An apology

I apologise for inundating your talk page with deletion requests. I promise I did not intend to cause any offence. It seems that at a point last year you imported a number of photos from social media rather indiscriminately, and I discovered a number of them to be either out of scope or not in line with our copyright policies. It seems you are a very productive contributor, and your work is appreciated! I apologise for any inconvenience caused.–DMartin (talk) 00:12, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't have any issue with the quantity, and for that no apology is necessary.

I take issue with the quality, and veracity, of several of the nominations. Good stock images have been described as "personal"; and images not from Instagram have been described as being so. Several of those tagged as "COM:PRODUCT" are below ToO, and should at a minimum have been nominated for discussion rather than speedy deletion.

All the ones I described as Instagram, even though they were imported here from Flickr, were originally posted to Instagram. I'm more than happy to have things brought to deletion requests instead of speedy, but I'm inclined to attempt speedy first to avoid clogging up the deletion queue.–DMartin (talk) 05:33, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Why are you telling me this? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:38, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I just wanted some feedback on it Trade (talk) 22:37, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

It seems overly long, but otherwise I have no view. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:08, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Line art, again

I've asked Jerimee (talk · contribs) on their Talk page concerning line art again, this time because a whole range of items were added to Category:Line art despite not having any lines anywhere in the art. I received the usual hand-waving response about how "meanings overlap and evolve". I know that you've also been frustrated, but I think it's time some sort of action is taken, because the line art category is becoming meaningless. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:10, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

I agree; and encourage you to report the matter at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:55, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Commons-Photographers User Group-logo-en

As we step into a new year, we’re happy to invite you to take part in “Your Most Memorable Shot 2025.”

Since 2018, photographers from across the Wikimedia community have come together at the beginning of each year to share the photographs that meant the most to them over the past twelve months. Now in its eighth iteration, this tradition continues to be a space for reflection, storytelling, and celebrating meaningful moments through photography.

Whether you are a member of the Commons Photographers User Group or not, you are warmly welcome to participate and invite others too. Every image carries a story, and your perspective helps enrich this collective showcase.

Whenever you’re ready, please select your most cherished photograph from 2025 and share it on the designated page.

The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2026, so we hope you’ll join us before then.

We look forward to discovering the moments that made your year memorable and to continuing this wonderful tradition together.
