I recommend sending an official copyright complaint, I can help. Nemo 19:19, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Nemo thanks very much for the notification. How do you suggest that I file a complaint? --Pine (✉) 22:48, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
First of all, you should register your copyright, maybe for the entire group of photos (considering them published on Commons). That should cost 55 $. More than three months passed, but you don't want to ask for 150 k$ of statutory damages anyway.
Then, I suggest that you apply at https://photoclaim.com/ . I'm in contact with them and they're good people who really care about photography: they're effective without behaving like copyright trolls. Nemo 08:44, 3 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Nemo. Rather than go through that level of work, I sent Microsoft a notice of infringement. Hopefully that will get the problem fixed. I'm not interested in monetary damages for this, but I definitely want them to follow licensing requirements, and I think that they should know better than to publish an image with inadequate attribution. --Pine (✉) 01:18, 8 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Join the first national Wiki Science Competition 2025 in India from 1 Nov to 15 Dec

[edit]

Hello Pine!,

You are receiving this message as you have previously participated in one of the Wiki Loves X campaigns or are an active Wikimedia Commons contributor.

We’re excited to announce that the Wiki Science Competition 2025 in India is being organized for the very first time at a national level. This global campaign celebrates science through freely licensed images, videos, and other media on Wikimedia Commons. By participating, you help make science more visible, accessible, and inspiring to people everywhere.

The competition features eight exciting categories:

  1. People in Science
  2. Microscopy
  3. Astronomy
  4. Everyday Science
  5. Scientific Equipment
  6. Chemistry
  7. Physics
  8. Special Category

Campaign Duration: The competition will run from 1 November to 15 December 2025. You can upload your images anytime during this period.

Images taken before 1 November 2025 are also eligible, as long as they have never been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons before.

We’re excited to introduce the first-ever dedicated "Mobile Photography" participation option. Now, you can upload photographs taken with your mobile phone directly through a special upload wizard.

This new option is designed to encourage students and individuals who may not have access to high-end cameras like DSLRs to participate. Whether your images are captured using a mobile phone or a professional DSLR, all submissions will be judged equally within the relevant category. This ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to capture and share the wonders of science from their own perspective.

Please visit the official pages for more details:

We look forward to your participation and support in making this national campaign a great success. It’s your chance to participate, get recognized, and show how science looks through your lens!. Thank you.
