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

[WLM announce] [important] how to submit your nominees for the international finale
by effe iets anders 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

[This email contains important information on how you can submit the 10 nominees of your country to the international finale and the deadlines. Please forward this to your coordinators if need be.] Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators, Thank you for an amazing job in the past weeks and months in organizing what seems to have been yet again an amazing competition in more than 40 countries! It's great to see all the beautiful images that have been submitted. As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is based on a federalized model: there's a national competition in each country, with a national organizing team, a national jury and national winners. The national jury determines up to (maximum) 10 images that will be submitted to the international finale. These ten images should be *submitted via email* to the international jury coordinator *before the deadline: effeietsanders AT gmail DOT com*. Unless you have agreed a different deadline with Lily (in cc), this deadline is 31 October 2016, 23:59 UTC. But if you like me, please send them at least a few days before that time. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale. When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into account: * Submit no more than ten images per (national) competition. It is ok to submit less images, for example if you don't find enough images of high quality. * Submit the images to: effeietsanders AT gmail DOT com, and include in the CC at least one (additional) jury member besides yourself. Please also include Lily in the cc. * If the results are still not public (if you plan to announce them later publicly), please add the planned announcement date. Please note that we will announce the international winners in December, and will not wait for national announcements. * Submit for each image: URL, File name on Wikimedia Commons and Author username * Check basic information about the images. It is NOT possible to replace finalists after the deadline! ** that the author has activated their email function on Wikimedia Commons. If we cannot email the user there, they may automatically forfeit any prize. You can help them by posting a message on their talkpage, or tracking them down through social media. ** that the monument on the image is identified (preferrably also described in English) ** that the image is freely licensed If you want, there are opportunities to share your national winners also on the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us about this - more information about this soon. Thanks a lot for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received, this will result in a pool of some 350-430 images for the international jury to consider. The international jury is described on this page <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/jury/>. The jury will first rate all images with 1-5 stars, from which a top-40/50 will be considered. Then, the jurors will have the opportunity to remove images from the selection, which they consider unfit. Finally, they are asked to rank their top-20 images, and share their reasoning. We will create a jury report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in the first two weeks of December (depending on the swiftness of jury report creation and media opportunities). We're looking forward to the judging process!

Searching for uploads
by Rebecca O'Neill 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi all, We've just realised that some of the upload links on our Irish WLM website are broken, and we're not sure how long they have been like that. Is there any way to search Wiki Commons for content uploaded from Ireland over the past 3 weeks, to see if there are any users that we should contact about photographs that should be included in WLM? Thanks!

the top 10 photos submission deadline extended
by Lily 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hi all, If you are organizing WLM in your country, please be aware that we've just extended the top 10 photo submission deadline to the international team by 6 days to *2016-10-31 (at midnight UTC)* for all participating countries. This is the first year we tried the earlier deadline, and we have just received too many requests for extensions, and extending the deadline for many but not for everyone doesn't seem fair. ;) Please enjoy the extra few days, but do make sure you don't miss the new deadline. You should be aware that if you submit the top 10 photos after 2016-10-31 at midnight UTC, we in the international team cannot guarantee that we can accept your photos as part of the international contest. Please don't miss that deadline. :) Thanks, Leila -- User: LilyOfTheWest

Precise time of WLM ending
by Vira Motorko 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi all, I have a question, and wrote it on Romaine's talk page but I'd like to point it to you as well. Due to edit in template [1] contest ended for Ukraine on 23:58 on September 30th. Uploaders tell us that there are pictures uploaded at 23:59 that did not get wlm-templates and stuff, thus are not counted. There should be not many of such files and we will cope with them localy in wlm-ua. But I thought that you should know about this tricky thing.

WLM 2016 contest end times
by Lily 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi all, As you know, WLM 2016 has now ended in the majority of the participating countries. You can have a glance at this year's contest so far in wikiloves <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2016> or wlm-stats <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlm-stats/>. Just keep in mind that the contest is not over in all countries, it will continue in Albania, Bulgaria, Iran, Israel, and Kosovo for anywhere between 5 days to 30 days from today. Please expect more photos and more uploaders to join this year's contest. :) To all of you who have organized and/or participated in this year's contest so far (especially to those of you who have participated for the first time), congratulations! :) We have achieved a lot together, some easily measurable, and some probably very hard to measure, but many of it valuable. :) We in the international team will start processing the data once all the contests are over (some time in early November) and will share our observations with you some time after that. And while we're at it, if there are interesting angles you'd like to suggest that we look into when doing the data analysis, please add them to this task <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146545> as comments. We will review them and add them to the task description if possible. Best, Leila -- User: LilyOfTheWest
