Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen[edit]
Hallo A.-K. D.,
nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.
Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.
Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.
Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

Hello A.-K. D., you have created this category which appears to be neither well-defined nor helpful. Actually the three pictures you added to this category depict three different stones while the singular category name suggests that there is just one stone of interest. The file descriptions also stress the point that we have multiple stones of this kind around Kilnaruane shaft. In addition, these changes violate COM:OVERCAT as all three files of this category are also still in the superior category Category:Kilnaruane. I suggest that we delete this category and undo these changes. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 09:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fair enough, they are different. I have renamed it into plural and added a description. Category:Kilnaruane Stone may be deleted.A.-K. D. (talk) 11:56, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, that's better and I've deleted the singular category. Please take also care of the COM:OVERCAT problem. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 18:41, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,
You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in Round 1 of the 2022 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. 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 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.
In this second and final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2022.
Round 2 will end at UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

- Could you explain what you mean by that? I had permission from the lady at the ticket office to take pictures, and there is a whole category for the interior of the windmill. Are you nominating all those photos for deletion? A.-K. D. (talk) 09:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
