Театр оперы и балета

edit

Большое спасибо за загруженные фотографии Улан-Удэ. К сожалению, фотографию театра я буду вынужден вынести на удаление. Дело в том, что в России нет так называемой свободы панорамы, и здание переходит в общественную собственность лишь через 70 лет после смерти архитектора. Фотографии таких зданий нельзя грузить на Викисклад. Фотографии зданий дореволюционной постройки можно загружать без ограничений. Если будут вопросы или возникнут проблемы, обращайтесь ко мне. Ещё раз спасибо.Ymblanter (talk) 13:14, 7 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Неправильно атрибутированные изображения.

edit

Уважаемый пользователь! Напоминаем вам, что вами были перепутаны изображения некоторых зданий в г. Улан-Удэ. Так, вместо здания по ул. Широких-Полянского, 23 было загружено фото Михайловской церкви, расположенной на соседнем участке по ул. Красногвардейской, соответственно и название файла ошибочное. Нет фото многих зданий по ул. Куйбышева ( д. 20 и 26), Кирова, 37, Ленина 11 и 23. Кроме того фото строений по ул. Коммунистической 18 и 22 совпадают, в обоих категориях присутствует лишь фото дома 18. Пожалуйста, исправьте данное положение. Либо поищите эти файлы у себя на компьютере, либо, если для вас не затруднительно сфотографировать ещё раз эти здания, сделайте это.

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.

Hello SAKRI,

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

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!
