Your most memorable shot 2020

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

Over the course of the past two years, we've been sharing pictures that have a special meaning with each other at the start of the new year. Today, I'm inviting you add your most memorable shot of 2020 to this page:

• Your most memorable shot 2020

I hope you, your familiy, and your friends are well during these difficult times. I wish you all the best for 2021 and I can't wait to see what your most memorable shot of 2020 looks like.

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear Podzemnik

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Podzemnik,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

• Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

• Questions for Ben

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:54, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Ada River (New Zealand)

Hi Michal, could you please have a look on some of your photographs you have taken on the 28th of June 2016 on St James Walkway? I found your photographs on commons under Category:Ada River (New Zealand). I was going to use one of these photos for an article but I found that the given coordinates are not corresponding with the rivers name. The coordinates are pointing on Boyle River. I would be happy you could have a look and check. Thanks in advance. -- Ulanwp (talk) 17:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ulanwp: Hi, yes I think that all photos belong to Ada River. The coordinates have a diameter set for 8,000m (see the source code) which means that the photo was taken somewhere up to 8,000m around the actual coordinates... I used to do it sometimes when I thought that it's better to have some coordinates than none as I used to struggle to pin point where the photo was actually taken.. I don't do it these days anymore and I take my time and actually do the coordinates properly. Regards, --Podzemnik (talk) 21:33, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

That's fine than. I didn't know about the huge tolerance. Thank's for your response and have a nice day. -- Ulanwp (talk) 07:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia files

I did not understand the reason for having removed my files that I had published in the articles in question. What's wrong? I demand that all my files be returned, because according to the form, I filled it out completely. I hope you're not sending the bot to delete it out because of envy.

Žádost o úpravu obrázku

Ahoj, u obrázku byla vznesena námitka, že fotka poslanců a obličej na zadním panelu by měly být rozmazány, "zabíleny", či podobně upraveny, aby nebyly jako dílo 3. strany identifikovatelné, viz také diskuse. Já jsem takové úpravy nikdy neprováděl, takže jsem se chtěl zeptat a požádat, jestli bys takovou úpravu uměl zrealizovat? Díky. --Kacir (talk) 19:34, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Kacir: Zrealizovat by to šlo. Prvně se ještě zeptám, zda je ta licence OK myslíš ve smyslu zda autor skutečně nahrává své fotografie? Autor nám zde nahrává docela zajímavé kousky. --Podzemnik (talk) 21:13, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Opravdu nevím, jistý podiv jsem vyjádřil ve shrnutí. Myslím, že to bude tak, že @Michal Bělka: dal ke smazání všechny obrázky, které dohledal na netu. Tento obrázek je evidentně z "kuchyně̟" pořadu a asi by ho musel obsahovat nějaký účet na sociální síti. Jak o tom přemýšlím, myslím, že (máš pravdu a) opatrnost je namístě. Občas jsem podobný problém řešil hromadnou žádostí o smazání, kde jsem navrhl celou podezřelou skupinu obrázků uživatele. Protože, pokud mohl podvádět u některých snímků jednoho tématu, proč mu věřit u zbylých? Tedy, pokud autor licenci přesvědčeji nevyjasní, alespoň já nebudu obrázky dále vkládat do hesel. Považuj proto žádost za bezpředmětnou. Měj se, --Kacir (talk) 21:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Kacir and Podzemnik: Dobrý den, nechával jsem smazat fotky z facebookového profilu Událostí komentářů, Newsroomu nebo ČT24. Hromadnou žádost jsem nedotáhl do konce. Je tady i varianta, že autorem fotek je někdo ze zpravodajství ČT a zbylé fotky jsem na facebooku nedohledal proto, že je nahrál jen sem (nebo pocházejí z jiného profilu ze SS, který jsem neprocházel). V ČT už nepracuju, takže se nemohu snadno doptat. --Michal Bělka (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

@Kacir and Podzemnik: I když ono to možná nebude tak složité, z ostatních fotografií nahraných tímto účtem soudím, že uživatele ze staré práce znám. Zeptám se ho off-wiki, jestli jsou to jeho fotky a dal by nám OTRS souhlas. --Michal Bělka (talk) 11:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Odpověď

Ahoj, pořád mám v paměti, že ti dlužím jednu odpověď. Hned na úvod píšu, že do toho v minimálně nejbližším časovém horizontu (rok[?]) nepůjdu. A teď trochu obšírněji: ano, vidím, že zde na Commons je enormní množství práce, která se prostě neudělá – jednak vidím, jaký je převis v různých údržbových kategoriích, kolik copyvií/nekvalitních obrázků/… tu vesele vegetuje, jak dlouho trvá uzavření DR…; jednak jsem si všiml, že povzdechy na VP ohledně nedostatku lidí na činnost XYZ patří už bohužel ke zdejšímu koloritu.

Moje situace je taková, že jsem po úspěšném absolvování VŠ nastoupil na full-time do práce (projektant mostních konstrukcí) a toho volného času ubývá, takže se musím důkladněji rozhodovat, jak s ním naložím. V rámci působení na Commons se chci soustředit na tři činnosti: postupně nahrát dosavadní fotoarchiv (existuje tu jistý deadline a mám vytříděno přes 24 tisíc encyklopedicky hodnotných fotek), zdokonalit se ve focení prostřednictvím QI/FP a zároveň mám rozjeté ještě nějaké importovací projekty (1, 2). Navíc bohužel (i přes pandemii, která to trochu zbrzdila) každoročně nafotím víc „pro Commons“, než za daný rok stihnu nahrát. Když to shrnu, za větší riziko považuji to, že některé obrázky tu kvůli prodlení nebudou (svobodné), než to, že zde v těch souborech bude nepořádek. Tak se nezlob za tuto negativní odpověď a každopádně se těším na další spolupráci ať zde na Common, nebo i na Wikipedii. Zdravím k protinožcům. ;) — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 19:27, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

@Draceane: Díky za obšírnou odpověď, odkazy jsem si prošel, inspirující. Je super, že máš toho ještě tolik co nahrát, na druhou stranu Ti moc nezávidím, bude to spousta práce. K full time práci gratuluji, vítej ve světě pracujících :-D Já jsem poslední dva roky taky ve full time zaměstnání po letech cestování a teda žádná sláva chodit 5x týdně do práce. S těmi QI nebo FP můžu pomoci, i když jsem se z tama dobrovolně stáhl, abych se mohl věnovat jiným činnostem. Úplně chápu, že se do správcovství zde neženeš. Je velká pravda, že místní správci a údržbáři nestíhají. Kdybys potřeboval uzavřít v budoucnu nějaké DR, dej echo, já to moc nesleduju, jen někdy se tam vrhnu a uzavřu jich třeba stovku. Ať se daří v práci, osobním i wiki životě! S pozdravem, --Podzemnik (talk) 20:20, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Anyway, I've just put up everything uploaded by User:Curtistemaari up for deletion as everything is a copyvio. New user; just helped him/herself to anything that was available online.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Save the date: Commons Photographers meeting next week

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

Please save the date: on Saturday, June 19th, our next virtual Zoom meeting is going to take place. As you know, one goal of these meetings is to share knowledge about different types of photography. This time, we've lined up the following presentations:

• Photography in Nigeria
• Photographing vehicles
• I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…

If you'd like to participate in this event, please consider signing up on this page. Also, if you'd like to present at one of the next meetings, please send me a quick note. Sharing your experiences and learnings with others can make a huge difference!

I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best! Hope to see you on the 19th.

Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

This Sunday!

Hi, this is just a quick reminder: the next virtual meeting of our user group is scheduled for Sunday, June 19, 16:00 UTC. Topics are: “Photography in Nigeria”, “Photographing Vehicles”, “Wildlife photography and citizen science”, and “I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…”. I'm thrilled about this great agenda and I'm looking forward to connecting with you again. Stay safe and all the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

De-adminship warning

Dear Podzemnik. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your admin rights on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Aug-Sep 2022 before 13 September, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose their rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you! -- CptViraj (talk) 18:51, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Uh oh. I hope life's treating you well but I sense you are busy with the wee one. Here's a potential admin action for you. User:Prosperosity is appearing a lot on my watchlist and it's been a long time since I had to correct a mistake. You could consider making him autopatrolled. Schwede66 02:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi! The user seems to be uploading photos that are not compatible with Commons so I'd hesitate with making him autopatrolled. Example: File:Ericentrus_rubrus_(5).jpg - it's CC-BY-NC. Podzemnik (talk) 06:07, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Good to have that one resolved (closed as 'kept'). Were there any other photos with dodgy-looking licenses? Schwede66 10:44, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:

• Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:

• Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
• The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)

You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.

• Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!
• And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.

Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…

Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

dotaz na správce WC

Ahoj, mám dotaz: je možné zablokovat uploadera, pokud trvale systematicky nahráná soubory a nezařazuje je do kategorií? A rovněž nereaguje na jakákoliv upozornění na uživatelské stránce. Mám konkrétně na mysli příspěvky uživatele Mar26Mon14. Předem děkuji za názor. Gampe (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Ahoj, blokoval bych v případě porušování autorských práv, z čehož se už, podle všeho, uploader poučil. Za nezařazování fotek do kategorií bych osobně určitě neblokoval, to mi nepřijde zase tak zásadní. Nedostatek určitě ano. Uploader má docela konstruktivní příspěvky pod správnou licencí, což je to hlavní. Podzemnik (talk) 04:43, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Díky za odpověď. Gampe (talk) 06:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from the CPUG Board

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups

Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at mikerove.wiki if you have ideas or suggestions.

• Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:

• Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
• Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
