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

Upgrade to UploadCampaigns
by Yuvi Panda 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hello! As part of upcoming work to be done to support use of UploadCampaigns from Mobile, I've spent time rewriting the underlying infrastructure for UploadCampaigns. This has no changes for people who use UploadWizard to just ''upload'' images, but plenty of changes for people who administer and maintain campaigns. The most important changes are: * Campaigns are maintained by creating and modifying pages in a new Campaign: namespace. Special:UploadCampaign and Special:UploadCampaigns have been removed. * Pages in the Campaign: namespace have all the ''features'' of normal pages, and so have page history (solving [[bugzilla:30645]]), a talk page, can be watched/moved/deleted/undeleted, etc. * Full wikitext support in most fields - header/thanks labels (fixing [[bugzilla:39910]]) and in the field labels (solving [[bugzilla:39911]]). This should make customizations and internationalization simpler. * Arbitrary number of custom fields where the user can enter text while uploading, and such text is included in the uploaded image's description, are now supported (previously you were restricted to two fields) * As a negative, the GUI interface for configuring campaigns is now gone (temporarily). Currently the Campaign configuration is stored as [[:en:JSON|JSON]], which is edited by hand. There exists minimal validation so that corrupt data is not saved. A point and click interface would eventually be added at some point in the future. [[mw:Extension:UploadWizard/Campaigns|Documentation]] for the current JSON format exists. This change is currently live on the [http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ commonsbeta] site, and can be tested there. This is on schedule to be rolled out to Commons on Monday, July 22 - unless large unforeseen bugs arise. Thanks to MarkTraceur, Odder and Brion for their help in getting this done! Special note for WLM: Since WLM is the biggest (almost only) user of campaigns right now, I'll be spending time to make sure that all the WLM campaigns work without issue. -- Yuvi Panda T Mobile Team, Wikimedia Foundation http://yuvi.in/blog

Europeana Loves Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 edition
by Àlex Hinojo 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hi all, as some of you may know, I'm now also collaborating with Europeana in their Wiki-related projects. I have a couple of good announcements to share with you: 1) Again this year, Europeana will be an official partner of Wiki Loves Monuments and will sponsor the main prize, as did last year. 2) Beside of sponsoring main prize, We’ll have a special category within the contest entitled ‘World War I Monuments and Memorials'. This category is understood in an inclusive way (all monuments/memorials related to WWI in participating countries) This category proposal is related to another ongoing Europeana project, Europeana 1914-1918 [1] designed for collecting memorabilia in digital form from related to WW1. Previous editions of the WLM contest also had an special Europeana category (GLAM for 2012 [2] and Art Nouveau for 2011 [3]). The contest and jury systems for this particular category will be the same one than used on previous years, following our KISS principles :) Still not sure about it but probably will manage an online exhibit like the one Europeana did for Art Nouveau in 2011 [3] We are still drafting all so will be glad to read your comments and questions on this. Best, Àlex Hinojo @kippelboy [1] www.europeana1914-1918.eu [2] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GLAM_images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monu… [3] http://exhibitions.europeana.eu/exhibits/show/wiki-loves-art-nouveau

One Jury Tool to Rule them All
by David Narvaez 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I was talking with Lodewikj about the idea of having a configurable Jury Tool that would suit the need of most of the participating countries. While it may seem early to talk about the Jury Tool for countries that are participating for the first time, the countries that are already experienced in the contest can give valuable input about what features should this tool have. We are already collecting information in this link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/JuryTool and I would like to get in touch with people that developed jury tools for previous contests so that we can start a discussion about features.

UK competition rules and awards
by Michael Maggs 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Hi all As this is the first time that the UK has participated in the competition, we’re having to draft our national rules and list of awards from scratch. Our current thoughts are set out at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the_… and I’d really appreciate any feedback from those of you who have previous experience and can perhaps point out any potential pitfalls in our draft. Many thanks Michael

WLM International contest prizes
by Karthik Nadar 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Dear monument clickers, the WLM international team has drafted prizes for the international and will be happy to re- work if anyone has any suggestions! So far, we have been buying vouchers for the Prize winners which didn’t work well previous year as the contest went global. We had to take help from Chapters and Individuals to buy vouchers for the winners, and then reimburse them from the international budget. That was very time consuming at most of the ends. We would welcome if you got any suggestions. If you would agree that giving out vouchers is the best process and we should continue that, do also let us know that. The (draft) prizes for the 2013 contest will be as follows: Rank Prizes (probably in the form of vouchers) Remarks 1st Prize Wikimania (London) ~ 2.000,00 Euros (estimation) 2nd Prize 500 Euros 3rd Prize 400 Euros 4th Prize 300 Euros 5th Prize 200 Euros 6th Prize 100 Euros 7th Prize 100 Euros 8th Prize 50 Euros 9th Prize 50 Euros 10th Prize 50 Euros 11th Prize 50 Euros New entry^ 12th Prize 50 Euros New entry^ 13th Prize 50 Euros New entry^ 14th Prize 50 Euros New entry^ 15th Prize 50 Euros New entry^ TOTAL 3.000,00 Euros At 4.000,00, the Prize budget is almost cool. * Estimation is from a Asian country, and that includes accommodation charges. ^ New entry means that the prizes was not awarded previous year. The WLM international team felt that, as we grow, the number of prizes we shall also grow up! Regards, Karthik Nadar. On behalf of WLM international team.
