Super Rugby Pics
[edit]Hey, those were some pretty good pics you took and uploaded here, i have added them the category Category:2013 Super Rugby season, I was even able to crop some of those High-Def pics and provide headshots for some of the Bulls and Brumbies players, was wondering if you took more this season and if you were willing to upload them to commons?....its not important if it only features Bulls rugby players, as long as we have a lot of pics featuring rugby players..I have been waiting years for some fan to upload Super Rugby pics....we have a lot of Top 14 and Heineken Cup pictures but no Super Rugby....--Stemoc (talk) 09:56, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hi
Thank you very much for the complement unfortunately this was the only game that I have attended this year and was only playing with my camera I was sitting far from the field and light was also against me reason for noise.
And I did not think of publish them on commons if it wasn’t for my colleague who asked me to do so, I do have more of the same game if you want me to up load them please let me know
Regards --PHParsons (talk) 13:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
- Upload them all if you like, they could get used in different language wikis as well..and some can be cropped and used as headshots for players...It would also be nice to have more pics from Super Rugby here as well...The biggest club rugby competition in the world barely has any pictures here :) ..if you have friends who go to games and take pictures for fun, invite them to upload as well :) ....--Stemoc (talk) 14:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
