Hi! Are most Irish users using English? This might help for less popular languages: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Treasures_or_landm… Mārtiņš On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 11:45 PM, Rebecca O'Neill <rebeccanineil(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, We've just realised that some of the upload links on our Irish WLM website are broken, and we're not sure how long they have been like that. Is there any way to search Wiki Commons for content uploaded from Ireland over the past 3 weeks, to see if there are any users that we should contact about photographs that should be included in WLM? Thanks!

Would it be possible to take the geocoordinates from the metadata of the non-WLM images, and test them for 'ireland'? But I suspect not many people found their way to Commons, if the link didn't work. -- Lodewijk 2016-09-29 0:03 GMT+02:00 Platonides <platonides(a)gmail.com>om>:

No. You can't search uploaded files by user geolocation. (Technically, it might be possible to cross the info from several logs to get it, but (a) it'd be complex to perform and (b) I'm pretty sure such request would be rejected) Where did your broken links point to? _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

Hi Romaine, So sorry for the delay getting back to you, I'm at the end of writing up my PhD, and finding it hard to keep on top of everything. It was just a bit of a random thought, as we only discovered by accident that the link was broken. I'm sure if people were having difficulty they would have tried to contact us. Unfortunately the turn out this year for WLM in Ireland was lower than previous years, I suspect there is volunteer and user burnout going on there. Talk soon, Rebecca On 30 September 2016 at 17:02, Romaine Wiki <romaine.wiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Rebecca, What was the precise upload url you had on the site? If the url added a category or something else, I perhaps can check on that. Romaine 2016-09-28 22:45 GMT+02:00 Rebecca O'Neill <rebeccanineil(a)gmail.com>om>:
