Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2018 is open!

Dear Normal Op,

You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in R1 of the 2018 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2018) 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 the final (and current) round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2018.

Round 2 will end 17 March 2019, 23:59:59.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,

Thanks for saving my pictures

Thanks for stopping my pictures form being deleted. I took them and they are my work. Why are people trying to get rid of them?Gingerbreadhouse97 (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

It was just a vandal random targeting people's photos. I'd never seen anything like it; in about two hours he had made 100 edits, most of which were filing a deletion request on other people's photos. What a mess he made. I was alerted because of a robo-note on a Talk page of an article (that was on my watchlist) that had used the photo. That was probably one of your photos. I noticed he targeted a few of yours. Here is the notice where he got blocked. Here is his list of edits. Normal Op (talk) 16:02, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
