(This is a follow-up to some questions that were asked during hte Wiki
Loves meetup at Wikimania)
== Mass contacting participants (or a subset of participants) ==
There are two methods I know for contacting the contributors to a
competition:
* MassMessage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MassMessage> allows messages
to be sent out to the talk pages of a list of users.
* Massenmail
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technik/Skin/Benutzerskripte/massen…>
a short javascript by DerHexer to send mass messages using the "email this
user" function. It adds a button to the sidebar Tools section which
triggers an interface where you enter the list of users, a topic, content
and if you want a copy.
== Wikidata Migration ==
For teams interesting in mapping their data to Wikidata the starting point
is Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status>. Click on
the link for your country in the "maping tables" column (@Deror that is
il_(he)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/il_(h…>
for you) to start mapping. See e.g. the mapping for Iran
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ir_(f…>
as an example or give me a shout if you have any questions.
If your data is already on Wikidata then please also take a look in the
table to make sure we are aware of it.

Hi all!
I was talking to Lodewijk just now and there's still a lot to do for us for
the competition in September can start. We want to sit together next
wednesday somewhere in the Sheraton.
If there are people willing to join us, please let us know! We'll find a
working space and post it on this list wednesday morning, so you can join
us, help us, work with us, ask questions or just to collect some beautifull
WLM postcards to send home!
Cheers,
Ciell
Hi all,
For any of you who are attending Wikimania this year please consider
joining us for our mini cultural heritage edit-a-thon and Wikidata matching
workshop!
With your help we aim to do two things: (1) improve the amount of cultural
heritage sites we can add to Wikidata by mapping existing Wiki Loves
Monuments data and (2) enrich articles with images that have been uploaded
as part of the Connected Open Heritage project.
When: Aug 10 from 12:00-16:00
Where: Level 7, Room 720
If you have any questions or already now know that you'll want to attend
then please give me a shout.
Cheers,
André

Hi all,
Wiki Loves Monuments international team is excited to share the
following news with you:
Flickr [1] and Wiki Loves Monuments will work together to encourage
and facilitate the contributions by Flickr photographers to Wiki Loves
Monuments 2017. Here is the rough sketch of how this collaboration
will work (more details will be provided on this list as we learn more
but also as we run into questions that we'd like to answer with you):
* Flickr is going to use their Worldwide Photowalk Group [2] to host
images and invite photographers to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments
2017.
* This week they will publish a blog post on the Flickr Blog/social
and update the group with a call to action for photographers to begin
organizing independent meetup events/walks in their location in
September. They will be closely following the sign-ups for countries
participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 [3]. Please help us by
keeping that page updated.
* Organizers will create Facebook events with specific details and
monuments the attendees will photograph. Flickr will host a master
list broken down by continent/country in a Group Discussion.
* They will open the Group for photo submissions in September to
officially launch the month and in sync with each country's opening
and closing time and date of campaigns.
* Flickr will post each week with their favorite images in the group
(blog + social + galleries) to continue encouraging
participation/submissions.
* When we say "organizer" in above points, we are referring to group
organizers on Flickr end. If country organizers on our end would like
to get more involved with Flickr photographers, we'd support and
encourage that but local organizers on either side shouldn't feel
pressured to do so. :)
For a list of things we should do, please read [4].
In the past, the photowalks have been pretty popular [5] and both
sides are looking forward to welcoming new cities as part of this Wiki
Loves Monuments season.
We are very happy that Flickr is working with us and our communities
through Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 and we hope that the experience of
this year provides more opportunities for the two communities to
collaborate more in the future.
Questions and comments are welcome.
Best,
Lily

On our end, we will need to do the following:
* Workout how to keep the local organizers updated about the
submissions on Flickr end as the contest is moving forward.
* Create a bot that will call a Flickr API at the end (or at specific
intervals) of the contest to import photos from Flickr to Commons. We
should communicate with Flickr what exact information they should make
sure gets collected and served via the API. (country code, monuments
ID, name/id of the photographers, license, photo, ...)
* Licenses accepted.
* [optional] A mapping tool such as Monumental is something
photographers will appreciate a lot. :)
* and more
[5] Continents/cities that have had participated more than a couple of
times in the past photowalks by Flickr:
Europe: London, Berlin, Munich, Paris, León or Valladolid (and other
cities) in Spain, Moscow, Rome and other Italian cities...
Americas: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Las Vegas,
Vancouver, Toronto, Sao Paolo, Guadalajara (Mexico)
Asia: Bangalore and other cities in India, Taipei, Karachi,
Oceania: Sydney, Melbourne and other smaller cities in Australia,
occasionally some city in New Zealand (Christchurch) or Japan (Nigata,
Tokyo)
