[edit]Hello Der-Wir-Ing, your recntly featured image (see above) was provided as pixel graphic (PNG). Do you have underlying vector graphic available and can you provide it as SVG (inkscape is a free converter)... would allow easy reuse e.g. for transaltions. cheers and thank you Shaddim (talk) 08:11, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Shaddim: sorry, it's the only version I have / made. --Der-Wir-Ing (talk) 15:46, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- May I ask what software did you use for creation? Inkscape, AI, Coreldraw, Word, LibreOffice all would allow PDF (vector) export which can be converted with Inkscape to SVG. Shaddim (talk) 17:05, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- The only software I had: Paint. (You can create pictures with Word?) --Der-Wir-Ing (talk) 17:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- I see ;) nevermind, thank you for creating the graph anyway! ;) Next time take a look at inkscpae, it is free (and open source) and great! Shaddim (talk) 17:23, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!
[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear Der-Wir-Ing,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 were 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.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
--Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 08:41, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
