Hi all,

Because of my tangential involvement with WikiProject:Historic Sites I spotted a note about a Europe wide contest “Wiki loves Monuments” (see http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/ ).

The UK is included on the map but there is not link to the UK chapter and I wondered if this was a deliberate decision for some reason?

There is a wikiproject page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011 – which seems to have lots of broken links) and more detail on Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011 )

They say “Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 is a public photo contest around monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters.” And aims to improve the quantity and quality of CC licensed images of cultural heritage sites and objects. It may be too late for 2011 (it seems to run in September but unclear) but what about the UK participating in future years?
