As I know OpenStreetMap use Microsoft Bing satellite maps to create free
map. I am not sure about all agreements between MS and OSM but maybe we
could use Microsoft Bing in same way as OSM are doing.
We can think about similar tool but for WLM lists on Wikidata in the
time when Wikidata accept list-function.
Regards!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" OSM has traditionally
been very firm that taking coordinates directly from Google Maps is not
valid for their license, but I'm not sure how well their license maps to
ours in this case. A coordinate is basically the only piece of
information they need, so they'd be copying all the information, whereas
for us it's a much smaller detail in an overall work, so it's more like
checking a single entry in a reference book. I think we're okay :-)
(Besides, in most cases we'd need the satellite view to be sure if the
building isn't specifically mapped already...) A. On 14 September 2013

> Hi, that's a great idea. In Italy we have kinda the same problem, but we are currently discussing about the "legality" of taking coordinates from Google Maps. We have several members which are from Open Street Maps and they say that is is *illegal* (IANAL, so don't discuss with me :-). Maybe if your tool could take the coordinates from OSM we could solve every problem. Aubrey On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 5:28 AM, Naveen Francis <naveenpf(a)wikimedia.in>wrote: Good tool !!!!

Hi everyone,
Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 has started in Israel about 11 hours ago. So far
11 images have been uploaded.
Wish us luck!

Hello, folks.
I have noticed that all domain names with "wikilm" are available
(excepting wikilm.ax, wikilm.coop, wikilm.dz, wikilm.es, wikilm.jp,
wikilm.lu, wikilm.mx, wikilm.my, wikilm.name, wikilm.no, wikilm.nz,
wikilm.org.es, wikilm.pl and wikilm.uk, some of them used by Wikimedia
chapters).
Do you think we should buy, for example, (www.)wikilm.com and
(www.)wikilm.org?

For some reason it looks as though the Android app occasionally uploads
images and tags them as WLM 2012.
I spotted this on one of my own earlier uploads and found that roughly 75
images have been added to "Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012"
since the start of the competition (not counting any which have since been
corrected).For an example image see [1].
Anyone has any idea why this is happening?

Dear sir/Madam,
I am from the marketing Team in Nokia Saudi Arabia . we have seen your initiatives of documenting the world's monuments and we realized that Saudi Arabia is not there . We would like to see how can we help bring Saudi to the Monuments Map in your competition, and how can we do this together with you guys ?
We like to see how can we run this locally in KSA with Wikipedia ?
Looking to hear from you guys

Hi folks!
This year our sponsor Carl Zeiss will support our "Audience Award", a
special prize for the photo who receive more votes from October 1st to
10th. I want to know if another country is giving a similar prize. If not,
you have a new idea :)
Best regards.

Hi all,
should we change the Central Notice message now?? Its been 10 days, and I
think change in the message might gain some more eye balls! We can now say
something like: "Participate in the world's largest photo-contest and help
Wikipedia." This message was used last year too.
Any other other suggestion or rephrasing will also help!
Regards,
Karthik Nadar.
