Wiikipedia is taking second round finalist votes for photo of the year. Hurry, please look, and vote!
Wikipedia is holding round 2 voting for picture of the year 2021. (I have no idea why voting wasn't back in January; probably to let people pick pictures to nominate for first round.) The link to vote is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Comm ... _Year/2021 there are many stunningly beautiful pictures, and even if you don't want to vote (or you lack the minimum qualifications of an account with at least 75 edits before 1/1/2022). The contest closes 12/15 so hurry because this will be the finalist selection. There are a few pictures I did not like, the fuzzy spider is, as Schwartzenegger said in Predator, "one ugly motherfucker."

Thanks for posting this. Wikipedia can die in a house fire, though.

Some of the photos are pretty cool and some are kinda pretentious. I can't vote because I don't edit at Wiki.
This is my new favorite, even if it's not in the list of contestants

That's a cool picture man. I like that!
This is the only Wikipedia article I ever edited:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_deficiency
Why? One day I was flipping through junkmail and came across this random page or card that showed an adult man that had some sort of mental handicap and it was talking about adults affected by this and was asking for donations. I felt sorry for the dude and wanted to know more about what this condition even was as I had never heard of it before. Then I discover an article that was hard to read (much less understand) due to spelling and grammar errors; so I fixed them.

The poor grammar and shaky hands are a symptom.
