Any opinions? I'm positive for now :)

Betreff: Sponsorship Inquiry from Imagenomic
An: wikilovesmonuments-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello.
Our company produces high-quality software tools for photographers. We
regularly sponsor photo competitions, festivals and other special events.
I would like to know if the Wiki Loves Monuments contest organizers would
like to include our products as part of the award package.
Please see our website (www.imagenomic.com) for a general overview and let
me know if interested.
With best regards,
--David

Since yesterday, we have 17 participating countries in Wiki Loves Monuments.
Russia was able to join the contest after all (had some difficulties to get
things started) - and is participating with Saint Petersburg only. Welcome
Russia!

Do I understand correctly that nobody is serious about this?

1.0 assessments
I was going to discuss articles after the completion of September contest,
but just to make sure:
- Every article about any officially recognized monument in any country,
written in any language, is within the scope of the project;
- Articles are not part of 2011 competition in any way.
Right?
Cheers

FYI.
On the Swedish Wikipedia we have a long tradition of having weekly contests
on specific areas. These could be anything like adding sources, clean up
syntax or edit on a particular subject. Next week there is going to be a
contest for Wiki loves
monuments<http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Veckans_t%C3%A4vling/Artiklar_%C3%A5…>,
where you get points for creating or improving articles relating to
monuments and extra points for adding images. The best thing: it is totally
initiated and driven by the community.

Dear fellows,
I really would like to know which countries are using Flickr after all,
and if you have an estimate of how many images are being tranferred from
there?
Could you please reply?

Hi everyone,
I just realized we now have all countries participating in Wiki Loves
Monuments in the big monument database[1]! In total we now have just
over 400.000 items in there.
This took a lot of effort, but I'm happy we reached this milestone. This
doesn't mean we're done. We still have a lot of things to fix and maybe
more sources to add (other languages or parts of countries).

Yesterday I guided a beginner through the upload process, starting
from the Swedish competition website wikilovesmonuments.se.
There seems to be no connection between the two paths 1) participate
in the competition ("delta i tävlingen"), which leads to the
upload form on Commons, and 2) find monuments on the Google map.
I had expected that the Google Map would have an "upload" link
for each monument, but I couldn't find this.
In the upload wizard, there was suddenly a field for the monument ID,
but no indication of where to find this ID. Luckily I knew where the
lists are on Wikipedia, but the upload form had no link to these
lists.
Are these two problems unique to the Swedish competition, or
are they the same for all languages?
Minor issues: Why is Google Maps used, and not OpenStreetMap?
In the upload wizard, the choice of license has a terrible
wording in Swedish. Where can this be corrected? Is it part of
the WLM competition, or the generic Commons upload wizard?

Hi guys,
We just reached 50.000 (and Commons reached 10M). If we can keep this
up, we can reach the 100.000 files in one month. That would be so awesome!
Keep up the good work,
Maarten
