We did a monument walk in Bhubaneswar, Odisha in Oct, more than 5 professional photographers joined and clicked, finally it was me who uploaded my own photos in Flikr and Commons. So such events need more Wikipedian-Photographers with some newbies.<br>

hi,<br><br>If the cities interested and languages interested express their interest, we could go ahead at a national level through the chapter or as a community. The choice is with the community. Hence the question.<br><br>

Date: 2011/12/18<br>Subject: [Foundation-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 -- global?<br>To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <<a href="mailto:foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>><br>
<br>
<br>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
As you may have heard, a little while ago some organizers of Wiki Loves<br>
Monuments 2011 came together in a rainy and cold Amsterdam to evaluate<br>
the 2011 edition, and kick off documentation for 2012. We would like to<br>
share some of the results of our meeting with you.<br>
<br>
The first and most important information is:<br>
* There is going to be a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 -- and if there is<br>
interest, we are going global!<br>
<br>
We would like to get a feeling of in how many countries there would be<br>
people potentially interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments<br>
nationally; but firstly, let us start with the basics.<br>
<br>
Wiki Loves Monuments is a photo contest organized in 2010 and 2011 in,<br>
respectively, the Netherlands and in Europe. The contest asks the<br>
general audience to upload pictures of monumental/historical sites and<br>
buildings during September. It has a federal structure and is organised<br>
separately in every participating country by the local people who know<br>
how things work in their area; best photos from all countries are<br>
nominated for an international contest.<br>
<br>
In 2011 this contest was very successful, with more than 165.000 photos<br>
of monuments in 18 participating countries submitted in total. This was<br>
possible thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers in those<br>
countries who helped organise Wiki Loves Monuments in one way or<br>
another. The winning pictures have been published on<br>
<<a href="http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu" target="_blank">http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu</a>> and on Wikimedia Commons:<br>
<<a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners</a>>.<br>
<br>
Besides the wonderful direct impact on the overall quality and coverage<br>
of heritage and culture topics, Wiki Loves Monuments is a fantastic<br>
opportunity to reach some of our important goals: we had a participation<br>
of over 4.000 new users who created the first ever community-driven<br>
contribution peak on Wikimedia Commons<br>
(<<a href="http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month" target="_blank">http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month</a>>); we<br>
have also helped in establishing cooperation between Wikimedia groups &<br>
chapters and some of their local cultural institutions and organisations<br>
in several countries.<br>
<br>
Would you be interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 in<br>
your country? Would you like to know more? Find all the details at<br>
<<a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012</a>>.<br>
We have put together some information there for you -- and much more<br>
will follow soon.<br>
<br>
We would also like you to join our public mailing list where everyone is<br>
welcome to ask any questions about the details on how to organise a Wiki<br>
Loves Monuments in your country. This is a place where many organizers<br>
of 2011 are already on and we will use that as our main channel for<br>
communications and information dispersion in 2012. Be bold and sign up<br>
for the list at<br>
<<a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments" target="_blank">https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments</a>>.<br>
<br>
So, please speak up if you're interested!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Lodewijk, Maarten & Tomasz (on behalf of so many others)<br>
