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

acute problems with the WLX jury tool during WLE-2016
by Alexander Tsirlin 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

We had very bad experience with using the WLX jury tool this year. I described it at length here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:WLX_Jury_Tool Several possible solutions are also mentioned on that page. I would like to hear your opinion about this situation. Could anyone help Ilya with developing and maintaining the jury tool, and make sure that it works at it should work? If we are planning to meet a very sharp deadline of October 25 for WLM photos, the jury tool should work absolutely smoothly, and user support has to be very prompt. Or it would be good to know already now that we can't rely on the jury tool, and alternative solutions should be searched for. Sincerely, Alexander

unique identifier for the monument
by Lodewijk 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

(starting a new thread, that way it's easier to find) the identifier of a monument usually originates from the 'authority' (the government, usually). There are some good examples here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016/Lists_… If that doesn't answer your question, please let us know!

Present and Future of Wiki Loves Monuments
by Philip Kopetzky 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hi there! At Wikimania Jean-Fred and I held a presentation about Wiki Loves Monuments, which you can now find on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Present_and_Future_of_Wiki_Loves_Mo… The etherpad for that session can be found at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wlm-future - I hope most of the questions were answered, but there still might be some topics that we want to discuss further, especially what role the WMF could or should play in Wiki Loves Monuments. There's also WMSE's presentation on WLM and preserving heritage sites on Commons in case you missed the very interesting presentation: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:How_You_and_the_Rest_of_the_Wikimed… If you have any further questions regarding the presentation please don't hesitate to contact me. Best, Philip

Publishing sources of WLM Judging/Jury Tools
by Ilya Korniyko 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

It seems that we have two Jury tools deployed on Tool labs <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3AJury_tools&type=r…> without source code published - German's and Israel's. It violates Tool labs policy (although not enforced and largely ignored) on having source code of the tool available. It also prevent others from trying to use, investigate or adapt useful ideas from that tools. As I published the source code my tool <https://github.com/intracer/wlxjury> I finally have a right and would like to ask to publish sources of two other tools :). There was also Brazil's tool, but it's not used recently and the it's source code was published somewhere.

Guinness World Record?
by Lodewijk 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hey folks, A few years ago, we managed to set the world record for the largest photography competition in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. We still hold this record with our 2012 competition <http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-compe…> . I was thinking, as a little bonus on WLM 2016, would it be nice to try and break another record? The competition will be hard to break if I look at our previous submissions, but there is another record that might be interesting: the largest digital photo exhibition <http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/29046-largest-digital-pho…>. The record currently stands at 115,117 and seems breakable. Based on what I read, this might be a bunch of LED screens all displaying a slide show of photos at a publicly accessible place. We could do this during some kind of event, and simply show all WLM submissions from the international competition. Anyway, is there anyone, or a chapter/local team that would like to consider organising something like this? If we want, we could even make it a 'travelling' exhibition. It would require a lot of screens, a nice occasion to display them, a bit of software to show the photos and collecting evidence. Best, Lodewijk

WLM Judging/Jury Tool - labs instance
by Jean-Frédéric 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

Hello, There are two instances related to WLM (wlmjudging & wlmjurytool) that are being considered as part of the current 2016 Labs projects purge. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Purge_2016#wlmjudging Would that belong to anyone here − or someone might know the owner? If it's yours, and you want it to be kept, just add your signature anywhere in the section. Otherwise they’ll be deleted in August. (Thanks Quiddity for flagging this to me :-) Cheers. Context below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Bogott <abogott(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Thu, Jul 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] [action required] We are removing inactive projects.
