Are the themes of December decided?

[edit]

Per title. Thanks! This is Taiwania Justo speaking (Reception Room) 13:08, 2 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Taiwania Justo Yes, see Commons:Photo challenge/2025 - December - Factory interiors and Commons:Photo challenge/2025 - December - Herders Wikisquack (talk) 14:45, 2 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, and where's the voting page about last month? This is Taiwania Justo speaking (Reception Room) 05:57, 3 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Pleae be a bit patient. All this work here is done by volunteers. If you don't want to be patient, create that page yourself. Kritzolina (talk) 06:37, 3 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Commons:Photo challenge/Voting, there are a bug that the voting page is not shown, and I checked the history but cannot find out the reason. How could I do? This is Taiwania Justo speaking (Reception Room) 04:18, 4 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Nothing, I found the solution. This is Taiwania Justo speaking (Reception Room) 05:14, 4 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I will be working on the voting page in the coming days. --Jarekt (talk) 17:14, 4 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

RfC: Should deleted images in the results posts be replaced with the next rank?

[edit]

If an image gets deleted because it's a copyright-violation (or a likely copyvio with VRT unanswered), should the image in the results post be replaced with the next-best image?
Currently, the result posts has (only) 3 spots for winning images.

  • Option 1: Yes, it should be replaced.
  • Option 2: No, it shouldn't be replaced.
  • Option 3: Other, e.g. only sometimes (clarify).

Please provide a rationale. Prototyperspective (talk) 16:58, 4 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

  • Option 1 – An image that uploaded as copyvio is not a legitimate entry and shouldn't take away the chances of winning and the ranks of other images. This is in part because it's unfair to the participants who upload own photos. There's only 3 winning images included in the winner posts so we really should use that space as much as possible and not waste it. It would also devalue the competition in that it would matter so little that we don't even replace an image of the just 3 (barely any) winning photos if it got deleted. Invalid / copyvios take away the ranks of valid photos. The actual top 3 places change when one of the unchecked ones gets deleted and this needs to be reflected in the winning photos posts.
