- Jahobr this GIF was my own work, and the image is not directly used, but my GIF was based off of the cited image. I'd say it counts as fair use, but I'm not an expert. If there's some chance it violates copyright, I don't mind it being deleted off the commons. No worries one way or the other. JoePhin (talk) 10:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, having file deleted sure sucks. Unfortunatelly fair use is not accepted on commons it could maybe be hosted locally on other projects, like the English Wikipedia. The save way is to never use copyrighted material as foundation. Only consider public domain or creative commons material and cite the (free) sources. Greetings --Jahobr (talk) 11:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- It's fine Jahobr, I'll keep the 'no copyrighted base' thing in mind for anything else I add. Greetings! JoePhin (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:NYSpost highlight.png
[edit]![]() |
This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:NYSpost highlight.png, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:NYSpost highlight.png]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

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 UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
