You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Balles2601,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.

•  Comment It is a problem of probably related to English. For English speakers, "specimen" means a naturalized specimen. It would be good, for the living, to use the term "imago". --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nice photo, but oversaturated in post-processing. Is the correct taxonomy Chazaria incarnata as on Wikipedia? If not the article could be moved. Also Wikipedia indicates different flight time; this should be corrected as the image was taken in May. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
• Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".

•  Comment Thanks Charlesjsharp. Yes, the article in Wikipedia should be changed; Heliothis incarnata is the right taxon (Chazaria seems to be a synonym). According to the flight time, where did you find the mistake? As you say, it was taken in May.
•  Comment Flight time is in Wikipedia article. Archaeodontosaurus - shall we move Wiki article? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Heliothis incarnata is the correct name. For saturation it is necessary to increase the luminosity of 12 on the red it takes a few seconds, this point is not much. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 18:37, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

File:Calocoris nemoralis 2601.jpg

Hi, Balles2601,

I nominated this photo at COM:QIC. There's been a response that suggests some edits. Have a look if you like.

All the best,

Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:15, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ikan Kekek, thank you very much for nominating the photo and notifying it to me. I have tried to change the image a bit, but it's not easy to enhance it much..., so I don't know if the nomination will succeed. Let's see what the other users think; maybe the first version was even better haha. Whatever happens, thank you again.

Kind regards. Balles2601 (talk) 21:58, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2023 voting is open!

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
