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.

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?
Best regards

I see. this part I wasn't sure of. thanks.
We did some experiments with IE and it has been working consistently across
ISPs so far, in situations that Chrome and Safari did not. I'll see if we
can find more information from the ISPs. I'll update here if I learn more.
Thank you everyone for your comments. :-)

Hi everyone,
Some users from inside Iran have experienced problems uploading pictures
using UploadWizard. We'd like to understand if this can be a problem on the
server end and/or if this is something you've had experience with in the
past?
Here is what we have learned so far:
1) At some hours of the day the uploading works just fine, at some hours it
doesn't (and we can't figure out regularities in the hour patterns). The
tests are done using the same ISP, OS, and browser for consistency.
2) On Chrome from iOS users see this error: http://imgur.com/48kwWn2
3) When the user uses VPN, it works (but uploading with VPN is slow and
they prefer not to do it.)
Any hint is appreciated.

Hi all,
We have launched a new guide on how to implement a Wikimedia program: Photo
Contests and Events toolkit is now live! This is a work in progress, and we
look forward to community members actively contributing to what is outlined
in the toolkit. As I frequently see this list is a great hub for exchanging
knowledge around common challenges and struggles running Wiki Loves
Monuments, I wanted to share this with you all. Please share more broadly
to other lists that you think might benefit, or would be a good platform to
find other contributors.
Some of the gaps are in the Plan subpage, on How to choose the best program
for your community, and planning award ceremonies and follow up events. On
the Run tab, there is a gap on how to help photographers improve their
skills. Beyond these, all sections can be expanded and edited, and we look
forward to community members contributing what they know!
Explore (and contribute to) this step-by-step guide to run your first
event, find ideas to remix popular photo competitions, and locate useful
bots and templates to make the most out of your photo event. The new
toolkit has an improved design, optimized for mobile, that also shares
learning patterns with less clicks involved. Find experienced program
leaders on the Connect tab [1], and create a profile to offer your
expertise to others. We want to thank all the community members who offered
their knowledge to create this new toolkit, and we look forward to have
this tool expanded by wikimedians all over the world.
As we have heard the feedback from community members, this tool will be
translated soon.
Looking forward to your edits!
Best,

Hi all,
Like every year, we need to put together a good jury for Wiki Loves
Monuments 2015. It is a complicated and delicate process to come to a
balanced jury, and I would like to outline the criteria here, and to ask
for your input. I have agreed to take the lead on this process - but would
definitely welcome your input, and help.
As in the past years, I think it is important to aim once again for a jury
that as a whole is neutral and balanced in many ways. This means ideally:
* A mix of photography experts, heritage experts and Wikimedia experts
(aiming at a total size of 7)
* Geographically balanced so that no two jury members come from the same
country.
* Balance in many other ways imaginable (while at the same time, one can
never assure a balance in all aspects)
* The international jury members do not serve on a national jury for WLM
At the same time, there are some practical considerations:
* Jury members must be able to write and read English
* They must have the time to commit to judge 200-400 photos in two or three
rounds over a period of 3 weeks
* While jury members can participate in a local competition, their photos
cannot participate in the international finale
* Living/working in a country that participates in the competition will not
by default exclude someone from serving on the jury
* It would be helpful if the juror would be willing to share their real
name for the jury report.
Do you know someone who would make a good juror, please contact me
privately with the suggestion. At least let me know who the juror is, how I
could contact him/her and why they would make a good jury member (and
whether you have reason to believe they would accept the nomination, if
asked).
I will do my best to put together once again a qualified and diverse jury,
with your help!
Aside from that, I could use some help in 1) setting up the jury tool for
the international jury and 2) writing/layouting the jury report after the
whole process is finished.
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Lodewijk
As the United Kingdom doesn't seem to be in this year, this I have time to
help others. If any team needs help with categorising images feel free to
email me off list. I can also do a bit of the filtering out of low
quality/off topic images
