Request
[edit]Can you update the File:Time Zones of the Middle East.svg, because Northern Cyprus, following Turkey, has abolished daylight saving and is permanently fixed on en:UTC+3 (en:Further-eastern European Time).
Here are the sources: http://famagusta-gazette.com/cyprus-will-have-two-time-zones-from-next-month-p36121-69.htm http://www.rte.ie/news/2016/0908/815258-turkey-daylight-saving/ http://www.news24.com/Green/News/turkey-scraps-winter-clock-change-20160908 http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/09/09/un-two-sides-will-decide-address-time-zone-problem/
Could you also either get rid of the neighboring countries shaded in gray or include all of them? The map doesn't look aesthetically pretty with some of the neighboring countries missing in the map. It looks like a jigsaw puzzle missing its pieces.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 31.200.19.47 (talk) 08:43, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello there,
First, I would like to thank you for the aforementioned file. It's way better than the old .png version, both in design and readability. There's a problem however with Cape Verde on it, as it's very hard to even see the orange color. The english Wikipedia template even puts a note indicating where Cape Verde is. As so, I would like to humbly request, if it's not to much work, if it's possible to add a zoom box, like they normally do on US maps with Hawaii (example). I don't actually know the viability of this request, so I apologize If it's too much of a hassle. Thanks in advance anyway. Best regards, Épico (talk)/(contribs) 00:48, 3 January 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 Cyfraw,
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 08:42, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
