I hope I could enlighten why the App still thought you are not eligible. If the App would check the full eligibility each time, it would simply take too long. But I have to admit there should be a better feedback (how to create SUL, hint how to recheck). -- RE rillke questions? 09:50, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- I should have been more clear. There is a button in the "My POTY" page to "Check again". It doesn't work, though. I press it, and the status doesn't change.Coastside (talk) 09:55, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm. I tested and it worked for me (using your user name). It found that you are eligible on en.wikipedia. Could you please press the "remove"-button and Please purge your browser’s cache or enable JavaScript in your Browser's settings. (You only need to do it once.)

- If this shouldn't work, I will hardcode in the script that you are eligible. Thank you. -- RE rillke questions? 10:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- I was using Chrome. Holding down shift and reloading, that didn't work; then tried clearing browser cache, that didn't work; then deleted cookies, that DID work. I'm now good to go. Seems somehow the cookie saved my non-SUL state and it wasn't getting cleared.Coastside (talk) 11:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I added your valuable hint to the FAQ. -- RE rillke questions? 12:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
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:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- 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.
- 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
