> monuments, or on monuments in ultra-hard-to-get-to-places, or similar
> things. I did my best to get people interested in Wiki Loves Monuments and
> the Dutch WP10 birthday celebration this Saturday (though most people coming
> to the booth didn't speak Dutch). I printed out all of the winning photos,
> plus a few Wikipedia logos (the WLM logo, the puzzle one, the Wikmedia one,
> the Commons one, and the WP10 one). I also had printed out a short
> explanation how to uplaod a photo, and the jury report from last year. There
> were several photographers who came to the booth and wanted to know what the
> judging criteria were.

> I was sorry I didn't have any flyers, since people really seemed to
> want this. Fortunately the booth across from us was giving away the Heritage
> magazines, so I told them to bookmark page 53.

> I was very happy that I hadn't yet had a chance to give Tomasz's
> Wikibook on Chopin to Ziko, because I was using it as a paperweight (we were
> outside and it was quite windy). Many people commented on the book and were
> impressed that "we" at Wikipedia knew that Chopin was Polish. Fortunately
> there was a delegation from Poland who were attracted by the book and after
> looking at all the winning pictures got very excited. There was also a
> fairly large group of students from the Reinwardt academy in Amsterdam
> interested in architecture, many of whom have tons of pictures they could
> upload. I realized quite quickly however that it starts sounding very
> complicated when you talk about uploading groups of photos to Wikimedia
> Commons. That is definitely not the right approach for a casual computer
> user, which most of these people were.

> The ten winning pictures did get a lot of attention, and when I
> explained that each of these is linked to an article on the Dutch Wikipedia,
> people seemed eager to learn more. The photo that got the most attention was

> So to summarize, I think the main thing to focus on is the result we
> hope to achieve with the contest, namely to gather lots of freely accessible
> photos of monuments for use in Wikipedia articles. The best way to get
> people to understand what this means is to pick a nice monument photo (or
> choose one of the winning ones from last year) and make sure it is linked to
> an article on the native Wikipedia. Then you can use that link to send to
> people in emails.

> pictures on Commons of nearby monuments that aren't there yet. It would also
> be nice if more people participated who lived in rural areas, since those
> monuments have the least photos on Commons.

> Secondary information that is crucial to have is the criteria for
> judging the photos (everyone seemed interested in that) and the method used

>> Hi all,
>>
>> I am not sure how the status is here, so please excuse if this was
>> already discussed,
>>
>> We are planning to create info flyers for participants, partners, and
>> other target groups of the contest. In my opinion, it would be best to
>> have one international flyer and then adapt it to all other
>> languages/countries.
>>
>> Wikimedia Deutschland could take care of all the design and printing
>> stuff, if some of you can provide texts, images and all necessary
>> information. What do you think?
>>
>> Best,
>> Nicole
