You should probably edit http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr_images accordingly then once the discussion here is over.

Please re-read what I wrote. You've misunderstood me and I'm not sure
how to clarify other than to say that I'm speaking about Flickr users
and not flickrlickr users.

We've seen some copyvios from flickr. I've not personally used
FlickrLickr, does it make it easy to see other uploads from the same
person? Thats a typical place to look for signs of trouble.

No one asked you to.

Please realize that happy slapping is only done by a very small minority of children and it is unfair to place stereotypes just because of the actions a few. Robert.

Dear Wikimedians, The Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year 2006 competition is now over, and the winner has been selected. Thank you for voting. Of the 662 Wikimedians who voted, 83 selected 'Aurora Borealis' [1] as the 'Wikimedia Commons Picture of 2006'. Second was 'Sans Domicile Fixe' [2] with 78 votes and joint third were 'Blue Jay' [3] and 'Hoverflies mating in midair' [4] with 70 votes each. We congratulate the authors of these pictures for their exceptional quality. The full results are available on [5] Some user comments: * ''Fantastic! Love the earth.'' * ''Crazy. Wish I could vote for them all.'' * ''If I had to pic one thing I'd like to see, I'd go with that. Stunning.'' We are also proud to announce the release of an archive of all the 2006 Wikimedia Commons Featured Pictures. You can find more information on [6]. Thank you all for voting, The Commons Community [1] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Polarlicht_2.jpg [2] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:P7032101_small2.jpg [3] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Cyanocitta-cristata-004.jpg [4] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hoverflies_mating_midair.jpg [5] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2006 [6] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2006/archive
Well done to everyone who helped make it a success, including Alvesgaspar, Michael Maggs, Bryan, Gmaxwell, LadyofHats, Dschwen, Herbythyme, Shyam, Comments about how we can improve the running of the competition are welcome here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Picture_of_the_Year/2006/Future At a minimum I imagine the 2007 competition will involve * written-down, defined procedures for vote counting and vote validity * volunteers for roles determined prior to opening the competition * possible simplification of voting process/work on clearer explanations of how to vote * possibly multiple categories such as 'Wikimedian work of the year' (maybe also technical/subject matter categories - the fact that the two animations in the final came 10th and 11th is not a coincidence, IMO - people don't consider that an animation could be 'grand' enough to be POTY, probably) * more publicity in non-English projects and channels * consider different voting schemes (but... need to keep things simple) cheers Brianna user:pfctdayelise On 03/03/07, Bryan Tong Minh <bryan.tongminh@...> wrote: > Dear Wikimedians, > > The Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year 2006 competition is now > over, and the winner has been selected.

It wouldn't have worked this year because of the need for people without Commons accounts to link their vote to their home project account, but we should have SUL in time for the next one so that will be possible. -- -- Stephen Bain stephen.bain@...

Has anyone attempted to contact the photographer, Joshua Strang? He probably didn't even know it was on Commons; he might be interested to know it was voted picture of the year. -- Tim Starling
