Hi Lodewijk -
Thank you very much for getting back to me. We are indeed in agreement about including
some visibility for 16-25 to broaden the set of countries that get a share of the joy
around the WLM international contest. With approximately 50 countries taking part,
celebrating a top 25 ensures a wider reach in terms of recognizing quality beyond the top
15 winners.
For the benefit of clarity, my point is that rather than transient exposure through social
media or arguably limited exposure through the jury report, I'd recommend including
16-25 as honorable mentions on the Commons winners page too as this ensures a longer-term
record of the accolade. It also ensure that we are more inclusive and operate within the
open structures afforded by our movement's wikis rather than 3rd party platforms, as
popular as they may be in the present time.
Kind regards,
Toni

Hi Toni,
We have long been debating internally how much visibility to give to runners-up. The
official prizes are for place 1-15. In the past, we have decided to include 16-25 as well
for the social media and sometimes jury report, because it broadens the set of countries
that get a share of the joy. We typically reserved the 'official' places for the
official winners (1-15). But, this is arguably just a judgement call, and I could totally
imagine this falling in another direction in the future.

Hi Ciell + Mohammad -
Thank you for sharing these links.
I'm wondering why the honorable mentions were only announced on social media (Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram) and not also announced on the WLM blog and/or Commons. It's
really great to get the word out to a wider audience but, in my opinion, we should also
make sure that we keep fuller records of WM activities within the wikiverse itself.
As social media platforms are arguably transient (and certainly not as open as Commons) it
would be good to have the honorable mentions captured as part of the international contest
results in a way that's easy to access in WLM natural environment, so to speak.
I'd gladly contribute to this (on Commons) if others agree or the WLM international
team don't have the capacity to handle this without input from the community.
For the record: I've also posted this message on the WLM 2020 winners talk page on
Commons.
Thanks again and best wishes,
Toni

Hi all,
We are about to announce the top 15 winners of the 2020 WLM
International Edition. We will first announce the honorable mentions (ranks
16-25) starting at 4pm PST 3/17 in reverse order, i.e., we will start with
the 25th place and announce one photo every 30 minutes. Once honorable
mentions are done we will take a break and resume the final top 15
announcement at midnight starting with rank 15 and working our way
backwards to the top winner of the 2020 competition, which will be
announced at 7am PST 3/18.
You can follow the results on any of our social media channels:
