Brushing up the Wikipedia pages for WLM
by Jane Darnell 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi everyone, Now is the time to work on lists, but it is also the time to recruit volunteers to help you out. To help recruit people, we really need to revisit the places where we explain what WLM is and where volunteers can sign up. The portal pages per country are here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Partici… I just created the WLM 2013 page for the Netherlands on Commons and also just updated the English Wikipedia page for WLM here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments This page should be in all participating Wikipedias - since WLM won the Guiness Book of World records, it's notable enough for a Wikipedia page. I can only see it in 15 languages now, so if your Wikipedia project doesn't have one, please consider translating the main lead and linking to your local WLM website. Jane

Introduction and questions about organizing the event in my country/town
by Federico Moreira 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hi, My name is Federico [0] and I want to organize the event at least in Montevideo, Uruguay. We saw the initiative with some friends a couple of months ago and decided that it will be a great idea if we can participate. We manage a flickr group [1] that encourages local people to go out and take photograps, we travel around the country and organize photography events. I read the timeline [2] and I'm aware that we should have started earlier, anyway I decided to give it a try. I don't know if I should wait for someone to confirm, so let me know. Thanks, Federico [0] - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Croquetadearroz [1] - http://www.flickr.com/groups/fotosyfotografosuruguay/ [2] - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Timeline

The strange behavior of uploadwizard
by Ilario Valdelli 16 May '13

16 May '13

Dear all, I am checking and collecting some data of WLM 2012 and I have found some strange behavior. Take this example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dr3izehn and this photo: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schloss_ChillonIMG_1668.jpg Even if the user uploaded photos only during WLM's contest, only 2 photos have been included in the contest because only 2 of them have the template of WLM. This is one case of some others of "inexperienced people" who used the normal "uploadwizard" instead of the "uploadwizard" of WLM, even if the WLM CH website addressed them to the correct uploadwizard. Regards -- Ilario Valdelli Wikimedia CH Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Association pour l’avancement des connaissances libre Associazione per il sostegno alla conoscenza libera Switzerland - 8008 Zürich Tel: +41764821371 http://www.wikimedia.ch

Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in the United Kingdom is ready to go!
by Michael Maggs 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi all For the very first time, the UK will be competing in the annual Wiki Loves Monuments competition in September. For the UK, this will be a community-led effort, with support from WMUK. A number of volunteers have already expressed interest in helping to organize the contest, but there is much to be done and many more volunteers are needed, both now and over the coming few months. If you would like to contribute towards making our first ever competition the great success we expect it to be, please visit http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the_… and leave your name there. Even if you are only able to offer us moral support, or want to take part as photographer in September, please leave your details anyway. You need not be based in the UK to help. Michael (MichaelMaggs on wiki)
