Dear All,
I am proud and delighted to hereby announce that the jury of Wiki Loves
Monuments 2011 in Poland has chosen the three winning photos of the
contest and 7 other pictures that won an honourable mention; all ten
photos are also nominated for the European stage of the competition.
An overview of the winning photos is available at the following page on
the Polish Wikipedia: <http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WLZ>.
What I find *really* incredible is that all ten winning photos have been
uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by users who have registered an account
specifically for the contest. This confirms our assumptions :-) that the
idea of the contest has been really appealing for new users, and I hope
that some of those people can stay on Wikipedia for good.
Regards,

Hi!, I have noticed now that there are some images with bad or double
categorization in some categories of
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments, in this
category there are 3 photos of "monuments" but without the template and I
don't know where categorize them, and in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011 there
are 179 photos, most of then of "monuments" with double categorization, Is
correct simply delete the Wiki Loves Monuments category if them have the
correct subcategory?.
Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,
Some of our jury members would like to download images. Last year I made
https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/multichill/bot/erfgoed/download_WLM.p…
. It's a simple pywikipedia based downloader. Easy for me, but not
really for a (non-technical) jury member. Any suggestions what to give them?
I was thinking about compiling a list of all images, either originals or
thumbs depending on the size, as list of urls which people could feed to
a tool like wget. Any easier suggestions?

Hi all,
after some delay, the survey to all participants will go out tomorrow. It
will be a thankyou message posted on the talkpage of all participants (who
will get an email because their talkpage is altered if activated - default
setting for new accounts). This thank you will include also an invitation to
a survey.
This message and the survey is available in 18 languages. Please check it
out in multiple languages on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-thankyou-message?uselang=nl(…
= your language) and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-thankyou-message . Please
note it on the template talkpage or in this thread if there are any
problems. We will assign at a later stage a responsible native speaker for
each survey version.
Beria has volunteered to run the bot.
We will not post yet the message to the people who only participated in the
Hungarian contest.
Best regards,
Lodewijk
Oops, there were some spelling errors in that version, here comes an updated
one.

Dear all,****
** **
My name is Anna van den Broek and I work at Europeana. Currently I’m working
on the virtual Art Nouveau exhibition on Europeana which will contain a
selection of photos from the Art Nouveau category from the Wiki Loves
Monuments contest 2011. Therefore I would like to download the whole Art
Nouveau category. To do that, I wanted to use the Catdown tool (
http://toolserver.org/~platonides/catdown/catdown.php). I tried to use the
tool by pasting the link from the Art
Nouveau<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Art_nouveau_images_from_Wiki_Lov…>page
into the ‘category’ bar. When I do it like this I get the following
message: There are no images in that category. Could anyone please explain
me how to use the Catdown tool? Or tell me what I’m doing wrong?****

Many thanks,****
Anna****

Hi everyone,
I put all the videos submitted to Wiki Loves Monuments in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos_from_Wiki_Loves_Monument…
. Not a lot of videos I'm afraid. Uploading videos to Commons is just
too difficult I guess......
Should be a nice thing to work on in 2012: How to get more (quality)
user-made videos uploaded to Commons?

Hi everyone,
It would be nice if every country could make a short blog post for
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/ when their winning images are
announced. Sweden is the first. Maybe they can kick off the row of
posts. Next up is Poland :-)
It can be really short (this are the winning images from <country> and a
bunch of images) or you can write a bit more if the jury wrote something
or if you want to give some background, statistics etc.
Just put the text and links to the images on this list with a subject
like "blog post winning photos <your country>" and either Lodewijk, Elke
or myself will post it to the site.
