Hello everyone, I think it is important to let you know about the following crowdfunding campaign from February, which was started to support one of our contributors, photographers, and administrators, User:Rehman.[1] The campaign is currently at 21% (after 9 donations), with the last donation over 4 months ago. If succeeded, the funds from this campaign will enable Rehman to contribute high quality content from Sri Lanka and elsewhere. You may wish to see Rehman's photo gallery [2] for some of his current photos uploaded to Commons. I'm sure that Rehman will deeply appreciate even the tiniest of donations or help with spreading the word, if anyone is willing to support the campaign.[3] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman [2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman/Photos [3] - https://www.generosity.com/volunteer-fundraising/a-camera-and-workstation-f… Thank you, User:Azeez

Coming Friday: Freedom in Panorama in Belgium

by Romaine Wiki

Hi all! As announced earlier, Freedom of Panorama comes into force coming Friday 15 July 2016. Press release: https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_release_Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Belgium According to Belgian law, a law change comes into force on the 10th day after the publication in the Belgian journal (Belgisch Staatsblad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nl:Belgisch_Staatsblad> / Moniteur belge <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Moniteur_belge>). (source: fr <http://www.senate.be/doc/making-laws_fr.html>/nl <http://www.senate.be/www/?MIval=/index_senate&MENUID=14110&LANG=nl&PAGE=/do…> ) Publication took place on 5 July 2016. (source: fr <http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/article_body.pl?language=fr&pub_date=2…> /nl <http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/article_body.pl?language=nl&pub_date=2…> ) Some things need to be updated Friday: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_panorama https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:NoFoP-Belgium And created: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Belgium similar to Template:FoP-Nederland <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Nederland> and others in Category:FoP templates <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:FoP_templates>. About 1411 images that have been deleted on Commons as result of no Freedom of Panorama, need to be restored - similar to Public Domain Day <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain_Day>. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Belgian_FOP_cases Please make sure you categorise the restored files, which can mean that the category needs to be restored too. Based on the deletion log I will collect the restored images, similar to Public Domain Day. For those in Belgium (or close), be welcome to join our launch event in Brussels: https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_the_Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Belg… Thanks all! Romaine
