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

Opensourcing the Jury Tool?
by ecemaml ＠ es.wikipedia 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi all, >From WM-ES (and I guess that from many other chapters) we'd like to customize the tool and include new options and workflows. I assume that Ilya could develop them also but the open source model is definitelly more flexible and creates much more synergies that a purely closed model. Is that possible to open source the code and let other chapters to enhance and customize the tool. Enhancements could be added to the main branch and thus the result would be even better. Opinions?

Non-monuments winning?
by Lodewijk 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi all, I wonder, in some of the international nominees (beautiful pictures again btw, congratulations), there are some where there is no identified monument available. For example, there is a photo of the Nile river <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nile_River_in_Aswan.jpg> without any identified monument, and in Brazil a photo of the Army headquarters <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monumento_a_Duque_de_Caxias.jpg> without identified monument. I have my doubts about such photos - while they are of good quality, if there is no identified monument, I wonder if they should be disqualified for the international prizes. I would value your thoughts on this. Maybe it doesn't come up at all (I don't know how high up they will end), maybe it does. Best, Lodewijk

Per-monument statistics?
by Ynhockey 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hi all, I remember that in 2012 there was a tool that showed how much each monument was photographed and other very important statistics about WLM. I believe it was developed by Platonides, but don't remember for sure. Does anyone use such a tool recently, or know how to get such statistics? Thanks, —Yan.

Old dump of the bot database?
by Sylvain Machefert 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hello all, we have a price in France for newly illustrated monuments but unfortunately we have forgotten to make a copy of the database dump before the competition starts this year. And as the monument database dump ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Sql ) is overwritten every day we can't get old databases :( So is there any chance someone there has kept a copy of the database dump from 31st August? Thanks, Sylvain

Important: deadlines
by Lodewijk 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi all, This is an important announcement (and/or reminder) about the international jury process. Like every year, there is a jury with a mix of Photography, Heritage and Wikimedian backgrounds that will decide what image will win the international finale. I will announce the jury members on the WLM website once the last jury members are confirmed. Each national competition gets to nominate up to 10 images - usually these are your top-10 images. Please send me a list of 10 URL's to the file description pages of the images that are nominated for the international finale with at least one member of your national jury in cc. They do not have to be in order. We will keep that list secret until you announce them publicly. If you announced your winners publicly, please add your 10 nominees on this page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015_winners We will however include all pictures that win internationally in our jury report (usually the top-25 is published), which will be published by the beginning of december. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. Lodewijk (coordinator of the international jury process this year)

Fwd: Eurostat is looking into Wikimedia pageviews
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

FYI (+ possibly handy links). -------- Messaggio inoltrato -------- Oggetto: Re: [Analytics] Using wikimedia pagehits and other data for creating statistics on exposure to culture Data: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 12:21:48 +0200 Dear Albrecht, as an avid Eurostat consumer let me congratulate you for a very interesting project, which will be of great interest not only to the general population but also to direct consumers of Eurostat such as * Europeana, * the European Commission (for policy implications), * EU governments (some of which supported Wiki Loves Monuments, e.g. for Pompei), * the Council of Europe (for their support for Wiki Loves Monuments). Dan already pointed out what will be the best route for your to pursue in the future, but let me point out what data and tools people have needed and made available so far: * for recent raw data, https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pagecounts-all-sites ; * global usage of World Heritage Sites images: 190k usages for 24k images (via http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=World+Heri… ); * pageviews in a wiki (e.g. English Wikipedia) for all articles classified as world heritage sites on Wikidata: says ~3 M/month for ~800 articles (via WDQ claim[1435:9259] in Listeria > PagePile > TreeViews https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/treeviews/?q=%7B%22pagepile%22%3A%22962… ); * for Europeana, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Europeana/Stats ; * for WLM images accesses in all languages, e.g. http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama2/#gid=60&month=201508 ; * for multilingual pageviews of an individual topic, e.g. https://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/langviews/index.php?url=http://en.wikipedia.o… . Federico Albrecht.Wirthmann(a)ec.europa.eu, 06/10/2015 11:35: > Dear Wikimedia Analytics team, > My name is Albrecht Wirthmann. I am working in a task team Big Data at > Eurostat. This is the European statistical office, which makes part of > the European Commission. The task team is exploring new data sources > for their feasibility of producing official statistics.

Jury tool: do you have a plan?
by Ilario Valdelli 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Dear all, the end of Wiki Loves Monuments is closer. David sent an email about the impossibility to improve the old jury tool. May you be so kind to inform if you have already a plan for the jury tool? Do you have already one?
