I just visited Cohoes, NY this afternoon. I really love that beautiful city and would like to add a photo of its city hall. Would you consider editing this photo for inclusion as a thumbnail in voy:cohoes?
Either way, thank you very much for taking so many photos of Upstate New York!
By the way, I also visited Waterford, NY, and I think that even though it's less spectacular than Cohoes, it merits a Wikivoyage article, as it has a nice historic district, the canal is interesting (I saw a lock operated early this afternoon), and I visited a noteworthy vintage items store at the corner of 3rd and Broad and the nice coffee shop with all sorts of interesting maritime artifacts and memorabilia on the walls that's catty-corner from there. I probably won't start a voy:Waterford (New York) article tonight, but soon, and if you have things to add about that town, great. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:05, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I was able to give my little juniper project a new try today following your advice. Found a part of the bush with better background and even cheated by using a tripod. Unfortunately the light is already waning and even though I shot it at approximately the same hour as the first, I'm not sure it is enough for any higher marks. These little buggers really need some quality light to look their best, tiny as they are (the smallest ones just about 1 mm). But I'll get them some day! :) cart-Talk22:21, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Daniel, I had no idea you were planning to upload the processing I made of your photo. I thought you only wanted my opinion on how it could have looked if I fixed it. Anyway, I moved it to a more neutral name since an editor's name don't belong in the title, that should only be in the description of the file's page. In this case it could also be bewildering for the viewer since they might be looking for a cart in the photo when using the search box to find photos. --cart-Talk09:32, 18 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
not quite my perfect example, but at least it's FP ;)
Hi, I'd like to talk some more words with you about your opinion that animals blending into the background provides no wow for you personally on principle. I totally respect it, but I struggle to understand that in theory, for you, there would be no wow factor in any FPC showing animal camouflage, regardless of the novelty and interest such photographs can have (at least for me). I still would love to know from you whether you would oppose a FPC showing animals in their natural environment, perfectly obscured by camouflage alone. Let's say, the whole photo shows just desert with grass, but only on closer view you could find a dozen animals hidden in plain sight, not obscured by other objects. (I call this the "Where's Wally?" photo) Would you still oppose this? I can't and likely won't change your view on photography, but I wanted to give you imaginary examples of where I find your principle that lack of subject separation is automatically lack of wow for you too close-minded and seeming absurd considering the unique effect I think these photos can have on the viewer (and thus wowing), when seeing them in the FP gallery, wondering what is so special about a boring nature scene, but then fining the animals all well hidden from predators. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! – LucasT07:54, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

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

Hey Don,
While your work is altogether really stellar, I'm really not sure if so many entities should be placed in "Buildings in..." categories. For example, entities like the FDR complex and the CIA, both in Hyde Park, are inherently more than just a building or a collection of buildings, which is why people won't go to that section to look for things like what colleges and attractions are in the area. Maybe it should be in "Buildings in..." if it was also in another Hyde Park subcat, but otherwise it should definitely at least be in the Hyde Park cat. I think the same could go for notable/key structures like the town hall and post office/library, where people will think it would be in a much more prominent/relevant cat. ɱ(talk)23:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Summersky around midnight in Lysekil
We have daylight savings time here in Sweden right now and my camera recognize that. So technically, the silage and tractors photo was taken an hour earlier (7:10 pm) if you go by astronomical time. So not that late. ;) Since I was up late last night, I snapped this photo for you from my window to show what "real" midnight looks like at the moment. If the weather is fine on summer solstice a week or so from now, I'll see if I can go out and take a proper midnight photo that day. --cart-Talk09:36, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:W.carter I was in Trondheim, Norway in the summer once. The sun only set for about an hour and even then it wasn't totally below the horizon. It was eerie being up at 11pm and being in broad daylight. PumpkinSkytalk11:09, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@PumpkinSky: It depends on what you are used to. For me it is eerie and strange to have dark nights when it's warm outside. Feels strange every time I travel south. :) Sorry for loitering on your talk page, Daniel. --cart-Talk11:13, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Summer sky at 12:45 a.m. in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada
@W.carter: You can loiter on my talk page all you want . That picture is what 9:30 p.m. looks like around here at the moment (and yes, we're on daylight savings/summer time as well). We have only five hours of real, sun-more-than-18º-below-the-horizon night this time of year.
@PumpkinSky: I've been further north than Trondheim. That's 12:45 a.m. in Inuvik, the largest town in the Canadian Arctic (or, OK, just to the south of Inuvik). After that picture, we went whitewater rafting and camping under that continuous sun in Ivvavik National Park for two weeks. Based on that experience, you can get used to it (but if you're in a tent with translucent white walls best to use a sleep mask ... sometimes even this time of year if I'm sleeping in it's a good thing too), although it doesn't stop being cool. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
That's quite interesting. I hear the mosquitos up there in the summer are really bad too. Trondheim is the furthest north I've been on land but I've been up past the northern tip of Norway on ships.PumpkinSkytalk15:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@PumpkinSky: You have heard correctly about the mosquitoes. I'm sure if they had a mosquito Olympics, the North American Arctic team would easily kick the Florida team's ass (or whatever the appropriate body part would be), and then based on what I've heard they would in turn find themselves being used to mop up the floor by the Siberian team. https://www.flickr.com/photos/133250546@N06/21261774219/in/pool-2881294@N22/ Here's a photo of me, from the nose up, under attack one "evening"].
Ironically, that was the last day of the trip where they were really a problem ... that had been a day with 80-degree temperatures (Yes! 200 miles above the Arctic Circle—I actually took my only swim (such as it was) in the Firth that day), and within a day or two, it got considerably cooler (more like late September in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic USA) and as such the mosquitoes slowly reduced their presence to the point that well before we reached the Beaufort Sea they were happily a memory.
While looking at that photo may make you start to involuntarily scratch, shake and swat randomly, I was actually not getting bitten much thanks to the 30% DEET repellent I was wearing, which is pretty much de rigeur if you are outside and away from any large human settlement (i.e., downtown Inuvik) in that part of the world at that time of year. The Tilley hat and sunglasses are also being worn partly for defensive purposes.
You don't have to go far north in the US to experience really late sunsets this time of year. I remember a few years ago being in South Bend, IN, about as far west as you can get in the Eastern Time Zone, during early July, and feeling a little anxious as the sun stayed above the horizon until almost 9 p.m., a half-hour later than it does around here at its latest (anxious because I thought we had strayed into Central Time without realizing it). Apparently at the solstice that city enjoys sunsets at 9:22 p.m.. And if you go farther north but still stay on Eastern Time, to Marquette, MI, you can at the solstice enjoy a 9:46 p.m. sunset and astronomical twilight that persists until after midnight (making it theoretically possible to duplicate cart's picture above).
International Falls, MN and Bellingham, WA don't have sunsets quite so late ... but they do have dark-gray nights where it only gets to astronomical twilight, so if you look north at midnight or so you can see that bluish glow on the horizon and maybe even some reflected sunlight or dusk on a cloud near it if the angle is right. That little strip south of the western Canadian border is about the only place in the continental US where you can experience this sort of not-quite-night.

Hey Daniel,
Checking in about what you foresee as a timeline for nominating the Christmas lights photos for deletion. I'd like to see it happen sooner rather than later, since as I said over at the fpc I'm not really psyched about the idea of a bunch of pictures in limbo, opposed at FPC because they might be nominated someday and there might be support for deleting. I can nominate one of my own as a test case, even. Based on all of the past threads I could find, and the handful of responses I solicited, my hunch is there will not be support for deletion, however (this was part of my decision to upload them to begin with). — Rhododendritestalk | 05:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

@W.carter: The first time I visited Berlin, in 1988, what was then West Berlin was, of course, enclosed by a wall. That first night I was determined to see it for myself. So I walked out of our hotel, along the Ku'damm, and then figured that whatever way I walked I'd hit it at some point.
And believe it or not I did ... no, this isn't a story where I spend all night walking in the wrong direction; I actually got there within an hour, although looking at the map I'm not sure if I did it on foot or via the U-bahn. Probably the latter, but whatever way I went I went up a disused block of Wilhelmstrasse, noticed that just ahead there was a point where a dark line slashed across the street and the street lights resumed some distance beyond it. I had, indeed, found the wall just by striking out toward it. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Daniel,
just read that you withdrew your images from Cape Town on the QI candidates page. If you have raw files, I think there is a good chance to make QI images from them. The dust problem on the sensor might be a bit annoying. But in the sky it can be fixed easily. If I can help you with finding good raw processing parameters, just provide an example raw image. (Is there any space to exchange temporary files just for QI-related discussion?)
I will make the same offer to U, if you overhand an DNG-file, I will check it out from my side.
A new development is still the view from foreign eyes, but I really not understand what happened in your ACR (digital darkroom). I believe some settings are overdosed... The keywords for the main technical issues are "bevels", "edge enhancement", "edge sharpening", german words "Kantenbruch" or "Kantenumsetzung" hope we will find the correct parameter to fix it. I need DNG for keep it objective (new version 11.1 since End of last year) DNG included data from your equipment (lens AND sensor, ok dust too ;-). I have a wishlist
1) Lion's_Head_from_Signal_Hill_in_winter_morning_light
2) Lion's Head from the slopes of Table Mountain
- I will not make a pledge if I have time this week, but I will do it.
Only issue is transfer-space, maybee Google-Drive. I overhand psd-files with different layers (will be big size). I don´t know a better way to show different ways of PS-Work around.

@Daniel Case: ː Daniel, I AM NIKON, too and I know your sensor. Sometimes it´s better to convert it with your own machine, to get additional exif from lens. I can work with NEF but feel free to check out DNG (digital negative) from adobe. It´s free and real basis. Sorry for writing the wiki-articel about ACR only in german, have to translate it one day. See "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Camera_Raw" embedded articles from adobe are english, see "http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/understanding_digitalrawcapture.pdf" the download you will find at the wiki-page, too (Version 11.1) I updated the urls today...

Yuup, besser ist dasǃ Do it pls--Hans-Jürgen Neubert 19:23, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
@Hans-Jürgen Neubert: Es könnte etwas schwieriger sein, als ich dachte. Actually, I just checked and discovered that option isn't available (My guess is that there are some proprietary features in the .NEF format (Nikon, as you probably know, has that Capture software that it markets with some features exclusive to it; I guess that's what it is) that couldn't be stripped out without seriously damaging the file.
Keep calm, old Dudeǃ Listen some old rock (for example Atomic Rooster, [Made in England], Time take my Life) or [Vivaldi, Stooges, just what u need] and don´t get stressed. A NEF is the origin ("Mutter") file format. DNG is open source and free minded (which vary from one raw converter to another) it is generating a doublette, doesn´t make only one change in your origin RAW-file. Btw I like Nikon, but I hate the creepy software. Capture is a mass (bullshit). For example WLAN is still a battery-war and they don´t fixed GPS with professional bodys. With the tablet solution it´s easy to fix geodata. My gps-mouse have costs about more then 300€ and it´s shity slow and NOT exact (grrrr)... get your own experienceǃ Saludos, Hans-Jürgen
@Hans-Jürgen Neubert: Alright, I have converted about seven of the raw files that I used to .DNGs. Would you like me to put them somewhere in the cloud where you can get them? I have some options available to me, but if you would prefer some space of your own choice, let me know where.
By the way I took my camera to a shop to have the sensor cleaned. They were only able to blow out the dust, however, as some of the marks are from metal shards and they did not feel comfortable wiping them off because they could scratch the sensor. At least they didn't charge for what they could do.
As for the shards, they said to ask Nikon, so I'm waiting for an email back from them.
This might mean it's time to start using, at least for a while, the D800 I took these pictures with (Yes, it's newer but you know, you get used to the camera you've been using for a few years and you don't just give up on it ). Daniel Case (talk) 06:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Daniel Case: Hello Daniel, it´s up to you. The two Lion-Head I will work out you can send by mail (see my commons page for adress). I will upload the psd-files at my google drive for sharing. You can start with your space to. Never mindǃ--Hans-Jürgen Neubert 10:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
First Lion´s Head you can download here (psd-file) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gST1ri7xJVqsf-Sl3c4PeYZfXplZb0jd I only do not understand why Dxo can´t read exif from your jpeg and DNG?? Need NEF, too. Sorry for bother. I documented ACR Settings in additional word, like a recipe. The Hipa-Layer shows a way of sharpening, it´s not a must, more a add. screw like a gearwheel.

Saw you listed under "regrets" for WikiDay tomorrow. Thought I'd let you know, then, that at least your work will be there. :) As last year, I've compiled some stand-out images of NY by NY Commons photographers and included these: cascade, cairn, tracks, Speedway, and pond. — Rhododendritestalk | 23:21, 12 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Daniel. I’m contacting you because you described yourself as "a very active Commons categorizer". I’ve been doing a lot of categorizing of images in Category:Images from Cleveland Museum of Art and I can’t help but feel that almost everything I’m doing could be more efficiently and systematically done in an automated or at least semi-automated fashion. For all I know what I’m asking about is already possible (or because of some technical limitation is not possible), but I’m just not tuned-in enough to know, so forgive me if what I’m about ask seems clueless.

Hi Daniel, I'm wondering what the !vote and !votes you are writing in your FPC comments are doing, I wasn't able to find documentation about this notation here on Commons. Regards – Lucas07:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Lucasbosch: Some people, myself included, use the exclamation point before "vote" on-wiki to acknowledge that sheer numbers are not the way we decide things (otherwise it would be too easy for people to just drive loopholes right through policy, even if inadvertently), that our expressions of favor or disfavor for something must also include, even if by reference, our reasons why or why not, since it is really about consensus rather than majority. See here for another statement about this. Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 29 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sorry but I don't really understand your reason here, I don't see a issue. First: The images is available under a free license here, and now on Flickr also. Second: the photo was never under a non-free license (all rights reserved is just a default choice if you forget to choice a license), even if I uploaded the photo on web page without any information the photo will still be "all rights reserved" since photos are protected by copyright. I have uploaded 1000s of photos under free licenses and I think it is a bit ridiculous to talk about a "right issue" here.--ArildV (talk) 18:45, 10 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Bronze statue of Mao Zedong at National Museum of China.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Tracks are for Trains - What prompted the template?
@ShakespeareFan00: What prompted it was seeing an awful amount of pictures taken by people from on tracks. At around the same time, OLI was beginning a campaign to warn people against doing that for their social media feeds. I thought it was a good idea here, too, and we copied the wording of that campaign. Daniel Case (talk) 14:21, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I will also mention that there has been some concern in the UK rail enthusiast press about 'vidiots' ( i.e people taking video on phones, photographers and so on being in unsafe positions.). This included a minority at enthusiast events, that should have known better. Do you plan on encouraging wider use of the message on other sites? My thought would be to try and get the 'Trainsim' community aware as well. In the early 2000's I encouraged a community of train-sim developers to put the message 'There's nothing Virtual about Serious injury! Real Trains Kill!' in banner ads on their sites along with appropriate commentary, but the original site that was the hub page of that campaign is no longer online sadly.

Another Reviewer Barnstar
For your outstanding reviews on the FPC page. I have learned a lot from your comments on photographs, whether you praise or point out problems. Your hints on the composition, on the colours etc. hit the nail on the head and often make clear in a few words what I have somehow sensed but have not seen clearly. Your contributions therefore contribute a great deal to making the FPC page not (just) a competition for featured images, but a great place to learn. --Aristeas (talk) 15:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
PS, to avoid misunderstandings: This is not (only) a ‘thank you’ for your last ‘support’ vote on one of my photos. Your comment has just reminded me that I have been wanting to thank you for a long time for all of your FPC comments, including any critical ones, so I finally did it ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 15:35, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

@Brianjd: Thanks for the reminder—at the time I uploaded them we had barely started putting those tags on images. I put {{Consent}} tags on them with the "public" argument since they were both taken in public spaces. Since they're from behind and you can't see the subjects' faces, I didn't think {{Personality rights}} was necessary. Daniel Case (talk) 16:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

IMHO the FPX brick is not meant to give the final kick to an already unsuccessful nomination. It’s the nominator’s choice to withdraw it any time. FPX is meant for freshly nominated images showing issues which cannot be tolerated on FPC – such as too small / unsharp / tilted / pixelpulp – to spare them an exhausting series of opposes. The image in question is not that bad at all, and wasn’t a clearly losing candidate from the beginning IMHO. "does not fall into our guidelines because it does not look likely to succeed" is a weird reason. --Kreuzschnabel15:08, 11 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just some information for you: My edit on w:wp:Village dump was an accident and I didn’t intend for vandalism, I just thought it would be a cool page, and had no knowledge of it being used by trolls, could you please unblock me? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 22:37, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
OK, I looked at that range. Yes, I have blocked it for a rather long time. But there are other problematic edits from the IP besides the ones to "Village Dump" which make the case for an unblock a little more complicated.
You have edited Commons and other Foundation wikis productively under this username. How come you've never created an account at enwiki? I realize now that the block may be preventing that, but you've had the opportunity for a while. I mean, if you wanted to do that, it might be easier that way. Daniel Case (talk) 05:07, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know of every edit under that range was made by me, but at the time I didn't really understand the system, now I am much more experienced. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 05:11, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also the reason I kept creating pages with new requests and questions is because of two reasons:
1) Since I was blocked from editing pages other than my Talk Page every time my IP changed I would have to create a new page.
@Ilovemydoodle: I read them; I understand. I am thinking of talking to the admin who made the original block to see what he thinks. I would answer at some length but it's getting late by US Eastern time and I have to get up early for work tomorrow and I want to get some other things done before bed). Daniel Case (talk) 05:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Just so you know: I also live in upstate New York. Also, could you talk to him? (there are some edits I have been waiting a long time to make) – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 05:31, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Ilovemydoodle: That's why it's easier in those situations to have an account. I wish we could create talk pages for ranges, but they'd be treated as regular user account talk pages and thus the blocked IPs could not use them.
Since we've been more willing to block /64 ranges of late, since ISPs give them out more with the idea that a single user will be assigned them, that is an issue we should address (but it's beyond my pay grade, unfortunately). Daniel Case (talk) 05:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I meant that I would do it ... as an admin who has blocked a lot of people, I'd like to think my opinion would carry some weight. But of course if you can join in you should, and I won't be starting that discussion just yet.
(I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond yesterday ... my workday was longer than expected, I didn't get much sleep beforehand and then of course the weather was unseasonably cool. I finally got home, ate a belated dinner, watched TV with my wife and then I just couldn't stay awake any more (especially since I had to get up earlier again.

@69.206.44.221: I was there that day; I still very much remember taking that image with the camera credited in the metadata. I do not remember anyone else being there, save my son sitting in my nearby parked car. It isn't perfect; I wish the sun had not been where it was, but it depicts the lake and that's what counts.
I do not not understand why you insist you took that image ... it has always existed in purely digital form (I don't have the original memory card anymore; there was no print original). Perhaps you took one that seems very similar? I assure you then it is a coincidence. I'd be interested in seeing it.
I note that your IP resolves to the Kingston area ... perhaps you can email me via the link on my user page? This is not the best way to discuss this. Daniel Case (talk) 06:25, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Happy holidays, Daniel Case!
Hello Daniel Case, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure to have you as a fellow Wikimedian this year. Wherever you are, enjoy the festive season and stay warm (if you're north of the Tropic of Cancer)! Your help in maintaining, improving and expanding Wikimedia Commons will always be appreciated.
Maybe it should be "petrified wood from the United States". "In", to me, in English, means "physically within" in that sense, at the time the photo was taken.
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.
@Radomianin: Thank you very much! I'm sure you're wondering where I've been from FAC the last couple of months; I've been a) getting over computer problems, b) focusing on articles I've been working on for a while and c) distracted by the extra administrative work created by the Israel-Hamas war. But I do intend to get back to FAC soon ... I miss it! Meanwhile, very happy end-of-year holidays to you! Our time in Singapore was very well spent! Daniel Case (talk) 06:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for your message, Daniel. I understand that other tasks are more primary and important, especially concerning the terrible war in Israel or the one in Ukraine. Take your time and when you return to FPC you will be welcomed with open arms. Yes, the Wikimania in Singapore was a great experience and our personal conversations are among my highlights. It was a real pity that I could only be there for a few days because of my work. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! See you soon :) -- Radomianin (talk) 08:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
@W.carter: God Jul to you too! If you've been wondering about my relative absence from Commons the last couple of months, I explained it to Radomianin above. And once again, I do see it as being temporary ... I'll make a New Year's resolution to return.
Really good to hear from you again! Yes, you are missed and certainly not forgotten. :-) I had figured out that you had things to take care of on en-WP, but didn't know the extent of it. We'll keep the porch light on for you until you return to FPC. --Cart(talk)07:14, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Daniel! Thank you very much for your comment on my photograph of Kristina Inhof at Wikimania 2024 while I was watching the stream on Youtube. I feel more than honoured! I‘m not in Katowice but in case you meet her you could give Ailura a hug!

You’re welcome! Ailura told me about how she was there when you took it … I haven’t seen her around yet today but when I do I will give her the hug.

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.
If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.
Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Just FYI I reverted your category edits because it was in fact September 2010 when the image was taken, as indicated in the summary information. That camera had an internal clock that reset to July 2002 every time the battery died and I just got tired of resetting it. Just Step Sideways (talk) 21:24, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! You uploaded this and licensed it GFDL. However, Commons no longer allow files licensed only GFDL since 2018. Perhaps you could also add cc-by-sa-4.0 for example? MGA73 (talk) 11:36, 11 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey Daniel, I tried to edit a Wikipedia page today for probably the first time in 15 years, because it had extremely offensive /inflammatory content, which I’ve screenshotted, and I got a notification that you’ve blocked me from editing? Why? The reason listed was something related to Cool Hand Luke, which I’ve never seen and whose page I’ve never tried to edit. Now wiki won’t let me create an account or log in because you’ve blocked me. I’m a NY resident and US citizen. What gives you the right to block me, btw, just curious? I’ve donated to Wikipedia multiple times over the last two decades. Please explain. Maybe instead you could block the person who edited a lawmaker’s page to have inflammatory political content today. 2600:1017:B42C:29DD:90B1:9081:B47E:F3A316:26, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you look at the block message, you'll see it was a rangeblock (it ends with /40), which means it applies to a user or users who was/were on a dynamic IP who has, based on the history of that block and the IPs on the range, repeatedly used that range to edit disruptively. This unfortunately happens a lot more with IPv6 addresses, as they were designed to be used that way by ISPs.
It has nothing to do with you personally (in fact, no IP block, even to a static IP, is meant to target individual users, as who uses them can and does change over time). For that reason we never block IPs indefinitely (although we can and do block for long terms, as you can see from this block).
The current block ends next month and I am disinclined to lift it before then because of its history of renewed abuse every time the block has expired in the past. I am sorry that you have been inconvenienced because of this. You have other options, such as creating a registered account or using a different set of IPs (i.e., another computer, like one at a library or college), to make your edit if it's still necessary (and if the vandalism you describe is still there, feel free to leave a link here).

This is a message for Daniel Case. Daniel, I am an 81 year old man (a living person) whose reputation, and whose charity's reputation, are being maliciously and knowingly severely damaged on Wikipedia by statements that can be proven to be untrue. And as far as I can see, you have frozen the page containing the untrue statements. I wrote to Wikipedia about this, but received a very unhelpful answer from a bot. I suspect you would not want to be part of this damage, which comes at a very sensitive time in the work of the charity, when many children could lose out on benefits due to the demonstrable lies of a vindictive ex-employee who has waged a campaign against us for nearly two years. I am not skilled in navigating Wikipedia, and should instead be focused on the children whose lives I can potentially transform. Is there any way of disussing this by email or telephone? You can reach me on LinkedIn at
https://www.linkedin.com/in/transforminglocalareassociallyeconomicallyandhealthandfundingthattransformation?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app
Sorry it's so long. I am an experienced clinical criminologist and trauma therapist, but not very good at technology.
The 'frozen' page is for the charity WAVE Trust. The untrue, libellous comments have been repeatedly posted on both that page and my personal page, George Hosking. Below is where I think you 'locked' the page - certainly I have contacts who have been unable to remove the libellous content in recent weeks, so it sits there.
I have now reported this matter to the UK Police, as the actions of the person (a disgruntled ex-employee of the charity) who has been repeatedly posting this material on both sites since April 2025 are a criminal offence under the UK 2006 Fraud Act.

Yes, that's the one I had been thinking it was (I don't have a LinkedIn account and have no plans to, so I couldn't really respond there).
It isn't locked so much as restricted from being edited by users whose accounts are a) less than 4 days old and b) have made less than 25 edits. We very rarely fully protect a page, and even then usually for just short durations.
The content you are objecting to, whatever the truth may be behind it, was published in a news outlet we consider to be a reliable source. If that source, or other reliable sources, report something different, of course that should be added to the article.
It is interesting that one of the very documents uploaded by the person making these false statements (knowing them to be false) actually proves that both of the repeated claims he has been making, which he claims are endorsed by documentation, are disproved by his own documenttation. Presumably Wikipedia does not have time to check all supposed confirmation documents. The offender has repeatedly posted on both my personal page and the WAVE Trust page the WAVE does not consider child sexual abuse to be an adverse childhood experience (ACE). Yet the following is an extract from his uploaded document:
SECTION G: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE While the target for a 70% reduction by 2030 – the 70/30 target – has not been set for Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), it is a pernicious and hugely damaging experience for any child, probably much more so than physical abuse. WAVE and the Cross Party Group share a 15 commitment to prevent and reduce CSA and welcome any contributions which would help create a major reduction in levels of CSA. The following four questions invite evidence-based contributions."
A second document, which is part of the same reference document, has the text of a letter from me to John SWinney, now First Minister of Scotland. The letter clearly states that I invite John Swinney to devote 31 minutes of his time to watching a video (which provides policy evidence I thought would be very helpful to him, and which was commissioned by a Police and Crime Commissioner); and that I offer to make a payment to a charity of his choice if he were to watch the video. The person who is harrassing us repeatedly states that I offered money directly to Mr Swinney in return for a meeting with him - which his own "evidence" proves is a false statement. Mt Swinney did not watch the video, but we did meet. No money was paid to anyone.
It is true that in 2022 a Scottish regional newspaper published an article in which someone they interviewed made the false claim that WAVE did not believe child sexual abuse to be an ACE. I wrote to the newspaper immediately requesting a correction. They refused on the grounds that it was written by their top reporter and she did not make mistakes. I decided - wrongly in hindsight - not to waste time fighting this and to get on with what I devote 60 hours a week to - stopping child abuse. I can provide a published 2013 report by WAVE - published jointly with the UK Government - which clearly states that WAVE believes child sexual abuse is an adverse childhood experience. Could you post that on the two pages for the sake of truth? We also have scores of other documents which state the same, but most are not published to the public, but commissioned by local authorities and Health Boards.
