This Saturday, the aggressor country Russia launched a strike on the cities of Ukraine, firing 38 missiles. In particular, they hit a nine-story building in Dnipro with 16 entrances, where about 1,700 people lived. So far, 12 dead and 64 injured are known.
There are civilian casualties in other cities of Ukraine as well.
There was one rocket explosion in Vinnytsia and one not far from Vinnytsia. Air defense was also heard. Emergency blackouts also become longer.

Hi George. I notice that you recently closed a couple of deletion discussions that I started and though they were closed as "deleted" a couple of the nominated files were not actually deleted. Can you please have a second look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:My way of religion.png and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mekukabin? Thank you.

Hello George, hope all is (relatively) well? Coming across these images, I ended up with this gentlemen. Probably a family business? Since my knowledge of the Ukranian language is next to nill, I would be very much obliged if you could ad the correct name in English. thank you so much for your time.

Hello Geoge, this file should be renamed because of #2. If you have a spare minute, could you add it to Q65209469. Thank you so much. Lotje (talk) 17:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello George, hope you are (relatively) okay? Could you take a look at the recent edit I made on wikidata? This and this image are in the Category:Private collections and that is not what the category is meant for. If one of them would be suitable to add to the article/Wikidata, I could do so and recategorizie under Category:Female writers from Ukraine. Thank you for your time George.

Hello George, in these terrible times, would you take a look at the files from this user? Are they out of scope? If not, is a remane needed and could they be added them to the Category:Lawyers from Ukraine? Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 09:01, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello George, at Category:Media requiring renaming we have right now many file renaming requests for photos from the Ukraine. It would be best if these requests would be checked and handled by someone who speaks Ukrainian and knows the Ukraine well. Do you know somebody with filemover rights who could handle these requests? (I am a filemover but don’t speak Ukrainian, it’s a pity.) Just asking. All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello George, hope under the circumstances you are douging relatively well. Looking at this image, which makes me sad somehow, I wonder what the meaning/name of this beautiful sculpture is. Thank you so murch for your time. Cheers Lotje (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 are all 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.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hello George . Would you know where this beautifull painting has been made? Thanks a lot Lotje (talk) 16:26, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello George, I hope that under the circumstances you are doing relatively well. I would like to ask a favour of you because you are an experienced Ukrainian admin and a friendly, communicative person; therefore I hope you can clear up a little misunderstanding and by this settle some trouble.
User Radomianin does a great job in Commons maintenance. One of his last undertakings was to browser all the photos contributed to Wiki Loves Folklore and to check if photos which show persons contain a {{Consent}}or{{Personality rights}} template; if not, Radomianin has added the {{Personality rights}} template. As I understand it, this is the right thing to do and very helpful, as it makes any users of the photos aware of the privacy rights. Now an Ukrainian user, Микола Василечко, has misunderstood Radomianin’s changes. He has warned Radomianin, accused him of vandalism (!) and reverted changes to Ukrainian photos (diff link). Obviously Микола did not understand that Radomianin just wanted to help him and all other users. I guess that Микола misunderstood the meaning of the {{Personality rights}} template, and he also seems not to know that it is allowed (and often welcome) that other users change the description page for photos by adding categories, templates etc., because Commons is a collaborative project.
In my opinion, this dispute is annoying, especially because Radomianin only wanted to help. It would be great if you could briefly explain to Микола in Ukrainian what the {{Personality rights}} template means and that such changes are allowed and do not constitute vandalism. That would be great to settle the dispute and avoid such disputes in the future.
Thank you very very much! I wish you and your family all the best. May the nightmare of the Russian war end soon and may the complete Ukraine achieve peace, freedom, and prosperity! --Aristeas (talk) 16:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

У конкурсі є серйозне обмеження за часом створення фото- та відеоматерілів — тільки роботи зняті до 30 червня 2023 року включно приймаються. Однак, є виняток — спецномінація «Інтер'єри», де можна подавати файли, які зроблені й під час конкурсу. Також, якщо є, можна відсканувати світлини, зроблені плівковим фотоапаратом на спецномінацію «Фотоплівка». Усі номінації та спецномінації перелічено тут).
