Airshow photos

Hello! You have uploaded a lot of nice airshow photos. It would be nice, if you could put the photos in the respective "warbirds and museum aircraft" (like Category:North American T-6 Texan warbirds and museum aircraft) categories. Especially, with airplanes like the P-51 or T-6, there are more warbird photos available than historic ones. The warbird categories help, at least a little bit, to prevent category overcrowding... Thanks and cheers! Cobatfor (talk) 10:08, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

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

Thanks for your comments!

Hello L-Bit,
thanks for your many comments on commons talk:photo challenge/themes - there aren't that many people participating in the theme discussions, so I'm really happy you took the time to comment!
By the way - I download all interesting images, sort and resort them until I have decided on my favourites (up to 10 ;->) and then start the distribution of points and hearts... ;->
Best wishes, Anna reg (talk) 10:40, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi L-Bit

Happy New Year!

I'm sorry but your two photos on this challenge were added after the end of December 2015 UTC. So I have to remove them. Hope you find time to enter in the January challenges, which will be set up shortly. -- Colin (talk) 12:06, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
