Instagram and Creative Commons
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '22

Dear all, a doubt: is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons? Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)? Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM (they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating monuments on Wikipedia) but is a legal matter. Aubrey

WMF mobile contributions team quarterly review
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

A lot of food for thought at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_r…>. Particularly interesting IMHO the parts on app uploads to Commons (started a month ago), WLM app (only 3000 uploads but lots of experience), watchlist on mobile successful for recruitment («Currently, mobile is the only vector for signup that has substantially changed to bring more people in»[1]) and whether that's the right focus.

Hi, I'd love to help with WLM 2013 but it's really hard to find a designated planning area. Could someone point me in the right direction?

[WikiLovesPublicArt] Would you like to be part of the international jury for WLPA?
by John Andersson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi Pradeep, Have you been successful identifying any list(s) of artworks? If you don't find a national list you might be able to find a regional or municipal list that you could use instead this year - to try out the concept. Most countries, sadly, seem to lack a national database of artworks.

A few people in India have expressed interest in doing WLPA. I am looking for a listing of public art in India. Any help in this regard would be of help. warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas Pradeep Mohandas How Pradeep uses email? - http://goo.gl/6v1I9 ________________________________ From: John Andersson <john.andersson at wikimedia.se> To: "wikilovesmonuments at lists.wikimedia.org" <wikilovesmonuments at lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Friday, 22 February 2013 7:21 PM Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Would you like to be part of the international jury for WLPA? Hi Pradeep, I don't know anyone in the GLAM sector in India so I can't really give you any insights. However, I do have a few suggestions where you could ask to find someone who knows more: * Perhaps the GLAMs in India that you have been in contact with before could be of assistance? * It might be an idea to post a question on WikiProject Visual Arts. There are a lot of great people hanging around there. :) * Someone on the Cultural partners mailing list might know what Indian organizations to contact. Also, perhaps we should move the discussion about Wikimedia India's participation to Wiki Loves Public Art's mailing list instead: wikilovespublicart at lists.wikimedia.org? There might be some knowledgeable people there that might be able to help.

Hi John, I apologise if this is seen as going off-topic for this list. One of the principal problem that we are trying to address vis-a-vis public art in India is the lack of a central repository of lists of such a work. For WLM, we had such a list provided by the Archaeological Survey of India, which defined monuments in India. I have, thus far not seen any similar definition or institution for public art in India. However, we are trying to solve this issue by talking to art institutions in general and certain organisations that do public art performance in India like The Wall Project, Khoj International. At this level, I guess it would help if we can get contacts or introductions to people whom we can speak to in India, in this regard.

Sent: Thu, Feb 21, 2013 3:56:46 PM Hi Niraj, Thank you kindly for your offer! This initiative is not only for European Chapters and Wikimedia India is more than welcome to participate if you would like to organize the contest in India! It would be great if you would! As Wikimedia Sweden's involvement is financed by Europeana any direct financial support (from our project budget) can only be given to European Chapters (e.g. for my work time or for costs of hosting websites etc.). However, I would be happy to assist Wikimedia India with my volunteer hat on if there is something that you are wondering about! :) Cheers, John - - - - John Andersson Wikimedia Sweden Project Leader Europeana Awareness Phone: +46(0)73-3965189 Email: john.andersson at wikimedia.se Skype: johnandersson86 Be sure to follow us on Twitter at @wikieuropeana Visit http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projekt:Europeana_Awareness/English for more information about our project!

FOP in Europe: does this include WWII monuments with art?
by Jane Darnell 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hello, WMNL was recently approached for helping start a photo contest for WWII monuments. Based on this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Europe_NC.svg We assumed that these photographs could be used on Wikipedia, but the recent discussions about the DMCA takedown notice for this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Houseball_(Oldenburg_and_van_Bru… indicate that FOP in Europe is not really FOP. To be careful, we have decided to cancel the photo contest idea, though people are of course terribly disappointed about this. Does anyone know the status of this discussion? Of course, WLM has brought in several thousand of these "possibly-not-FOP" sculptures, as they are often WLM monuments themselves, or are situated directly in front of buildings that are WLM monuments. Thanks in advance for any info you have - we need a short and sweet way to inform the WWII monument committee and WMNL volunteers why we are cancelling. Jane

WLM Moldova
by Giku Promitt 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hello. I am Gheorghe A. Iordachi, active user and administrator on Romanian Wikipedia. http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilizator:Gik%C3%BC / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gik%C3%BC I'd like to organize Wikipedia Loves Monuments in the Republic of Moldova. This is the first time I'm ever doing something for wikipedia outside of site itself. Guys from WLM Romania directed me to you, they said I can get here first directions. Agency for Inspection and Rebuilding of Monuments from Moldova (http://airmc.wordpress.com/) is interested in spreading the info in Moldova, and are willing to organize the contest themselves. So what do I start with? I got the monuments list in a parseable format (http://data.gov.md/raw/952) and I have the Romanian wikipedians' word - they can help me with sharing their experience. Looking forward to a successful collaboration. Thank you. Gheorghe A. Iordachi
