update countries
by Lodewijk 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi all, unfortunately our Belarusian friends needed to cancel their contest - they were unable to pull it off in time this year. We knew it would be likely a few countries (not specified) would have to withdraw - and I am amazed still how many countries did make it! Just take a look at the list... Great work all! Lodewijk

Upload wizzard again
by Tomasz Ganicz 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi, Is there any progress with this? There is page: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monu… with links to localised versions of the wizzard - but it leads to Null/Dev :-) No instruction how to create the localized wizzard... There is very little time to localize wizzards - we will be in real trouble if we won't mange to have it on September 1st. In our case (Poland) this is the very last - but also very crucial part of the game :-) Cheers, -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz

main prize for European competition
by Lodewijk 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi all, unless I'm overseeing some developments, the big prizes for the European competition are not going extremely well. There is the prize offered by Europeana of course (and the 12 calendars!), but aside from that it is still a bit empty unfortunately. In the European budget, we reserved 1500 euro for a European prize, and analogue to the Indonesian writing contest, the idea has been with several people to spend that on a "scholarship" for the winner to visit Wikimania. Also, there is one special prize for video (from Sound & Vision), and one special prize for Art Nouveau (from Europeana). See also http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/awards/ . Am I missing anything? Would there be huge objections to the scholarship idea as a first prize? Lodewijk

Monuments map widget for your site
by Hay (Husky) 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi everyone, Maarten did a little more hacking and now we have a working API to make a live Google Map of monuments on your site. It's already active on wlm.nl. Check it out here: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.nl/monumenten/ To get the same thing on your own site here are the steps you'll need to follow 1) Construct the correct API url: http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=dynamickml&… Replace 'CODE' with your own country code 2) Copy-paste the URL in Google Maps (in the place where you'd normally put a query for a street or something) 3) Click on the 'link' button on the top-right corner and select 'Customize and preview embedded map' 4) I would recommend making the map a little larger 5) Scroll down and copy-paste the iframe code to your site. Note that many Mediawiki installations probably prohibit copy-pasting iframe chunks like that. -- Hay

English explanation pages for national contests
by Lodewijk 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Dear all, as most (all?) WLM contests will be in a local language, but we also would like foreigners to be able to participate, I would like to ask that every national contest writes a summary with all important stuff in English on one page. This should at least include: * Summary of the rules (especially those which deviate from the usual rules), with link to the official rules * Upload procedure summary, with link to upload form (as soon as available) * How to find the relevant identifier & which monuments participate * What can be won - the coolest prizes (with link to full overview) * Anything else you find necessary If this fits on one page, we would like the link to that page on our European website. If you use multiple pages, please provide us with a link to an English portal page. Please add the link to said page on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Progress . If you're lost on that table, just email the link. Of course this is a good opportunity to check the rest of the table too for missing information - also a good check to see if you got all important steps covered. WLM is coming soon, so also check out the Timeline<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Timeline> . Thanks in advance for your cooperation! Best, Lodewijk

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Austrian Database

Hi Alex, I looked into Austria. 1. I don't see Gemeinde in the lists yet. Please send an email when you added this. 2. Coordinates: What's exactly the problem? I see that https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/wiki/Vorlage:Denkmalliste_%C3%96s… only accepts decimal format and that's what I can parse now.

Hi all, Since many are working on press releases now, please find attached the Dutch press releases - for your inspiration. One is "regional" and has a few variables which volunteers can change and then send to local news papers. The other is national and is fixed and will be sent to national news outlets. I'm sure Google translate will help you to get an idea of the text. Lodewijk

Jury duty?
by Axel Pettersson 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Hi all,Mainly directed to the organizers of last years contest but also to the other countrys. What is the best way to get the jury to go through all the images? Did you put them in one room and force them to stay there until they had looked att all 12.5k images or do you have some other way of doing it? Are there any good tools for doing it fast and simple? /axel [[User:Haxpett]] ==================================== Axel Petterssontele +46 (0)8 641 81 79mobil +46 (0)730 59 58 13 haxpett(a)hotmail.com press(a)wikimedia.se Wikimedia.se - Stöd fri kunskap!

Monuments without identifier
by Romaine Wiki 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello all, In the country Luxembourg we have monuments, but so far we know these monuments have no unique identifier. It seems an important aspect of the monument lists in other countries (Belgium, Netherlands, etc) that the photo's have an identifier so that they are easily matched with the monument lists. As we know nothing about unique identifiers, how do who solve that situation? - Should we leave the monuments without unique identifier? - Should we create our own unique identifier? Like one based on for example the community with us giving a number to a monument in the order of when a monument got listed? - Anyone a idea? Greetings - Romaine
