Inquiry regarding photographic accreditation via IRC

Hi a few days ago, I was on the IRC chat asking regarding admission to the wikinews "reporter" guild as a photographer. I left the IRC early as there was no answer within a few hours.You saw my request and asked me here via wikicommons. I would like to know if you can help me or have me a hint in which direction I could go. Regards. Wolkenjaeger (talk) 19:37, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Wolkenjaeger, when you upload next photo about a recent (newsworthy) event, please let me know. I am happy to help you write it as a photo essay report for Wikinews. This should help you get the accreditation (and as a result, better access to future events through the accreditation). Please let me know how it sounds to you.

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.

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 27 September 2025, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi Aafi, I clicked the link, at the top of the page the 'Vote now' button is greyed out. How do I vote now, please? Gryllida (talk) 19:50, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

FYI, @Giles Laurent, kindly address this query. 😌 _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 17:56, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Gryllida, the "vote now" buttons brings you to the gallery pages. From there just click on a gallery to start voting -- Giles Laurent (talk) 18:49, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi thank you for your reply. It didnt take me to gallery pages it did nothing at all. I tried clicking it. Now it says voting unavailable. Gryllida (talk) 20:43, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

You probably clicked the "Click here to vote now!" from the blue button in the message above. By doing that you already appear in the list of galleries. If you then click again on the vote now button while already being on the list of galleries then it does nothing because it's only purpose is to access the list of galleries page.

To vote during round 1 you should have clicked on a gallery, for example Arthropods, which would have brought you to this page where you could have voted for any picture from the Arthropods gallery. However, the Round 1 voting ended 28 September 00:00:00 UTC, so it is not possible to vote anymore for round 1 candidates.

But starting from 29 September 00:00:00 UTC you will be able to vote for up to 3 finalists in round 2. Here is the link to vote for the finalists

Kind regards,

-- Giles Laurent (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

that's a much better link thank you @Giles Laurent Gryllida (talk) 02:23, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
