Hi all,
As you all know, Wikimedia cares about how the trademarks of Wikimedia (the
logos etc) are being used, but at the same time likes to enable the
community to do what it is best at - including organizing Wiki Loves
Monuments!
Unfortunately it is unavoidable to have a requirement to ask permission to
use the Wikimedia trademarks when organizing Wikimedia stuff like Wiki
Loves Monuments - but the Wikimedia Foundation is trying to make this as
lightweight as possible.
All the chapters have already sufficient permission to use the trademarks,
so don't have to bother about this. However, if you're organizing Wiki
Loves Monuments in a country *without* a recognized chapter, please get in
touch with Asaf Bartov at the Wikimedia Foundation (abartov at wikimedia.org,
you can keep me in cc) and you will be helped as soon as possible with
getting permission for your local organization/organizing team to get
trademark permissions for the duration and purpose of this contest. That
way you can mention Wikipedia and use the Wikipedia logo in your press
releases and on your websites/events (appropriately of course). This
shouldn't be a big deal, but it is unfortunately a bureaucratic loop we
have to jump through.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Lodewijk
Dear all,
the Lombardia region has released the list of monuments with free license
and some groups are working to ask to other regions to do the same.
In addition Italy has reached an agreement with WWF (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Fund_for_Nature) to include also
the naturalistic parks owned by that association.
The real problem is that all these lists are heterogeneous and don't have a
single identifier valid for all of them and there could be the risk to have
duplicates.
For this reason WM IT is working around a *new* system of single identifier
to have all these lists in a single repository and to avoid any problems
connected with duplicates.
Kind regards
Ilario Valdelli
Good morning,
good news for the Upload Wizard: one of our main requests was deployed,
we can pass parameters via the URL now.
The parameters are:
id (i.e. campaign id/monuments id)
description
lat
lon
alt (altitude)
This allows us to do a "one-click-upload" for a monument. I'm sure you
have plenty ideas for that ;-)
An example would be:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campaig…
Of course it works also without the campaign name and id for the
standard wizard.
First tests looked ok, but I'm sure we need to test the details
(formatting of the values, format of the coordinates etc., extreme ideas
people could have ;-))
So it would be nice if you test it as much as you can and provide me
with your feedback here! Thanks a lot.
Regards,
elke

Hi all,
Erik Zachte has compiled some new statistics for Wikimedia Commons.
Previously, WikiStats primarily captured the standard metrics (editing
activity etc.). Since Commons is first and foremost about media, those
metrics weren't as useful to see trends in activity. You can see the
new numbers starting here:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesWikipediaCOMMONS.htm#upload…
.. and they should be reliably and automatically generated going
forward. There are also some new summary graphs:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/SummaryCOMMONS.htm
Note that we can break out in both tables the impact of Upload Wizard.
The numbers show that the growth rate of Commons increased very
significantly after UW was enabled in May 2011. The number of
contributors grew by about 25% from March 2011 to March 2012, compared
with ~12% in the prior year.
The numbers also clearly show the impact of "Wiki Loves Monuments" in
terms of the number of uploaders -- in September 2011, 22642 people
uploaded at least one file to Commons, a huge jump from the previous
month (16869). The number of uploaders quickly returned to previous
levels, but it's fantastic to see that a single event can bring in so
many new people.
Erik's working on some additional stats, but I wanted to share this
date with you. He's also going to write a blog post about this new
data. Please report any oddities or inconsistencies directly to him.
I also want to give a shout-out to Bryan Tong Minh who's been
maintaining the incredibly useful commons-stats here:
https://toolserver.org/~bryan/stats/ - which previously were my
primary source of relevant data (and there are still some stats there
that don't exist anywhere else).
Cheers,
Erik
Some weeks ago I had a call with Patrik Birrer from Lichtenstein
"Denkmalschutz-Kommission", he promised me they'll publish their list not
later than july... There are a maximum of 200 objects, 2 month should be
enohgh time to create some lists ;)

Dear all,
after a quick analysis and evaluation of the job to be done, Wikimedia CH
would announce that Switzerland will participate to Wiki Loves Monuments
2012.
I think that the list of monuments is already available and in few days we
will evaluate the remaining job to be done.
Kind regards
