Instagram and Creative Commons
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '22

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

Yes, given the lack of freedom of panorama in Italy I* personally suggest you, as a foreigner, to put aside WLM and 1) avoid recent stuff of course for copyright reasons, 2) disregard the non-copyright restrictions, cross the border with all your precious treasures and immediately upload to Commons, laughing at the ministry.

WLM blog template needs updating -- looking for a volunteer
by Tomasz W. Kozlowski 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi again, in the remaining months building up to WLM 2013, I think it would be a good idea to take care of one thing that has already been mentioned last year — that is, making the Wordpress template used on <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org> mobile-friendly (or, in other words, responsive). To make things easier for the volunteer who will be willing to take up this task, I reported a bug in the recently renamed "Wiki Loves Monuments" product on Bugzilla—so if anyone'd like to help us out, please read the bug description at <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47674> and let us know :-) Thanks in advance, -- Tomasz

Importing to Wikidata
by Maarten Dammers 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hi everyone, Now is a good time to start information about our cultural heritage to Wikidata. Not everything is possible yet, but we can at least start with the simple things that need to be done anyway: * Have items for every monument article and list * Add claims to every monument article (P31) and list (P360) linking them to the article about the local cultural heritage (example: Rijksmonument) * Add country (P17) to all lists and articles Some things that are also possible (but not in all countries yet): * Add the identifier * Add the type of building * Add the administrative unit (state/province/municipality, etc) * Image * Commons category To keep track of this, we created https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Cultural_heritage_task_force . Who wants to help out? You don't need to be a bot or a wikidata wizard, just start with looking up the article about cultural heritage in your region. You can see several examples in the list. For bot owners: I'm using a claimit.py . It's in the rewrite branch of Pywikipedia. You can use it to mass add claims to Wikidata. For example for the lists of Rijksmonumenten: claimit.py -catr:Lijsten_van_rijksmomumenten -namespace:0 P360 Q916333 Maarten

[URGENT] Help write & design an advertisement for WLM 2013
by Tomasz W. Kozlowski 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hi there, just like in the previous years, we have been offered a free (as in free beer) full-page advertisement in the Europa Nostra magazine Heritage in Motion (this year's theme being Greece). The only requirement is that we create & design the advertisement by ourselves, and submit the design file (in JPG, PDF or AI, 23 x 30 cm + 5 mm bleed on all sides) by May 1. Since the deadline is just a few days away, I would appreciate any help in creating the text of the advertisement; let's use Etherpad for that purpose[1]. Also, if there are any volunteers willing to prepare a draft design (or if you just have any ideas), please speak up :-) You can use the 2011[2] and 2012[3] ads as examples. == References == * [1] http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WLM-2013-advertisement * [2] <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikilovesmonuments-europanostra-ad.…> * [3] <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_Europa_Nostra_advertisement_201…> -- Tomasz

Italian lists
by Yaroslav M. Blanter 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Dear All, I need some help and I think this list would be the easiest way to get it. I will spend the whole month of May in Italy. I will be based in Pisa and probably will have time to travel around as well. I will take my camera and, in principle, I could easily take photos of some cultural heritage monuments. However, I have difficulties locating lists of monuments and understanding which pictures are already available. The only list of lists for Italy I was able to find is http://www.wikilovesmonuments.it/monumenti/lista-monumenti/ , and for instance for Toscana I get http://www.wikilovesmonuments.it/monumenti/lista-monumenti/Toscana/ . This list is short (for instance, it does not include a single monument from Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca or San Gimignano), not illustrated and not editable. I remember there were some problems with Italian lists (like the government objected to their publication or smth). Could someone pls update me on the situation and advise where I could find a more complete monument list (say for Toscana), and, ideally, whether there is an easy way to compile a list which only shows monuments without a single image on Commons. Thanks in advance Cheers Yaroslav

7 Most Endangered monuments in Europe
by Maarten Dammers 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi everyone, Europa Nostra published a list of 14 most endangered monuments in Europe. From these they will select the 7 most endangered ones. You can find it at http://www.europanostra.org/7-most-endangered/ . Maybe fun to write some articles about these? They might be willing to include links to the articles if we have these available.

Lua loves monuments
by Vicenç Riullop 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

This is quite technical but I think it worth mentioning. I tried a new version of Template:Coord based on Lua [1]. A heavy list with 230 monuments and coodinates now is served in 19 seconds instead for 25 sec. according with commented information included by MediaWiki in source pages. This time depends on many factors, but it is significant as I checked it on different pages just before and after updating the row template, and reduction time is quite constant. A list of 100 monuments is served in 4 seconds instead of 8 sec. Futhermore, it has reduced the number of expansion templates and the template inclusion limit now is higher allowing around 350 monuments. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Coordinates Vicenç
