Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open! edit
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in Round 1 of the 2022 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) 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.
In this second and final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2022.
Round 2 will end at UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

- @Stemoc, good catch! That's disappointing, I really thought I had found a freely licenced image of the event. Oh well, self reverting now. Cheers! Johnson524 (talk) 21:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- I know lol, have been searching the last 6 hours but most are either satellite shots which are owned by american companies (and not ukrainian govt) thus not free. Always looks for attribution below an image of who owns the copyright, if none are provided, always assume its not free.. Stemoc 22:20, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Stemoc: Thanks for the rule of thumb, I'll keep that in mind. Good luck on your search! Johnson524 (talk) 22:31, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Stemoc: if you have the time, the file has been recreated again under the same license. Could you go about removing this image again from Commons, I'm not so familiar with the process. Thanks! Johnson524 (talk) 16:50, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- yeah cascade protected so will see if i can get an admin to delete it... Stemoc 22:41, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Stemoc: It actually looks like it might be under a free license and is cascade protected now. Thanks for your help again with this, cheers! Johnson524 (talk) 22:46, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- nah armyinform doesn't own the rights to it, owned by Suspilne News,you can see the exact shot 3 seconds in on the video posted here (https://sg.news.yahoo.com/drone-footage-shows-flooding-along-150655801.html).. Stemoc 22:49, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Stemoc: Oof. You should mention this on the file's talk page- at least one other user seems pretty convinced, and the file is in use on multiple Wikipedia's now. Johnson524 (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- yep been fixing this nonsense for like the last 3 years, whenever a news breaks, idiots start adding random images they find to the major wikis and admins on those wikis don't do a double check and just use those images straight away on the main pages (news), enwiki the worst lol, since i can't touch enwiki, can you get that image removed from the article on it there before one admin decides to use it on the main page..or just replace it with the free one i added, see the watermark? .. yeah..its only free if they tag it as theirs..
