Romaine, I see your point, but having a page with incomplete/incorrect information is also a problem. The page Lodewijk has linked to is about 2015 (per the right-hand-side column) and the list of countries in it is not complete. It can be confusing for people if they land on that page. I understand that you have a lot on your plate, I'd say if someone has bandwidth to fix that page, they should feel free to.

The "many" are just two pages, and both serve a different function.

Also we have a extensive infrastructure we need to keep in mind and changing just in less than 2 days before the start of the contest is never a good idea.

Hey,

there seem to be many portal pages. What about reducing the number a bit? We could redirect this page for example to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_upload/Participate without too much trouble. (just a different layout)

Hi Lily,

Can you update this page ?

We are using this page in our templates.

Hi all,

If you are an organizer of Wiki Loves Monuments this year, please read on! :)

For the majority of countries participating in this year's WLM, the contest will start in 3 days. :) Here are a few tips the international team would like to share with you:

* Please make sure you register for wlm-announce mailing list. This is the place where we send all the important announcements local organizers should not miss. (The is a low traffic list.)

* Make sure that you go through this todo list, if you already haven't. Assuming that you have your monument table(s) ready, please focus on items 3, 4, and 5.

* Item 3 in the list above needs special attention. Note that the international team recommends that the landing page for each country accessed via the this list be in English (You can link from there to your local language(s) page) or have at least one section in English that can help the international people participate.

* Consider reaching out to your local media and encourage the coverage of the contest's launch. See our earlier post about this here.

* If you have questions, please use this list to contact us. If you need immediate response, please stop by freenode IRC, channel #wikilovesmonuments (If we are there, we'd be happy to resolve your questions immediately.)

And last but not least, don't forget to enjoy the process, especially for those of you helping your country participate for the first time. :)

Best,

Leila, on behalf of the WLM international team
