Hi,
The regional African conference WikiIndaba ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2017 ) is taking place in Accra, Ghana this weekend. Unfortunately, no member of Wiki Loves Earth international team is able to attend this event, but we would be very glad if someone would spread the word about the contest there! I am notably thinking of local organisers in several African countries who already organised Wiki Loves Earth: Ghana, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
Why we want to spread the word about Wiki Loves Earth there? * Africa is very underrepresented at Wiki Loves Earth. Only four African countries to the date participated there, while there are many wonders of African nature that are yet to discover * Last year we had a Biospere Reserves nomination where images from the entire world could be uploaded to Commons ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Earth_Bi… ), and one of the winner was from Africa, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HIPPPOOOSS.jpg * This is a great opportunity for African communities to join a large international project, and organising a local Wiki Loves Earth contest is accessible to communities with any level of experience * We would really like local communities to know about it now (January) so that they have time to apply for a WMF grant if they want and organise everything without being in a hurry. * WikiIndaba is the place where most African communities will meet this year, so we want to reach those people who do not go to Wikimedia Conference in Berlin or to Wikimania as well.
If you want you can use slides I from Berlin ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLE_WMCON_2016.pdf ) or a leaflet we did last year ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLE-Leaflet.pdf )
To sum up: if you are going WikiIndaba, please spread the word about WLE there and help us boost African participation this year!
Best regards and have a nice conference for those going there, Mykola (NickK) for WLE international team

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
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)

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.
Regards,
Ilya

Dear all,
I notice that Thailand and some other countries are still missing from the
WLE statistics tool.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/earth/2016 Any idea?
