Hi
Parabens Susana :)
I like your poster, is it possible to have the vector version in order
to adapt your work for the Spanish contest? (.SVG would be great)
In Spain, we already have started with the WLM flyer, if someone is
willing to improve it, go on. You can find the SVG versions at commons
(
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
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Wikilovesmonuments-europ…
I don't know if you saw Julia's
earlier query on this. Right now all
of our up-to-date info is here:

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:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010
A 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!
Jane

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
