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.

Hey folks,
Tomorrow I'll be posting a blog post about the wiki loves monuments
exhibition at Wikimania, and I thought this might be a nice opportunity to
ask if anyone else would like to share a story at the international blog.
If you'd like to do this, please get in touch with someone from the
international team or me. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'll just be
bold in accepting stories :)
Try to make it interesting to the world, make it visual etc. For example,
I'd love to see a story about the Belgian freedom of panorama as soon as
that becomes effective - we could talk a little on how also more recent
Belgian buildings can now be photographed. But I can imagine more countries
wanting to share their successes, or what they're planning this year? Or
perhaps a few monuments under threat?
Anyway, be creative, and get in touch. If you doubt if your topic is good
for the blog, just email this list.
Best,
Lodewijk
Hello WLM enthusiasts!

any time. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid
2. Project & Event Grants (PEG) for budgets over 2,000 USD. *Applications
due by June 30th. *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG
Open call for the new Project Grants program launches July 1st
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining_WMF_grants/Imple…>,
with grants awarded in October. This will be too late for this year's WLM

Dear all
Today I have meet Kacie to know something about the grants changes and the
impact on wiki loves monuments.
The biggest point is that the grants will change after the 30th June. The
rapid grant (until 2'000 dollars) is at the moment the most feasible
solution but probably insufficient for some communities.
Some questions come up, so Kacie Harold is really so kind to have a session
to solve questions about grants for local wiki loves monuments organizers.
She will be available in the afternoon in Pietro Pensa square (in front of
ex museum hosting now community village).
Please come there tomorrow and bring with you your questions.
Use this opportunity to prepare a great grant!
Hi all!
As many of you may be aware, Wikimedia Sweden is working on getting the
monument data to Wikidata. At the hackathon
<https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon/Program>before
Wikimania, we would like to do an import sprint, where you as experts on
your local heritage can help them out to get the monument lists imported!
Please do indicate your interest both here and on Phabricator:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137457
The room will be announced later, but it will take place either way in
Esino Lario, at the primary school on Wednesday 22 June.
Both coders and wikidata wizards who would like to help with the import, as
people who know their heritage lists well, and want to help us out
understand the data better are very welcome!
If you have any questions, just shoot!
Best,
Lodewijk
Hi all,
When dies the wiki loves all monuments?
In other words, how do we get all monuments in Wikipedia (etc)?
This question applies to both the photos as the articles (including lists),
that's our challenge.
But before we can get there, we need to know from which countries and areas
in the world we already have all monuments in lists on Wikipedia.
Please check if your country/area is already added here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Lists_of_monuments
Please also check for dependencies, territories, other areas, etc!
(Those are added at the continent page where they are situated.)
Ready with your country?
Help us by checking other countries too. Especially those without a local
affiliation.
Thanks all!
Romaine

Hi,

Here is screenlist with short instructions:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WLX_Jury_Tool/AdminUI
I just added Ilario, Mohammed, Alexander and Gnangarra as admins of their
countries, and the tool should have sent you an email (it says you are
juries, so don't be confused, at least you see what email jurors will get.
You can also can edit this template for you county i the Admin UI).
Please ask to be added as admin for other countries or ask questions.
Regards,
Ilya
