Hi everyone, We (WLM Malta) are trying to develop some sort of promotional poster to promote WLM through social media, but since we don't have a designer as part of our team we are struggling slightly with the visual design - is there anybody who would be willing to share any posters they may have used, or perhaps some sort of editable template that we could potentially build upon? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Neville -- Administrator Wikimedia Community Malta <http://www.wikimalta.org>

Update from wlm Perú
by Johnattan Rupire 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi all! yesterday I was in a meeting with a representant from Culture Ministry in his office. We talked about the possible participation of this Ministry through Qhapac Ñan Project Office in WLMPerú2016 and we have a many signals to think this will be materialized this year. I have a hope about this. They showed me an official map for material heritage in Perú [1], specially arqueological, monuments and areas. They say we can use this information to wlmPeru2016. After export this data [2], and with a first look, some monuments dont have geo code to located it. So, I ask to OpenStreetMap community here to comparate data bases and look it for geodata missed. I think there are so many monuments that not be in these lists. I asked them to participate as jury with a member and they suggest a Professional Photographer from Ministry who has made many pictures for their projects. In this point I suggest a looking for a some way to release some (or all) pictures from their data base. Maybe some of you have an experience in this task? I mean, in a data release from gubernamental office to wikipedia? I would like to propose them a simple way to do it and share with they some arguments to do this in a public way that inspire some others offices. I'm looking for a meeting with Education Ministry ... So, we have a direct way to coordinate his participation in wlmPeru2016 and they are waiting for some feedback from us to do it. Next week we have another meeting, we hope arrive it with many questions and proposals. This is all for this moment.

Preparing instruction materials
by Ynhockey 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Hi all, We want to make/update some instruction materials for WLM in Israel and the most important factor here is how to upload images for WLM. Unfortunately the campaign is off so we can't do this. My UploadCampaign permissions were just revoked this year :/ Did anyone else make such instruction materials, and what would be the best way to take screenshots of the upload campaign / temporarily enable it? —Yan.

Installing wlxjury
by Platonides 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello Ilya I have been working to install a local test instance of wlxjury. I more or less configured it (not all things are clear, and for greater confusion, there are two different configuration files: application.ini and application.conf), but it failed with an OutOfMemoryError at the first request (see log below). Any idea? Regarding the configuration, what is the commons.user for? Should the database be initialised in any way, or does it do it automatically? Best (...)

WLM jury tool - status update 2016-08-08
by Lily 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hi all, Here is an update on the WLM international team's efforts around the jury tool in the past 6 days since my last update: * We went over a demo of the majority of the jury tools currently listed at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Jury_tools. (Thanks to all the developers who made this happen. :) ) * We created a list of technical and UX requirements the jury tool the international team supports should meet. You can find an overview of why we needed to create a list of requirements and the actual list at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Jury_tools/WLM _jury_tool_requirements. In the next few days we will be focusing on evaluating the six jury tools against the above list of requirements. This assessment will help us make a decision about which tool we should create a team around and support. Our goal is for us to be able to share an update with you in the next 7 days. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. Best, Leila, on behalf of the WLM international team -- User: LilyOfTheWest

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

Tools for WLM 2016
by Lily 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

Hi all, There have been quite a few tools developed for WLM in the past years, and I'm guessing some of us are working on creating more. :) It would be great if we can gather a list of all tools, along perhaps with a short description of what they do, in Tools for WLM 2016 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016/Tools>. As an inspiration, we can use the Tool's page from WLM 2013 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Tools> . Having an overview of all the tools available will help the organizers learn about and find different tools more easily. It will also create an opportunity for more collaboration in tool development and reducing the chances of parallel creation of tools that address very similar questions. Best, Leila, on behalf of the WLM international team -- User: LilyOfTheWest
