•  Question Should "restored" be part of the scope? There are several more complete pictures of the facade, though I don't know if we're looking at the front or back in them, and the building seems in rougher condition. This is one example. Also, since neither this photo nor the cropped version of this photo show the entire front, it's arguable which version is best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: It's less restored and more just the addition of railing, metal doors, protective scaffolding on top etc; this is the front facade, but yes, there seem to be more fuller pictures. Changing scope to "Close-up". Last change of scope, please judge if this scope fits. If not, then this picture probably shouldn't be a VI.--UnpetitproleX (talk) 02:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Kinner Kailash Mountain Range (edited).jpg

Hello UnpetitproleX,

regarding your nomination: I do not know what went wrong, but it should be possible to remove the labels without creating posterization. Please try if you can fix this (probably starting with the original photo again). If it does not work, ping me and I can try my luck = try to help, too ;–).

Best, --Aristeas (talk) 08:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

@Aristeas: Thank you very much, I have tried my best to fix that by re-editing the original performing all intervening edits at once to that. Please let me know if this edit is satisfactory, I probably cannot do better than this with my very limited experience. Your inputs are appreciated! UnpetitproleX (talk) 12:09, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello UnpetitproleX, thank you very much – the sky is much better! Now the image should be ready for a fair discussion.

Two general photo editing tips: (1) If you want to make several changes to a photo, first just open it and save it in a loseless format, e.g. as a TIFF image (*.tif), PSD (*.psd) image or, if you use Gimp, XCF (*xcf) image. Then you can make as many edits as you want and save it in between many times without quality losses. Only when you are completely done save the image again as a JPEG (*.jpg) image for uploading to Commons. Keep the original TIFF/PSD/XCF image to have it ready if users request more changes.

(2) Sometimes, when doing several complex gradation changes (making parts of the image brighter etc.), it can be helpful to convert the (TIFF/PSD/XCF) image first to a 16-bit image. Then do your changes. Only when you want export your result again as a JPEG image, convert it back to an 8-bit image and then save it as an JPEG image; keep the TIFF/PSD/XCF image in 16 bit. Using 16 bit can help to prevent posterization when doing several complex gradation changes one after another.

Best, --Aristeas (talk) 14:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, will keep this in mind! I now know whom to go to for guidance. :) UnpetitproleX (talk) 14:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry

… if I have messed up your last nomination or made it more complicated. I know that alternative versions always make nominatinons more complex. I did not want to disrupt the nomination; I just saw King’s point and had to admit that more sky would IMHO be better, so I tried to show how that would look. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:15, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

@Aristeas: More sky is definitely better, and the image does indeed look better! I’m hopeful that the image will be featured—whichever version—because it definitely deserves to be. Lets see how it goes. And no need to apologise! Whenever I come across an image I can’t fix myself (like this image whose CAs I’m unable to remove), I always think of you, though I rarely ask for help so as not to bother you haha. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 10:22, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2023 voting is open!

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 top 5% of 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 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Great work, many thanks

Hi, i noticed your annotation work at File:ISS-46 Northern India at night.jpg. That's really very useful. Great! I remember seeing a similar satellite image some years ago, wondering about that "long thin line". Now I learned it's the illuminated border. 2003:E5:3728:FE00:1004:233F:7B6F:6F72 00:53, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrol user right

Hello UnpetitproleX, maybe I am wrong but it seems you do not to belong to the autopatrolled users. You certainly deserve that user right because you have made a large count of helpful edits. Therefore please ask at Commons:Requests for rights#Autopatrol for the autopatrol user right. If you get it all your edits will automatically be marked as patrolled; this helps other people to distinguish them from the edits of new users which need to be patrolled (checked). Best, – Aristeas (talk) 18:35, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

And sorry, I wrote the lines above hastily, but I did not want to have a go at you, on the contrary, I wanted to make you happy by telling you that you certainly deserve that user right and just need to ask for it. :–) – Aristeas (talk) 07:51, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Aristeas: thanks for the kind words. :) And apologies for responding late, I have been a tad bit busy. I will make a post at request for autopatrol soon, your suggestion is well taken! UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:36, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

No problem, this is not urgent, take all time you need. I just wanted to make clear that this was not a reproach (as we often have them here) but a friendly tip. ;–) All the best, – Aristeas (talk) 09:57, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
