Thanks for all the suggestions. Will work on cutting down the number of images before handing over to a jury. Lots of the images are kinda 'garbage', (i.e images with low resolution, some even mere 50kb etc.) In 2012, there was a tool used to sort and select images out of a category. I hope a tool of that sort still exists. rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford On Jan 8, 2015 5:20 AM, "Karthik Nadar" <karthikndr(a)wikimedia.in> wrote:

Hi Rexford, Please let me know if I can add some value to the jury team. I have always been part of Indian jury having been organised the contest twice. Regards from Mumbai, Karthik Nadar. On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 8:31 PM, Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, I'm rexford, from ghana. Late last year, WLA[1] was organized. ghana uploaded some 800 images[2]. We're looking for a jury to select the best 5 images. Myself can't be a part of jury, same as others on our team, because we took part in the event. We'll really appreciate if we could get volunteers to help in selecting the best images from this community. Thanks.

It was in the toolserver, which disappeared ~6 months ago. I can prepare a small dump for you, though. Which category are you interested in? I guess you want the images in full resolution? Best

Thanks. We'll really love it if you help get it up and running for us. The category is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2… As regards resolution, a 1080x720 will be great. Upon picking the ones interested, we can hunt for their full res later. On Tuesday, January 13, 2015, Platonides <platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote:

It's actually easier to grab the full res one, so unless there are disk space problems I would prefer to grab that. However, the category in full full resolution seems to be 2.89 GB (3104994343 bytes), which you may consider "too much".

Hi, Rexford. Based on this need, I'm building a downloader tool (as a volunteer; this isn't done in my WMF role) to help create such collections of reduced-resolution (any size you want) images for a given Commons category. It's not quite ready for use, but in the meantime I've created the collection you wanted in the size you specified. It is 157 megabytes in size, and you can download it (in a 7-Zip[1] archive) from here[2]. I hope this helps, and let me know if you run into other issues. A. [1] if you don't know/have a decompressor yet, see http://7-zip.org/download.html for binaries for all platforms.

Hello Asaf, Thanks for getting the zip file of all the files for me. It was really smaller than I expected. I have gone through the 800+ images and I have selected just a little over 100 images as candidate images to present to the jury.[1] I wish to hereby add a *disclaimer *(I've cc'ed wikimedia-gh list as well): *The list of selected images I present contains about 10 of images I took and uploaded. I included them, not because I took them, but because I think they are not bad images and as such are worth to be considered candidate images to present. The jury are free to exclude or include them upon reviewing the images.[2]* The compressed folder of images also contain a .txt file with links to the selected images original files on Commons. As it stands now, the selected images are ready. I hope we can get a jury to take it from here? And whats more, the list I present is just something *I* feel are good. The jury are free to also go through the 800+ images in case they wish to widen their taste. :p I think in general, images that came from Ghana aren't that deviating from this year's competition theme.

Rexford: Given the relatively small amount of pictures, I can be part of the jury, if that's OK with you. About the tool: for 100 pictures, I don't think it's worth to adapt or create tools; even by hand, I think 100 pictures can be processed in one or two hours. I think it's more important to start defining a selection process so the jurors can start right away to work with the images. For example, you may ask each juror to pick 10 images, and then do a new selection round with only these. Or you may ask jurors to assign scores (1-10), and then simply sort the images by score and work with the best ones (or even pick winners immediately).
