- ⧼Wikibase-terms/Echelon 1⧽: Deutsch, Ελληνικά, English, français, magyar, italiano, македонски, 日本語, русский, svenska
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 »]
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Там не firearms, потому что каменные шары не для стрельбы, а для метательных машин. Нету fire. Отмените вашу правку, пожалуйста. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 19:29, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Уточните, пожалуйста, какой файл. --Иван Дулин (talk) 19:31, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Видимо вот эти [1], [2] ? На одном из фото видна подпись "ядра осадных орудий". Под орудиями обычно подразумеваются артиллерийские. Датировка XV-XVI веками - уже полностью огнестрельная эпоха, а каменные ядра на ранних орудиях использовались повсеместно. --Иван Дулин (talk) 19:41, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Если так, значит, я могу быть неправ. Каменные ядра не разбивались от выстрела? Надо же!--PereslavlFoto (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
- Действительно, разбивались. Просто чугун научились отливать только в XVI веке, и технология внедрялась постепенно. Иногда каменые ядра даже скреплялись железными обручами. --Иван Дулин (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Stör, Niklas Liebespaar am Brunnen.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 {{PD-self}} 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. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
