Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement[edit]
Your most memorable shot of 2021[edit]
Happy New Year! As always at the beginning of the new year, I'm inviting you to share your most memorable shot of the past year. Which of your photos stood out in 2021? Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2022. Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Ukraine - Schaubild Verfassung[edit]
Hallo, das Schaubild wurde offensichtlich von dir erstellt, also dürftest du auch besonders einfach und schnell eine kleine Änderung vornehmen können. Ich habe mich gefragt, warum der Präsident die Außen- und Verteidigungsminister schlagen sollte, wo die doch z.Z. gute Arbeit leisten. Ein kleines "vor" als Ergänzung wäre also schön. --95.112.170.115 19:11, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Save the date: Commons Photographers meeting next week[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
Please save the date: on Saturday, June 19th, our next virtual Zoom meeting is going to take place. As you know, one goal of these meetings is to share knowledge about different types of photography. This time, we've lined up the following presentations:
- Photography in Nigeria
- Photographing vehicles
- I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…
If you'd like to participate in this event, please consider signing up on this page. Also, if you'd like to present at one of the next meetings, please send me a quick note. Sharing your experiences and learnings with others can make a huge difference!
I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best! Hope to see you on the 19th.
Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:
- Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:
- Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon” (Ziko)
- The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)
- You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.
- Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!
- And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.
Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!
All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Klexikon[edit]
Hallo Ziko! Deinen Vortrag über Klexikon und insbesondere über die Eignung von Bildern für Klexikon oder Kinder allgemein fand ich sehr spannend. Wie so stelle ich fest, dass einzelne gesellschaftliche Gruppen nicht ausreichend Beachtung finden. Minderjährige (oder auch Leute mit Sehschwierigkeiten) finden bei Wikimedia Commons nicht ausreichend Beachtung. Wie man dieses Problem allerdings löst, ist leider nicht ganz so einfach. Für meine eigenen Bilder habe ich mir etwas einfallen lassen, aber das muss noch reifen. Einen Versuch habe ich mit File:Dülmen, Börnste, Alpakas -- 2020 -- 5462.jpg (das kleine Icon oben rechts) gestartet. Ich bin mir echt nicht sicher, ob so etwas (für mich) ein Weg sein kann. Aus deinen Worten sprach sehr viel Erfahrung, die man nicht so nebenbei aufnehmen kann. Vielleicht schaffen wir es aber, bei Wikimedia Commons etwas anzustoßen. Ich weiß, das ist auch nicht einfach. Die meisten wird es schlicht nicht interessieren. Andere haben schon mit bestehenden Regeln, gesetzlichen Regelungen und lizenztechnischen Dingen zu viel zu tun. Aber trotzdem. Eine einfache Idee fänd ich umsetzbar, auch mit weniger Engagement. Ich denke weiter nach ... --XRay 💬 16:21, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Lieber Kollege, danke für deine Worte! Ich denke, dass so eine Kennzeichnung nicht verkehrt wäre. Oder ein anderes System. Leider ist der an sich nachvollziehbare Gedanke von Jimmy Wales damals in der Bildfilter-Debatte untergegangen. Man hätte es mit relativ einfachen Mitteln (Kategorien?) realisieren können. Wir werden sehen, was daraus wird. :-) Ich bleibe auch am Ball. Besten Gruß Ziko van Dijk (talk) 18:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
You're invited to provide input…[edit]
Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.
In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Online workshop this weekend[edit]
Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

Question from the CPUG Board[edit]
Dear user group member,
I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.
With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.
That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.
However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:
Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022
We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Sending spam[edit]
Hi Ziko, my talk clearly states don't appreciate people sending me emails. You choose to ignore this to send me spam about Commons:Think_big - open letter about Wikimedia Commons. You didn't even bother to change the text and just pasted in a standard message in four languages. Why did you think this is acceptable behavior? Multichill (talk) 18:14, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Multichill: , I confess that I failed to see your wish. I apologize for any inconvenience. Ziko van Dijk (talk) 19:09, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023[edit]
Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,
I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.
All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Villa Hügel Modellbahnwelt OB.JPG[edit]
|
| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Villa Hügel Modellbahnwelt OB.JPG, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Hi, I am interested how you created this image. What prompt did you use? Did you specify a name? Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:07, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Yann, thanks for asking - honestly I do not preserve most of my prompts. But in this case I did use the name of the actress we all have in mind when seeing this face. (If not, the AI failed. :-) ) - Stable Diffusion with the original "Model" model. Ziko van Dijk (talk) 12:48, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- I tried to do that for people for which we don't have images (notably Category:Michel Audiard), but I didn't get any good result. That's why I like to know how you did it. Yann (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

AI art copyright info[edit]
Hello!
I noticed some of your uploads are AI generated, but the copyright info isn't correct. According to COM:AI (where I first discovered your content), the Author information should be as following:

Stable Diffusion; prompted by Ziko van Dijk
And the license should be {{PD-algorithm}}.
Have a nice day!

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you[edit]
Dear fellow Commons photographer,
I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.
At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.
All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
