Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

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

Module:TNTExpandByCountries

My first attempt at Lua programming has failed...

See Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Others. The template {{Copyright rules by territory/Country}} does not have to be translatable – it can use {{Langswitch}}. But it transcludes pages like Commons:Copyright rules by territory/European Union which contains the translatable template {{Infobox copyright rules}}. Help! Aymatth2 (talk) 18:26, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

• A second problem, which I can't figure out, is that the list does not include Andean Community of Nations or Free City of Danzig, which show when Module:Countries is called directly. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:59, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2:

|ttemp= was not properly defined, see [1].

The second issue is related to how module:countries is invoked:

{{#invoke:Countries|main|CRT other|prefix=:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/|sep=|lang={{PAGELANGUAGE}} }} gives:

Unions: Andean Community · European Union · United Nations
Former countries: Czechoslovakia · Free City of Danzig · Manchukuo · Ottoman Empire · Soviet Union · Yugoslavia

while {{#invoke:countries|main|CRT other}} gives:

Unions: Andean Community · European Union · United Nations
Former countries: Czechoslovakia · Free City of Danzig · Manchukuo · Ottoman Empire · Soviet Union · Yugoslavia

Most likely it is checking for existence of the page before including it: Andean Community does not exist but Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Andean Community does.

Dalba 03:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. The first problem was from my total ignorance of the Lua language. Probably Module:TNTExpandByCountries should be fixed to pass the prefix=:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/ to Module:Countries, but I don't know how to do that. I made pages for Andean Community and Free City of Danzig and the problem went away.

I am still puzzling over sort sequence. It seems to me that there are only about 50 languages we have to worry about, and about 200 countries. It should be possible to generate a sequencing file for each language that holds sort sequence numbers for each country, maintained using something like {{CRT format East Africa2}}, but for all countries. Then the grouping modules could pick the sequencing file based on language, and use the sequence numbers for the countries they were interested in.

{{CRT format East Africa2|lang=fa}} gives:

Start	Country	ISO code	Seq
*<!-- جیبوتی-->	{{CRT list/entry|Djibouti |type=}}
*<!-- اریتره-->	{{CRT list/entry|Eritrea |type=}}
*<!-- اتیوپی-->	{{CRT list/entry|Ethiopia |type=}}
*<!-- کنیا-->	{{CRT list/entry|Kenya |type=}}
*<!-- ماداگاسکار-->	{{CRT list/entry|Madagascar|type=}}
*<!-- مالاوی-->	{{CRT list/entry|Malawi |type=}}
*<!-- موریس-->	{{CRT list/entry|Mauritius |type=}}
*<!-- موزامبیک-->	{{CRT list/entry|Mozambique |type=}}
*<!-- رواندا-->	{{CRT list/entry|Rwanda |type=}}
*<!-- سیشل-->	{{CRT list/entry|Seychelles|type=}}
*<!-- سومالی-->	{{CRT list/entry|Somalia|type=}}
*<!-- سودان جنوبی-->	{{CRT list/entry|South Sudan|type=}}
*<!-- تانزانیا-->	{{CRT list/entry|Tanzania |type=}}
*<!-- اوگاندا-->	{{CRT list/entry|Uganda|type=}}
*<!-- زامبیا-->	{{CRT list/entry|Zambia |type=}}
*<!-- زیمبابوه-->	{{CRT list/entry|Zimbabwe |type=}}

If I sort by country, then copy and paste into a spreadsheet, then copy and paste here (view in edit mode), I get:

|ETH= 1 |ERI= 2 |UGA= 3 |TZA= 4 |DJI= 5 |RWA= 6 |ZMB= 7 |ZWE= 8 |SSD= 9 |SOM= 10 |SYC= 11 |MDG= 12 |MWI= 13 |MUS= 14 |MOZ= 15 |KEN= 16

I cannot read Farsi, but am guessing that this yields the correct sequence numbers. It would only take a few hours to generate files that gave sort sequences for all countries in 20 languages. There must be a way to adapt the Module:Countries sub-modules so they could use these files... Aymatth2 (talk) 15:19, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2

> Probably Module:TNTExpandByCountries should be fixed to pass the prefix=:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/ to Module:Countries.

It already does pass it, but perhaps the results are not in the expected format? i.e. the country names include the prefix: Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Andean Community instead of Andean Community.

> Then the grouping modules could pick the sequencing file based on language

Yes, it should work. However, IIRC, calling templates from modules is a costly operation. It is usually preferred to have those sequences stored in a module. Module:Countries has something like that, e.g. for African countries you'll find the following entries in Module:Countries/Africa:

			de        = 'EG DZ AO GQ ET BJ BW BF BI DJ CI ER GA GM GH GN GW CM CV KE KM CD CG LS LR LY MG MW ML MA MR MU MZ NA NE NG RW ZM ST SN SC SL ZW SO ZA SD SS SZ TZ TG TD TN UG EH CF',
			fr        = 'ZA DZ AO BJ BW BF BI CM CV KM CI DJ EG ER SZ ET GA GM GH GN GQ GW KE LS LR LY MG MW ML MR MU MA MZ NA NE NG UG CF CD CG RW ST SN SC SL SO SD SS TZ TD TG TN EH ZM ZW',
			mk        = 'DZ AO BJ BW BF BI CM CV CF TD KM CI CD DJ EG GQ ER ET GA GM GH GN GW KE LS LR LY MG MW ML MR MU MA MZ NA NE NG CG RW ST SN SC SL SO SS ZA SD SZ TZ TG TN UG EH ZM ZW',
			uk        = 'DZ AO BJ BW BF BI GA GM GH GN GW DJ GQ ER ET EG ZM EH ZW CV CM KE KM CD CG CI LS LR LY MU MR MG MW ML MA MZ NA NE NG SS ZA RW ST SZ SC SN SO SD SL TZ TG TN UG CF TD',

(BTW, it does not include any sequence for Farsi, which could explain why some entries are not in the correct order for the Farsi output of these countries.)

One would also need a way to convert between country codes and country names...

There is also another possible approach: One could create a module to sort strings in any language. This requires implementing something like en:Unicode Collation Algorithm in Lua. Could be very hard, but obviously is applicable in a wider range of situations.

Dalba 05:52, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

{{CRT format/ISO3166-1 codes}} converts country names to ISO3 country codes. I assume modules to do the same or the reverse would be easy.

I need to expand the first 18 lists linked from {{CRT region index}} to include non-countries like Puntland. I can define the countries for each list, which will match the United Nations geoscheme. I would like a simple way to define the sort sequences in many different languages. I do not know the best approach. The experiment with {{CRT format East Africa2}} shows it would be fairly easy to generate global country sequence lists in all the main languages, in some format, perhaps like de = 'EG DZ AO GQ ET BJ BW BF BI DJ CI ER GA GM GH GN GW CM CV KE ...'. But it should be something that can be done once and reused by all the Module:Countries/region modules. They should be able to say "return this list of countries sequenced for this language." I do not want to waste time on the {{CRT region index}} lists with a dead-end approach. It is bugging me. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:18, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2

> I need to expand the first 18 lists linked from {{CRT region index}} to include non-countries like Puntland.

Maybe we can use Module:Countries for that? Perhaps by creating new sub-groups for Module:Countries, for example by creating Module:Countries/East Africa which would be a subset of Module:Countries/Africa and so on.

> But it should be something that can be done once and reused by all the Module:Countries/region modules.

I see; sounds like like a good idea to me, but I think some parts of Module:Countries will need to be rewritten. It's a complex module, I don't think I'll be able to spare enough time for doing that anytime soon, sorry.

Dalba 05:16, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. It is not urgent. The CRT region lists work as they are now, and are not very long, so being out of sequence is not a big problem. I may go back to the earlier idea of marking the lists as translatable units, with commented instructions on using {{CRT format East Africa}} and its cousins to generate language-sorted versions. That would presumably be easier for translators than explaining to them how to define the sort sequence for their language as a list of codes in Module:Countries/East Africa.

A fully-automated long-term solution probably would be complicated. E.g. for French, {{CRT format East Africa}} incorrectly sorts Érythrée after Zimbabwe rather than after Djibouti. I suspect there are a lot of other issues. Thanks again, Aymatth2 (talk) 13:23, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
