Hi! I don't think you are reading this anymore, but I thought I would comment:

• "Wikipedia is not a project with a neutral point of view, wikipedia allow images deemed insulting a religion."
  • If Wikipedia had presented the images as if they were the truth, then yes. But Wikipedia is simply stating these images exist, showing what they look like so people can decide "are they insulting?" - and describing the history and makings of these images. The English Wikipedia has many images offensive to many groups (Nazi images, anti-Christian imagery, sexual images, etc). The English Wikipedia isn't judging "these images are right" - But in order to teach people about the images, we believe that we have to display them. We aren't saying that these images are good, or that they say the truth. We believe that in order to teach people about them, we have to show them.
• "Many cases resolved by way of voting to reach consensus to the exclusion of minority opinions. Therefore, I stopped to contribute in wikipedia to a change in policy." - Well, minority opinions are given due consideration. On the English Wikipedia we decided to reject the minority rationale. This doesn't mean that there was no fairness given.
• I think the best way to handle it is for you to ask Muslim Wikipedians who share your beliefs to follow the instructions at en:Talk:Muhammad/FAQ and block their own accounts from seeing those images

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

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. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
