Question from Jan.Kamenicek

Why does File:New ice cracking on stone as tide goes out at Govik.jpg compete in the "Astronomy, satellite and outer space" category? --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:28, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

You're absolutely right, Jan Kameníček ! This photo was obviously not taken from satellite: this one shows some small pebbles under the ice. Cord., --Warp3 (talk) 02:21, 24 November 2022 (UTC).

Good catch. I've updated the category to "waters". — Rhododendrites ^talk |  03:54, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Ligatures in category titles

POTY 2021 "fortifications" category title with a ligature for "fi"

I was directed here when I talked about this in the Discord server. The title for "Castles and Fortifications" has a ligature on my system. The fix is to add a font-variant-ligatures: none; on the h2 element. Also, while I was looking at the source code I noticed the fallback font is "sans-serif", I think that should be "serif".

Question from Matthias Süßen

Why isn't https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corbusierhaus,_Berlin-msu-2021-2276-.jpg not listed? --Matthias Süßen (talk) 14:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

It will be part of POTY 2022 (next year). — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites. Thanks for your quick reply and explanation. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 08:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from S9uazs

Why can't I vote? I see the 'Vote' button greyed out. I tried to get to the vote several times but no luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S9uazs (talk • contribs) 15:48, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

It doesn't look like you have the required 75 edits across Wikimedia projects (see Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2021/Rules). Make some edits between now and January 1 to be eligible to vote for next year's POTY! :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:51, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from KaurKuut

Why do I see a global banner claiming "Help choose the best image of the year. View the finalists and vote for your favorite." when my account is ineligible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaurKuut (talk • contribs) 20:21, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from Smarteralec

What determined the order of pictures on the stage 2 voting page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smarteralec (talk • contribs) 10:09, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Smarteralec, it should be randomly shuffled every time you load the page. Legoktm (talk) 03:37, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
