = šikmé snímky také ano, ale 3D snímky ne (jde o to, že provozovatel Map.cz na to taky nebude mít „plné“ licenční podmínky). Z toho vyplývá, že File:Ptaci Pohled Na Areal Zachranne Stanice Jinonice 2017.jpg by měl být v pořádku, nejedná se o 3D snímek. Omlouvám se za potíže, ale musíme zde na Commons holt udržovat přísnost, zvlášť pokud nám někdo umožnil takové luxusní přebírání dat z jiného serveru.

La Poveda+Ferrocarril del Tajuña

Hola Draceane. En primer lugar darte las gracias por las imágenes que has colgado recientemente sobre esta temática ferroviaria, que hace apenas unos meses descubrí que estaba muy falto de material gráfico. Dicho lo cual, te quería preguntar si por casualidad tienes imágenes de la antigua estación de La Poveda y del Museo del Ferrocarril-Talleres de Arganda (La Poveda). Saludos. CFA1877 (talk) 13:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

@CFA1877: Hola, CFA1877, muchas gracias por tu agradecimiento. Yo estuve en Madrid en mi Erasmus en otoño 2016 y hizo una sola viaje a la Poveda (para completar mi reto de visitar todas las estaciones del metro de Madrid). Pues no tenía ni idea que sería necesario sacar fotos de otros edificios ferroviarios. (Estoy acostumbrado a la situación de mi país, República Checa, dónde es casi inútil sacar fotos de estaciones, porque ya tenemos montón de fotos de ellas.) Pues hace un mes yo subí todo que había sacado hace cinco años... Lo siento. :-( Un saludo, — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 21:36, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

@Draceane: No já si myslím, že se jedná o detaily, které si už pamatuje jen pár důchodců (jako já) a má to asi podobný význam, jako otázka, jaký typ tramvaje jezdil v roce 1935 na lince 5. Zdraví --Gampe (talk) 05:13, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Měnění historie

Zdravím, nepovažuji za šťastné editace jako je tato. Ta fotografie byla pořízena 18. května 2011 a tedy na ní je opravdu ještě most přes rychlostní silnici R6. Mostem přes dálnici D6 se stal až k 1. lednu 2016, a to nikoliv se zpětnou platností. Budiž, u kategorií můžeme uvažovat o tom, jestli má smysl fotky rozdělovat podle toho, ve které etapě byly pořízeny, popisy položek ve Wikidatech také má smysl aktualizovat, ale popisy a názvy fotografií by měly odpovídat skutečnosti, tj. tomu, co je na nich zachyceno v době, kdy byly pořízeny. --ŠJů (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

@ŠJů: Ahoj, máš pravdu, v popiscích určitě. S názvy už jsem čím dál větší skeptik, jestli se o nějaké systematické pojmenování souborů vůbec snažit, když tady na Commons vidím tu spoušť (zejm. z různých importů)... (Ano, ale zbytečné přesouvání souborů tomu nepomáhá.) — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 15:03, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Ahoj, u souborů se s žádným jednotným ani systematickým pojmenováváním nikdy nepočítalo, dány jsou pouze nějaké základní principy a mantinely, například že název by měl být popisný a neměl by obsahovat zavádějící údaje atd. Ale konkrétní formát a systém názvů může mít každý uploader jiný, ani jazyk názvů souborů není předepsán. Takže záleží na pečlivosti, inteligenci, prozíravosti, zkušenosti, ohleduplnosti, soudnosti atd. každého uploadera. Opravovat má smysl jen vyložené chyby a omyly - přizpůsobovat názvy cizích obrázků jen tak svému vkusu je vyloženě zapovězeno (vlastní soubory si člověk přejmenovávat může, ale celkem nechápu, když například jeden kolega předělával své starší názvy typu "Třebíč" na "Overview of Třebíč, okres Třebíč" - jestli mu to nějak pomáhá v nějakém robotickém zpracování? – ale každý přispěvatel má nějaký svůj svérázný "rukopis"). Každopádně např. fotka Sazka Arény zůstane už navždy fotkou Sazka Arény, i kdyby se poté ten stadion dvacetkrát znovu přejmenoval, zboural a znovu postavil. Masové importy jsou trochu jiná záležitost - tam mi lezou krkem hlavně souřadnice zadávané s přesností plus mínus tisíc kilometrů, které nám zaplevelují mapy a matou kategorizační roboty. --ŠJů (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Villages vs. Municipalities

Zdravím. Ohledně této skoro rok staré editace bych jen upozornil na 14 let starý konsensus, na základě kterého byla do úvodu českých kategorií "villages" vložena šablona {{Villages-municipalities}}. Ten konsensus tehdy vznikl zhruba tak, že jsme já (User talk:Dezidor#Orlické Podhůří, villages v. municipalities) a snad i Dezidor (User talk:Dezidor#Ždírec) akceptovali praxi či systém, který tady tehdy zavedl a před námi snad i obhájil kolega Miaow Miaow (resp. možná ani on ho sám nevynalezl, ale taky se k němu přiklonil). Do diskuse se přirozeně zapojili ti, kteří se v té době v kategorizaci angažovali a jejichž názory se při editacích střetly, a vložení té šablony tehdy žádnou další diskusi nespustilo, což lze chápat tak, že toto metodické sjednocení nebylo ani ostatními vnímáno jako tak kontroverzní, aby někomu stálo za protesty. I když se i poté našli někteří, kteří ho příliš nerespektovali - snad spíš proto, že si ho nevšimli.

Teoreticky jsou možné oba přístupy. Miaowova argumentace se tehdy opírala hlavně o to, že globálně ve struktuře Commons jsou páteřními kategorizačními větvemi "cities" a "villages" jako společná kategorie zastřešující všechna sídla, zatímco kategorizace "municipalities" takto globálně zastřešena nebyla (ostatně naše obce jsou specifické tím, že jsou jakousi rozšířenou identitou města či vesnice, zatímco v mnoha zemích se samosprávné obce podobají spíše jakými malým samosprávným okresům, tedy nejsou vnímány jako "sídla", ale spíš jako administrativní oblasti). Tomuto pojetí jsme tedy vyšli vstříc tím, že pojem "village" jsme pro účely Commons pojali jako "obec, která nemá speciální status města nebo městyse", zatímco pod kategorie "cities" řadíme jak města, tak městyse (tříštit kategorizaci na města, městyse, bývalá města a bývalé městyse by zbytečně strukturu znepřehledňovalo, zvlášť pokud by se důsledně promítalo i do všech metakategorií typu "by city"). Terminologicky to není zcela přesné, ale toto pojetí ani není zcela ojedinělé - například v tradiční soutěži "Vesnice roku" soutěží také celé obce, nikoliv vesnice, které samostatnými obcemi nejsou. Pokud bychom města měli ve specifických podkategoriích, zatímco "vesnické obce" bychom řadili přímo do kategorií obcí, vznikal by tim paradoxní stav, že méně významné obce by v kategorizačních stromech byly vlastně vždycky o úroveň výš a viditelnější než města - pokud máme podkategorii "venkovských obcí", ta je udrží alespoň v paralelní pozici rovnocenné s těmi městy.

Problémem ovšem je, že na Wikipedii jsme už dost dávno přešli k rozlišování "vesnic" od "obcí", takže pak je pro uživatele neintuitivní, že v Commons máme jiný systém a jiné pojetí pojmů než na české Wikipedii. Tj. pokud někdo kategorizaci konkrétního místa mechanicky okopíruje z Wikipedie, tak tím vlastně porušuje ten systém zavedený v Commons.

Je možné, že za těch 14 let se změnila jak celková podoba struktury kategorií na Commons, tak naše představy a požadavky. I já jsem během těch 14 let několikrát uvažoval o tom, jestli bychom neměli přejít k tomu komplikovanějšímu systému a tím se i přizpůsobit Wikipedii.

Hlavním důvodem, proč jsem se k tomu nepřiklonil a nezačal to prosazovat, bylo asi to, že "vesnice" v urbanistickém smyslu je pojem poměrně neurčitý, neostrý a neoficiální. Spousta sídel či částí obcí je přechodného či smíšeného typu, nemusí být jasně ohraničené (někdy může jedna vesnice spadat do dvou obcí nebo přesahovat z jedné obce do druhé, jindy může být jedna část obce tvořena dvěma vesnicemi či dvě vesnice mohou spolu tvořit jednu část obce, některá sídla je možné charakterizovat jako vesnici skládající se ze dvou vesnic, v případě rozptýlené horské zástavby je někdy obtížné vůbec nějak vesnice vymezit atd. Byť chápu, že pro kategorizaci fotek by mohlo mít smysl mít oddělené fotky městského typu zástavby od fotek venkovského typu zástavby, příliš velké množství čtvrtí a sídel nejednoznačného charakteru by nám do toho systému nezapadalo. Z toho důvodu bych se při územní kategorizaci snažil držet primárně administrativních celků (základní kostru tvoří dělení na obce a evidenční části obce) a jejich jednoznačně daným formálním statusem, a nekomplikoval bych to nejednoznačnými urbanistickými vymezeními či charakteristikami. A z toho důvodu bych zůstal u pojetí pojmu "villages" jako "obce, které nejsou městysem ani městem" - tedy vlastně ve smyslu "village municipalities". Ovšem v několika případech měst (typu Sedlčan nebo Dubé), kde je zcela jednoznačně rozlišitelné jádrové město a připojené vesnice, jsem se také dopustil jakéhosi kompromisu, že jsem kategorii těch připojených vesnic jako celek zařadil do kategorie vesnic v daném okrese. Ale třeba v případě Prahy bych se opravdu nechtěl pouštět do rozlišování, které z jejích částí zůstaly ještě dost venkovské na to, aby se daly kategorizovat jako vesnice.

Pokud by někdy převážil opačný názor (zásadně bych se tomu nebránil a myslím, že jednou na to přece jen dojde, ale rozhodně bych na to nespěchal), pak by to chtělo nějakou organizovanou systematickou a dobře promyšlenou akci, jak ten kategorizační strom transformovat (jednou z jednodušších možností by bylo ty české kategorie "villages" jen hromadně přejmenovat, aby jejich název byl méně zavádějící). Do té doby bych doporučoval držet se v principu té původní metodiky, jak je popsaná v záhlaví těch kategorií.

Aktuální začíná být potřeba rozlišovat kategorizaci celé obce od kategorie "stejnojmenné jádrové části obce". To je problém, který ještě nemáme dořešený ani na Wikipedii – Commons v tom asi bude muset být trochu napřed, Wikidata už se s tím vypořádala. Ale tohle snad lze zatím dělat přiležitostně a pozvolným způsobem – pro každé město či obec zvlášť, když to bude potřeba.

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

Please save the date: on Saturday, June 19th, our next virtual Zoom meeting is going to take place. As you know, one goal of these meetings is to share knowledge about different types of photography. This time, we've lined up the following presentations:

• Photography in Nigeria
• Photographing vehicles
• I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…

If you'd like to participate in this event, please consider signing up on this page. Also, if you'd like to present at one of the next meetings, please send me a quick note. Sharing your experiences and learnings with others can make a huge difference!

I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best! Hope to see you on the 19th.

Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:

• Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:

• Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
• The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)

You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.

• Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!
• And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.

Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…

Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Dotaz zda jsou Vaše fotografie Rumunska v souladu

Question from the CPUG Board

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey, just in case you missed it, I had answered your question here. Thanks for a polite, well-reasoned oppose. Not much to say about it, though, simply because it boils down to "Does strong historic value trump a bad composition?" and coming down on different sides. Luckily, most of my stuff is rather better composed than that, so it doesn't matter. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:15, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: Hi, thank you for the response. I might have been strict on this photo, but the crop spoiled the composition for me. It's a perfect VI and it's a pity, that the photo cannot be taken again and better... Otherwise I really appreciate your work on restoring historical images, those images are really great. Regards! — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 14:20, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I really don't object to your, um, objection. I'm more based at en-wiki FPC (which includes VI-style judgements on encyclopedic value), and I think that shows a bit. Technically, you're probably more correct based on Commons's FPC rules than all the other voters for this particular image. But I mainly just wanted to do cover the PNG-JPEG difference in Wikipedia's handling, since that's an odd little quirk of the software that's worth talking about, while "That's fair enough" is about all I can say to the objection itself.
