@DerHexer:, pinging you here to help look into this request again please. It was requested late, and the contest kicks off today December 2nd so pleading if there is any help to help fast-track it so we can have as many photography enthusiasts contribute. Thanks.

Central Notice admin comments

• @Barakat (WUGN) and Kaizenify: I'm truly sorry but we will have to decline this request. It violates many of the CentralNotice guidelines: It was requested much too late. The request template is not fully filled. I cannot find local announcement of the campaign in the target wikis which is recommended for campaigns that target readers (and campaigns longer than two weeks). There is no banner proposal but just an English sentence and some photos. The banner and landing page are English only although you are requesting banners for several languages.
  All in all, it doesn't make sense to rush through all of these things to get a campaign ready. Please take more time for preparation for the next campaign request and ask for assistance from the CentralNotice admins because we really like to help, me too. I recommend you to read the guidelines and also take a look at my presentation on how to request campaigns. Sorry once again and best regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:20, 4 December 2024 (UTC) PS: I'm also pinging other active volunteer CN admins for their information: @Ciell, Johannnes89, Martin Urbanec, and Vermont:.
