Hi,
It's nice to know there's still interested countries around!
This was our first year in the Arab world region, so we still has way to go. The
organization of the contest in few middle eastern countries in 2013 helped introduce WLM
for the first time to Arabic Wikipedia community, so now we have a lot more of interested
countries and people; there's at least 4 new countries that have already expressed
interest in joining the 2014 edition. If there's international contest, then we are
definitely in.
For WLE, I find it really interesting, but if there's going to be WLM 2014 then maybe
it will be hard to run both at the same time, as we barely have enough resources and
energies to run one contest effectively.
Abbad.

Hi All
It’s sad to know that. Lodewijk and the international team did a really great work last
year, and their tiredness and challenges that we possibly can not imagine without join
their work.
For China, we do hope another big event in 2014 with international level competition, it’s
just beginning of us, but we do it even maybe without it.
Wiki Loves Earth is a great project undoubted, but the time for preparation is just too
short for start a new project. And I think, Wiki Loves Monument is kind of formed a own
“brand" for influence and identification, it won’t be a good idea to give up a easy
apple, especially for small community like China.
If we really interested in these photo competitions, whatever the monuments or the earth,
we should do it together, instead of separating out limit force to several different
projects.
I’m not free enough to take over it, but I’ll help if needed.

OK OK. I thought that there was no activity thats why I asked, but there are several
options for this year.
I'm going to see how to help, in lists, tech or whatever.

WMSE, just as WMRO, will have a WLM even if there is no international contest.
By the way, WMSE will also be international coordinators of Wiki Loves Public Art if
anyone wants to join :)

Hi,
From Wikimedia Ukraine I can confirm that we are still interested in organising the
international edition of Wiki Loves Earth, and we already have an international mailing
list for it: wikilovesearth(a)lists.wikimedia.org . This mailing list is, however, currently
lacking activity - thus we invite everyone interested (or potentially interested) to join
it:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesearth !
Discussions on timing are being held at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014 , most options are
around April-May (basically the best period to picture nature, especially in the North
Hemisphere). Please par
ticipate in the discussion if you are interested - the faster we decide on the time, the
better.
We are currently building a team for the international edition, and we are going to
request funding for WLE 2014 international edition in the name of Wikimedia Ukraine. If
anyone is interested to participate in organising WLE, please join the mailing list
wikilovesearth(a)lists.wikimedia.org as well!
Regards,Mykola

Hi,
from discussions it seems there is no clear agreement whether or not there should be an
international WLM in 2014. I can at least say that I will not be involved in Wiki Loves
Monuments any more (lack of time, and also because of the difficulties encountered at the
funding stage and elsewhere which decreased my enthusiasm a lot) - I can't speak for
the other organizers. We're still busy wrapping up the 2013 competition.
Earlier this year there were conversations to organize a Wiki Loves Earth international
edition in 2014 instead of Wiki Loves Monuments, and I know at least WMNL is very
interested in that, and Wikimedia Ukraine used to be.
I think it is time for people who want to join an international team for the coming year
to speak up. Now is the time to get started indeed on that level, and to get as much
knowledge transfer as possible from the old to the new team - be it Wiki Loves Earth or
Wiki Loves Monuments.

I have the same question. I think that are still enough countries interested in a new
edition. Wikimedia Spain will be one of them. Is there anyone interested?

Hi all;
Will we see in 2014 a new edition of WLM? I don't see any coordination messages or
pages in Commons.
