Hello everyone!
I've been working on making Campaign pages more useful over the last
few days. Details about the system are at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yuvipanda/Campaigns_namespace_proposal,
but even better - you can see a live demo!
http://blue-dragon.wmflabs.org/wiki/Campaign:show-off-campaigns
The idea being that you can pass on links to the Campaign page itself
and people can upload from there. They can also see a description, and
other images that have been uploaded (it currently shows the last 50
images). This is far more useful than the current version,
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-nl, which is just a
JSON structure.
Suggestions / Comments for improving the feature are welcome! While
initially I expected this to take longer to finish, things moved much
faster than expected and the patch is very close to being merged now!
I'll try to get this deployed next week.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
despite all the difficulties that we have encountered in the past two years
(and this year), we are preparing this year's competition in Russia. For
long time I did not report it openly, because the fact of announcement is
an invitation to criticism, and it can kill our little team, so please
support us with a few words :)

Hi all!
I know it is not the most important issue now, but I would like to know:
was there any consensus in the past about the name of the competition?
Should we prefer the "Wiki Loves Monuments" form to "Wiki loves monuments"
or "wiki loves monuments"?
Thanks!
Best,
Samat

maker that was granted a half-billion-dollar federal loan and on Friday
dismissed about 75 percent of its remaining workforce -- is purportedly
facing a lawsuit from the same firm that sued the government-funded Solyndra
company.Fisker laid off 160 of its roughly 210 employees Friday morning
from its Anaheim, Calif., location, according to Automotive News.Employees
told the publication they were given no severance pay besides compensation
for unused vacation days.According to the class action suit filed by Outten
& Golden, in a California district court, Fisker failed to notify the
employees 60 days in advance, violating the federal U.S. Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification Act and a similar state WARN Act.Outten & Golden
won a $3.5 million settlement in a similar case against Solyndra, according
to Reuters. The solar-panel maker received $535 million in loan guarantees
from the Obama administration before falling into bankruptcy in 2011.A source
told the news agency that Fisker will retain about 53 senior managers
and executives to primarily help sell off company assets.Fisker has received
$193 million of a $529 million Energy Department loan, mostly for work
on its luxury Karma vehicle that sells for about $100,000.

Hi,
Now there are 2 people only willing to organize in Japan.
I made a list on commons, but no templates.
I'm making lists with template from the source and APIs you showed.

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.

Hello All,
We have changed our status from probably participating to
participating. Our list is in a reasonable shape and we are trying
hard to find juries and prizes. At this moment, none has confirmed to
be our jury or sponsor yet! All are welcome to help with these.
We would like the site: th.wikilovesmonuments.org to redirect to
Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in Thailand/th. A preliminary
discussion with Lodewijk and Platonides in June concluded this matter
as "easy to do, and probably non-controversial" but we haven't found a
person with an authority/ability to do that yet. I would greatly
appreciate if anyone can direct me to the right person or pass this
message to him.
Many thanks,
-Taweethaも
It seems likely that in the UK we will need to do pre-filtering of the entries as the competition goes on. Is there any way to get the upload wizard to add each image to a custom daily category on Commons, such as [[Category:WLM-UK 2013 09-01]], and so on, throughout the contest?
If not, what would be the quickest way to populate such a daily category manually?
