Verwendung des Bildes Evelyn Burdecki

[edit]

Hallo, ich möchte das Bild von Evelyn Burdecki auf meiner Homepage verwenden für einen Blog Beitrag. Ist dies möglich?

VG Daniela Rühling 2A04:4540:6C03:6300:D126:C0FD:1A78:FA2B 13:50, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hallo Daniela,
klar das ist möglich. Bei der Einhaltung der freien Lizenz hilft der Lizenzhinweisgenerator, der eine korrekte Bildunterschrift bereit stellst, die Du auf deinem Blog beim Bild einsetzen kannst, dann passt es mit einer kostenlosen Nachnutzung. hier wäre der Link mit einem Burdecki-Bild, wobei Du ganz oben jedes andere Bild von Wikimedia Commons einsetzen kannst.

Weiterei (talk) 07:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Weiterei Ich habe deinen Vermerk im Bild rückgängig gemacht. Das Foto ist eindeutig von Superbass selber. Raymond (talk) 08:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Raymond ich bestreite nicht, dass das Foto eindeutig von Superbass ist. Allerdings ist auf dem Foto ein weiteres Werk abgebildet, daher handelt es sich um ein abgeleitetes Werk, siehe obiger Baustein. Konkret beziehe ich mich auf das Motiv auf dem T-Shirt von Bushido. Die Autoren dieses Werks sowie die Lizenzen sind nicht aufgeführt. Ich bitte dich, den Baustein wieder einzufügen, sodass die Klärung vorgenommen werden kann. Siehe Baustein oben: "In all diesen Fällen müssen die Rechte sowohl des Erstellers oder Autors der Ursprungswerke als auch der abgeleiteten Werke in Betracht gezogen und gewahrt werden." Weiterei (talk) 09:44, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Weiterei Ok, Missverständnis, der Baustein ist wieder drin. Aber vielleicht magst du einen regulären Löschantrag draus machen, damit es eine normale Löschdiskussion geben kann? Inhaltlich: Ich halte das T-Shirt für Beiwerk. Zur Not könnte man das T-Shirt verpixeln, damit das Foto nicht als ganzes gelöscht werden muss. Raymond (talk) 10:02, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Raymond danke für die Wiederherstellung. Eine Löschdiskussion ist aus meiner Sicht nicht erforderlich, sofern hier geklärt werden kann, dass die Datei mit den Regeln der Plattform kompatibel ist. Weiterei (talk) 18:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Das T-Shirt-Motiv ist urheberrechtlich natürlich unwesentliches Beiwerk gemäß § 57 UrhG, vgl. auch OLG München 29 U 5826/07 in einem Fall, wo das T-Shirt-Design noch zentraler abgebildet war als im vorliegenden Fall bei einer von mehreren Personen. Das Motiv auf der Kleidung weist nur eine unbedeutende inhaltliche Beziehung zum Hauptmotiv des Fotos (Gruppenbild von Fernsehgästen) auf und wäre ohne Beeinträchtigung der Gesamtwirkung austauschbar.
Etwas irritierend ist, dass Du mit dieser Idee kommst, nachdem auf Deiner Diskussionsseite ein vergleichbarer Baustein gesetzt wurde, allerdings in anderer Sachlage. Ich kenne die Commons-Entsprechung zu WP:BNS nicht, dem Sinn nach ist das aber hier einschlägig. --Superbass (talk) 20:37, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Danke für deine Rückmeldung @Superbass. Ich denke es ist im Allgemeinen nicht trivial zu erkennen, inwiefern ein urheberrechtlich geschützter Inhalt Teil eines unter einer freien Lizenz veröffentlichten Werkes sein kann. Mir geht es nicht darum zu stören, sondern Klarheit herzustellen, und ich denke das ist auch im Sinne der Wikimedia Commons. Für dich scheint es offensichtlich zu sein, dass das T-Shirt-Motiv urheberrechtlich unproblematisch ist, für mich war es das nicht. Ggf. wäre es sinnvoll, bei diesem Werk das Template De minimis einzubinden, das wenn ich das richtig sehe genau für solche Fälle gemacht ist. VG Weiterei (talk) 21:25, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Krd: könntest Du bitte mal erklären, warum Du dieses Bild gelöscht hast (ich habe das jetzt erst gesehen). Es war m.E. korrekt lizenziert, und dass ein Pullover (!) einer abgebildeten Person hier eindeutig Beiwerk ist, sollte diese Diskussion hier doch erbracht haben? Ansonsten bitte ich um Erläuterung, warum es sich um etwas anderes als Beiwerk gehandelt hat, vielen Dank! --Superbass (talk) 18:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ich hab keine Idee, warum nicht einfach ein Löschantrag draus gemacht wurde. Bilder mit no-source-Baustein werden gelöscht, und es ist unmöglich irgendwelche verstecken Diskussionen zu finden. Krd 05:13, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Der den Baustein setzende Benutzer @Weiterei hat in der Diskussion Verständnis signalisiert, den Baustein aber nicht rausgekommen. Ich habe das nicht überwacht und bin davon ausgegangen, dass ein Admin da, Baustein hin oder her, inhaltlich nochmal drauf schaut.
Ich verstehe den Hergang nun, das folgt denn jetzt um eine Korrektur zu erzielen? Superbass (talk) 10:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
…die Realität war schneller - das Bild ist ja schon wieder da, danke! Superbass (talk) 10:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Schärfe von File:2018-01-26-DFP 2018-7447.jpg

[edit]

Hi!

Zunächst einmal danke für dein Engagement und deine Fotobeiträge, sie gefallen mir sehr gut!

Bei einem Foto ist mir allerdings aufgefallen, dass (wohl) eine KI die Schärfe bisschen übertrieben hat. An manchen Bereichen sind deshalb unrealistische Effekte entstanden (siehe den Schriftzug links neben dem Kopf, oder die "Striemen" am Hals). Aus meiner Sicht ist das Foto mehr als ideal, wenn aus meiner Sicht klassisch die Schärfe etwas erhöht wird. Wollte ich kurz mal einwerfen. :)

Weiterhin frohes Schaffen! --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 15:45, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, danke für das Feedback und ich gebe Dir da vollkommen recht. Bei dem Bild gab es ein Schärfeproblem das ich mit der Software Topaz Sharpen AI nachträglich lösen wollte - was grundsätzlich geht, aber hier eine sorgfältigere Maskierung erforderlich macht, so dass man die Bereiche, die Du nennst, vom Schärfen ausklammern muss. Das war mir offenbar nicht aufgefallen. Ich habe das mal neu versucht und finde, jetzt ist es schon viel besser. Superbass (talk) 19:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Beide Personen in diesem Bild haben einen eigenen Artikel, in dem das Bild eingebunden ist. Hast du noch nähere Aufnahmen der beiden? Oder lassen sich die beiden adäquat croppen? Grüße Lichtspielhaus (talk) 21:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, ich habe mal zwei Crops gemacht, da ich tatsächlich keine weiteren Aufnahmen des Duos (oder einzelner) im Archiv habe. Die Auflösung/Schärfe hat Grenzen, aber entscheide gern selbst ob Du sie verwenden möchtest. LG --Superbass (talk) 15:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Super. Danke dir! --Lichtspielhaus (talk) 10:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Earth 2024 - Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Mai bis zum 30. Juni 2024 findet zum zwölften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth (kurz: WLE) statt. Dabei können wie immer Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Geotope und Naturdenkmäler oder andere Schutzgebiete fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Der Wettbewerb ist zweigeteilt, das heißt, wir unterscheiden zwischen den beiden Wettbewerbskategorien Landschaft und Detail/Makro. Zur Wettbewerbskategorie Landschaft zählen auch geschützte Einzelbäume. In der Wettbewerbskategorie Detail/Makro werden Pflanzen, Tiere und Pilze in den Schutzgebieten bewertet.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Naturdenkmälern wie alten Bäumen oder Naturparks im Gebirge und am Meer können Geotope wie Findlinge, Quellen und Aufschlüsse oder FFH-Gebiete fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. Auch im vergangenen Jahr sind zahlreiche neue Listen und Artikel in diesen Bereichen entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen – zum Beispiel in Bayern die Liste der Naturdenkmäler im Landkreis Landshut oder die Liste der geschützten Landschaftsbestandteile in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mit ihren Unterlisten oder gar einzelne Artikel wie die Landschaftsschutzgebiete Sommerschafweide an Buchhalden und Sommerschafweide auf Hilbertswiese in Baden-Württemberg.

Wir vergeben in diesem Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Fotos von Feldrainen und Feldgehölzen in geschützten Gebieten.

Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du bei WLE 2024 – Deutschland und unter dieser Anleitung.

Damit es ab 1. Mai mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Mai bis Mitte Juli 2024 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang August tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2024 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2024 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 17:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ich bin meiner Zeit wie immer weit voraus! Aber danke, das gehört zu den Menüpunkten in die man offenbar viel zu selten reinschaut, dann kann ich die anderen Bilder aus der Serie noch umdatieren und außerdem die Kameraeinstellungen anpassen!

Hier findest du alle ausgezeichneten Fotos.

Wir haben dir bereits den Link zu unserer Umfrage geschickt. Wenn du sie noch nicht ausgefüllt hast, würden wir uns freuen, wenn du noch bis zum Sonntag den 18. August teilnimmst.

Falls du nicht bis 2025 auf den nächsten Fotowettbewerb warten willst, kannst du im September bei Wiki Loves Monuments in Deutschland oder einem anderen der teilnehmenden Länder deine Fotos zum Thema Kulturerbe hochladen.

Noch einmal vielen Dank im Namen des Organisationsteams und der Jury GPSLeo (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 - Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

Sieger 2023 – Marksburg im Winter

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2024 findet zum 14. Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat Rolf Kranz mit einer Winteransicht der Marksburg und der Schornsteine der Blei- und Silberhütte Braubach gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2023 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel in Schenkenzell in Baden-Württemberg oder in Oyten in Niedersachsen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Bilder zum Thema „Kinderwelten“ ausgelobt. Zugelassen sind für den Sonderpreis auch Fotos von Bauwerken, die nicht denkmalgeschützt sind. Dieser Sonderpreis wird gemeinsam mit dem Klexikon vergeben.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2024 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang November tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Löschungsanträge

[edit]

Guten Morgen Superbass, willst du die beiden Löschungsanträge bezüglich der Grabsteine nicht wieder zurücknehmen, nachdem ich die Bilder durch andere Versionen ersetzt habe, die genügend Schmutz aufweisen und auf denen die Buchstaben der Inschriften teils vedeckt und teils verwaschen daherkommen, so wie es in dem zufälligen Zeitpunkt der Aufnahmen gerade war? Gisbert K (talk) 07:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hallo Gisbert K, ggf. werden die Löschanträge ja dann abgelehnt. Du solltest derartige Bildmanipulationen nicht hochladen und auf keinen Fall in Artikel einbauen. Bei den Grabsteinen war nicht nur deren reale Struktur sondern zudem auch noch Form und Proportion verändert worden - das ist ebenso unzulässig wie unnötig. --Superbass (talk) 20:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

FPC-Hinweis

[edit]

Hallo Superbass, Deine zuletzt hochgeladenen New-York-Fotos sind großartig! Möchtest Du sie nicht als Featured picture nominieren?

Insbesondere bei File:2024-11-19-Central Park-0669.jpg sehe ich sehr gute Chancen (natürlich ohne dass den Erfolg garantieren kann). Auch File:2024-11-17-Lower Manhattan-0593.jpg ist super, hier könnte eventuell die Perspektivenkorrektur noch eine winzige Verbesserung vertragen (mMn ist das Bild ganz leicht nach links geneigt). File:2024-11-17-Manhattan Bridge Dumbo-0407.jpg zeigt eine oft fotografierte Sicht, aber Deine Aufnahme ist (soweit ich sehe) mit Abstand die beste, die wir haben.

Ich würde die Bilder auch gerne meinerseits nominieren, aber im Moment habe ich schon zwei laufende Nominierungen und einige weitere vorgemerkt. Da Du bereits Erfahrungen mit dem Nominieren hast (Dein wunderbares Cologne Pride-Foto war ja erfolgreich), möchte ich Dich ermutigen, es selbst zu versuchen … wie gesagt, ohne Garantie, aber meine Pro-Stimme hast Du schon mal ;–). Beste Grüße, – Aristeas (talk) 10:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Danke für die Blumen und ja, das könnte ich mir vorstellen, aber ich mache es nicht direkt. Bei dem Panorama hast Du ja ein feines Auge, ich habe an der Wasserlinie gemessen tatsächlich 0,3 Grad Schieflage nicht gesehen und jetzt noch korrigiert :-) --Superbass (talk) 02:17, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 - Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

Motivideen von der WikiCon 2024

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Februar bis zum 31. März 2025 findet zum zweiten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Folklore (kurz: WLF) in Deutschland statt. Mögliche Motive sind gelebte Traditionen wie Feste, Aufführungen, Tänze, Musiktradition, Brauchtum, Spiele, Küche, Tracht, Märchen und Sagen. Viele dieser Kulturgüter sind als Immaterielles Kulturerbe gemäß der UNESCO-Konvention anerkannt. Du hast vergangenes Jahr teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Der englische Begriff Folklore umfasst vieles, was man im Deutschen unter Folklore versteht, aber er geht noch weiter. Schau nach gelebten Traditionen und Bräuchen in deiner Nähe.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Festen sind es Handwerkstraditionen oder Gerichte und Getränke, die auf Fotos von dir warten. Als Orientierung helfen das Bundesweite Verzeichnis des immateriellen Kulturerbes oder Landeslisten wie das Inventar des immateriellen Kulturerbes von Nordrhein-Westfalen oder das Landesverzeichnis Immaterielles Kulturerbe Thüringen. Es fehlen unter anderem Bilder vom Barther Kinderfest, Taubenmarkt in Dermbach, Grasedanz im Harz, Bergsteigen in Sachsen, der Fertigung von Flachglas im Mundblasverfahren, der Fastnacht an der Saar und vom Viezen oder vom Tanz Zwiefacher.

Unter Events haben wir eine kleine Übersicht mit Veranstaltungen in Deutschland, die zum Immateriellen Kulturerbe gehören. Vielleicht findest du dort auch Motive für das nächste Jahr.

Wir vergeben in diesem Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Videos und Audiodateien, da sich viele Traditionen gut im Video oder per Tonaufnahme darstellen lassen.

Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Dort sind die nationalen Listen des immateriellen Kulturerbes aufgeführt.

Damit es ab 1. Februar mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Februar bis Ende April 2025 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende Mai tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Folklore Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2025 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 19:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Einladung zu Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

auch in diesem Jahr beginnt am 1. Mai wieder der regionale Wettbewerb von Wiki Loves Earth (WLE) in Deutschland und läuft bis zum 30. Juni. Dabei können wie immer Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Landschaftsschutzgebiete und Naturdenkmäler oder andere Schutzgebiete fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Der Wettbewerb ist zweigeteilt, das heißt, wir unterscheiden zwischen den beiden Wettbewerbskategorien Landschaft und Detail/Makro. Zur Wettbewerbskategorie Landschaft zählen auch geschützte Einzelbäume. In der Wettbewerbskategorie Detail/Makro werden Pflanzen, Tiere und Pilze in den Schutzgebieten bewertet.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben als Naturdenkmal geschützten alten Bäumen oder den großen Nationalparks der Mittelgebirge und am Meer können auch kleine städtische Landschaftsschutzgebiete dokumentiert werden. Zu über 16.000 Naturdenkmalen und mehreren tausend Schutzgebieten haben wir noch keine Fotos. Wo noch Fotos fehlen, kannst du über die Karte oder die umfangreichen Listen in Wikipedia herausfinden.

In diesem Jahr wollen wir auch einen Fokus auf Geotope, wie Findlinge, Quellen oder Aufschlüsse, legen. Hierfür gibt es drei Sonderpreise zum Thema Geodiversität.

Damit es ab 1. Mai mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Mai bis voraussichtlich Ende Juli an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende August tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Deutschland.


Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Earth in Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2025 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams GPSLeo (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:03, 18 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

 Support A bit of noise despite ISO 100, but that's probably pixel-peeping. The framing of the subject is good, and the image is sharp despite the object vibrating in motion. I'm happy with this overall. --Benlisquare 19:10, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

Sieger 2024 – Verladeturm Oderhafen

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2025 findet zum 15. Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat GPSLeo mit dem Verladeturm Oderhafen Groß Neuendorf während eines Hochwassers gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2024 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel in Greiz in Thüringen oder in Königslutter am Elm in Niedersachsen. Nachdem es in Thüringen über lange Zeit nicht überall Kulturdenkmallisten gab, ist dieses Bundesland jetzt fast vollständig abgedeckt und die Listen freuen sich über Fotos. Hier findest du einen Einstieg in die Thüringer Listen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Bilder zum Thema „Bauernhöfe und Bauernhäuser“ ausgelobt.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2025 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang November tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 19:05, 25 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Earth 2025 – Deutschland – Ergebnisse veröffentlicht

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

die Ergebnisse von Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Deutschland sind nun veröffentlicht. Vorjury und Jury haben aus 8.000 Fotos im Wettbewerb die besten 50 Einreichungen in den Kategorien Landschaft und Detail, sowie im Sonderpreis, ausgezeichnet. Wenn deine Fotos unter den ersten Plätzen sind und du einen Gutscheinpreis erhältst, hast du bereits eine Nachricht erhalten.

Hier findest du alle ausgezeichneten Fotos.

Voraussichtlich im Mai und Juni 2026 findet die nächste Ausgabe von Wiki Loves Earth in Deutschland statt. Die erhältst kurz vorher eine Benachrichtigung. Wenn du nicht bis zum nächsten Jahr warten willst kannst du noch bis Ende des Monats bei Wiki Loves Monuments in Deutschland oder einem anderen der teilnehmenden Länder deine Fotos zum Thema Kulturerbe hochladen.

Im Namen des Organisationsteams und der Jury noch einmal vielen Dank für deine Teilnahme. GPSLeo (talk) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:34, 13 September 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.

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 - Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Februar bis zum 31. März 2026 findet zum dritten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Folklore (kurz: WLF) in Deutschland statt. Mögliche Motive sind gelebte Traditionen wie Feste, Aufführungen, Tänze, Musiktradition, Brauchtum, Spiele, Küche, Tracht, Märchen und Sagen. Viele dieser Kulturgüter sind als Immaterielles Kulturerbe gemäß der UNESCO-Konvention anerkannt. Du hast in den vergangenen Jahren teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Bei den drei Siegerbildern sind nur grandiose Motive aus Bayern dabei. Du kannst mit deinen Fotos helfen, Bayern vom Wiki-Loves-Folklore-Thron zu stoßen, du kannst aber auch dafür sorgen, dass Bayern den Titel erneut verteidigt.

Der englische Begriff Folklore umfasst vieles, was man im Deutschen unter Folklore versteht, aber er geht noch weiter. Schau nach gelebten Traditionen und Bräuchen in deiner Nähe.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Festen sind es Handwerkstraditionen oder Gerichte und Getränke, die auf Fotos von dir warten. Als Orientierung helfen das Bundesweite Verzeichnis des immateriellen Kulturerbes oder Landeslisten wie das Landesverzeichnis des Immateriellen Kulturerbes in Sachsen-Anhalt oder das Verzeichnis des Immateriellen Kulturerbes im Saarland. Es fehlen unter anderem Bilder vom Barther Kinderfest, Kulturformen der Nutzung bäuerlicher Gemeinschaftswälder im Steigerwald, Marktredwitzer Krippenkultur, Bad Dürrenberger Brunnenfest oder von der Fastnacht an der Saar.

Wir vergeben auch in diesem Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Videos und Audiodateien, da sich viele Traditionen gut im Video oder per Tonaufnahme darstellen lassen. Wir empfehlen, Videos kurz zu halten und sinnvoll zu schneiden.

Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Dort sind die nationalen Listen des immateriellen Kulturerbes aufgeführt.

Damit es ab dem 1. Februar mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 16. Februar bis Mitte April 2026 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende April tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool für Bilder ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und Passwort. Die Videos werden in einem separaten Vorjurytool bewertet, der Link wird später auf unseren Seiten bekanntgegeben.

In diesem Jahr gibt es eine wichtige Regeländerung: Es können beliebig viele Bilder hochgeladen werden, aber nur die besten 50 Bilder pro Fotograf:in werden von der Hauptjury bewertet. Wir freuen uns weiterhin auf interessante Fotoserien von dir. Aber nutze dafür die Category:Images from Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Germany not for prejury und lege nur die besten Bilder der Jury vor.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Folklore Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2026 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:47, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 has started, Join us!

[edit]

Hello Superbass,

The world’s traditions are disappearing faster than we can document them, but you can help change that.

On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team, we are reaching out to invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of our global campaign.

Share Your Cultural Heritage with the World

Wiki Loves Folklore is an international media contest dedicated to documenting the "intangible" beauty of our cultures. Whether it’s the vibrant colours of a folk festival, the rhythm of a traditional dance, the secrets of a family recipe, or the legends of your hometown, your media helps preserve these legacies for generations to come.

How You Can Contribute Participating is simple, and every upload contributes to the world's largest free knowledge repository:

  • Capture: Take photos, record videos, or capture audio of folk activities, music, mythology, or traditional wear.
  • Upload: Share your files on Wikimedia Commons between 1 February 2026 and 31 March 2026.
  • Win: Beyond the satisfaction of preservation, there are international prizes for the most impactful contributions.

Ready to get started? Click here to upload your media now or visit the Main Project Page for full rules and category details.

Your perspective is a vital piece of the global cultural puzzle. We can't wait to see the folklore you bring to life.

Warm regards,

#WeTogether

Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

Einladung zu Wiki Loves Earth 2026 in Deutschland

[edit]

Hallo Superbass,

bald ist wieder der 1. Mai, an dem die Wiki-Loves-Earth-Saison in Deutschland beginnt, die bis zum 30. Juni läuft. Dabei können wie immer Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Landschaftsschutzgebiete und Naturdenkmäler oder andere Schutzgebiete fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos! In diesem Jahr möchten wir einen weiteren Meilenstein erreichten: 50 % aller Schutzgebiete sollen bebildert sein. Dafür fehlen uns noch Fotos aus etwa 900 Gebieten. Auch in deiner Nähe!

Der Wettbewerb ist zweigeteilt, das heißt, wir unterscheiden zwischen den beiden Wettbewerbskategorien Landschaft und Detail/Makro. Zur Wettbewerbskategorie Landschaft zählen auch geschützte Einzelbäume. In der Wettbewerbskategorie Detail/Makro werden Fotos von Pflanzen, Tieren und Pilzen in den Schutzgebieten bewertet.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben als Naturdenkmal geschützten alten Bäumen oder den großen Nationalparks der Mittelgebirge und am Meer können auch große und kleine landwirtschaftlich geprägte Landschaftsschutzgebiete dokumentiert werden. Auch zu über 16.000 Naturdenkmalen haben wir noch keine Fotos. Wo noch Fotos fehlen, kannst du über die Karte oder die umfangreichen Listen in Wikipedia herausfinden.

In diesem Jahr können mal wieder auch Fotos außerhalb von Schutzgebieten am Wettbewerb teilnehmen. Dafür haben wir den Sonderpreis mit dem Thema Stadtnatur ausgerufen.

Damit es ab 1. Mai mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Mai bis zum 15. Juli an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende Juli tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2026 in Deutschland.

Here are your top three winning images:

You can view the full results and see where all your favorite images placed here: Full 2025 Results

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.

Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
