Instagram and Creative Commons

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

Presentation at Zugang gestalten!
by Lily 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Hi all, On 2017-10-19 and 2017-10-20, I will be in Frankfurt [1] on behalf of the international team to attend Zugang gestalten [2] and give a presentation about Wiki Loves Monuments and how different partner/collaborator/stakeholder groups from different countries work together to make Wiki Loves Monuments happen every year. While we in the international team have some knowledge of the work that is going on in different countries, a lot of it is unknown to us, especially when it comes to the specifics of relations with governments, cultural institutions, media, people/participants, etc. And this is why I'm reaching out to you: If you are a present or past Wiki Loves Monuments organizer or someone who has worked closely with Wiki Loves Monuments campaign in your country and would like to share your knowledge with us, I'd be grateful for that. You can do this over email (public or private), or we can set up a 15-min IRC/Hangout/Skype call. If you want to follow the task corresponding to this presentation to get updates about it, you can do so at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177842 And last but not least: if you will be in Frankfurt next week, let's meet. :) Best, Lily [1] This is thanks to the support of WMDE.

WLM 2017 - instructions to submit local winners
by Neville Borg 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

[This email contains important information on how you can submit the 10 nominees of your country to the international finale and the respective 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 organising what seems to have been yet again an amazing competition in more than 50 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 federalised model: there is a national competition in each country, with a national organising team, a national jury, and national winners. The national jury determines up to a maximum of 10 images that will be submitted to the international finale. These 10 images should be submitted via email to myself before the deadline. Unless you have agreed a different date with Leila (in cc), this deadline is 31 October 23:59 UTC. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale. We expect to receive up to 10 nominations from the following national competitions: Algeria, Andorra & Catalan Areas; Armenia; Australia; Austria; Azerbaijan; Bangladesh; Brazil; Bulgaria; Canada; China; Croatia; Dutch Caribbean; Egypt; Finland; Georgia; Germany; Ghana; Greece; India; Iran; Ireland; Iraq; Israel; Italy; Jordan; Latvia; Malaysia; Morocco; Malta; Nepal; Netherlands; Norway; Pakistan; Palestine; Peru; Poland; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Slovakia; South Korea; Spain; Sweden; Syria; Taiwan; Thailand; Tunisia; Uganda; Ukraine; UK; US; and Venezuela. When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into account: * Submit no more than 10 images per (national) competition. It is OK to submit fewer images, for example if you don't find enough images of high quality. * Submit the images to: neville.borg[at]wikimalta.org, and include at least one (additional) local jury member besides yourself in cc. Please also include Leila (lilyofthewest.wikimedia[at]gmail.com) in 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. * For each image please submit the following information: 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. * Ensure 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 talk page, or by tracking them down through social media. * Ensure that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also described in English). * Ensure that the image is freely licensed. * All national competitions are welcome to add their top 10 nominations to this section ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017_winners#Finali…). If you have sub-contests within the national competition that you would like to share the results of publicly, you can use this section ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017_winners#Others) to do so. If you want, there are opportunities to also share your national winners on the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us about this. Thank you very much for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received, this will result in a pool of some 400-500 images for the international jury to consider. Details about the international jury will be published shortly. The jury will first rate all images with 1-5 stars, from which a top-40/60 will be considered. Then, the jurors will have the opportunity to remove images that they consider unfit from the selection. Finally, they will be asked to rank their top-25 images, and share the reasoning behind their choices. We will create a jury report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in the first two weeks of December (depending upon the swiftness of jury report creation and media opportunities). We're looking forward to the judging process! With warm regards, Neville Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 international jury coordinator

[WLM announce] Reminder: Deadline for submitting your national nominations
by Lily 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Dear Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 organizers and jury coordinators, We are half-way through October and it's a good time to remind everyone that the deadline for submitting your campaign's nominations to the international team is 2017-10-31, midnight UTC. In Montage (our jury tool), we currently have 33 campaigns which means we are missing another 21. Some of you are using other jury tools which is perfectly fine, but if you are one of the 21 campaigns that have not started your jury process yet, you need to start as soon as possible. We cannot overemphasize the importance of the October 31 deadline. Please make sure you don't miss it as we cannot guarantee to include your photos in the international contest after that point. If we miss your campaign, this will be a sad moment for you and your team as well as us in the international team. Let's do what we can to make it. :) In the next week, we will share with you instructions on how to share your top 10 nominations with us. Best, Lily -- User: LilyOfTheWest _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce
