Sorry, what is the problem? I do see a cc-by license on the description page, so does FlinfoNickK (talk) 00:47, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
When I clicked the link I was redirected to Google+ page rather than the archived Picasa page. According to their policy regarding content, Google now holds the license to all images posted. (There is no more CC license available to Google+ users.) However, you are correct in that this particular image was uploaded back when you could use a CC license which means that it is still under the same license. My apologies for not seeing the archived Picasa page. Hazmat2 (talk) 01:12, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I add direct Picasa links as they do contain licensing information — Google+ simply omits this information. I have found no evidence that these images become copyrighted by Google, what I have found is that they simply do not display licenses. If you want here is an example of a Creative Commons image uploaded today on Picasa, which means that this license is still supported — NickK (talk) 01:40, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement[edit]

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open![edit]

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Some stroopwafels for you![edit]

hi, fyi your photo here http://www.kyivpost.com/guide/people/lifestyle-blog-ukrainian-from-the-heavenly-hundred-became-a-wikipedian-of-the-year-360551.html Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 12:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for these stroopwafels! I know that my photo is pretty heavily used in the Ukrainian media, as it was a part of our press-release, which was very well covered in the media (some 150 publications). There is not so many English-language media in Ukraine however, so it's a pleasure that the leading one has published this report as well — NickK (talk) 14:27, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Ungvári Drámai Színház[edit]

Architects of the theatre were Fejér Lajos (born in 1877) and Ritter Ignác. Unfortunately i did not find any information about the date of death. --VargaA (talk) 18:08, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@VargaA: Ok, thank you for confirmation. I have spent some time yesterday looking for any information on those, and I have put it together on Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Uzhhorod Puppet Theatre. Seems like Fejér Lajos lived in 1877—1944, and Ritter Ignác is mentioned exclusively together with Fejér Lajos (perhaps his assistant?) — NickK (talk) 18:34, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
