Armenia joining WLM2013!
by Vachagan Gratian 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Dear friends, I am happy to finally announce that Armenia is participating to WLM2013! We were until now trying to find the list of monuments. And we did. The state monument list that we are going to use includes 23.460 monuments. We are now working to transfer this list to Armenian Wikipedia in the form of wiki-pages. For instance you can see the list for one of the districts of Yerevan here <https://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D4%BF%D5%A5%D5%B6%D5%BF%D6%80%D5%B8%D5%B6_%D…>. Also, we are wandering if we should use the list of natural monuments as well (I didn't see any mention about natural monuments in our project page on Commons). Also we are preparing to launch the website www.wikilovesmonuments.am soon and we are looking for sponsors/partners. Because we are newcomers we will need your help and advices, especially when it comes translating the tools in Commons. Best regards, Vachagan Gratian

Dear all, Does this news change the plan for Wikilovesmonuments, Switzerland stil have't decide whether or not we will have a WLM2013, but having the possibility to use Wikidata instead of list in different wikipedia could influence a lot our choice.

About lists
by Erlan Vega 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hello everybody, I need help with the lists. I've been having some problems trying to gather the lists from the cultural institutions because of different reasons(lack of interest, no lists available, etc) I wonder if I can include any official list in case any of the organizations that have the lists can contact the international organizing team. Is it feasible, doable, posible?

WLM 2013 in the Czech Republic
by aktron＠centrum.cz 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Dear members of international Wiki Loves Monuments community. Wikimedia Czech Republic does want to participate this year in the contest. In 2012 we did - and we were successful - we finished on 7th place with more than 17k pictures. We would like to repeat this success this year - and perhaps reach even a better result. The reason why I would like to renew this whole idea is a fact, that I've looked at Commons earlier this day - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Partici… <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Partici…> and our country is still listed as "possibly participating". We already have negotiated partnership with cultural institutions (Silesian museum and National Heritage Institute). Since 2012 there are more than 300 lists of monuments for each district or town/city on Czech Wikipedia. We are ready.. (at least we hope so). Aktron Wikimedia Czech Republic vice-chairman.

Special GLAM prize
by Michael Maggs 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

I am working on some draft Competition rules for the UK (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the_…), and note from the main international website that there will be a special GLAM award this year. How will entries for that be submitted from the national contests? Can each country enter one photo for that award in addition to the usual 10? If so, we will probably need a special local award for that as well. Regards Michael
