Unused images and getting them used
by Maarten Dammers 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

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.

GSOC proposal: Native application uploader
by Platonides 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

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! 1- http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-March/002538.h… 2- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Partici…
