Wiki Loves Earth international results delayed
by Mykola Kozlenko 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Dear organisers, participants and supporters, We are very sorry to inform you that the announcement of Wiki Loves Earth international results is delayed. All jurors have successfully completed their work and the results are ready, however, we have an issue with one of the top photos that is currently being discussed within the international team. Thus the results will not be announced today as initially planned, and unfortunately we have to delay this until further notice. We are sorry for this delay and we hope to be able to announce the results shortly. Best regards, Mykola Kozlenko WLE international team

Files uploaded elsewhere, and then on WLM?
by Yongmin Hong 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hello, While checking WLM submissions from KR, EA Gu (CC'ed) has found some submissions were first uploaded to external sites (ie. Flickr) and then submitted to WLM. Since this is the first WLM in KR, we don't have a case to use as a precedent, so any advice or opinion is welcome here. Thanks, Yongmin.

My tool went down after 3 days on Labs https://www.statuscake.com/App/AllStatus.php?tid=1334098 I think it will require https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142164 Build replacement for the webservice toolschecker test On WMUA's server I think I solved this with the monit service, the was no downtime in 5 days according to statuscake checks (each 5 minutes) On Sun, Aug 7, 2016 at 8:11 AM, Yuvi Panda <yuvipanda(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 9:12 PM, Lily <lilyofthewest.wikimedia(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > + Yuvi > > > > On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 3:31 AM, Alexander Tsirlin <altsirlin(a)gmail.com> > > wrote: > >> > >> Dear Ilya, Leila, and others, > >> > >> Thank you for your response.

Wiki Loves the Olympics - Photo contest
by Rodrigo Padula 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hello guys, The Wikimedia Community Brazilian Group of Education and Research launched today the Wiki Loves the Olympics, a pilot project of an international photo contest about the Olympics and Paralympic games. Important links: WLO official site: http://www.wikimedia.org.br/wlo WLO on commons:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics WLO contest page on pt.wiki: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:WLO/Rio_2016 Social networks: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wikilovestheolympics Twitter: https://twitter.com/wltheolympics Our focus is Brazil, but the contest is open for all the world. We are fixing some issues during this week but the contest is already open for submissions! In parallel to that initiative, we are running an editing contest in cooperation with many countries members of the Iberocoop https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics We need some help to translate our templates and banners on commons and spread that project around our international community. Templates on commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics_templat… Central Notice: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics/Central_… Comments and help are welcome!

I'll add on * Creating next round - sorry for latency. This is already implemented. On July 16 as Alexander mentioned himself * Tool unavailability ** I installed monit service to reload jury tool and mysql when it goes down. Will have to wait and see if this helps. Before this I tried upstart and systemd configurations that also have respawn option. Unfortunately they worked on Ubuntu/Debian/Centos 7, but not on Centos 6 that is on WMUA's server, so I have to look for other tool and used monit for this. ** Tool is already deployed on Tool Labs - https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlxjury/auth * [T141908 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141908>] Restriction that users have contest assigned to them and cannot be added to another - will be fixed by end of the week. * [T141909 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141909>] Complete export from the jury tool. It is actually available in the form of exporting each juror rating or selection separately and overall rating for rating rounds. What is suggested is to have overall number of jurors that selected an image in the selection round and (Leila's suggestion) one cross table with images as rows, jurors as columns and rating/selections as cell. This is a trivial change as everything is already loaded in statistics module, I'll just to have to output these specific fields. Also will be done by end of the week. Regarding alternate tool. Overall I think it's always good to have alternative and understand what we have. I know at least two tools which can to be good - - Israel jury tool by User:Ynhockey <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ynhockey> (his own claim) - Germany jury tool - http://tools.wmflabs.org/jury/ (Germany has lots of images and usually select winners fast, so I hope their tool is good) Unfortunately I have not seen them, and their sources are not published. Regarding developing of some completely new tool. I don't think it is a serious option. It will be very effort consuming and most certainly will not provide a better tool than already existing ones. At least for this years WLM.
