African tulip tree flowering[edit]
Hi there. My name is Paul Peterson and I work for Landcare Research in New Zealand. I noticed your photo of African Tulip tree flowering on the internet. We need to visit Raro this year to map ATT as part of a Pacific Island research project into invasive weeds. When would you suggest we visit to see peak flowering? July/August? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Regards Paul. 130.123.31.16 08:02, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open![edit]

Read this message in your language
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 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Olá, @Wilfredor! O Wiki Loves Monuments Brasil 2023 começou dia 1º de setembro!
Em uma semana, já conseguimos mais de 3600 fotografias de mais de 13 estados brasileiros. Este ano, teremos três categorias de premiação: Melhores Imagens, Maiores Contribuidores e Melhor Imagem do Pará.
Gostaria de te convidar a participar do concurso este ano novamente! Por favor, confira as listas de monumentos ou o aplicativo de mapa para enviar suas fotografias do patrimônio histórico brasileiro!
Abraços, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 03:12, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Would you be willing to rename the photo, or are you strictly not participating on this site? These chocolates were manufactured by a company based in Durango, Colorado, so they are American chocolates sold in Canada. I'll rename if you aren't willing to do so. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Done. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

You did to Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bebe Rexha @ Wiltern 06 30 2023 (53047143292).jpg, the same that you did as you did in Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:AIRPOWER16 - Air to Air SK35C Draken (29366239356).jpg, when several persons said for you to upload ypur version under a new filename??????? No problem, i reverted your change to the original file and reuploaded your version to File:Bebe Rexha @ Wiltern 06 30 2023 (53047143292) (denoised).jpg, so it is now your time to reroute the FP nomination if need be to your version in File:Bebe Rexha @ Wiltern 06 30 2023 (53047143292) (denoised).jpg. Tm (talk) 13:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Tm: WHAT THE HELL!?! Why didn't you bring that issue up before the file was approved? It was featured by consensus… 🤡 If you want to make any FP-related changes after a consensus you must open a new discussion and reach another consensus. ★ 20:27, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Che Guevara - Guerrillero Heroico by Alberto Korda.jpg[edit]
Little confused about your comment here. Am I missing something, did the server I found it on go down, or maybe I'm misinterpreting you? Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry if the Che Guevara poster is upsetting. A version of it was up on en-wiki FPC, and, well... it was a rather bad AI restoration, so I thought someone should do something about it and researched and restored this copy. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Adam Cuerden This is more because it is a figure used as propaganda in Cuba and Venezuela (my country), countries destroyed by communism/socialism. I am not interested in promoting this type of image --Wilfredor (talk) 13:24, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Che Guevara[edit]
Hi, Please do not make this political. Thanks, Yann (talk) 18:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yann It's not politics, it's reality, he's a murderer. Other people don't support some photos because they encourage war and I don't see you commenting on their user pages. I know very well your political leaning (leftist) who is turning this into a political issue is you. --Wilfredor (talk) 21:06, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- You don't know what you are talking about (me). And yes, it is politics. Not to mention your poor knowledge of history. So you don't like Che Guevara, and that's fine. But don't put your political opinions into votes. If all people would do like you, it would be immediate chaos on Commons. So I formally request you to stop this slippery slope. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
