We had very bad experience with using the WLX jury tool this year. I
described it at length here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:WLX_Jury_Tool
Several possible solutions are also mentioned on that page. I would like
to hear your opinion about this situation. Could anyone help Ilya with
developing and maintaining the jury tool, and make sure that it works at
it should work?
If we are planning to meet a very sharp deadline of October 25 for WLM
photos, the jury tool should work absolutely smoothly, and user support
has to be very prompt. Or it would be good to know already now that we
can't rely on the jury tool, and alternative solutions should be
searched for.
Sincerely,
Alexander
Dear all,
please find here the selection of 10 photos of the Swiss contest:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016_in_Switzer…
The international selection may be different from the national winners because we have the rule that a participant can only be ranked once and can win only a single prize.
Kind regards
Ilario Valdelli
Hi,
I think we can extend the deadline, but you still have only 20 days to rate
10 thousand images and you might need several rounds more.
You may need to change the instructions to reviewers. Please ask to select
no more than say 50 images in the current round.
Because in round 1 you have already reviewed about 30 thousand images, but
each of the nine reviewers selected from 299 to 1225 images totaling 10416
images to review again in round 2. And the reviewer that started the
selection already selected 114 images and rejected 221 out if his portion
of 1157 images. This gives you too many images after each round.
In Ukraine on the zero round each reviewer selected about 400 images.
In the first round each juror was given instruction to select up to 50
images from about 700 in their portion which totaled to about 400 images
for the second round.
In second round every juror was selecting top10 from the common pool so
total number of images selected for 3rd round is 70, which is easy to rate.
Please set deadlines for you rounds. We used one week, so you can set
August 2 as the deadline of the current round, so you can have two more
rounds in next two weeks (or you can finish faster as the number of images
will be much less).
Maybe you also need help with volunteers to review the images? I see in the
last two days only 1 of 9 reviewers was reviewing. So if someone is tired
or demotivated you may need to ask to replace him/her
Regards,
Ilya

Hi all,
considering the short time, is it possible to know if the jury tool will be provided also this year?
Is it possible to have an access to become familiar with it?
