Hello,
The commons cat on Hungary got deleted today by somebody on the reason of: "does not participate". But i believe Hungary does indeed participate since a few days. So whats up with this? I guess the cat should be undeleted and the pictures putted back in. (Samat do you know more?)
Another thing: somebody tagged his Czech images with Wiki loves Monuments tags: I deleted those templates because Czech doesn't participate.
Mvg,
Bas
Dear all,
Please have a look at
*
the Culture portal of the European Commission (EN, DE and FR)
http://ec.europa.eu/culture/index_en.htm
*
the newsletter of the Directorate-General for Education and Culture of the European Commission (distributed to almost 8.000 contacts across Europe in the education and culture sector in EN, DE and FR)
http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/education_culture/enews/letters2011/sep_en.htm
*
the EUROPA- the Portal of the whole European Commission (all EU languages)
http://ec.europa.eu/news/culture/110915_en.htm
*
I had already sent you the press release in all EU languages, as well:
http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/11/1012&format=H…
Wiki loves monuments is everywhere! It has also been published in the internal magazine that goes to all Commission employees, "Commission en direct".
Thank you, Kilian and Daniel for your precious help. And of course thank you Maarten, Lodewijk and all the volunteers involved :-)
Good luck with the competition and kind regards,
Monica

After stats, the charts!
This is all based on the API, which means each one of you can just use
the framework to build your own graphs. Results are 15min cached.
Daily uploads:
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/tools/stats/wlmchart.php?ctshowagg=0&c…
You can request aggregats, so it will return a progress chart:
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/tools/stats/wlmchart.php?ctshowagg=0&c…
Parameters:
- ctwidth, ctheight
- ctshowagg (show aggregates)
- ctcountry (list of countries separated by pipe "|")
I wish we could have a list of events, maybe in a google doc, per
country, so we could relate them to the statistics. For instance, on day
X we sent out a press release, does that reflect in number of uploads?
This is an obvious one, though....
Have fun,

Dear All,
Another tool that might become handy for you: this will list the
participants in your country which didn't register the e-mail (or are
not able to be mailed).
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/tools/verify/users.php?country=Portugal
Please stand by if the page takes long to load, especially if it's a
country with great number of participants. It might take some time while
data is not cached. If you stop loading the page, just hit reload.
Hope it helps.

Hi everyone,
This weekend I modified the bot I used to automatically geocode Dutch
Rijksmonumenten to be able to handle other countries too. If your
country has unique identifiers and has geo information in the list my
bot can now geocode your images. Some examples:

I still need a way to figure out for what countries it works and for
what countries it will make a mess ;-)

Hi all,
We in the fundraiser team would like to run some banners again on Sept 21st,
to recruit translators for the fundraiser. We want to do the same as we did on
Sept 15th<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2011-September/0014…>,
with the exception on running the banners for two hours and not one. They
will run in Denmark, Norway and Sweden (+a few other areas not covered by
WLM banners), from 17:00 to 19:00 UTC. Like last time, they will run with
approximately 80%, leaving 20% for the WLM banners for those two hours. I
hope this is not a problem; if it is, give a shout. :o)
(Oh, and a little shout-out: You are all invited to help translate the
fundraiser; see [[m:Fundraising
2011/Translation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Translation>]]
for that. ;D)
(And: Thanks to all the organizers for the awesome job you've done with WLM
so far!)

Hello,
I would like to relaunch the discussion.
Taking in account everything that was told on this list, here is what I suggest :
Ask some Members of the European Parliament (at last Yannick Jadot[1] which we already know for having met him in June, but if you know about other MEPs who might be interested, feel free to point me their names ;)) to book a room at the European Parliament for us in December and do the following :
- A one-month (for example) exibition of the twelve winning pictures.
- the day of the inauguration, a conference on Freedom of Panorama for the MEPs in late afternoon, followed by the opening of the exhibition. No need to have all the winners present, or to pay for their fly, but we can tell them they can come if they want.
The purpose of this would be both to communicate about WLM and do some lobbying, and, incidentally, to maintain our contacts with members of Parliament
Wikimedia France staff (namely, me and Adrienne) would handle all the necessary work, and Antoine can organize a Wikimedia Takes Brussels at the same time.
If there are no objections to this, I'll recontact Yannick Jadot's personnal assistant - we met her back in June, and she is aware of the opportunity to organize an event about Wiki Loves Monuments.
Best Regards,Sylvain. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yannick_Jadot

Hi Sylvain, all,
although it sounds exciting, I'm afraid we have to be realistic. 1) it is rather impossible to fly in all winners - even if we have the budget for that (which we don't) - because of the tight time frame. If we fly nobody in, it would basically be a press conference, and no press will be really interested in that I assume.
If by "all winners", you mean the 180 winners (10 selected pics * 18 participating countries), I agree, of course. But flying in the final winners of the European contest (how many are they supposed to be, by the way ? There is no indication about that in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Concept ) can be realistic.
Basically, what we want to do is a combination of the following : - Held a small award ceremony, giving their prize to the winners. No need to have hundreds of people to come...- An exhibition of the winning photographs
- A conference about some topic on which we want the eurodeputies to work and which is relevant to the contest (the first thing that comes to mind is Freedom of Panorama.)- At the same time, a "Wikimedia Takes Brussels" :)
IMO, none of these would necesit more time or money than we can afford.
2) currently, we have no budget for a ceremony - so you would have to find that (there was money budgetted, but since we were not able to fill in all budget with money from chapters, we have to limit ourselves)
I think Wikimédia France can pay for what is related to the event itself, and maybe the other European chapters can help with the transportation and accomodation of the winners ?
3) at least Maarten and I have no time to organize such a meeting - it requires quite a lot of work because you need to get an interesting program to attract people in the first place.Maarten and you have already done much, we don't ask you anything ;)
4) We got accepted at DISH 2011, and can do the prize announcement in the presentation there.
What is it ? I've never heard of that...
Regards,Sylvain.

Hello all,
I think the proposal is great! I personally do not know any members of the parliament, but if I/we can help out with the organization, let us know. We have users living in the area who also organize the ceremony for Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium / Luxembourg on the 10th of November.
At the moment we still miss 426 pictures of the total 578 monuments there are in the ciry area of Brussels.
About FOP, in Belgian law copyright on pictures of buildings isn't that clear as it is sometimes spoken of. Getting attention for this subject would be very welcome.
Greetings - Romaine
