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

ScalaWiki data processing toolbox
by Ilya Korniyko 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Dear all, I have submitted a grant proposal on ScalaWiki data processing toolbox [1], and I am expecting feedback from you, as most of my Wikimedia work relates to supporting WLE/WLM projects, various article contests etc. I think that we need some kind of a universal toolbox to define and execute processing of Wikipedia related data, as getting the right data takes a lot of time and efforts, requires specific skills. The process needs to be more universal and relatively easier. In a nutshell: there is a lot of data out there. And I think it needs to be accessible for everyone, we do not need to create specific tool every time there is a new question or data to look for. Thank you for your support.

Possible 2 page article
by Lodewijk 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hey folks, it may be possible to publish a 2 page article in Europa Nostra, but the deadline would be short. Is there anything you'd like to share in such an article? I imagine a few scenarios: - 1. Make a piece about WLM in the past years - 2. Make a piece about WLM in 2015, with a short outlook for 2016. I'm not sure if this would give the best material - 3. Make a piece showcasing 3-5 national competitions in the wider European region (Council of Europe - which includes Russia etc) and making it a little more about the national stories. I personally am a bit in favour of the third, which could let us tell a story about national competitions, how volunteers play a role etc. But I would need your help! Who would be able to help write a piece? What would be your favourite approach? Best, Lodewijk

wanted: European heritage enthusiasts with a feel for social media
by Lodewijk 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi everyone! Our partner Europa Nostra is looking for volunteers for their social media network, who would like to work on promoting cultural heritage in their country through social media. I can imagine that there are some potential enthusiasts in our Wiki Loves Monuments circles :) Please find below the call for volunteers by Wolter Braamhorst at Europa Nostra with more details. Best, Lodewijk ---- Dear all, Europa Nostra is initiating a new participatory programme, called Social Media Volunteers for Heritage. Our partner for this programme is European Heritage Volunteers. The programme is part of our long term project 'Mainstreaming Heritage' which is supported under the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. We hope this project is of interest to you and your network. I would appreciate it highly if you could inform colleagues and friends about this new initiative and I hope many of them will be tempted to get involved. Let me first tell you more about what we planning to do. Social Media Volunteers for Heritage are volunteers who work digitally to further the cause and the message of the European heritage world through a variety of social media. These volunteers publish – remotely from their own location – stories, photos and videos on cultural heritage issues in their own country and follow the media of their colleagues in other countries as well as of Europa Nostra and European Heritage Volunteers. The Social Media Volunteers for Heritage network will not strictly be an Europa Nostra activity, it will exist outside of our web environment. What are we looking for? In our opinion, civil society social media volunteers should be marathon runners, in it for the long run with a positive message, geared towards solutions and opportunities, tailored to the intended audiences. We need multi-taskers who look at subjects objectively, who want to tell and share stories, who are enthusiastic about the heritage in their own country and across Europe. We are looking to create a reliable European network of volunteers, at least one in each European country, to be the ears and eyes of Europe's heritage community. A kick-off meeting will be held in Weimar, Germany at the end of August with the selected candidates. The Social Media Volunteers for Heritage will be selected by Europa Nosta and European Heritage Volunteers on the basis of an on-line application form, which you can find *HERE <https://form.jotformeu.com/60342977749368>* All the best, Wolter Braamhorst Social Media Volunteers for Heritage Project

Fwd: Biggest donation of photos in Italy - Paolo Monti (BEIC)
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

Forwarding on request. Nemo-BEIC -------- Messaggio inoltrato -------- Oggetto: [cultural-partners] Biggest donation of photos in Italy - Paolo Monti (BEIC) Data: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 16:26:20 +0200 Mittente: marcok Hi to all, I’m the Wikipedian in residence at the digital library of Fondazione BEIC, Milan, Italy. In the last days we at BEIC are uploading almost the entire photo archive of a notable Italian photographer, Paolo Monti, counting 15.000 images. The whole archive was acquired by Fondazione BEIC in 2008. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Paolo_Monti For what I know, this is the biggest donation of images in one shot ever made in Italy. It’s also the first time that a digital archive from a famous photographer is almost completely uploaded into Commons. This notable result was possible thanks to the long-lasting collaboration between BEIC and Wikimedia Italia, started in 2014, and also thanks to the technical assistance of Federico Leva aka Nemo, the previous WiR at BEIC, now GLAM specialist at Wikimedia Italia. The photos of the Paolo Monti archive represent a variety of subjects (art, events, architecture, people, portraits, nature, artistic nudes, experimental) and were shot since 1950s to 1980s. Many of them are B/W, but there are also many fascinating colourful artistic/experimental pictures. We are now beginning to work on: * fixing categories (often translating the basic original italian keywords into english Commons categories) and providing a more detailed categorization * inserting useful images into Wikipedia articles (in italian, english and other languages) * selecting the best photos to candidate them as "featured pictures” in Wikimedia Commons (only those with 2 Megapixel or more). Please help us, this is a huge work! If you have any other ideas on how the images may be used, let us know! Thank you, Marco Chemello Wikipedian in residence, Fondazione BEIC, Milan (also Wikipedian in residence at the Science Museum, Milan) See: http://www.beic.it/en/articles/digital-library https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:BEIC https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/BEIC (main project page) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BEIC http://www.beic.it/en/node/1969 (Fondo Paolo Monti - in Italian) _______________________________________________ Cultural-Partners mailing list Cultural-Partners(a)wikimedia.ch https://intern.wikimedia.ch/lists/listinfo/cultural-partners Please treat emails sent to this list as confidential.Ask senders for permission before forwarding emails off-list.

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? Best regards // M.A. -- Miguel-Ángel Monjas Discasto (formerly ecemaml) at Wikimedia projects: eswiki <https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Discasto>, cawiki <https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Discasto>, commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Discasto>, wikidata <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Discasto>, meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Discasto>...
