Hi all,
As on Commons CC-by-sa-4.0 is for some time the default license template
(instead of 3.0), all the UploadWizards of all the areas in Wiki Loves
Earth have now been updated.
If you have mentioned 3.0 in your documentation or website, please change
this now to 4.0. (However, I would not recommend the version at all.)
Greetings,
Romaine
Hi,
coming late, we will be joining WLE 2016.
Marios Magioladitis will be serving as coordinator for the rest of the
project but I am running now to complete some necessary things.
I have completed some things and need some help with others:
* Project page in Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016_in_Greece
* List of areas:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016_in_Greece/…
* I guess I have translated all necessary templates for the Campaign page (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wle-gr) but someone needs to
enable it. (I note that code for Greece is GR, code for greek language is
EL). How do we do that?
* The upload wizard should have a field for the id of the area. We chose
Natura 2000 areas, so the id should populate the template {{natura 2000|*id*
}}
Hi all,
I call upon those countries that have Facebook and Twitter pages for local
contest make them especially active at the contest period.
Among those that are without activity in recent weeks are
https://www.facebook.com/WleAlgeria/https://www.facebook.com/Wiki-Loves-Earth-Austria-692832554101765https://www.facebook.com/WLENepalhttps://www.facebook.com/wle.moldova
You are also welcome to leave posts in English on Intl. contest page [1]
wall or in messages so admins could share them and bring new followers to
your page, if Facebook is not among your instruments for promotion, you
still can mail posts promoting your wikipages or sites to
wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua
For example, we could make tomorrow `numbers parade` on interwle
<https://www.facebook.com/interwle> which would tell about the number of
protected areas (total or just quantity of some kind of sites (parks,
gardens)) included in your lists. Let`s utter the scope of work for
participants :)

Dear all,
I have submitted a grant proposal on ScalaWiki data processing toolbox [1],
and I am expecting feedback from you, as most of my Wikimedia work relates
to supporting WLE/WLM projects, various article contests etc.
I think that we need some kind of a universal toolbox to define and execute
processing of Wikipedia related data, as getting the right data takes a lot
of time and efforts, requires specific skills. The process needs to be more
universal and relatively easier.
In a nutshell: there is a lot of data out there. And I think it needs to be
accessible for everyone,
we do not need to create specific tool every time there is a new question
or data to look for.
Thank you for your support.

Hi all,
Last week we have published the official international rules for Wiki Loves Earth: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016/Rules
We have not changed much since last year, major points: * Photos can represent either landscapes (or wide views) or representative species (animals or plants). Photos of landscapes and species will be treated equally. Photos of representative species are acceptable only if they are appropriately identified. * Photos nominated for the international stage should be at least 2Mpx. You may accept photos of lower resolution for your national part, but please ask authors to upload higher resolution if you want to nominate these photos for international stage (international team will not do it for you).
Please do not hesitate to contact us (international team at wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua ) if you have any questions, be it about rules or about anything else!
Best regards, Mykola Kozlenko (NickK) Wiki Loves Earth international team

Dear local organisers of Wiki Loves Earth 2016,
if you'd like to have a blog post about your country posted at
http://wikilovesearth.org/ feel free to send me a text and I will post it
there. You could write about a biosphere reserve or a national park in your
country; present some valued, quality or featured images taken during a
previous edition of Wiki Loves Earth; tell a story about a lake, a
mountain, an animal from your country. By creating an interesting text you
can motivate more people to join or be more active during the coming
contest.
Best regards,
Nikola Kalchev / User:Лорд Бъмбъри
