HI, everybody
Do anybody know is it possible to count how many monuments do we have in
each municipality? For example we are interested to compare which region of
Ukraine is the most successful with monument lists. But it is so dull to
count it by hands...

I'm trying to get a rough estimate of the number of uploads to expect
for WLM-US.
One way would be to look at last year's first day total uploads and
compare it to last years total uploads for the month (~169,000
overall). So if the ratio was 1:50, I'd just multiply the 1st day
uploads in the US by 50.
Yesterday (1st 24 hours) we had 615 uploads so if 50 is the right
multiplier, we'd estimate about 31,000. Some might say 30 is the
right multiplier (30 days in a month), but 37 would estimate that the
last week gets twice as many uploads. Does anybody have a real number
from last year?
It's fairly important to estimate the total uploads so that we can
mobilize the right number of people for tasks such as reviewing the
pix, placing them in the lists, and pre-jury screening. So far I've
been using the standard scientific method of pulling a number out of
my wazoo ("US is almost as big as Europe ==> 100,000")
Any help appreciated.

Ciao Oscar,
the point is the following:
* Last year Italy didn't participate for legal difficulties related to
the fact that Italian law requires an authorisation for taking photos
of anything considered "Cultural Heritage" (in Italy, we don't have
Panorama freedom). We contacted the Ministry of Arts and Cultural
Heritage and tried to find a solution but with little luck. You may
ask if the problem persist and the answer is yes, but we are close to
a partial solution with the Ministry this year, which I hope will come
in the next few days. (I say "partial" because as you can see here[1]
we have a limited list of monuments which can participate in Wiki
Loves Monuments, which are the ones for which we have got an explicit
authorisation. Without dwelling too much into the legal details, the
problem is not about the copyright of the photo, but about the
possible use that Italian law permits of a photo which depicts a
monument, in particular if you want to use a photo in print for
commercial purpose, you have to ask for an additional permission which
is granted individually to a person (the editor), and for a given
publication upon payment of an amount of money).
* Last year, though, South Tyrol participated in Wiki Loves Monuments
with the Austrian Chapter. In fact the Trentino Alto-Adige region in
Italy is a "regione a statuto speciale" and in particular the
"provincia autonoma di Bolzano" is a "provincia autonoma" meaning that
they have more autonomy (Alto Adige is the Italian name of South
Tirol). So a local group of volunteers coordinated to participate in
WLM and they choose Austria since Austria was participating in WLM and
Italy not. Also, in South Tirol German is an official language. I
don't know what was the status of the monuments which participated for
South Tyrol last year with regard of the authorisation problem, but if
I'm correct the volunteers that contacted us this year said they were
in contact with some local institution. So I'm not sure about that.
We have a similar situation with monuments in the city of
Alghero-L'Alguer in Sardinia, with monuments that are participating in
the catalan Wiki Loves Monuments (i.e. WLM Andorra, if I'm correct).
Needless to say, we would like to have this monuments participate in
the Italian contest, but we need the permissions for all the monuments
and then they could not participate in another contest since that
would be unfair.

Hi everybody,
whilst trying to access http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/italy/
I got a 500 error. Is this due to a high number of accesses to that
page or it's just me :) ?

Hi there again,
just like last year, I think it would be great to have a short
information about Wiki Loves Monuments on the various main pages on
Wikimedia Commons. I already went ahead and boldly replaced the
previous information about the Walters Art Museum on the English page,
and it's already also on the Dutch, Polish and Spanish pages.
The English message is available here:
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> -- please place it on
your local main page if you feel like doing it! :-)
Thanks,
Tomasz
Hello, all.
Some days ago, I removed the Wordpress plugin that kept track of the number
of visitors from the colombian website to avoid trouble with the
no-trackers-from-third-parties rule, and put the code you gave us to start
using Piwik for doing the job. Well, I would like to access the data now;
How can I do it?
Thanks!

Gooooooood morning WLManiacs (sorry for being ignorant, yes, I heard
that there are different time zones...)
Two features for your Wordpress sites (working at .org)
1) WLM Image counter: Counts the images of a choosen category - just
drag it from your WIdget zone to your sidebar and configure a category!
2) Twitter search widget: see code in the attachment, you might want to
add a user name or hashtag to the query, but it should get already pull
a lot of WLM tweets. You may put a text widget on your sidebar and just
add the code to it.
Have fun!
Elke
