Video, Audio prizes unclear

I’m not sure how the following prize is supposed to work: "Video, Audio prize: 25 USD, 25 USD". Is it a single prize each? That seems very little compared to images, which seem to require less effort. Or is it the top 15 of each? Then there’s this line at the bottom "There will be 15 winning Pictures/Videos." but I’m counting 18 image prizes (1, 2, 3 and 15 consolation), and what about audio? 2001:18C0:1000:18:60ED:CC82:73E0:F955 06:43, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello ! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This has been fixed on the main contest page. As for the prizes, I agree but this was decided after receiving very low amount of submissions in video and audio category in the contest last year. We hope we can see more media uploaded in different formats. Thanks! Wikilover90 (talk) 12:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Ethical considerations

I am sorry to say that the organizers of this contest really lack an ethical overview and cultural originality of what Wikimedia volunteering and principles are. How do you dare to give cash money to the winners? This is how do you consider that participating in free knowledge should be rewarded? I am ashamed of the banners in several wikis redirecting to this project that destroys the perception of non-economical benefits of contributing to Wikipedia. --Xavier D. (Messages) 07:25, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Can't you get the economical benefits ?, WMF needs to pay only the top 15 participants. Rest images are free of cost, WMF makes us sign an agreement while uploading, uploader can't revoke the license. In my opinion these competitions are best way to get high quality content by showing them incentives (cash). You can't get these many images for this amount on stock images website. Organizers lack ethics ? Are you serious? They are working on this project for free, isn't that enough for you. What more do you want ? And how dare you question the ethics of volunteers (they don't get paid for this) ? You think they are working for T-shirts and a piece of paper (Certificates) ? If that's what you think, you don't deserve to question ethics of others. -- Eatcha (talk) 09:08, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

First of all, if the first question that you pose yourself are the economical benefits and you think that incentives like cash are the way to do, then you completely took wrong the Wikimedia projects. Secondly, the WMF has nothing to do with signing any agreement when you upload pictures, Wikimedia Commons is a sovereign project and the WMF just curates it as a server administrator. Don't mix an organization like the WMF with the principles of the project, please. Thirdly, it is a permanent problem of some of the movement members to constantly compare free-knowldege project with profit companies: it is obvious that Commons is not made to compete with stock websites and even less by ofering cash to participants, as Wikipedia is not made to compete with Google. Finally: yes, I do dare to question the lack of ethics of these kind of contests since 1) the moment that they overlap many options of cultural rewards with simple money, and 2) when multiple wikis that face and despise paid-editing are being spammed without permission with banners promoting a contest that their communities have not approved to take place. --Xavier D. (Messages) 12:41, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Xavier Dengra: I'd say you are looking for a problem where there isn't any. As a potential contributor, I am not in the slightest offended by the money offer. It's similar to the WLM project - the aim is to draw new contributors AND/OR to reward the old ones. Sure, it would be possible to honor the winners with a badge or a shirt, but frankly, money is far more versatile mean of reward (actually, it even suits an international project better, since not every type of physical gift would be equally useful in various regions - and in the end, those little trinkets will eventually turn to dust-catchers on our shelves). And if this all results into more pictures in our databases... Well, I don't see any problem here.--GeXeS (talk) 16:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Everyone involved in this metaliterary history: can we please all calm down? and say less? at this point? because I'm preeetyy sure everyone here knows one of three things. 1) this is all very hilarious. that we are seriously arguing. over dead white men.¹ 2) we have all opened our third eye to the fact that we are living in the year 2020, and thus, we see that this our century now.² 3) we can all have our own theories about world peace and simply coexist, as we should. because our extinction is lowkey on the line, at this point.³

ahhhhh, and now that I've got this in my own records, zipped and password protected in a folder including this .txt file along with screenshots of this very webpage, a short video from my iPhone 11 simply detailing the vibrations you are currently experiencing, among other things, with that zipped, password protected folder in the inboxes of every professor at georgia state university within the african american studies and women's gender and sexuality departments, I will humbly accept my honorary doctorate from harvard university in one of three points in my life: 1) in 199.9 days. 2) sometime during my lifetime. 3) orrrrrrrrr post-posthumously. thank you.

post post script. I will remove my data from this webpage in exactly three days, give or take. if I'm not there to do so, please, for the love of all things, someone do so for me. because uhhhh. idk if you know this, but, historically speaking, when people with my skin tone have led people from that allegory. the cave? they've been met with that reality that sometimes even the noblest of dreams might never be realized unless we work for it. in fact, I'm pretty sure that any faiths without works is dead in the water. so go swimming. but have some self control (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85oydtm-Cb0 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkZ16y9WP8M & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hSQ9HYjM-w --Metaprotege (Messages) see: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc (UTC), 5:25 AM EST, february 4th, 2020 CE OR AD (or whatever you prefer).

this is so funny, but only if you approach it in a meta sense, like exclusively if you have, in youtube search terms, 24hr live lofi hip hop playing in the background.

welp. if you need me, I'll be on Duolingo learning Japanese and Esperanto. I sure can't wait till I get done reading The Art of Language Invention. :::::Maybe then will I read The Art of War.

How add files manually?

Hi, what template or category i could use to add it manually?. Thanks --Wilfredor (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Wilfredor: Hello! Thank you for the question. If you do not use the specialized upload wizard, please add the template {{Wiki Loves Love 2020}} to the files so that we can identify the image as part of the contest. See FAQ. Kind regards, — Tulsi Bhagat (contribs | talk) 05:13, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

With all respect, the contest's information lacks in some aspects; for instance, in what quality all sorts of media should be uploaded? Should the pic's sizes reduce? also, I was wondering that Wikipedia is going to use the media in its sites? Is any consent needed for the utilization of the media? Looking forward to your informative response. Best Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninmaz (talk • contribs) 19:09, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Ninmaz: ! These questions all have standard answers on Commons, which I guess is why the organisers didn’t mention them. Upload all photos in their original quality and resolution. When you upload to Commons you have to choose a “free” licence, which means you give consent for sites such as Wikipedia to use your images. See COM:LICENSING. GKFX^talk 02:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Finalists category

I think it's better to have a category of finalists. As there are huge number of entries, it would be helpful to us to identify selected entries easily. Shagil Kannur (talk) 07:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Shagil Kannur ! Thank you for your suggestion. The mentioned categories are in a way example of the kind of images that can flow in the contest. The main theme is folklore, which in essence is the folk culture of a region. In conclusion, the categories mentioned can give additional idea of what kind of things people can look for that can come in folklore photography (and other forms of documentation). Hope this helps!

Prizes - Certificate and T-Shirts

Hello, I want to ask regarding the text: "T-shirts and Certificates to International Team"

Does the "International Team" means us (contributors) or just people who listed in International Team page? If those prize goes to us, you may get quite numbers of contributors here from Indonesia. Thanks! --Joo Nath (talk) 10:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey Joo Nath; am afraid the “International team” here refers to the team behind the setup of this contest who volunteered and work tirelessly to make sure the contest is well suited to accommodate your entries and many others.. The shirts and certificates is not a compensation but only a token of appreciation for the work they put in to make this work.. But beyond all this; you and every other person from Indonesia have the chance of winning the cash prices stated(1st prize: 400 USD, 2nd prize: 300 USD, 3rd prize: 100 USD) and also getting a post card messages couple with other cash prices; I hope you will be able to carry the message so more folklore images from Indonesia can be share for the contest.

@L2212: Done. What you miss is translation administrator rights. Translation admins have an extra link to mark pages for translation.

Double check for first time uploader

I did my first ever upload to wikimedia for this contest, here

Tunbao village traditional mask dance in Ming era costumes

Could someone double check I did it right? I am not sure I got the categories right for example, I could find what to choose from Yinwang888 (talk) 19:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

About participation in the photo contest "Wiki loves folklore".

Good afternoon! Among the "Wiki loves folklore" category there is no Kazakh folklore. Why is Kazakhstan not involved? User:Салиха--Салиха (talk) 13:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Editing after uploading

I have already uploaded some of my photography in the contest "Wiki loves folklore 2020".Now can I edit the photo captions/descriptions after the final publication? If yes,then what is the procedure? Please help Deypayeli1995 (talk) 04:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

@Deypayeli1995: Of course you can (although you don’t have to)—this is a wiki, after all; just pay attention not to remove the contest’s tags. You can find all your uploaded files on this page; if you open a file’s description page (by tapping either the file name or the image itself), you’ll find various edit links to modify various parts of the description. If you have trouble with editing, feel free to ask at the help desk. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 10:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the information. Deypayeli1995 (talk) 10:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
