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

- when you zoom in, the artist is "eng by E.G. Williams & Bro N.Y." and the author of the book is "Elroy McKendree Avery" [1] but there is no image there. not at gutenberg. [2] would you please provide a link to where you got it? Slowking4♡Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 03:42, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- ok, i found it here [3] in the past a general handwave at PD1923 would have sufficed, but now with digitization they will require a link for things to stay. and they will say: you find it. Slowking4♡Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 03:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I was actually thinking last night that maybe it would have helped if I provided a more specific link. I will do that in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. LaurentianShield (talk) 15:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- thanks, sorry, the tools around here make it easy to delete, but not fix things. easier to source at upload but no positive reinforcement for good practices. and, we have an ocean of downloads from auction sites that have rotted, but no fix in sight. i guess we'll do better going forward.
