Hello;
The tool for statistics is ready http://tools.wmflabs.org/wlm-stats/
I see some files from Ireland and Mexico. Do these countries start before
September 1st? By the way, check that your country appear in the tables,
when the first files are uploaded.
CSV and JSON files with metadata are generated (links at the bottom), for
those who want to play with data and make their own statistics.
Anyway if you find any graph of interest to be added to the page, you can
do a pull request in GitHub https://github.com/emijrp/wlm-stats or comment
in this thread. I have little time, mostly to make stable what worked in
previous editions.
Regards
A comment to one of the blog posts - maybe it is of use to people.
I added Poppei in bcc - Poppei, if you want you can join the list and
follow-up.
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi!
I am an OpenStreetMap contributor and I blogged about using an
OpenStreetMap-based Android App with which you can directly navigate to the
cultural heritage monuments. Also I described how these can be mapped so
that they appear on special Historical Maps.

Dear all,
A couple of weeks ago I updated the questionnaire for the participants' survey to fit both WLM and WLE and adapted the timeline for 2014:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Partic…<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Partic…>
Now I'm looking for someone to help me with the technical issues:
- Setting up the survey tool (the last two years a script was used that was programmed by Platonides who also provided the technical support)
- Preparing the questionnaire for translation
- Exporting/importing the questionnaire for translation (last year we used Translatewiki for this)
- Sending out the invitation messages
- Exporting the data from the tool
Who would be able and willing to give a hand with this?
Cheers,
Beat

Hello all!
For all organizers: we will have an international competition this year!
There will be a deadline in November in what each country should have send
in (private or public) which ten winners tour country has.
In 5 days, we already have 37.000+ new images of cultural heritage from
across the world. I am very happy with all these new images which gives the
world a better access to its heritage.
Did you notice? We are on the blog page: http://blog.wikimedia.org/
The article itself:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/05/wiki-loves-monuments-2014-has-begun/
Also, our Wiki Loves Monuments help desk needs attention. Who is willing to
answer the questions?
See:

Thanks!

I wonder if we could change the upload so it added a random suffix to non-unique file names? That way the uploads would still work, and we wouldn't lose the meaningful part of file names - sometimes the best bit for search results.

It's clear that obscure names should be discouraged (for Wikimedia Commons standards), but right now we may discourage participation with that limitation. There isn't even an option to pick a new filename when an error occurs in the UploadWizard; you have to start the upload process all over again. Also, there isn't a quick way to check if the filename that is about to be used is already occupied or not; you have to save, get the API error, and start over again.
Also, please note that the problem isn't limited only to obscure names. The "Eiffel TowerX.jpg" (for several values of X, and with no X) name is already occupied. The same may happen to popular monuments on each country.
That said, I insist: we should make participation as easy as possible. In most photo repositories (everyone except Commons?), you don't even need to assign names to uploaded files; they are automatically generated. Yes, they end being obscure, random names such as 12309803.jpg, but nobody cares about that! We can't change Commons naming policies right now, but we can, at least, help participants by reducing name collisions or making the error-fixing process as easy as possible.
For now, I'll try to explain in WLM-CO instructions that an "api-error-unknownerror" means that the photo filename should be changed.

Yes,
I have received some e-mails from various people that they do have this issue in WLM CZ. I do believe however it is a filename issue, as it is highly logical to expect files named IMG_401.JPG to be kinda problem to upload... as pretty much everyone tried to do so in past 10 years.
So they were kindly asked to change the filename...

Hi Rasco,
I confirmed that "<api-error-unknownerror>" is a filename problem.
We should
(1) tell the uploader that it is a filename issue.
(2) allow them to go back to the page where the uploader may give a new name -- rather than give an option to retry.

I had that error when doing a test upload. I retried, changing the filename, and it worked.
That made me wonder: Is there a way for making the UploadWizard to append a random number to the default filename? I'm pretty sure lots of participants will have trouble because of trying to upload images with already occupied filenames, specially if the names come from cameras (e.g. DSC0001). If a random number is appended to the name (e.g. DSC0001 - 28392), we would heavily reduce this problem.

However, it now has another problem at "Describe" stage:
77px-Örebro_slott_resynth.jpg
<api-error-unknownerror>
None of the uploads were successful.
Retry failed uploads
Anyone has done a successful test upload?

Hello All,
This is a message from WMTH. This is about 7:05am Thailand time or
00:05 (UTC). I try to do a test upload and see the following message.
"Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 has not started yet.
Wiki Loves Monuments will start in September. You may still share your
images, but they will not be eligible for the competition."
The URL is
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campai…
Anyone got the same problem? Any solutions?
Many thanks,
Taweetham
why it does not happen like last year, the template automatically replaces
the file name ave the reference monument
it's easier and more attractive
the license must be as Creative Commons 4

Just an advice to some of the newer teams.
You cannot upload images from the mobile interface using the uploadWizard
due to a bug[1]. Switching to desktop view should however make it work.
Cheers,
André
