Autocategorize image in Upload Wizard
by Ilya Korniyko 30 Apr '14

Hi, I added Template:UploadCampaignLink<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:UploadCampaignLink&diff…> parameter to autofill categories in upload wizard. This way if upload wizard is ran from lists, it can autofill commons category for image. You can also show link to see gallery of images in commons catregory See example in Nepal row template<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ANepal_Monument_row&di…> and in Nepal list<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AList_of_Natural_Monu…> Ilya

Re: [Wikilovesearth] [Wiki Loves Monuments] Central Notice WLE

Hello Beppo & all, Later this evening and tomorrow I am fully focussed on getting everything ready. This concerns the upload wizards and upload campaigns. If anyone has questions or notes problems, the fastest way to reach me is at IRC with the nick Romaine. You can find me in the channel #wikilovesearth at freenode, webchat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23wikiloveasearth Romaine -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 4/28/14, Beppo.S(a)gmx.at <Beppo.S(a)gmx.at> wrote: Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Central Notice WLE To: "Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition" <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Monday, April 28, 2014, 12:32 PM Hello Romaine, you helped us with WLM Central Notice last year and we met at WikiCon in Karlsruhe. Many thanks again for your help. Austria will take part in Wiki Loves Earth this year. The upload for the contest begins as of May 1st 0:00 and ends on May 31st 23:59. Last year we had WLPA in May. We would like to have a central notice with the same data for WLE this year. We had it visible on de:WP and on Wikimedia Commons as far as I can see. For the Users which logged in with an IP from Austria, who had German as a default language on Commons, it was in German for the others it was in English. Both, IPs and logged in regular users could read it. Ther was a discussion on how many percent of the time the Cantral Notice would be visible, not to be boring too much for regular contributers. At last everybody was satisfied with the time, the banner was visible all over the month of May 2013. But I do not know the data of the settings for WLPA in May last year. I think for WLM in September 2013 we had similar settings. I spoke to several "officials" of WLE international (Ukraine), but me and even Lodewijk did not get answers to the questions about central notice for WLE in May 2014. I wonder, if other countries have set up banners for the central notice. Most of them will begin in May 2014. I want to ask you if you kindly could set up a central notice for the upload campaign for WLE, beginning with the first of May. The campaign on Commons itself could be installed by User:AlexX for the people uploading via the Austrian lists of Natural Monuments. I can send you the draft for the graphics of the banner as a PDF with next mail Which format do we need for the graphics? As in WLM it has the Logo of WLE on the left side and a photo of a Natural Monument on the right side. Many thanks in advance Beppo from WM AT WLE organizing team in Austria Gesendet: Sonntag, 27.

Central Notice (urgent!)
by Romaine Wiki 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello all, In a couple of days, Wiki Loves Earth is already going to start. Concerning the CentralNotice I have some questions: * Is it expected by the national organizers that there wille be arranged for them a CentralNotice? If yes: what will the design be? Concerning the text/link: If no: then you create a local sitenotice? (Only works for those countries in what the borders of a country roughly matches a specific language.) If yes: national teams must provide text which should be shown in the CentralNotice + a link to the landing page where participants can read about the contest. Add your information here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/CentralNot… If both added to the page, I will create it for you. No text and/or no url to a ready landing page = no CentralNotice! Greetings, Romaine

WDPA-ID, Commons-Template and Global WLE ??
by Thomas Springer 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

In germany we are currently working hard getting at least a few Lists of Protected Areas in Germany in shape for WLE until May 1st, having an upload-link with campaign in the list. We will stuff all listentrys not only with a local id, but also with an international WDPA-ID. I created a WDPA-Template on commons, currently implemented here for testing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schmiechener_See.jpg (File) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Naturschutzgebiet_Schmiechener_… (click on the icon to the left to get to the wdpa-site) I'd be happy about corrections and translations of the template. Since WDPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Database_on_Protected_Areas) seems to be the most complete list of protected areas this ID might help in the future to set up a generic, international WLE campaign instead of hosting several local campaigns for WLE. The WDPA-Data is far from beeing complete or completely accurate, but at least in europe there seems to be an almost complete 1:1-match of WDPA-IDs and Protected Areas, making WDPA a perfect source for a globally usable ID.

Hi Everybody, I am part of WLE Macedonia 2014. Our grant proposal is not approved yet. We'll be late several days with starting day. I hope that will not exclude us from international competition? Else, I need a help with this comment of Alex: Have you discussed the issue of the jury with the international team? We understand the desire to have more professional jury members, but there might be international volunteers with photographic experience who would be happy to be on the Macedonian jury for free. Alex Wang (WMF)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AWang_%28WMF%29> In discussion with Macedonian Board members I understand that WM Ukraina could help with this issue. Any suggestions? Regards, Zana
