Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Thank You!

Hi there! Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States. We're excited to see people uploading thousands of photos from all over the country! You and others have collectively uploaded 4,929 photos so far, all of which are viewable at Category:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States (sorted by state).

We encourage you to continue contributing through the rest of the month. Uploading your photos of monuments isn't the only way to contribute, however. If you're interested, we have compiled a list of auxiliary ways to contribute - which include improving Wikipedia's coverage of historic and cultural sites, as well as finding existing free photos that can be shared on the Commons. While these contributions don't count towards the contest, we are still keeping track of them and they are great ways to contribute to the spirit of the project.

If you are interesting in contributing to Wikipedia, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places is also great place to start. The WikiProject showcases the work that has been done so far in covering NRHP sites, and can also help you find articles that need improving.

If you're on Twitter, give us a follow @WLMUnitedStates for updates, news, and more.

If you have any questions between now or the end of the month, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 09:28, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States during the month of October! The United States contest saw over 1,700 people contribute over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States and its territories. In addition to National Register of Historic Places sites, we welcomed uploads of sites designated by state- and local-level historical institutions and societies. Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate Wikipedia articles!

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States! We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret having to narrow it down to just 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other various national contests as they are announced, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 winners.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all participants in the United States to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 06:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! My name is Kevin, one of the organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Last year, you contributed to our 2016 event. It was a great success thanks to you and many others, with over 1,700 people contributing over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States. Over 1,000 of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, making our open knowledge about United States history and heritage all the better.

I'm pleased to say that we're back this year with Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States, and I'd like to welcome you to participate once again in the event. Check out our updated event page for more information, including updated tips, lists, and prizes. Like last year, you'll be able to upload your new photos of any registered historical site in the United States through the end of September (even if the photos were taken before this month).

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you in this year's event! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on my talk page. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 08:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

File:HorsetailFalls Supergloss.jpg

I have found the image File:HorsetailFalls Supergloss.jpg on Commons. In the desciption of the image the date of the photo is noted as 4. of January 2011, 11:17:06. As I know the supergloss is only visible in febrary. Can you please check the data when the photo has been shot? Kind regards --Salino01 (talk) 18:46, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Not sure why it said that date unless my editing changed it. Anyway, the correct date is 2/14/2008.

The date has been added by a Bot and was created from the exif data of the image. You have saved the file that date with Photoshop. I have corrected the date info. Thank you for uploading such a nice image.--Salino01 (talk) 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Do you have also image of the horsetail fall without gloss, which means when the sun is shining well, probably also from another direction?--Salino01 (talk) 20:29, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I have hundreds of pictures from that evening. This is a video showing the stills that I took that day. https://vimeo.com/141296125

The horsetail waterfall is not there most of the year. Even in February, the water is only a small amount of snow melt. Taking a picture during the day would not reveal much.

I am just writing a wikipedia article about the Horstail fall in German ([1]). Because it is about the fall it would have been nice to have a 'normal' picture (e.g. like this) or even a photo where the naked rock is shown. The image, which is in the article draft is not showing the horestail fall, even if the name of the file suggested that. Your video is very nice to declare how the illuminated area becomes smaller and smaller. Is it allowed to make a series of 5 photes taken from the video? --Salino01 (talk) 06:14, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

I found an image that shows the area of Horsetail Falls taken at another time in the morning on 9/21/2013. The link has 4 pictures showing the full morning image and the zoomed areas. The new Horsetail Falls image is from February 11th, 2017 and the morning image (no water) is from Sept. 21, 2013. Yes, you can take any clips from the videos I have shared.

When I was at Yosemite on February 11th, 2017 I met a very talented person (Li Liu). You can follow him on YouTube. He has one of the best videos using timelapse of Horsetail Falls. It's great because it pans out to show the sunset and how the sun angle is critical for the falls to show at sunset. Here is one of his best videos:

I had send you an email. Can you please email your email-adress, so that I can show you the arrangement of photos I am talking above.--Salino01 (talk) 10:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
