Media of the day

someone forgot to put the media --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael (marhata) 09:07, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeromi Mikhael: No, it was not forgotten, it was unfortunately vandalized. (The vandalism was reverted, although it’s midnight in the meanwhile, so it doesn’t matter anymore.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:02, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Audio Files in WikimediaCommons

Hello Wikimedians,

It is my pleasure to inform the general public in Wikimedia Commons about an upcoming project event, which We will like carry, this project will extremely focus on how to record, convert and upload audio files into Wikimedia Commons.

The fact that many users find it very difficult to convert audio files from mp3 to .ogg extension format, that makes users unwillingly to contribute with audio files into Wikimedia Commons.

Moreover, audio files are needed, so users to contribute with that are also needed, it will be my own pleasure if you join us in this course, read the page here in Meta, feel free to contact me in my talk page. Sadauki11 (talk) 15:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sadauki11: Please see and help improve COM:AUDIO, and use internal links.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 17:16, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mark this page for translation

I think we should mark this page for translation, and the translated links of Main Page to Main Page/xyz, because:

  • It's easier to search the translated version
  • It can easily change the version

So we should mark this page for translation, and changing the old links to the new links. Thingofme (talk) 00:49, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Website

Hello, what type of license do the images on this site have? Can I use them in wikipedia? Your admirer --AngryBiceps (talk) 21:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no specific license stated for modern images on a website, assume they are copyrighted and not suitable for Commons. (English language wikipedia allows some limited "fair use" of copyrighted material, but not here on Commons.) Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in Media of the day for January 1st

It says "Loopend gif" instead of "Looped gif". —⁠andrybak (talk) 22:09, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Yann (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, you changed "looped" to "loopend" in the filename, which I've undone (including undoing CommonsDelinker's replacements of the file, including at my enwiki user talk page archive where I noticed this. I've also gone and fixed the typo properly at the description page and at Template:Motd/2022-01-01 (en). Graham87 (talk) 03:38, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
