Hello Roel,
In 2011 each country decides for itself how many pictures are considered to be in the top ... of that specific country. Only the top 10 of those were nominated for the international contest.
In 2011 we had with the contest in Belgium & Luxemburg 22 winning pictures. Only the top 10 of those were nominated for the international contest. It is possible that a country only chooses 3 winning pictures, they still should send in the best 10 pictures for the international contest.
Greetings - Romaine
PS: Maybe it is an idea we organize a monthly IRC office hours, but then for all sorts of questions regarding Wiki Loves Monuments. (Of course at other moments the IRC channel #Wikilovesmonuments @ freenode can be used as well for questions.)

Hi Romaine,
I didn't quite get that, sorry I'm confused this is the first time we're participating.
So the national contest gets to nominate 2 images? While there would be worldwide nominations where 10 would be chosen by practically anyone?
Regards,
Roel

There are two sets of nominations: one are the worldwide nominations: that are 10 pictures, two are the national nominations: that number was in 2011 all to the organization to determine, with the top 10 of those getting into the international contest.

Hi,
Going over the timeline that has been set, were confident we can compress the tasks you have provided so we can hold a launch of the project in the Philippines on March 24. Uploading period of entries would still be in conformity with what is provided, from September 1 to 30. So practically from March 24 until September 30 they can take as much photos they would want to enter in the competition but could only upload them from September 1 to 30.
I'd like to know though how many entries can a country nominate, is it still 10?
Regards,
ROEL BALINGITTreasurer/ WLM Philippine Project Lead

Hello all,
February 18 is closing fast: the date we would like to know roughly which countries are organizing Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012, see:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Timeli…
I think it would be good if we make this project more known and easy to step in for users on projects, chapters and so on. I guess/hope the chapters have been emailed earlier about this, perhaps we should do again. Also I think we should post in each village pump on the many Wikipedia's a short message what the goals are, how to participate, etc. Wikimedians telling each other what WLM is about is good, but I think we can perhaps reach more people.
Also should we already start on making participations more definite in Google Docs? It is only 15 days left until February 18, our rough timeline.
Greetings - Romaine

Hi,
The Philippines would like to launch the project towards the end of March
to coincide with the onset of the summer and travel season in the country.
We have been made aware, that the infrastructure would not be ready until
September, and thus from the launching date which is targeted to be March
24, until September we would be constantly promoting the competition, and
just continuously update the participants on how to upload their entries
once the infrastructure is ready.
Would there by any problems or objections on our move?
