Hi Alexander,

We discussed this and we decided to explicitly allow such photos. We will add this to the rules.

Hello Alexander,

 I would be very grateful to you if you would not be shouting[1]. Ilya is right about the linking of the document.

 Best regards,
 Nikola

 Dear Nikola,

 There are more open questions than the contest period. Namely, 

 - the rules say that the photos 'Contain an identified natural monument / natural park / protected area etc.' This requirement is not fulfilled by at least 30% of the winners from last year because pictures of birds and flowers do not contain any identified natural monument. You either have to change the wording as to include such pictures, or you have to discard them, or you have to do something else. A separate nomination for these pictures was discussed on the talk page, so perhaps someone could finally write something conclusive there??? It is at least fourth time I am asking this question, and I never got any meaningful response.

 - cutoff on image resolution. If it stays at 2 Mpx, fine. If you want to change it, do it now

 - we need a clear timeline, such as:
 ** Contest period: May 1-31 
 ** Deadline for the submission of winners from each country: June 30
 ** International jury starts grading process: July 5
 ** International jury ends grading process: July 31
 ** Winners announced: August 10

 You can choose any dates you like, but you have to give us a clear timeline already NOW.

 Sincerely,
 Alexander

Dear WLE international team members,

 This page is still a draft: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2016/Rules

Could you please finalize it?

 Dear Nataliia,

 The discussion at Commons_talk:Wiki Loves Earth 2016 has been dormant for weeks now. When can we expect the WLE timeline along with clearly defined rules for this year? The most pending question is about nominations, birds, flowers and all these issues that directly affect the structure of national contests.

 I look forward to hearing from you or from other international organizers.

 Sincerely,
 Alexander

Hi all;
 Will the international team of wiki loves earth, request a grant this year for the organisation of the international event ?
