Local contests
by Vicenç Riullop 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I am not sure how many local contests there are with special prizes. I mean not national contests. I know last year there were an award for photos from Vlissingen-Flushing. Now I can identify the images for a local prize in Catalonia, but how to identify them to the jury? With a new category, a template? The same image could fall in three categories: Images from WLM Spain, Images from WLM Catalonia and Art Nouveau images from WLM. Is it reasonable? Any suggestion? Vicenç

Making it into Guinness?
by Marco Chiesa 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi all, I was checking on the Guinness Book of Records and it seems we may have broken a world record. The largest photography competition so far could only attract 126,521 entries [1] and we're now well past 133k Congratulations to everyone!

Art Nouveau Prize images
by Maarten Dammers 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi everyone, As you might now we have a special Art Nouveau prize. Finding these images in the total collection of more than 130.000 photos is a bit difficult. Please help by adding the category http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Art_nouveau_images_from_Wiki_Lov… to any art nouveau images you might spot. If you're not sure if it's really art nouveau; just add it, the jury will figure it out. Thank you, Maarten

by Lodewijk 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi all, for the EHA submission, I would like to include an estimate of how many people visited our national websites alltogether. Could you please send an estimate on how many people will have visited your website in the month september? Hay, could you try to find a way to estimate the number of visitors for the .eu website in the same period? Thanks! Lodewijk

How big was your budget?
by Lodewijk 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi, for the European Heritage Awards submission we need to make an estimate of the costs. Therefore I would like to ask all countries to send us (through wlm(a)wikimedia.org if it has to be somewhat private) their relevant budget exempts. We want to know: * Roughly how much you budgeted * If available, how much you spent/expect to have spent * A very rough breakdown of this budget - what will you/did you spend it on? It should include personnel costs etc. Thanks, Lodewijk

evaluation
by Lodewijk 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi all, as a heads up (more information will follow later), the following steps I have in mind for evaluation, learning lessons and writing down improvements and creating documentation for a next edition: * Make a survey for the organizers - what was easy, what was hard; how did you do? * Make a more general survey for everybody passing by - what impression did the contest leave you, how could it improve * Make a survey for participants - how easy was uploading, how could we improve (translations needed!) That for online work. Also, I think it would be really useful if *all countries* have their own short evaluation, preferrably in real life, and submit a short report of the lessons learned etc in English so that we can all benifit (maybe someone can help setting up a general form for that). Finally, I would love to get together with some of the organizers of some countries and do a thorough (full day) real life evaluation and go more in depth, and record the most important lessons. We were thinking of combining this with (i.e. just before/after) the Cultural Heritage camp (a.k.a. GLAMcamp) in November/December in (afaik) the Netherlands. If you are willing to participate in that (I rather have a small motivated group than a big unmotivated) please let us know! Best, Lodewijk

Fundraiser translation banners this week
by Jon Harald Søby 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi again folks, We want to run another set of banners to recruit translators for the fundraiser this week, in some areas overlapping with the WLM banners. If it is alright with you we would like to do it the same way we did previously, namely with a rough 25-75 split with the WLM banners, so they are still shown. The banners will only run for logged-in users, so anonymous users will not be affected. The countries that will be affected are these: * Tuesday 27th ** 17:00–21:00 UTC: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands ** 15:00–21:00 UTC: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Andorra * Wednesday 28th ** 17:00–22:00 UTC: Portugal, Spain * Thursday 29th ** 12:00–23:59 UTC: Poland * Friday 30th ** 12:00–23:59 UTC: Russia, Hungary, Estonia, Romania Please let me know if there is a problem – and sorry about the late notice for the ones tomorrow. -- Jon Harald Søby Community Fellow Wikimedia Foundation

All tools are broken
by Maarten Dammers 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi everyone, WMF decided to deploy a new version of MediaWiki. All tools are either broken or provide incorrect output data. I don't have time to fix it. I hope someone else can and will do it. Maarten

by Lodewijk 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all, just a quick note: we JUST HIT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND! And almost a week to go! The 100.000th upload is from Porto, Portugal: http://twitter.com/#!/Effeietsanders/status/117990127292264448 / http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Igreja_de_Santa_Clara_001.jpg - it seems it was part of the Wiki takes Porto event! Great work all, and one more week to go, so lets see if we can tenfold the submissions of 2010! (12.500) Lodewijk

Polish search machine
by Tomasz Ganicz 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi, Our friends from "Project:Poland" have created such a monuments search engine: http://wikilubizabytki.centrumcyfrowe.pl/ It does generally 3 things: a) in the first field you can put a keyword for a name of monument - b) in the second field you can put the name of the place - i.e. a name of the village, county, city district etc. c) in the third field you can put the number or part of the number of the monument and see its offical name and address For example: if you put in the first field the keyword "pałac" (palace) you will get a list of all palaces in Poland which have official heritage status. If you add to the second field the keyword "Warszawa" - you have a list of all palaces in Warsaw. 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
