Aviation Infrastructure and development that is relevant in the sphere of aviation. This would encompass buildings such as airports, terminals, towers, and hangers. It would also include infrastructure that is necessary for flight operations such as runways, airstrips, and helipads.

Black dolls

There are very little examples of black dolls. We would need more. There wasn't even a category until I found the nice painting below by a female painter from the Netherlands from around 1935. There is an article on WP. This surely is a gap in the Commons media. The danger in this are the stereotypes, thats history now, I hope. Ellywa (talk) 23:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 Comment While I would like to support this idea because I think it is an important topic and indeed a gap, I also see huge problems concerning copyright here. Unfortunately most toys are copyrighted and bringing pictures of them to commons is not possible. --Kritzolina (talk) 12:41, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose I agree with Kritzolina, and also think it is too narrow. --Jarekt (talk) 21:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Abstract photography

An abstract photo does not have an immediate association with the object that was photographed - it can be an isolated fragment of an object, or it may be staged to create an unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of colour, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbuske46 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Ice

As the cold season is coming to the Northern hemisphere, I thought we could do another weather related challenge. The good thing about ice is, people who do not live in climates where it gets icy could do icecubes or similar artificially produced ice. --Kritzolina (talk) 20:18, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Brianjd, Five of them. I am just trying to find a time-frame when a given theme will maximize your changes for a good photograph. I assume that less than 1/3 of the photos will be related to any pride events, but that is still better month for most people than any other. Also I think it is good to celebrate pride month and that challenge is a good way to do it, the Commons way.

Tents and Tent-Equipment

The idea came to me as it is the vacation time and lots of friends are going camping - but tents are so much more than only modern camping tents. There are many different kinds of tents from high-tech bivouacs, to traditional yurts, from emergency shelters to big beer tents for gatherings. We have some good pictures, but surely we could have more. --Kritzolina (talk) 16:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

  Indeed, the example images come from six different countries, none of which are China, and two of which are not even in Asia. Brianjd (talk) 13:19, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

  I thought it might be a good challenge for February 2023. But since the following Chinese New Year (a common interpretation of ‘lunar new year’) starts on 31 January 2024 10 February 2024, perhaps this would be a good challenge for February 2024. Brianjd (talk) 08:05, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

lunar new year 2023 fell on 22 jan, but 2024 will be on 10 feb, so this theme is better for feb 2024 than this year. even the 10 days before LNY would have plenty of things to photograph, like preparations, decorations... RZuo (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia has changed the date since I last checked, and it looks like the new date is correct. February 2024 is definitely the right month for this theme. Brianjd (talk) 08:55, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

One of the example images, Marina-Bay Singapore Firework-launching-CNY-2015-03.jpg, has serious problems with its licensing notices. I have notified the uploader. We should aim for high-quality examples with high-quality descriptions, especially if we are presenting them as examples for new users to follow! Brianjd (talk) 12:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

•  Support By the way, we can clarify that it doesn't have to be the new moon found in late January/early February; the first day of the year according to any lunar calendar is acceptable, e.g. Rosh Hashanah or Hijri New Year. (But February is still the best time to hold the contest, given that the East Asian Lunar New Year is the most commonly celebrated one in the world.) -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
