I would like to apologise for this edit (Mobile 📱) as I didn't see that it was a legitimate name change.

Hello

Why out of scope? MiguelAlanCS (talk) 16:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello MiguelAlanCS! My apologies, the theme is very vague. Is this image under "Festivals, ceremonies and rituals"? There are many uploads from people with couple images. But if this is under wedding photos, please let me know. Best Regards Wikilover90 (talk) 16:03, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello again, the image is about a festival celebrated in the Spanish city of Teruel, which celebrates love. It is a recreation of a medieval legend of the 12th century whose peak moment is a kiss between the two lovers. I pass links to you to see that the photos have to do with the reason for the contest. 1, 2 and 3. Regards! MiguelAlanCS (talk) 16:18, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you so much for clarifying! Appreciate it! I have made the relevant changes! Best Wishes and love from Team Wiki Loves Love! Wikilover90 (talk) 16:20, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Why out of scope??? Stop it!

Hi, I am very upset because I saw that you put my photograph into the category "out of scope". There is no acceptable reason for that action! Why did you do that? What is wrong with a photo of Valentine Day flowers? If you don't know about Valentine Day and its customs, please keep your fingers away from the keyboard. --Maimaid (talk) 18:23, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Out of scope - how?

Lover’s Leap
friendship and love

You have categorized these two images as "Out of scope images from Wiki Loves Love 2019". Could you tell how? Concept says "monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love". 1st image is monument as named "Lover’s Leap". You can google it read and use google map to locate the spot. 2nd image "tender gesture". I would to hear your explanation for rejecting these images as "Out of scope". --AntanO 16:35, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Apologies AntanO. The theme of Wiki Loves Love is all manner of festivals, celebrations, ceremonies and rituals of love across the continents in different cultures and regions. The monuments and gestures sadly were not in 2019 iteration of Wiki Loves Love. Wikilover90 (talk) 16:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Did you read Commons:Wiki Loves Love 2019 under "Concept"? It says monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love. --AntanO 16:47, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
@AntanO: You are correct the concept of the project accepts monuments and tender gesture. Regarding Wikilover90's assessment the images the user is reviewing is as per the competition scope. The competition scope can be found at Commons:Wiki Loves Love 2019#Competition scope: examples to get inspired. As per the competition scope these images does not qualify the theme i.e. document all manner of festivals, celebrations, ceremonies and rituals of love across the continents in different cultures and regions. If you feel that the these images fit in our competition scope please do explain us. Thank you for your contribution to Wikimedia Commons. --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 05:55, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
It's funny that scope and example are difference! I already explained how the image fit with scope, but you give rational for scope's example. :) --AntanO 02:26, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your participation in Wiki Loves Love 2019

Wiki loves love 2019 has ended and team Wiki Loves Love sends you greetings and appreciation for joining us in spreading love around the globe and documents how love is expressed in different cultures.

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

  • I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
  • Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
  • Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

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:

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:

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)
