Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2017 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.

Dear FrankCesco26,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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 were 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.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 11:32, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Unblock request declined This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion. Request reason: "Magog the Ogre had not warned me in any way (unlike he wrongly stated in my User page) before outright blocking me, and I was not engaged in any edit war, I reverted the image asking for reliable sources supporting the changes, thing that the user did not do. In order to stand for the accuracy and the reliability of Wikipedia I had removed his unreliable changes. I only changed the file twice in the 24 hours period. This block is not legitimate." Decline reason: "COM:BP requires an understanding of the issue and a credible commitment to discontinue, neither of which are on offer here. For example: "Magog the Ogre had not warned me in any way (unlike he wrongly stated in my User page) before outright blocking me" - 1) The purpose of warning is to ensure the user is aware of the issue. In your first reversion you said "Please stop edit warring, otherwise we'd have to contact the administrators, since you already broke the three-reverts rule that can lead to a ban" clearing indicating both an awareness of edit warring and that it has adverse consequences; and 2) you were warned about edit warring in this diff; Magog the Ogre removed it only as "user is aware of rules from other projects"--indeed, edit warring is something with which you struggle greatly. The purport of not having been warned is disingenuous wiki-lawyering. "I was not engaged in any edit war" Certain history is as follows: 10:28, 3 November 2020 - FrankCesco26 made a reversion to File:QarabaghWarMap(2020).svg 11:05, 3 November 2020 - That reversion was reverted 20:59, 4 November 2020 - FrankCesco26 make another reversion 09:34, 5 November 2020 - That reversion was reverted 15:34, 5 November 2020 - FrankCesco26 make another reversion This is blatant edit warring, as someone with four previous blocks for edit warring (!!!) would be expected to be fully aware. This is the Commons, not en.wiki. We do not have 3RR and, even if you want to import en.wiki concepts, w:WP:PLAYPOLICY would apply, especially with your history. Edit warring is disruptive and unacceptable regardless of who is "correct" ("I reverted the image asking for reliable sources supporting the changes"); if you have an issue, you are to bring it to the talk page and/or a community noticeboard.

Эlcobbola: The account whom I reverted the edit the first time was later blocked, since he reverted his unreliable version *10 times* (yes you read that well) before being blocked, and I had just restored the last reliable and widely accepted version. He was blocked for sock puppeting and edit war. Then this other user comes and pushes another unreliable version. I protected the reliability of Wikipedia, asking for an unbiased and reliable source. I have experience on Wikipedia and you read that well it was years since I was blocked so I had learnt the lesson. What was I blocked for? Asking for reliable sources? Come on.
