Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

Cryptic edit

[edit]

I'm not sure what you meant to do here, but I'm a native speaker of English and cannot parse the resulting sentence after your edit [1]. Can you see if you can reword this better? - Jmabel ! talk 17:27, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Is it legible now, or is it still unintelligible?

@Jmabel: Special:Diff/1078266872 looks better to me.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:34, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
So "used" here means "currently used by some WMF project"? Then say so. - Jmabel ! talk 23:39, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
We automatically assume “used” to mean “used in WMF”, just like how “unused” means “unused in WMF” in the preceding sentence. Anohthterwikipedian (talk) 00:04, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
I had initially read it as something like (a) "is older" or (b) "used a deletion request", which is why it made no sense. - Jmabel ! talk 01:44, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

[edit]
2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth 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 (2024) 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 top 5% of 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 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Please be more careful about replying on Help desk, etc.

[edit]

This is not the first time I've seen you give an actively wrong or misleading reply on a very public-facing project page. Please be more careful. If you don't know the relevant policy well yourself, please do not try to answer someone's question, especially in a way that sounds like you are saying something definitive. People rely on the answers they get there. You could have wasted this person's time on a complete irrelevancy, and the might have gotten legitimately angry at the "bad help" they received. - Jmabel ! talk 02:48, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

And, in fact, I see you followed that with another piece of basically bad advice to another Help desk question. Someone had basically described writing a document that is original research; you told them to go ahead and upload, but what they described is almost certainly out of scope. - Jmabel ! talk 03:03, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Jmabel: Sorry, I’ll be sure to actually read and think before replying to a question.  Thank you.

This is a final warning. Again, with Special:Diff/1099542298 you say something that basically misses the point and makes it harder for someone else to give the user good advice. Stop. If you give another bad answer to a beginning user who is seeking help, I am going to ask for administrative action against this account. - Jmabel ! talk 03:10, 15 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations, you’ve reached the end!
