Very nice. Good luck, Leo!
Somewhere in here there should be a showing of Monument Men.

All,
I am pleased to announce that Wikimedia District of Columbia has
selected
Leo Zimmermann to lead our Wikipedia Summer of
Monuments project. Leo's
experience running Wikipedia workshops and reaching out to rural
libraries
have prepared him for what is our largest
outreach project yet. The
object
of Summer of Monuments is to improve photographic
coverage of nationally
recognized historic sites in the Southern United States, a region that
is
underrepresented on Wikipedia. In particular, we
have identified ten
states
where photographic coverage lags behind: Georgia,
North Carolina,
Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and
Kansas.
Our plan is to build on the success we had with
Wiki Loves Monuments
with a
campaign of direct outreach to those historical
and cultural
institutions
who share our mission to improve access to the
world's knowledge. To
learn
more, read our latest blog post:

.
We invite Wikimedians and our allies to join us in this effort to share
history on Wikipedia!
