Since the English article has remained at en:Vancouver, and true to other languages, I am reverting this category back to before your June 14th changes. Kaveh 09:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I got ahead of myself. Cacophony 06:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Cacophony, please don't worry about my reverts. Normaly an image or media file is linked by an article, because sorting and moving between family cats is easier. Please have a look at Lepidoptera. Best regards, --Olei 20:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to have the images not be orphaned (i.e. not be contained in a category). I can't think of a better category to add them to. All of Commons is massively disorganized. Cacophony 23:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

After looking at Commons:Categories, I see that the guidelines are these: The category structure is the primary way to organize and find files on the Commons. It is essential that every file can be found by browsing the category structure. To allow this, each file must be put into a category directly, and/or put on a gallery page which is categorized. Each category should itself be in more general categories, forming a hierarchical structure. Maybe someday I'll have the energy to change everything back. Cacophony 23:53, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I wrote something at my dicussion page. And please listen to that people who have sorted a lot of files until now! Best regards, --Olei 20:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

GWB category

Hi. I think the most specific images of George W. Bush are on the George W. Bush, and the Category:George W. Bush is broader including related material. Thus the inclusion of Image:BushmobilePileBayouStJohn.jpg there, making image accessible should someone be researching protests, caricatures, commentary etc related to GWB.

Photo use

HI Cacophony,

I am very interested in using a couple of your photos to make a rendering for a graphic design project. Wondered if this is ok with you. I am new to the details of the Creative Commons lisc. etc.

Panoramas

Hi Cacophony, I see that you've made a lot of excellent panoramas, and was wondering, what program do you use to stitch the pictures together? I've been looking for one, and can't decide.

Permission for Mt Hood Photo.

Hi Jason,

I work for Vaya Creative here in Portland and we need your assistance. We have been producing a pictorial book that chronicles the 74 year history of two construction company careers for The Donald M.Drake Company. Andrea Hull is the owner of Vaya Creative, and this is her father's work being honored. The many stories behind the iconic Portland buildings make your particular image extremely compelling. We would like to use your image of Mt. Hood on the cover of this book. The book will not be for sale and is for private distribution within the family. I am happy to provide whatever information you may need and pay a fee for acquiring a high resolution (over 1200dpi) version if at all possible.

Please let me know who to contact, or what my next steps might be!

Thank you in advance.

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 Cacophony,

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,
