Chicago is not in Ecuador
Hi. You transferred some images from Flickr which show Chicago and are clearly captioned/entitled as Chicago, and categorized them as "Ecuador". Eg File:Chicago Skyscraper "Marina City" (6130841864).jpg which I fixed, but there are others you might wish to take a look at. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:57, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- Vienna isn't in Ecuador either :-) File:Vienna city hall, christmas fair (2097455480).jpg Thanks for your attention -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:59, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- I've just fixed about fifty of these. It's really not helpful to the rest of us to be so careless in uploading. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:40, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- I am really sorry @Andy Dingley and @Infrogmation about that. It was just a blind guess as from the tip of the iceberg it seemed everything is from Ecuador (I was doing mass flickr2commons). Sorry again. Contributers2020Talk to me here 21:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Contributers2020!
Contributers2020,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Commons.
–Davey2010Talk 13:33, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you Davey2010 so much for that kind wish. I wish you the very same! --Contributers2020Talk to me here 17:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Contributers2020, Please accept my apologies I didn't read the contents as I assumed it was the same as the English Wikipedia version but apparently not, Unfortunately I only remembered about Commons when I was in bed and then fast forward 10 hours I was busy since the moment I woke up so had quickly sent these assuming all would be perfect but nope apparently not lol,
- Anyway I've swapped the previous greeting with an EN one, Sorry again, I hope you and yours have a happy, healthy and safe New Year Contributers2020, Warmest Regards, –Davey2010Talk 21:04, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Also thank you for updating the HNY template, Not the first time I've made this mistake of using an out of date template here and probably wont be the last. Thanks again!, –Davey2010Talk 21:04, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Davey that was seriously not a big deal...Thanks again. --Contributers2020Talk to me here 03:51, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!
Hi Contributers2020, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:
- Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
- Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
- Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

- I have changed your rights from indef to one month, You can come back again in a month. --- FitIndia Talk ✉ 20:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Okay @Fitindia.
Just curious, why like this?--Contributers2020Talk to me here 02:56, 6 January 2022 (UTC)- Understand now...Even thanks Fitindia for just giving me a chance for one month rather than removing it again because of Andy. --Contributers2020Talk to me here 03:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Okay @Fitindia.
Your most memorable shot of 2021
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)
Break
Hello everyone,
I had taken a break of a month, and now I am available! Contact for anything! Contributers2020Talk to me here! 12:23, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Regarding #653759525...
... I'd like to note that it isn't necessary. The timestamp is completely wrong and it was well signed using {{Unsigned}}. So, I have reverted the edit. Thanks, Hulged (talk) 10:27, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ohh okay thanks for showing me that Hulged. --Contributers2020Talk to me here! 12:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- No problem. -- Hulged (talk) 13:59, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
You have deleted my copyrighted photo!
Please back my photo. I own it. AsadNoor.BD (talk) 09:13, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have submitted from my side, This photo was taken by me using camera self timer. AsadNoor.BD (talk) 09:24, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello AsadNoor.BD. First of all as per the administrators, the picture was out of scope, and that is the original rationale to delete it, not about the permission or something. If you think it is not correct, you may contact the deleting admin who is George Chernilevsky or straight up go to COM:UNDEL and request there for undeletion. Thanks, Contributers2020Talk to me here! 09:33, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…
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)

Question from the CPUG Board
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.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023
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)
Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 the two 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.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
You are receiving this message because you voted in the 2021 Picture of the Year contest.

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you
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)
Autopatrol given
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:16, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
