Hi everyone,
It's nice to have a lot of images of monuments on Commons, but it's even
nicer to also have these images in use on Wikipedia. To assist in adding
images to the lists I have been compiling galleries of unused images. I
now improved this and made an overview page at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images
Please help out by adding unused images to the lists on Wikipedia and
spreading the word to the local communities!
Thank you,
Maarten
Ps. Some of these pages are in my userspace. If you have a better
location (like a subpage of your local heritage project) please contact
me off-list.
Hello all,
I'm presenting a GSOC proposal for a native desktop
application designed for mass uploading files on
upload campaigns.
This follows the call by Odder at [1] for such a tool,
and indeed the scope of the tool would be tailored to
WikiLovesMonuments.
The deliverable is such an application, which shall be:
* A tiny autocontained program (probably in C++), with
different versions for each target operating system.
* Configurable defaults for uploading to Wikimedia Commons
own images as cc-by-sa with given templates and categories.
* The user shall be able to change the license / categories
if needed.
* Request the monument id for the image.
* Validation of the monument identifier through a web
service if available and time permits.
* Basic documentation of the competition (rules and FAQ)
* Contains the WLM logo somewhere.
* Localisable through translatewiki.net for at least the
28 countries of [2]
* Save configuration of images description for later upload.
* Asynchronous upload of the images in the background.
Opinions? Improvements? Sexy names? Mentors?
All of them are welcome!

(as a side issue, how do the linux lists operate so they can maintain
a non-subscriber list?)
