Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States 2025

Hello! In 2024, you contributed to Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Thanks to people like you, we had over 350 participants upload more than 2,700 photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the country. Hundreds of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, improving our open knowledge about United States history, culture, and heritage. If you haven't seen them yet, you can view the top-ten winners of the US competition here.

We're back with Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in the United States throughout the month of October, and I'd like to welcome you to participate again. Check out our event page for more information.

New to this year, in addition to our typical top-ten prizes, we have new prize categories for the following:

• Most sites newly photographed
• Top 2 Native American site photos
• Top 2 UAV (drone) photos

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2024, and we hope to see you again in this year's event! If you have any questions, please leave them on the event talk page.

Screenshots in WLM US 2025

Kevin, are users allowed to upload screenshots of images? I can't find a specific rule stating this, but believe since the user mentioned they are screenshots, how can it be proven to be their work? See File:Fort King George1.jpg and File:Fort King George2.jpg. Ktkvtsh (talk) 21:00, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ktkvtsh: Apologies for the late response. It's not unheard of for users to upload screenshots of their own work (usually if they have limited technical knowledge when it comes to files and sharing), but yes, it can be a red flag. We can reverse image search to try to see if the image(s) exist elsewhere on the internet, or ask the user to upload the actual original files, or otherwise open a deletion discussion if we have reasonable doubt on it being their own work. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 03:19, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
