Wik Loves Earth Brasil - Data/statistics tool
by Rodrigo Padula 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hello guys, Since that is our first participation in an international photo contest, we discussed locally about ways to have more information about what is working well, the results and the real impact on commons of all our efforts around Wiki Loves Earth here in Brasil. So, the Brazilian User Group studied and specified a tool, developed by Danilo (Danilo.mac on pt.wiki and member of the user group as well) to read database information and generate a complete report about the Wiki Loves Earth, including all participating countries listed on commons. The tool is hosted on the server wmflabs.org under the URL http://tools.wmflabs.org/ptwikis/WLE Through this tool you can have a general idea of what is going on: number of photos uploaded, photos used on wikis, number of uploaders(with complete list and registration date by country) and the percentage of many information, including uploaders registered in May 2014 during the contest. I guess that tool can help each country to define metrics to evaluate your local efforts/results and can be useful for other local contests as well. That's our first time organizing this kind of project and we are learning a lot, until now we received 1.040 photos with 94% of uploaders registered in May 2014(167 new users for the Wikimedia Commons in 12 days). Now we are planning a bot to provide guidance and keep in touch with that new users after the contest ends. Best regards!

Exhibition and magazine publication
by Rodrigo Padula 30 May '14

30 May '14

Hello guys!! We are very excited with the contest results!! I finally confirmed that all photos elected on the Brazilian contest will be printed on the most important photo magazine in Latin America, Revista Fotografe Melhor (http://www.fotografemelhor.com.br/) The elected photos will be printed on the August edition ;-) Regarding the exhibition, I'm in the final negotiation process. So, probably we will have a dedicated room during the Paraty em Foco( http://paratyemfoco.com/) an international photo festival organized in Paraty - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraty) in September. That will be a good opportunity to talk about the contest, invite new people to join us on Wikimedia Commons and to spread Wiki Loves Monuments. Thanks all by the support and congratulations everyone by all the hard word! Best regards Rodrigo Padula Education Program Coordinator Brazilian Catalyst Program / Ação Educativa Wikimedia User Group Brasil

WLE in Serbia
by Sanja Pavlović 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi, guys! Wikimedia Serbia is organizing a local WLE competition and we were wondering what should we "officially" do, do we have to register somewhere, how to get the necessary templates etc. Sorry for the late questions, we had a lot of thinking whether to start the project. We are now ready for it :) Hope to hear from you soon, Sanja

Re: [Wikilovesearth] WLM Participants' Survey: What can we learn from it?
by Estermann Beat 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi Platonides, Yes, it should work by doing a replacement on a few string variables. There are two questions that are a bit tricky: - The one listing all the previous contests (this one would need to be updated after each contest that has taken place - not a huge problem) - The one asking when the pictures were mainly taken (here, the items need to be adapted from year to year as well as specifically with regard to the date of the contest) Another issue is that we didn't have full translations available for all needed languages. So we would need to run another translation sprint for the missing languages. If you are taking care of the technical stuff, I can review the questionnaire once you have set it up with the changing variables, and I can try to establish a list of the languages that still would need translation.

This would basically simply need the variables {{contest}}, {{year}}, {{previous year}}, {{previous month}}, {{coordinating team}} and {{team signature}}, plus the country list and run the same survey on any contest. The cool thing is that we could perform a blind replacement on the translations we currently have and it _should_ work. This kind of usage assumes that on all languages the contest name will appear on the same part of the phrase (which is probably the case) and won't be differences like WLM and WLE having different genders. Regards PS: For the countries you added, we would need the languages: Portuguese, Khmer, Kurdish?, Greek, Latvian, Macedonian, Malagasy?

Twitter account
by Lodewijk 12 May '14

I noticed for some weeks now that there was no Twitter presence of Wiki Loves Earth. I consider that a missed opportunity and because there's always a risk of someone else impersonating, I registered @WikiLovesEarth myself but wouldn't like to commit spending a lot of time managing it. So I could really use the help of three or so people from different countries with this. Ivan from Mexico already offered his - who else? Best, Lodewijk

How to participate
by Lodewijk 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hi, I just got a question on twitter about how to participate in Wiki Loves Earth. And indeed, both www.wikilovesearth.org and the page on commons don't mention this. Could someone add a bit more information for participants? Currently both are focused very much on the organizers. Best, Lodewijk
