Hello Sir Amugi. You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning.

Papeletas electorales

Hola. Veo que estás poniendo que las papeletas electorales "representan" a algunas de las personas candidatas. En realidad eso sería si en las papeletas salieran sus fotos o retratos, pero no es el caso. Debería haber una propiedad para decir que se les menciona, pero no he sido capaz de encontrarla.

Vamos subiendo papeletas y se van creando categorías de políticos. No todos los candidatos son políticos, sobre todo en las municipales de sitios pequeños. Pero hay muchos que van saliendo. Sería mejor hacer vía Wikidata, con Qs. Tal y como está el asunto ahora, habría que hacer las dos cosas. En fin, mucha faena.

Si encuentras la propiedad adecuada, adelante con los faroles. Seguiremos subiendo papeletas según se vayan haciendo elecciones (que ¿no será que estés en Andalucía, eh?).

Gracias por el esfuerzo.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

@Sir Amugi You were blocked because you kept uploading copyrighted files, not available under a free license, to Wikimedia Commons after several warnings. The vast majority of images found on the internet are copyright-protected and may not be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If you acknowledge this problem, and read COM:L and COM:NETCOPYVIO, you will likely be unblocked. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
