Riders of the Purple Sage

edit

Hello! I am working on a digital copy of Riders of the Purple Sage over at Wikisource, and we've run into a bit of a problem. It seems that none of the digital copies currently on-line (Internet Archive, GoogleBooks, Hathi Trust, etc.) have quality images suitable for use in illustrating our copy of the first edition. I noticed that you had photographed the title page and frontispiece some time ago, and were still active on some projects. Would you be able to access a volume of Riders again, and prepare digital copies of all four images from the book? The on-going discussion is located at the English Wikisource here. Thanks for any help you can provide! --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:17, 15 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I just received this, and I'm afraid I don't have access to Riders. Good luck. Chick Bowen (talk) 22:29, 12 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
