Hi All,
We have used monument codes provided by the Thai Department of Fine Arts
for the competition. It was later discovered by our volunteers that the
codes are not unique and it was estimated that a few hundred codes are
shared by two monuments.
Initial contact with the Department resulted in some codes being revised to
avoid collision. However, when we reported more issues the department just
said that they no longer use the 10-digit coding. They have 7-digit coding
in place in their website and it is in our wiki table. I have revised our
table on th.wikipedia to reflect this. However, I need help on commons and
somewhere else:
1. Monument IDs on uploaded photos must be changed
- most of them can be done by bot - in case of id collision, we will do it
manually.
2. Monument ID is now designated by "FADlink" rather than "ทะเบียน" -
UpLoadWizard and related categorization bots must be revised.
If you can help, please reply privately to me.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
With most of the usability issues ironed out the last two weeks with
the countries that were testing the tool, I have been preparing for
deployment for the rest of the countries. Unfortunately, due to
persona issues I won't have much time to take care of each
installation and configuration as I planned (at least for a couple of
weeks), so what I did is roll out all of the installations at
http://wlm.wmflabs.org/<country code>
At the moment no tool (except for those that were testing it these
weeks) have users, so the first thing I'll ask every coordinator in
every country listed at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/JuryTo…
ist to register in your own tool using the following URL
http://wlm.wmflabs.org/<country code>/register
I'll take care of promoting the first user registered in every tool as
admin of the tool in around 24 hours, which will let that user
configure the tool. For countries that are going to test this only,
and expect to use the tool on October, feel free to configure it for
testing purposes since the tool can be reset.
One unimplemented feature that came as a suggestion from Michael Maggs
(and was something Lodewijk suggested on our original conversation
too) is not to decide the number of rounds upfront, but rather have a
way to start a round when needed. I didn't find the time to implement
this feature, yet the tool is able to feedback from its own output so
if your country does not know exactly how many rounds you will need,
just configure the tool for one round, and you'll be able to export
all images that meet some criteria, I'll reset the tool, and you can
use that output for another round.
All questions to my e-mail to keep the mailing list clear, please.

Summary: please note the *final deadline* of 31 October. This is a hard
deadline. If you have problems with your jury, please ask the international
team for help as soon as possible.
Dear all,
let me give a quick recap of what the international process looks like:
* National juries (of at least 3 jurors) start now to work, and use October
to come to a decision on the national winners. (countries might use popular
vote)
* The national juries/popular vote must select maximum 10 pictures for the
international finale. This is usually the top-10 of the national
competition, but there can be exceptions (for example, if there are special
categories). This is up to the national jury to decide.
* If the national jury wants to submit less than 10 pictures, that is
possible. They could theoretically also decide that no picture is good
enough for an international finale - in such a case, please submit that
decision explicitely.
* Please try to submit your 10 nominees as soon as possible, ideally before
25 October. Definitely submit them *BEFORE 31 OCTOBER*, this is a hard,
final deadline.
* You can submit the 10 nominees by letting one of the jury members or the
main organizer send an email with the 10 URL's to lodewijk [at]
wikimedia.nland monica.joana11 [at]
gmail.com - please make sure the main contact person in your team is always
in cc, so that we know the email is genuine.
* It is possible to submit your nominees confidentially. We will not
publicly announce the nominees (except for the international jury report of
course - expected begin of December), we expect the national team to do
that. Please link your official announcement on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Winners .
On this page we will also create a gallery page with the winning pictures.
* If you already know when you will send the nominees, please add the date
on the overview too. Please also add that on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Winners
.
If you have any problems with setting up a jury process, please contact the
international team (me for example) as soon as possible! We have a few
people in backup that have offered their help to assist as jury member in
another country. There is no shame in asking for this kind of help - it
would be a shame though if something goes wrong! Please note that to avoid
conflicts of interest etc. we ask all countries to make sure that the jury
consists of /at least/ three members.
Looking forward to lots of amazing pictures,
Lodewijk Gelauff
member of the international team

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Notification about Wikimedia user account security issue
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
See also:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/October_2013_private_data_security_issue
On October 1, 2013, we learned about an implementation error that made
private user information (specifically, user email addresses, password
hashes, session tokens, and last login timestamp) for approximately
37,000 Wikimedia project users accessible to volunteers with access to
the Wikimedia "LabsDB" infrastructure.
LabsDB, launched in May 2013, is designed to give volunteers the
ability to write tools and generate reports that make use of data from
our databases in real-time. This supports bottom-up innovation by the
Wikimedia community. As part of this process, private data is
automatically redacted before volunteers are given access to the data.
Unfortunately, for some of Wikimedia’s wikis[1], the database triggers
used to redact private data failed to take effect due to a schema
incompatibility, and LabsDB users had access to private user data for
some user accounts in these specific wiki databases. As of October 1,
228 users have access to LabsDB, and the window of availability of
this data was May 29, 2013 to October 1, 2013.
This issue was discovered and reported by a trusted volunteer, and
access to the data in question was revoked within 15 minutes of the
report. We have no evidence to suggest that the private data in
question was exported in bulk or used for malicious purposes, but we
cannot definitively exclude the possibility. As a precautionary
measure, we have invalidated all affected user sessions, and are
requiring affected users to change their password on their next login.
We have also sent an email notification to affected users with a
confirmed email address.
We regret this mistake. LabsDB is still a new part of our
infrastructure, and we will fully audit the redaction process, so as
to minimize any risk of a future mistake of this nature.
Sincerely,
Erik Moeller
Vice President of Engineering & Product Development

Hello all,
Every month a newsletter is published about working together with other organisations and institutions (generally called GLAMs). The information used for the lists of monuments on Wikipedia are in most countries original from a cultural institution. It would be great to describe the co-operation with those organisations so that other people can learn about it and we get a view on how things are going. Please also write about the local activities organized around Wiki Loves Monuments in the past month(s).
You can start writing here:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom
If your country/area isn't mentioned on the page, you can start writing via the section below the table of countries and add your country/area to: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/September_2013/Contents
If there are any activities planned, please add them to the calendar on: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Events/October_2013
If anyone needs help/explanation about the newsletter, please ask!
Thanks & greetings!
Romaine
... seems very close to the one of 2012:
https://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php
~6k picture less on the last day but ~6k pictures more in the next-to-last-day.
But there are also ~7k pictures more on the first day and ~4k less on
Sept, 23rd.

Dear members of the international Wiki Loves Monumens team,
The uploading part of our contest (as well as in other countries) ended and we are looking forward for sorting out the pictures. I'd like to gain access for the Jury tool (that I used the last year as well) for evaluation of the pictures we received in the contest.
Thank you.
