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

CentralNotice deactivation & deadline submissions
by Romaine Wiki 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hello all! For those countries who end today, I will deactive the CentralNotice in the 30 minutes before the closing time. Reminder: The deadline of sending in the 10 winning photos is: *1 November*. You have the full month of October to have the jury decide which photos are the 10 winners. You can add your 10 winning photos yourself to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014_winners If your prize giving ceremony is later then 1 November, you can keep the 10 winners of your country a secret until you have hold the prize giving ceremony. But then you need to send the 10 winning photos to me (Romaine) with the date of when they will be published. I will keep track of all countries on: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014/Winners If there is any delay: inform me! If your country has a different contest period, we need to have your 10 winning photos at the latest on 15 November. Romaine

Warn people without mail address -> bot ?
by Sylvain Machefert 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hello all, I've found that some participants haven't yet entered their mail address in their preferences. It's required if french competitions rules (and I think in many others) so that we can contact the winners. Is there any botmaster there that could do something to leave an automatic message on participants talkpage to warn them ? Thanks

Be part of the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs!
by Anasuya Sengupta 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear Wikimedian friends and colleagues, tl;dr We have just launched our second round of voluntary reporting. This is the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs we've done so far as a movement, and all program leaders are invited to take part. :-) You can do so here: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD (or get in touch with the L&E team for support). As we did in the Fall of 2013, we invite community members leading and evaluating Wikimedia programs to share their data with the rest of the movement (i.e., Edit-a-thons, Editing Workshops, On-wiki Writing Contests, Photo Events, etc.). Last year’s data was collected and analysed in a series of reports that was the beginning of telling the Wikimedia story of impact: the incredible work of over 60 program leaders implementing 119 programs or projects in 30 countries across the world. This helped us start building a set of good and best practices for effective programs across our movement.[1] This year’s data drive will be critical to help us continue to do and learn better from each other. To best prepare, program leaders can review the reporting items [1] and start gathering that data you have filed away about your programs since the last reporting round. We are looking for data on programs completed any time from September 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. You can ask questions directly on the reporting form preview [2] or on our portal talk page [3]. If you are planning to report and may need support from us, do let us know so that we can help in any way needed. When ready, you will find the reporting collector at: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD We also welcome your data in different formats. For example, if you have already reported data elsewhere, we are happy to work with you to make the process as easy as possible. Message eval(a)wikimedia.org and we can work out the easiest way to include your data. We are expanding the number of programs covered in the reporting this year, and extend the reporting window longer for some new programs, GLAM, and Wiki Loves Monuments. See the schedule below for timelines for reporting for each program type. Data submission deadlines by program: Due by October 20th - Edit-a-thons/editing parties - Editing Workshops Due by November 3rd - On-wiki Writing Contests - Photo Events (Wiki Loves Earth, WikiExpeditions, WikiTakes, etc.) - Wikipedia Education Program Due by November 17th - Conferences - GLAM Content Donation - Hackathons - Wiki Loves Monuments (2013 and 2014) - Wikimedian in Residence Remember, reporting is voluntary but the more people do it, the better representation of programs we can make. This voluntary reporting allows us to come together and generate a bird’s eye view of programs [4]. We want to understand the impact of programs across different contexts, to examine both more broadly, and more deeply, what works best to meet our shared goals for Wikimedia and to, together, grow the awesome [5] in Wikimedia programs! On behalf of the Learning and Evaluation team, thank you for your time and support in this initiative. Warmly, Anasuya Resource links: [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Evaluation_reports/2013 [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CG-K8I1d9JPqyRRyHTIQ5x7fASQXcHZsEMKutdA… [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Evaluation [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evaluation_Report_(beta)_Poster_Wik… [5] http://www.nbp.org/nbp/images/book_photos/MAG-AWESOME.jpg -- *Anasuya SenguptaSenior Director of GrantmakingWikimedia Foundation* Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Banner for last day ?
by Sylvain Machefert 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Even if late, is there any plan this year to change the message for today to urge people to upload their pictures ? I don't know very well how centralnotice is working and if I assume that if I change the text on this page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014/Centra… it won't be updated in the central notice automatically. BTW, on french wikipedia, everybody gets a notice for WikiFranca, I've already warned Romaine on his talk page but if someone can fix it for today, it should be nice (I think it's related to the priority of these two campaigns) Thanks.

Volunteers needed to help pre-screen Wiki Loves Monuments UK entries
by Michael Maggs 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi all As you may know, the Wiki Loves Monuments competition closes tonight, and over the next couple of weeks we need to decide on the winning entries. In the UK, we expect to have around 7000 entries, from which we need to select the 500 best for formal judging by the jury. We’re seeking volunteers to help out with the pre-screening process, which we have to complete within the next two to three weeks. Can you help us, please? To help, you’ll need the following: 1. A minimum of few hours free between now and 14th October 2. A good level of ability to distinguish high-quality photography from lower quality (guidelines will be provided) 3. A fast broadband connection for downloading to your local computer several hundred high-resolution images (we’ll tell you how to do it) 4. Suitable software (eg Adobe Lightroom or some other photo-review software) for reviewing the images at full screen size. You don’t need to be based in the UK to help. If you can help, please get in touch now! Either reply directly to this posting, or send an email to Michael {{at}} maggs . name Many thanks Michael _______________ Michael Maggs WLM UK organiser

1 000 000
by Sylvain Machefert 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hello, we've been talking on french WLM mailing list after one member showed that this year was the year the 1 000 000th WLM picture had been uploaded. Taking categories from previous years and counting using csv file from this year (after having excluded irish pictures that were uploaded before 1st septembrer and are still in the csv file), I find that 1 000 000th pictures should be : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hel_Dworzec_Kolejowy.JPG We could argue about unchecked files, files that shouldn't be counted ... and there should be other millionth picture but if everybody agrees I think we should communicate about this specific file as the millionth one. Are there any organizers from Poland on this list that can confirm that this file is ok for their competition so that we can communicate ? Thanks !
