Picture Doesn't Match Wiki Loves Love 2019 Edition Scope

[edit]

Hello, Sumita Roy Dutta. As you may know, the theme for Wiki Loves Love 2019 is festivals, celebrations, ceremonies and rituals of love. Although your photo seems fine with general criteria of Wikimedia Commons, its subject doesn't seem to pertain the theme on which Wiki Loves Love focus in its current edition. Neither the visualization of the photo nor the reading of the description given provide enough context to enable understand in which manner the photo could pertain to the theme. If you nonetheless estimate that the photo do pertain to the theme, then please provide more information about that, so we can consider reintegrating in photos illegible in the contest. Of course you also are welcome to provide more photos that you think relevant for the theme of this edition, and we encourage you to do so. With lot of Wiki Love, in the name of the Wiki Loves Love team, Psychoslave (talk) 19:47, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Psychoslave "When you look up at the sky and see a cloud, think of me" John Lennon of Beatles to Yoko Ono, w:Graffiti in Beatles Ashram, Rishikesh, India. Lenon used to meditate in this room. Two lines from Wikipedia about this place "After two weeks Lennon asked to sleep in a separate room, saying he could only meditate when he was alone.[1]Meanwhile, he walked to the local post office every morning to check for Ono's almost daily telegrams.[2] One of these telegrams read: "Look up at the sky and when you see a cloud think of me".[3]" Hope you can understand why I hv uploaded this image in this project. Pls go through all Wiki links I hv given here. Sumita Roy Dutta (talk) 10:16, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sumita Roy Dutta. This is a really great picture that completely pertains to love, and we understand why you sent it, and thank you for doing so. The act of putting the image out of scope is due to the more narrow theme that we selected for this year edition, that doesn't include all love testimonies but focus on events such as celebrations, ceremonies and ritual. We hope this make the criteria we used more clear. Rest assured that in any way, this doesn't prevent that your picture might be used in other Wikimedia project to illustrate articles, provided that no copyright infringement issue pertain to this photo. With a lot of love, Psychoslave (talk) 10:54, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
