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 »]

Meta Categories

Hi Fleur-de-farine. Please, when you create a category by something (by city, by country, by century, by period, etc.) add at the top of the category the template of the metacat (e.g. {{metacat|city}}, {{metacat|country}}, {{metacat|century}}, {{metacat|period}}, etc.). It's important, because these are all metacategories, and the template put them automatically in the respective flat list, so after it's easier to make mantenance of these categories. You find all the flat lists here. Thank you very much. Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

More: if you have a metacat with two parameters (e.g. by subject by country) you have to give both parameters to the template (e.g. {{metacat|subject|country}}). Please, can you control all the categories that you have created, and add the correct template of metacat? Thank you very much! Cheers, --DenghiùComm (talk) 22:53, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

• Ok. Thank you for an explanation. ~ Fleur-de-farine (talk) 22:57, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Fleur-de-farine. Sorry if I disturb you again. First: thank you very much for your collaboration and corrections. Second: there is another problem: when you create categories with tho parameters, you must use the english sinthaxe and not that of the neo-latin languages. There is a difference of mentality and meaning. For latin speaking people "Baroque paintings by subject" are "paintings by style by subject" (the same order of the words), instead for the anglo-saxon mentality they are "paintings by by subject by style" (the reverse order). I think that you speak french; I speak italian. So we have the same problem with this reverse mentality. About 5 years ago all categories of Italy with two parameters was reverted in the anglo-saxon mentality order. Commons is a multilingual project, but the common language is english, so we are obliged to apply the anglo-saxon mentality / understanding for double categories. It's important that there is coherence with all other categories in the Commons system. So I changed in the reverse order 3 double categories that you have created ("Historical images by country by city", "Paintings by genre by subject", "Paintings by style by subject"). If you had create other double categories in the wrong order, please tell me and I will revert them. Thank you very much again. Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 07:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Unicorns are fantasy creatures, so all media with unicorns can be seen as art

Hi Fleur-de-farine. I removed the Unicorns in art category and you seem to have undone this. Can you please explain to me why? --Judithcomm (talk) 21:29, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

• Hello @Judithcomm: ! Not all images in the category are related to art. There are some photos of toys, t-shirts, road signs and so on - so it's possible to separate it from paintings and objects of decorative art. Furthermore it will help to connect unicorns with categories of other animals in art. I'm going to do that a little bit later. Best regards, ~ Fleur-de-farine (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Ok I get it. For me all objects featuring unicorns are art, because the real thing doesn't exist. So connecting them with other animals may not always be possible. Good luck. --Judithcomm (talk) 17:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

"Photographs of dance" and similar categories

Hello, Fleur-de-farine. You have new messages at Lambtron's talk page. You may remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hello Fleur-de-farine. You never answered on my talk page so I'm reposting here. As you may recall, you asked me to not remove Category:Photographs of dance from files without a "really valid reason", which I believe I had already provided in the edit summary: "this is not a useful category: the vast majority of files in cat:dance are photographs".

I recognize the value of a category like videos of dance because it covers a small subset of dance-related files and a minority media type. However, the same cannot be said for Category:Photographs of dance because the great majority of dance files are photos, and consequently it seems pointless to even have such a category.

Please ask yourself this: How likely is it that someone will search for just photos of dance when photos are by far the predominant media type? (Answer: Not very likely). Please also consider this: Why are most dance photos not categorized as photographs of dance? (Answer: because it would be a monumental task to categorize hundreds of thousands of dance photos this way, and there seems to be no logical reason for doing so).

As things stand now there is little value in a category that purports to contain all dance photos when it actually covers only a tiny fraction of them. And even if you invested months of your time to complete this categorization, the fully-populated category would still have little value because it would largely overlap Category:Dance.

I hope you will reconsider this issue and, if you agree with my reasoning, consider deleting Category:Photographs of dance. Lambtron (talk) 18:38, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

File renaming

Please do not insist: if a renaming request has been declined, there must be reasons for that and proposing the same thing doesn't help. See Commons:File renaming: if a file has already a meaningful name, let it be. --Ruthven (msg) 15:38, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Chakrasana, Urdhva Dhanurasana are synonyms

Hi, not quite sure what your intentions are here, but these two names are synonyms for the same yoga pose. Would be best to have just one category for them. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:52, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

I also more or less don't see any point to your category "Asanas by name"; all the Asana categories are in other categories like Standing asana, which in turn are in Asana, and that should really be sufficient. If you are sure that asanas are inadequately categorised in that way, then every asana would need to be in your new category (only 20 are today); I think the category would best be deleted really. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:55, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry to see no reply. I think we should empty out and delete the "Asanas by name" category as overlapping with the more structured hierarchy that already exists. I'll get on with it. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:24, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:MoscowHotel-construction.png

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:MoscowHotel-construction.png, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:MoscowHotel-construction.png]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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.

File tagging File:Noces-Goncharova.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Noces-Goncharova.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Noces-Goncharova.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have 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 them, 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!

Categorization

Please do not change categorization, as you did with gates. --Orijentolog (talk) 13:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Explanation: If a specific category ends with "...by country" then you have list of countries (A: Armenia, B: Belgium, R: Russia, etc). If it ends with "...by century" then you have list of centuries. That's how thousands of categories are organized, and you tried to switch it, which is a mistake. --Orijentolog (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

• Ok, thank you for explanation. It wasn't easy to find out that logic. That reverse algorithm a little bit confusing. ~ Fleur-de-farine 15:54, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

You're not only one who got confused by it, I was doing the same mistakes a year ago. :) And then I had to correct it. :( Generally, it's easier to remember how it goes by ending: ...by country|Russia]], ...by city|Moscow]], ...by century|18]], and so on. Means, vertical line is like "=", country=Russia, city=Moscow, etc. If you see differently, for sure it's a mistake. Exceptions are by-by categories and secondary categories (those which have ...|*]], ...|!]], ...|+]]). If you want to see most complicated examples of by-by cats, try i.e. Category:Bridges by function by material by type. --Orijentolog (talk) 16:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Oh, that's a real puzzle :) ~ Fleur-de-farine 16:36, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, so today's school homework would be: what's the difference between Category:Bridges by function by type by material by country and Category:Bridges by function by material by type by country? :) My God, I spent hours and I was opening tens of tabs, studying how one German guy organized bridges, and that's how I learnt categorization. Something like Russians with German rockets. :) Kindly advice: do not goo too much deep with categories, there are hundreds of countries, tens of centuries and functions, and when you multiply all, product can be time-consuming nightmare. --Orijentolog (talk) 16:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Agree. But same time categories may be really helpful :)) ~ Fleur-de-farine 14:57, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

FYI, I continued developing your idea of separating buildings from architecture, by century & by country, also architectural elements. Few notices:

• See how Buildings in Armenia by century & Buildings in Russia by century look now. Spain and Slovenia are also separated.
• I gave Religious buildings in Russia by century for deletion, because it's not a practical solution at the moment. You can see above why, there are up to ten cases of [building] by century.
• See also Architecture of Russia by century, Architecture of Spain by century...
• That's why I also give Structures in Russia by century for deletion, IMHO architects, bridges, buildings, elements and fortifications are enough for now.
• Examples of solved centuries in Russia: 15th-century architecture in Russia, 21st-century architecture in Russia.
• Examples of unsolved centuries in Russia: 19th-century architecture in Russia, 20th-century architecture in Russia (too many buildings of unknown function, for me)
• Unlike initial cats which you opened, I was careful that every single category has top templates of countries and centuries.

I hope you like it, and if you have any objections, just say. :) --Orijentolog (talk) 13:10, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Ещё про categorization, Category:Buildings on Prospekt Mira, Moscow и т.п.

Предлагаю вернуть как было. Категорий по улицам примерно Москвы примерно две тысячи, и в каждой лежат фотографии зданий. Масштаб переделок - только в рамках Москвы - явно выше способностей отдельно взятого редактора. А другим взяться неоткуда: "мужики-то не знают", а если и узнают - не поймут. Вот ваш покорнейший, к примеру, масштаб осознаёт, а смысла не видит. Уже есть печальный прецедент, когда @Stolbovsky: начал было выносить в подкатегории нижнего уровня улицы районов - да так и бросил, и сейчас десять улиц Замоскворечья прозябают в Category:Streets in Zamoskvorechye, а все остальные - в Category:Zamoskvorechye. Так и живём, от чего время от времени дубли категорий заводятся. Retired electrician (talk) 18:34, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

@Retired electrician: Что в итоге делаем с этими зданиями? Там, правда, еще адреса на английском некорректно указаны.--Александр Мотин (talk) 23:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Recherche de la collection de l'Enlèvement d'Europe par Gerda Wegener

Bonjour Fleur-de-farine

Vous avez versé deux images d'une peinture de l'Enlèvement d'Europe par Gerda Wegener : Rape_of_Europa_Wegener_1.jpg. C'est une image très rare. Merci ! Un élément correspondant a été créé sur Wikidata Q113242239. L'image a été prise dans une exposition au musée Pouchkine. Est-ce que vous savez à quelle collection appartient l'œuvre (musée ? collection particulière ?) J'ai fait des recherches, malheureusement sans résultat. Bien à vous Shonagon (talk) 23:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

• Bonjour Shonagon,

cette aquarelle provient de la QUAD Fine Art galerie, Londres. ~Fleur-de-farine 22:14, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Your undeletion request

Hi, I support undeletion, but the source, license, etc. should be corrected. Will you do it? Do you speak French? Yann (talk) 09:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

MetaCats

If category title contains multiple criteria, only the last one should be used in temple. So in this particular case only it should be only "function" and nothing else. Recently there was discussion about it. Orijentolog (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Furthermore, renaming Churches by style by country by type to Religious buildings by country by style is totally wrong. Please do not make such things, you're making damage. --Orijentolog (talk) 14:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Furthermore, mausoleums are not religious buildings. Furthermore, it category ends with "by style" then it should have listed styles under alphabetic order, not functions. Furthermore, there is zero need to separate structures by style, it would require tens of thousands of edits, just to make unnecessary duplicates and deeper categorization. --Orijentolog (talk) 15:56, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Altes Rohr und Gebäude bei Rascafría II

Are you sure this was a residential building? There's a pipe leading to it (at the right). Maybe an old power station? GerritR (talk) 20:51, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

You are right. I've corrected it to a more general cat. ~Fleur 07:33, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
