Translations needed (also your language)!

Hi all, I am preparing a big change in the pre-contest banners above the localised upload wizards for Wiki Loves Earth. In many areas/countries the contest starts on 1 May. But not everywhere! In some areas the contest start on 15 May, 1 June, or another date. To be able to change the right text, translations are needed. Please provide a translation on: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Translation Also in your language! If your language (code) is not listed, you may add it! But please also check if all other translations already have been provided: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Upload_cam… Thank you! Romaine

WLE Facebook page posts
by Anna Khrobolova 09 May '17

Dear all, I believe that pictures sharing on WLE Facebook should be accompanied with interesting information on countries, sites and contests' characteristics. The number of sites on the lists and their types seems very interesting information for sharing and showing participants perspectives. I'd be happy to get this information from local teams, so not to misinterpret information you have on the pages (and it is not always in English). And, of course, Nabin and I are ready to share images that are most worthy in your opinion. Volunteers for managing the international page are also welcome. https://www.facebook.com/interwle/ *Anna Khrobolova* *On behalf of the Wiki Loves Earth international team* * f: anna.khrobolova <https://www.facebook.com/anna.khrobolova> | w: AnnaKhrobolova_(WMUA) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AnnaKhrobolova_(WMUA)>*

page banner competition within WLE
by Alexander Tsirlin 05 May '17

05 May '17

Dear All, As some of you may know, Wikivoyage uses page banners, the 7:1 panoramic images placed at the top of each page. We are always short of such images in general and of good banners with natural objects in particular. This prompted us to organize the competition of page banners as a satellite event during WLE. Last year we were running such a competition for Russian destinations. It was quite successful delivering 88 excellent banners, many of them used nowadays across 17 language editions of Wikivoyage. This year we extend the banner competition worldwide: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/banners The idea is very simple: take your WLE photo, crop it to the 7:1 format, and upload it separately as a page banner specifying the destination where it goes. Our (Wikivoyage-based) jury will grade the uploads and choose the winner who will receive a small prize. We would be grateful if you disseminate information about this competition among the participants. Posting short information with the upload link on the page of your national competition would be great. Having good page banners from your country not only improves its coverage on Wikivoyage, but also draws more readers and editors, who may eventually choose your country for their next trip. We would also be grateful if the international team finds a way to advertise this banner competition on the main WLE page and in the media. Questions and comments are welcome. We look forward to receiving excellent page banners this year! Sincerely, Alexander

Dear international team I am re-sending this email to international team members of WLE for the third time, I guess. So I appreciate a response. 1. I have admin account on WLE site (www.wikilovesearth.org) but I forget my password. I can't able to retrieve new password so Please hep me get new password. my username is registered with email "saqib.qayyum(a)hotmail.com" 2. We used to have email address "pakistan(a)wikilovesearth.org" which was redirected email to my email address. But the email address is no more working at the moment. Perhaps it has been deleted? Please re-create it for us and setup email forwarding to email address of mine. WLE is approaching fast and therefore I appreciate fast response on this. I hope this won't go unnoticed this time. Thank you Saqib

Invitation to participate at Wiki Loves Earth 2017
by Nikola Kalchev 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Dear Wikimedia colleagues, After four wonderful editions of Wiki Loves Earth resulting in over 300,000 new photos on Commons, we are happy to invite you to the 5th edition of Wiki Loves Earth international photo contest – https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017 As a reminder, Wiki Loves Earth is focused on natural heritage (protected natural areas of all possible types) in different countries. Like Wiki Loves Monuments, the contest is organised in a federative way – meaning that it depends only on YOU and your affiliate/group if the contest will take place in your country. Last year we had 26 participating countries organising local contests. In addition, owing to partnership with UNESCO we had a special nomination for photos of biosphere reserves all over the world, getting photos from 27 other countries, such as Argentina, Canada, Indonesia, Italy, South Africa and many others. This shows that photographers around the world have a great enthusiasm about Wiki Loves Earth – so we hope to see many of you organising a local contest in your country this year! In order to join please add your country on the contest page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017 You can learn more on how to organise a contest in your country (it’s not that difficult!) here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Organise If you want to participate or are interested but not sure, we would like to hear your say: - Please tell us what kind of assistance you would like to get from the international team! Just email us at wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua to tell what you need to start in your country - To avoid eternal dissatisfaction with jury tools, we have set up a page with an action plan: https://commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Jury_tools <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Jury_tools>. Please share your thoughts about it on the talk page! - Finally, you can subscribe to our mailing lists at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesearth <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesearth> ( wikilovesearth(a)lists.wikimedia.org <wikilovesearth(a)lists.wikimedia.org>) to get our updates. We hope to see many new participants in Wiki Loves Earth this year and we are happy to help you if you have any questions. Best regards, Nikola / User:Lord Bumbury On behalf of the Wiki Loves Earth international team
