You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Slaunger/Archives/2017,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.

The 'alternative facts' view of Easter 2017 in Viborg. Sunny, warm, time to burn a witch on the lake and wear funny caps. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:07, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! If you say so. :) I always leave such grading to others who can see it more objectively. Btw, first one is up. The title is of course a nod to another friend. :D --cart-Talk 21:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that is a dead serious change to your user page. About time! I like very much your nod to our common(s) friend! Very nice achievement in rain! . -- Slaunger (talk) 21:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

1) Hello you two !

2) I agree with the upgrade.

3) Rain in Viborg ? Fiction... this is far much more likelihood...

4) Thanks for the title

Thanks Jeb! Yes the rain and the icy cold are of course "fake news" of Viborg, we only had sunshine and warm days... I grew up with that song and I still love it. --cart-Talk 09:39, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
