OK - I won't (wouldn't upload it myself anyway :) ), I just wanted to
indicate that sharing is very much appreciated and I hope we will do it (in
the end) all.

Please do not redistribute the poster, it's a
draft, and there are logos
still pending approval.

Thank you so much Susana! Looks wonderful. Could
you upload it to
commons (if not done yet)?
Maybe we should collect this kind of material more :)
Best,
lodewijk
ps: I see a lot of partners down there, wonderful work! I would really
appreciate it if someone could (in a seperate thread) give a short
update on where you are :)

Hi all,
We have started a poster for the portuguese competition (sending you
in JPG). Does it help in any way?

Hi Nicole,
The text we have currently is limited to what we
wrote on the etherpad in Berlin, and of course our
ad that Hay made (it is on page 53 of Europa
Nostra's summer edition of the European Cultural
Heritage Review).
The text is here
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/May_Mee…
The printable pdf is here

I don't know if you saw Julia's earlier query on
this. Right now all of our up-to-date info is here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011>I
myself have been thinking
hard about what the text
should be, and last Thursday, Austin Hair and I
stood behind a table at the Europa Nostra fair in
Amsterdam. It was an interesting afternoon, since a
lot of people came to the table with questions that
I would never have dreamed of beforehand, such as
whether I knew about the publicly accessible
databases on threatened 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 the electricity transformer station.
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.
This page has the links to Dutch articles with the
winning photos:

nice teaser for the upcoming
would be to say how
nice it would be to have 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 to upload
the photos (especially the older people seemed very
skeptical about being able to do this, though they
seemed quite interested).
Hope it gets all of you thinking!

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
