Picture of the Year voting round 1 open[edit]

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Screenshot licensing[edit]

Hello, please keep in mind that per Commons:Licensing, precise reproductions of copyrighted work, such as screenshots, are not considered "own work". I fixed the license tags for one of your images, but I ask you to do so for the other ones. Thanks. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 18:26, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info and note. Makes sense in a way. Since I do not do dual licensing I will remove the CC license as a consequence. Cheers --[[kgh]] (talk) 18:28, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Where do you want to remove the CC license? Do you mean the file I just edited? The GNU GPL tag is about the software, but it says "the author has released it under a free licence (which should be indicated beneath this notice)" in its text. Since the text on the website is licensed under CC-BY-SA, this needs to be represented with a corresponding tag as well. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 18:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I just re-licensed to match the license of the screenshot. I am not reusing the text or the images. Actually the images on that screenshot come with many different licenses and it also contains copyrighted material. --[[kgh]] (talk) 18:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the images aren't that important; see Commons:De minimis. However, as the wiki is mainly licensed under CC-BY-SA, I would keep the second license tag to follow the template text "Note: if the screenshot shows any work that is not a direct result of the program code itself [...], the licence for that work must be indicated separately." 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 18:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, man. To me this really sounds like perversion of justice. I personally see no reason why images are less important than the text. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the note. I will add the second applicable license to the screenshots. Different for every screenshot. Great. :| --[[kgh]] (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are digging in the abyss of licensing templates, I guess. :) However this template tells us: "To the uploader: Include always the authors and licenses of all images in the screenshot." which basically backs my original opinion. I conclude that it is basically nearly impossible to upload screenshots of websites to commons. I figured that it will be very helpful to illustrate a data object with a screenshot but go faith does not translate into good results. Probably I will add deletion requests to all screenshots I uploaded. --[[kgh]] (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that sucks. Maybe you could start a discussion on this insanity on Commons talk:Licensing or even on the village pump. Since in my eyes the usage of the images falls under the de minimis policy, that note in the template shouldn't be worded that strictly in the least. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:30, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed it does. I basically makes to impossible to upload screenshots of whatever kind to Commons. I posted on Commons talk:Licensing. Let's see what comes out of it. Cheers --[[kgh]] (talk) 08:58, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"heart warming ray of sun" here ...[edit]

Impressive! ( ref ).
Nice copy-cat "backfire" attempt. Blocking me on both SMW-github, and the SMW-wiki site (including the account-linked user-page) at the same time. (lol)
I guess that's your, and/or SMW's, way of saying "We don't what to hear from you again around SMW sites, ever".
Thanks for, again!, supporting what I already thought about SMW and the current individuals behind it.
Lets hope that it at least made you, and the other SMW "professional" "programmers", feel better. (it would other wise be a bit wasteful use of power in my view)
Take care. --MvGulik (talk) 16:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Wow, how cool it this. Seems I managed to choked up SMW in its propagation process. And 40+ categories are now permanently in locked mode.
Category "MyCategory" was altered and requires assigned entities to be reevaluated using a change propagation process. In the meantime, the category page has been locked until the primary specification update is completed to prevent intermediary interruptions or contradictory specifications. The process may take moment before the page can be unlocked as it depends on the size and frequency of the job queue scheduler.
No seemingly useful search keywords there.
Lets see. what is the "Special pages:Missing redirect annotations" has to say.
The following section will list pages that are missing redirect annotations in Semantic MediaWiki (by comparing with information stored in MediaWiki) and to restore those annotations either manually purge the page or run the rebuildData.php maintenance script (with option --redirects).
"missing redirect annotations" Now that seems like some potential usable search string.
SMW search on ["redirect annotation"] - Results 1 (wow)
Resulting "Annotation" page contained, as usual, no information of any use.
SMW search on ["redirect annotations"] - Result 6 (wow again, kinda expected zero results)
O wait. It contains 2 dupes. So that is 4. And one is an image. So that is 3.
Of those 3, 2 are your standard SMW "This FOOBAR pages is a reminder that the FOOBAR feature was added to do FOOBAR stuff" filler page. (both also containing a link :to the "Semantic gardening" page ... wait for it!)
So where down to 1 again (wow again). "Semantic gardening" O jolly. Yea, I feel my fingers turning green again already.
Semantic gardening can be described as activity to "garden" (or improve) the health of value statements and property declarations used within a wiki. It is part of the overall data curation1 that should be done on a wiki.
Yea, thanks for the explanation on the word gardening SMW. Very useful stuff.
The property annotation health collects some help about how to find erroneous statements that need correction or adjustments. "Gardening" further includes to monitor things like:
  • outdated properties
  • outdated entities
  • similar properties
  • property uniqueness
  • improper annotations and failed queries
  • missing redirect annotations
Great, an other "follow the links" SMW page devoid of any really useful information.
And wow again. Its even back-linking to that other highly useful "missing redirect annotations" page that linked to this "Semantic gardening" page. How cool is that. Well ... there at least consisted in there "Follow the links" practice. Very useful feature, I guess.
