Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Alexrk2!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Can you add one of your graphics on my page LaDue Reservoir

Hi Alexrk2. I noticed that you are the author of File:Europe laea location map.svg. I've used your map as a template a couple times. Thanks for that. I wonder if you are able to make a version which also includes Greenland? I'd like to make a map of the Norway and her dependencies in the 13th century; so the map would feature locations in Scandinavia, the British Isles, Iceland and Greenland, etc. File:Europe laea location map.svg is perfect except it only grazes Greenland. Can you make a version with Greenland included?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 05:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

That's OK. Don't worry, I'll figure something out.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 04:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Hallo, irgend etwas stimmt mit Deinen Änderungen in Berlin bei den Denkmalen nicht. Im Text steht da: [[Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Berlin-{{{Ortsteil}}}]]. Ich glaube nicht, dass das richtig ist. MfG -- ClemensFranz (talk) 19:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, ja das liegt an der Vorlage. Die wurde mal um den Parameter "Ortsteil" erweitert, mit dem Problem, dass jetzt überall wo der Parameter noch fehlt, dieser Text im Fließtext steht. Ich kenne mich mit den Vorlagen leider auch nicht sonderlich aus, um es selbst beheben zu können. Hatte auch schonmal in der Vorlagenwerkstatt angefragt - bislang aber ohne Feedback. --Alexrk2 (talk) 22:25, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Danke für die Antwort. Wenn ich diesen Fehler nochmal sehen, ändere ich das dann entsprechend. Eine andere Frage: Ich habe viele Bilder hochgeladen, die noch nicht in der Category:Clemens Franz sind. Kannst Du so etwas machen? -- Clemens Franz (talk) 16:12, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

PS: die Frage gilt natürlich nur, wenn Du einen BOT betreibst. -- Clemens Franz (talk) 18:55, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Müsst mir das mal anschauen, ob das geht (sofern es nicht mehr als ~5000 sind). --Alexrk2 (talk) 17:35, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I saw that you created the locator map for Maryland (File:USA Maryland location map.svg). If it isn't a problem, I was wondering if you could make a locator map for the city of Baltimore? Solar-Wind (talk) 14:42, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean a location map similar like this map? --Alexrk2 (talk) 20:09, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that was the kind of map I had in mind. I edit a lot of Baltimore articles for buildings/monuments, and the locator map for Maryland is too large to clearly show their location in Baltimore. Solar-Wind (talk) 23:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I have created the map and template.. en:Template:Location map United States Baltimore. Btw. in the other Wikis we have integrated the OpenStreetMap-Widget directly as a embedded, collapsible window. Look for example at the article de:Brooklyn and click on the hyperlink "Karte" (upper right corner). I don't know, why EN didn't use the embedded OSM map, but I guess, this would supersede these static city location maps in most cases. --Alexrk2 (talk) 21:49, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I didn't know about that. Thank you very much for the map, I greatly appreciate it. Solar-Wind (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Baustein für Digitale farbige Orthophotos

Hallo Alexrk2, nachdem ich heute auch von der Senatsverwaltung die Bestätigung bekommen habe, dass die Digitalen farbigen Orthophotos Geodaten im Sinne der Nutzungsbestimmungen sind, habe ich brav meiner Ankündigungen taten folgen lassen. ;-) Einen Vorschlag für einen eigenen Freigabebaustein findest Du unter: User:Yellowcard/Attribution-SenStadtUm-Berlin/de. Anmerkungen bzw. Änderungen sind willkommen. Viele Grüße, Yellowcard (talk) 19:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Yellowcard, vielen Dank. Ich würd nur gern den Begriff "Foto" entsprechend der NutzIII abändern. Ich weiß, das Wort "Geodaten" stößt bei manchen auf Unverständnis, aber das trifft es mE. doch am ehesten. Außerdem stell ich mir jetzt die Frage, ob wir denn für die zwei dutzend weiteren Arten von Geodaten auch jedesmal erst ein OTRS-Ticket einholen müssen? Das wär ja irgendwie ein wenig unsinnig. --Alexrk2 (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey Alex, wir können den Begriff gern auf Geodaten ausweiten. Ich war jetzt unterbewusst davon ausgegangen, dass die Fotos im Wesentlichen die einzigen Geodaten sind, die wir hier auf Commons nutzen können. Wenn man genauer drüber nachdenkt, kommt man recht schnell zu dem Schluss, dass dem nicht so ist und es da noch weit mehr Nutzungsmöglichkeiten gibt. Ich versuche mal, den Baustein entsprechend weniger eingeschränkt auf bestimmte Werkklassen zu formulieren. Grüße, Yellowcard (talk) 22:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Habe jetzt Foto durch „Datei“ ersetzt. Ein wirklich besserer Begriff ist mir mangels Singularform von Geodaten nicht eingefallen. Passt das so? Ansonsten nimmt man halt direkt den Begriff Geodaten (im Plural). Würde auch gehen, mir ist's gleich. Grüße, Yellowcard (talk) 23:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC) PS: Den expliziten Hinweis, dass die Fotos auch Geodaten sind, habe ich mal rausgenommen. Falls daran nochmal Zweifel aufkommen, steht es ja explizit in dem Ticket. Außerdem ist dort die PDF-Datei mit den Nutzungsbestimmungen hinterlegt, falls sich der Link auf das Dokument der Senatsverwaltung ändern bzw. nich erreichbar sein sollte. Somit müsste man den Baustein jetzt eigentlich für alle Arten von Geodaten gleichermaßen nutzen können, oder?

Ich glaube nicht dass ich so ein übergroßes Aufmerksamkeits- oder Anerkennungsbedürfnis habe, aber könnt ihr (bzw. vor allem Yellowcard) mir sagen wieso ihr nicht den bereits existierenden Baustein verwendet bzw. zumindest überschreibt?    FDMS  4    23:54, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Mhm, rate mal – vielleicht, weil ich von diesem Baustein nichts wusste? Meinst Du, ich mache mir freiwillig die zusätzliche Arbeit? Yellowcard (talk) 09:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Ach so :( . Ich habe mal deine deutschsprachige Übersetzung einfach übernommen: [1] … Oder hast du besondere Gründe deinen Baustein zu präferieren?    FDMS  4    12:10, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Nein, kannst Du gern übernehmen – die wesentlichen Formulierungen stammen ja sowieso nicht von mir, sondern direkt aus der Freigabeerklärung. Ich fände es einzig gut, wenn man noch das Copyleft-Zeichen mit einbindet, damit auch beim ersten Blick klar wird, dass die Daten nicht bedingungslos gemeinfrei sind (im Moment ähnelt der Baustein IMO sehr {{PD-self}} und ähnlichen). Viele Grüße Yellowcard (talk) 14:00, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

{{PD-self}} hat ein rundes PD-Symbol (und

PD-Layout

statt

), würde da ein ähnliches rundes Copyleft-Symbol nicht für mehr Verwirrung sorgen? Wir könnten ein Wappen von Berlin wählen, so wie das bei {{OGL}} gemacht wurde …    FDMS  4    16:31, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Verwirrung glaube ich nicht, da die Bedingungen ja sehr ähnlich sind. Was hälst Du denn von dem Layout von User:Yellowcard/Attribution-SenStadtUm-Berlin/layout? Gruß Yellowcard (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Nur kurz zur Info: Ich habe nicht darauf vergessen und werde dir noch antworten.    FDMS  4    15:10, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

@Yellowcard: Sorry für die späte Antwort, ich habe den Baustein angepasst. Auch wenn der grüne Hintergrund meiner Meinung nach nicht sehr hübsch und zudem unüblich ist ist er wohl der angebrachtere.    FDMS  4    15:40, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

@FDMS4: Danke! Ich finde, er sieht gut aus und passt sich zumindest {{Copyrighted free use}} an, welche ja mehr oder weniger dieselben Bedinungen für die Nachnutzung aufweisen.

@Alexrk2: Sorry, dass wir hier Deine Benutzerdisk gekarpert haben. Wir können dafür jetzt die Luftbilder m.E. massenhaft hier hochladen. Weißt Du, um wieviele es da geht? Viele Grüße, Yellowcard (talk) 08:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Nevermind. Schaut super aus, danke nochmal. Für meine Zwecke verwende bei Bedarf was aus der Quelle (wo es für die Artikelarbeit interessant erscheint). Ich werd auch in der Berliner Runde nochmal darauf aufmerksam machen, dass wir Werke aus dieser Quelle für unsere Arbeit (dann über diesen Baustein) verwenden können. Ein Massenupload nach Commons oder ist soweit ich weiß nicht angedacht. Es sei denn, die WMDE hat diesbezüglich irgendwelche Pläne - das weiß ich nicht. PS: ein entsprechender Baustein für die GeoNutzV auf Bundesebene wäre früher oder später auch nützlich. Zurzeit evaluiere ich grad die freien Daten vom Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie, inwieweit man die zur Erstellung eigener Karten einsetzen kann. Da fällt mir noch auf: wenn man (ähnlich wie aus OpenStreetMap-Daten) eigene abgeleitet Werke (produced works) erzeugt, dann gehen wir ja im Falle OSM zurzeit so vor, dass wir OSM nur als Quelle nennen ({{ODbL OpenStreetMap}}) und parallel dann eine Lizenz wie CC-BY-SA einsetzen. Dasselbe, wenn wir Daten unterschiedlicher Quellen (zB. aus OSM und vom Bundesamt) vermischen, was ja grad bei Karten häufig vorkommt. In dem Fall würd ich wohl einfach das Bundesamt und die GeoNutzV zusammen mit den anderen verwendeten Quellen unter "Permission" eintragen? --Alexrk2 (talk) 15:11, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze

Hallo Alexrk2,

in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.

Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.

In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.

Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)

Wind speeds map request

Hi, I noticed your windkraftanlagen in 2007 image. I was wondering whether you would like to make a new "Average wind speeds at 10m" and a new "Average wind speeds at 80m" image. I uploaded these a while back but have been deleted since then since the permissions of these were appearantly not suffient (I had permissions from the authors, but there were still some legal issues). So, if you can simply take over the dots of those maps and put them on a new world map (say https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/BlankMap-World-large.png ) that would eliminate those legal issues, and the files can be reuploaded to wikimedia, and benefit the environmental movement.

The maps can still be found at http://windturbineins.com/_literature_64415/Wind_Power_Overview (wind atlas), and I think at some other sites, ... as well.

KVDP

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo Alexrk2,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

( Bernd Gross, 6. August 2015)

Request help

Hello! I see that you made a nice little map image at File:USA Iowa location map.svg. I like the functionality of dropping coordinates/points on the map to indicate various locations. I would like to have maps that fit within the Wikipedia style for Wikipedia articles Great Plains Athletic Conference (South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa), Heart of America Athletic Conference (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri), and the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (Kansas and Oklahoma). If they look good, I'd like to add such maps for each sports conference at that level (NAIA).

I'd ultimately like to learn how to make these background maps. I've got a working understanding of template:Location map+, but am having trouble getting the right image behind it. Can you advise?--Paulmcdonald (talk) 21:45, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

You opinion

I noticed that you are very good at map making. Would you have a moment to look at w:Talk:Manassas, Virginia#RfC about the large map of surrounding counties? Perhaps this map can be reduced in size, but still have legible text. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:32, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

File:EU OCT and OMR map en.png requires updating

Hi Alexrk2,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed File:EU OCT and OMR map en.png is out of date. The status of Bermuda may have changed since it joined OCTA in 2014, also the situation with Netherlands Antilles is clearly outdated. While you at it, please also consider saving it in a vector format. Could you update it? Thanks again. Cherkash (talk) 20:22, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Renaming of file

Hi, Alexrk2, this file should be renamed because of #2. I would suggest: File:RODI - CITTA copper engraving by BERTELLI Donato 06017.jpg. Since you were the uploader, thnk you for your comment. :) Lotje (talk) 06:26, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Commons bot inactivity

Hello!

Your bot has been listed at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag 5 as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure we'd like to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you wish for your bot to retain it's bot flag, please speak up on the deflag page. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can re-request the bot flag at Commons:Bots/Requests should you need it again. Regards, ~riley (talk) 22:37, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

River choice on File:Europe_laea_location_map.svg

Hi Alex, I hope you are well. I came across your wonderful map of rivers of Europe, but was wondering about choices that seem a bit weird to me, and was hoping you could clarify your thinking or whether they might be unintentional. If you look at the Loire on the map, for example, it starts as the Loire, but then upstream of the confluence of the Loire and the Allier, it follows the Allier rather than the Loire (see File:MapAllier.jpg). Something similar seems to happen with the Drava, which seems to disappear after the confluence with the Mur, and your map instead seems to follow the Mur. Same with Neman vs Neris... Was this intentional? Cheers, Storkk (talk) 06:56, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Ever work with Shapefiles or GeoJSON?

Hi Alexrk2 - love all of your maps. Thanks for your contributions!

I'm working with the WikiMaps group & am looking to build Wikimedia's volume of GIS-based data files for historical maps. Is there any chance you've built some maps in any GIS formats and then converted them to SVG? Or, do you have any georeferenced svg's? Thanks in advance for any help. --Jeffme (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

File:USA_Alaska_location_map.svg

When I viewed the SVG file in my browser (Firefox 61), the borders and water features rendered were clipped at 800x619 instead of the entire map (on Chrome, only the oceans rendered, no border or river lines). I DLed the file and took a look, and noticed 800 and 619 used as dimensions several times in the XML, and tried seeing what would happen if I changed those to match the full dimensions of the image. The result in Firefox worked as expected of the original (and looked like the PNG versions on WP), though Chrome still didn't render it correctly. My SVG skills are very limited, so I was wondering if you could revisit your file on WP and see if there was any correction to be made (I do not trust my own edit of the DLed file, despite it working on my side).

Wiki Loves Monuments France 2019

Bonjour,

Le concours Wiki Loves Monuments France est de retour et ouvert jusqu'à 31 septembre ! Déjà 8310 photos ont été importés cette année, vous aussi rejoignez le concours !

Le concours concerne tous les monuments présents dans la base Mérimée (qu'ils soient classés, inscrits ou simplement classés). De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la chapelle au coin de la rue aux mégalithes en forêt, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Où que vous soyez il y a des monuments autour de chez vous. Enfin, vous pouvez mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments. Pour information, le règlement est disponible sur le site du concours. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !

Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international sélectionnera ensuite des meilleures photographies mondiales.

Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.

P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France les années précédentes. Si vous avez déjà ou si ne pouvez pas participer au concours cette année, faites passer le message autour de vous pour que de nouveaux et nouvelles photographes rejoignent l'aventure !

Bonne journée,

Sarah Krichen WMFr et Nicolas Vigneron, pour l'équipe de Wiki Loves Monuments France, 14:50, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

USA Louisiana location map

Dear Alexrk2,

Smithsonian Folkways Recordings are currently in the process of developing a new series of curriculum materials (called Smithsonian Folkways Learning Pathways) for educators (mostly music and social studies educators). These unique resources place recordings from the Smithsonian Folkways collection at the center of the learning experience. These will be FREE resources for all educators, everywhere. Each learning pathway is a curated musical journey through a historical, cultural, or musical theme (e.g. Music of the Chicano Movement; Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement; Cajun & Zydeco Music; etc...).

As part of these learning pathways, we are creating interactive student slideshows that will help teachers facilitate learning experiences in any educational environment both in-person or online. We wanted to let you know that we will be using the 'USA Louisiana location map' image seen on your Wikimedia Commons webpage. We are planning to use the image for our 'Cajun and Zydeco' learning pathway. We know that the image is under Creative Commons, and we will make sure to give you the credit for the image.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USA_Louisiana_location_map.svg

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about any of the information.

King Regards, Gisele, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings ~~giseh

Michigan Shapefiles

Hello,

I'm attempting to do an update of the map for the Lansing-East Lansing, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area. However, I can't find a shapefile that shows counties+the Great Lakes. I have separate shapefiles, but they don't line up. I see some maps you've made, and they show the international border, Canada, the lakes...everything you need. Are you using multiple shapefiles for this? If so, which ones? --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:59, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Plus que quelques jours pour participer à Wiki Loves Monuments France !

Bonjour,

Le concours Wiki Loves Monuments France est ouvert pour une semaine encore, jusqu'au 30 septembre. Déjà plus de 6 000 photos ont été importées cette année alors vous aussi rejoignez le concours ! Cette campagne de contribution concerne tous les monuments et objets mobiliers présents dans la base Mérimée et dans la base Palissy. De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la verrière décorative au reliquaire, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Vous pouvez dès à présent mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments et objets du patrimoine français. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !

Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international constituera ensuite une sélection des meilleures photographies mondiales.

Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.

P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France
