File:Painted door (Photographer). Funchal, Madeira.jpg[edit]

You deleted the "Crackelure" category, citing the fact that there are no craquelures in the image. Take a closer look, please. There are a lot of craquelures around the door, and on the door itself there is a purposeful image of craquelure. -- Ввласенко (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ввласенко The wikipedia article describes that effect as "a fine pattern of dense cracking", something that can't be seen in any place of that photo. Just because the painting is falling away, it doesn't mean it's craquelure. Darwin Ahoy! 18:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ввласенко Hmm... Looking better, there is some craquelure in the lower part of the door, indeed... I added the category back. Darwin Ahoy! 18:58, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you. Let me note that geologists also use “craquelure” talking about mud cracks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudcrack). Most broadly, the term refers to any pattern created by fractures, even at the scale of rock formations. The Wikipedia article is somewhat one-sided. -- Ввласенко (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ввласенко Thanks for the clarifications, and for pointing out the incorrect category removal. Darwin Ahoy! 21:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019 and Wiki Science Competition 2021, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2023 has started in almost all the countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2023, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase (such as Russia), please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2024.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

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)Reply[reply]
