Hi Rod,
Unfortunately, we couldn't find a volunteer to lead the UK involvement in the project.
I'd love to see us participating in this in future years - but I think it is
definitely too late now to organise something properly this year...
Thanks,
Mike

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?
Rod
