POTY[edit]

I was under the impression that I wrote the script that we are using for POTY this year. But I would suggest leaving out the name completely because it is not important who did it but just that there is. -- Rillke (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note; I've altered the article accordingly. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 15:00, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. There were so many helpful people organizing POTY that it would be wrong just to mention one. -- Rillke (talk) 15:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a little more care: POTY is not a photo competition, all types of pictures are eligible, including photographs, diagrams, digital art, and restoration work, so long as they fit in with Commons' educational goals. "Photo" is not a generic word meaning "any type of image". I have corrected this for you, but this error was in the title, meaning hundreds of userpages got the wrong information posted directly to them.

My apologies, and your change here actually fixes it across all userpages. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 02:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, just an issue that should be noted, as the last thing we want to do is to discourage the people with less common skills from participating. =) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
