Hello, יונה בנדלאק!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open! edit

 
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 »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Photo challenge translation edit

Hi יונה בנדלאק. Thank you for adding a translation at MediaWiki talk:WatchlistNotice. I have copied it to User:HelenOnline/sandbox/Photo challenge template where we have been preparing the watchlist notices so that we can incorporate it next month. You can help us by adding a translation in your language there every month. HelenOnline 09:17, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please add your translation to the empty | he = field here before the end of September if you would like it included in the watchlist notice next month. HelenOnline 13:03, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
i add it. Yona B. (t) 10:14, 28 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
I'm just organising the november translations for the photo challenge and wanted to ask if you'd like to actualise the message in Helen'S sandbox? Best wishes, Anna reg (talk) 23:18, 30 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

And once again, the photo challenges for December are prepared for translation... and while I can at least correct the links for the other languages, the right-left makes me a bit too unsure to try it with hebrew... the link is the same as before.

Photo challenge translation2 edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
The new watchlist message for January will be prepared in Helen's sandbox. Best wishes and a happy new year, --Anna reg (talk) 19:50, 26 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Anna reg why you don't use the translation tool? this monthly message can be really better by using it. Yona B. (t) 06:45, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I don't think that the translation tool can be used for the watchlist messages, as it creates new pages for each language, which wouldn't be useful here. The challenge themes could probably be translated via the translation tool, but it would probably be necessary to have a translation administrator involved in the process, as pages have to be marked for translation before the tool can be used...
But if you know of something that could help, I'd be happy to try something else...
Best wishes and a happy new year, Anna reg (talk) 11:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Yona B.,
I once again prepared the watchlist messages for February in Helen's sandbox, if you'd like to translate the Hebrew one...

April photo challenges ready for translation edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
I'm preparing the new watchlist message in HelenOnline's sandbox - as always... Thanks for your help, Anna reg (talk) 07:47, 31 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

May edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
FRacco created some translation templates for the photo challenge and formulated a Translation Plan which affects the new watchlist message: by using the template {{Photo challenge watchlist notice}} we will hopefully only have to translate the theme names from month to month (this month at Template:Photo challenge theme/i18n/Mother Nature Strikes Back and Template:Photo challenge theme/i18n/Panoramas).
Best wishes and thanks for your help!

Commons:Photo challenge translation - June edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
we are really late this month (I didn't have much time), but the challenge pages for June are:

The new templates used for the watchlist message (and other uses of the theme titles) are therefore {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Collections, Collecting and Collectables}} and {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Eyes}}.
Best wishes and once again thanks for helping!
--Anna reg (talk) 23:04, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

done. Yona B. (t) 05:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Commons:Photo challenge translations - July edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
the pages for July are finally, finally ready for translation:

The title translations are therefore {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Food production and processing}} and {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Unfamiliar Vehicles}}.
I removed the time restriction from last months restriction (time and pictures per user) - please check that I didn't delete anything wrong...
Best wishes and once again thanks for helping!

Commons:Photo challenge translations - September edit

Hello יונה בנדלאק,
I didn't manage to do any notifications for August (I hardly participated in the challenge preparation), but I have some news for September:
The new challenges are

The title translations can be found under {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Fossils}}, {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Fountains and wells}} and {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/100 years later}}.
Oh, and we have a time restriction for September for Fountains and wells - please check the text!
Best wishes, --Anna reg (talk) 00:43, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Done Yona B. (t) 06:18, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Great! As Mykola Swarnyk asked about the August translations, I realised that it's perhaps a good idea to give you the links for the theme name templates - after all, they will be used in the watchlist notice for September (voting pages): {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Reptiles and Amphibians}} and {{Photo challenge theme/i18n/Personal Protective Equipment}}.
Thanks & all the best, --Anna reg (talk) 07:59, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
