Dear organizers of the Wiki Loves Monuments Contest.
In past days we've been surprised by the number of paticipants in Wiki Loves Monuments Czech Republic. We participate for the first time; about 200 contestants uploaded cca 5200 pictures up to date (we expect total sum of 11400 in October). However, we are looking for a way how to find out which pictures will be in the final category - without any over/underexposed ones, those without ecyclopedic value or those who are blurred or simply somehow bad.
We've been thinking about a page that will display a limited number of pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments, randomized of course. There will be a voting element similar to "Like button" linked to each picture. First several hundred or a thousand of pictures chosen (with most "likes") will be then presented to the official committe.
I would like to know what is your idea of chosing "good" or "valuable" pictures out of several thousand, especailly in a situation when there are only 3 people in the organizing team of WLM (CZ). After a long discussion we've come to this one. However, it requires a tool (the page with the voting element) and some time (to wait some time when the results will have some reasonable value, i.e. there wouldn't be 1 or 2 votes for a picture, but let's say 10, 15 or 30. I would like to know if is such a tool (or a similar one) available in the Wikimedia universe.
Thank you.

Hello!
We made this page [1] on Wikipedia but all the banners on Wikimedia
projects are redirecting to our commons planning page [2] which doesn't
have concise guidelines on how-to participate.
I have tried moving the Wikipedia page to the commons page but with
little success since there is a template {{start tab}} (which is not
available on commons) we used when creating the Wikipedia page.I know
there is a way of importing the template but I do not have the rights to
do that. I hope someone on this list can advise on how best to move the
content.
regards,
Stephen.

Dear colleagues,
The Slovak Wikimedia would like to start the Slovak version of WLM. We
don't have sponsors, but we thought that we should start somehow.
We know that it is a bit late in the game, but we thought: better late
than never.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Dear WLM Members,
We just updated the Android app with a change to the "Upload more photos of
this monument" link - it is now a template on Commons that can be localized.
Thanks, Jean-Frederic, for this suggestion, and for creating the template:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload-more-photos-of-this-monu…
Once users have this version of the app, v1.2.3-1, the localized versions
of the link will appear as the language versions are added to the template.
So please open the template and add your language!
You can see the uploads that use this new feature by searching for the
category, "Mobile to desktop upload." Here is a link:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mobile_to_desktop_upload
We have 89 uploads from several countries in this category at the time of
this writing. Please spread the word!
Here are the app download links:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlmhttp://dumps.wikimedia.org/android/WLM-v1.2.3-1.apk
One final note: we are noticing some mobile uploads were actually camera
photos. Here is what one user told us:
Basically most of my raw
photos goes thru raw editing and then converted to JPG either using my
desktop or laptop. Once everything are converted to JPG I put this
thru my mobile phone(Galaxy S3).
Uploading photos via WLM android app is convenient and easy.

Hi,
Correct me if I missed something, but I didn't really saw yet a tool which
the chapters can use for the jury process. I saw a link to WMPT tool on the
last thread that I found, but didn't understand at the end of him, if
he available to uses by others, how hard is to install him and etc...
Is there any new ideas or tools that we may use (the chapters who don't
have technical guys to handle things :))
