Dear all, here is a short video I made about Commons, WLM, and ideas on how to reuse this content -- the purpose is to deliver some information on Commons and WLM quickly, while suggesting local entities to reuse this content for their own purpose. The video with no subtitles (french): http://www.lemuseelibre.com/wikilovesmonuments.html With subtitles (french, english): http://www.universalsubtitles.org/fr/videos/xnGpy1BeWK7m/info/ (If you want to add subtitles in your own language, please do!) The video reuse nice infographics from "The State of Wikipedia" (Jess3) and is licensed under CC by-sa 3.0. Enjoy, -- Bastien

Fwd: [cultural-partners] Help moving content off of Etherpads
by Lodewijk 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

came across this by accident. We should perhaps also move some of our stuff. Too bad they are doing this without announcing a bit wider, but lets just move it away and find a more permanent solution. Using a wiki for this kinda sucks but I guess we won't be able to get around it. Don't forget to add a __NOINDEX__ everywhere. Anyone who wants to move everything linked from http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WLM ? Lodewijk ---------- Mensagem encaminhada ---------- De: Lori Phillips <lori.byrd.phillips(a)gmail.com> Data: 28 de Fevereiro de 2012 22:23 Assunto: [cultural-partners] Help moving content off of Etherpads Para: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination < cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch> Hello all, WMF staff are currently discussing making some changes to the Wikimedia Etherpad system. We in the GLAM sphere are very guilty of being overly dependent on Etherpad for basic documentation of our events, and not following up with moving that content on-wiki. At this point we really should get all of our content off of Etherpad. And in the future when we use Etherpad (which is a fine thing to use, btw, just not for storing) -- we need to be better about moving it on-wiki as we go. I just don't have the time to tackle this right now, so I'd be much appreciative if someone would be bold and help move our documentation onto Outreach talk pages or anywhere else that it may make sense for it to live. (I'll say again, be bold!) As a gift, I have for you my listing of Amsterdam Etherpads (which is where we were most prolific), for your convenience: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LoriLee/Bookmarks#Etherpads There are also links to Etherpads on the various event pages, particularly the New York GLAMcamp and the DC GLAMcamp. Are there any others you can think that are out there? Please help me fill in the gaps. NYC: etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampNYC (And associated links therein) DC: *http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampDC* *http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampDC-Saturday* *http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampDC-Sunday* *http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampDC-Outcomes* I know there are some documentation-loving rock stars out there who'll take this on.

WLM US (Personal) Update
by Sarah Stierch 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi everyone, I had an email this morning privately pinging me to see how planning is going for Wiki Loves Monuments United States. I've had a number of people pinging me privately - I put myself in a leadership position (shocker!) and now I have to sadly back out of it. I was hoping I could have a big role in planning this years Wiki Loves Monuments US, I fear that I cannot /at this time/. Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I have a habit of dedicating myself to projects, generally following through, but, stressing myself beyond the norm to achieve said project. Well, that isn't going to be able to be what happens this time. *Wiki Loves Monuments US needs a volunteer organizer who has the time, experience and ability to help spearhead this event that has the time*. I think the United States will benefit greatly from a volunteer organizer for this event. While I was hoping I could help be that person, I can't. So if anyone would like to, please step up! I know we have great leaders in our US movement and I've been amazed by the folks who have signed up on the Commons page. Why do I have to send this email? Currently I am in the heat of major deadlines and project(s) with my fellowship at the Foundation, I'm preparing to start my second job this semester at the Smithsonian Archives and I am attending school full time this semester in order to obtain my master's - oh and finishing my thesis, and there are GLAM WIKI obligations that I am traveling for when I have the time. I'm also active in other non-profits (what?!). Oh, and I'm going to most likely be moving from Washington come June. Oh, and yes, I have a personal life, and it'd be nice to have that too ;-) Last night I had a dream that I lost my camera. Perhaps that was a sign that I had to send out this email. Thanks and I hope someone who lives in the States, has the time and energy can step up to lead the energized group of volunteers who want to see this great project succeed! (And of course, there is always next year). I /will/ be participating, I just have to limit my role this year and see what I can provide after graduation in late May.

press attention
by Andre Koopal 26 Feb '12

Hi, A while ago I answered an OTRS ticket from somebody asking if they could publish the pictures in their magazine, a spanish photo magazine. I explained them the concept of free pictures, but also mentioned that we would appreciate to see the article. They just today responded with the pdf's of the article, by the looks a small explanation in spanish and mainly the winning pictures. People with OTRS access can see the pdf's at: https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=… Regards, Andre

Press coverage
by Andrea Zanni 25 Feb '12

Hi all, as you probably know, Italy this year is willing to participate to WLM, even if it's against the law :-) Our strategy is to gain as many partnerships as possible with local institutions and associations, those who can sign agreements and have "rights" on the monuments. Thus, we created a website for spreading the word: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.it/ (still under construction) My question (the first of many, be sure :-) is: is there anywhere some press coverage on the contest? It would be nice for us to select articles to show the importance of WLM. Moreover, do we already have a list of partners of WLM 2012? I recall Europeana, Europa Nostra, someone else? Thank your for your help. Aubrey

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Switzerland

The list of > monuments is the same of last year but we can add the official > monuments of category B which have been updated recently. At the moment I just have the English version of the lists in the big database. I would love to have the French, German and maybe even Italian versions in these lists in the database and of course both categories. See for example the following pages: * https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kulturg%C3%BCter_von_nationaler_Bed… * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cultural_property_of_national_signifi… * https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_biens_culturels_d%27importance_nati… Only the lists in English are in a format I can use to put it in the database (structured lists), but for a lot entries the identifier is missing. I'm currently using the KGS_nr from http://kgs-gis.admin.ch/?lang=de as identifier. To have everything in the database these lists need to be converted to the structured format and the identifier needs to be added. Especially the second step is quite some work. Maybe someone is in touch with the agency so we can the information in an easier format? I have some experience in automagically converting lists and adding identifiers from my little NRHP project, but for that I need a good database I can use to base things on > Until when the database can be upated? Anytime. The sooner, the better though. Maarten

Hello. Can there be two monuments lists with an identical set of monuments but in different languages? For instance, a list in Belarusian and Russian (hypothetically) for Belarus? -- З павагай, Павел Селіцкас/Paul Selitskas Wizardist @ Wikimedia projects p.selitskas(a)gmail.com, +375257408304 Skype: p.selitskas
