Posters for Wiki Loves Monuments
by Lily 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Hi all, A couple of you have reached out to us off-list asking for a sample of posters for Wiki Loves Monuments. The international team doesn't have template for posters this year (we probably should, I created a task to come back to it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173950). However, many of you have been making posters for your competitions anyway, so let's make sure we share those with each other, for inspiration and reuse. :) If you are looking for poster ideas, please check: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_posters If you have already made some posters that are not in that page, please upload them on Commons and add Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_posters so others can find them. Thanks, Lily -- User: LilyOfTheWest

Commons beginner upload manuals
by Mārtiņš Bruņenieks 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hi! Are there any good examples of on-wiki step-by-step upload manuals related to WLM? I want to create one for our local contest as we did not have one in previous editions. Maybe some of our potential participants are just confused by the process. Mārtiņš

Update on activities around Flickr collaboration
by Lily 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Hi all, Here is a status update about our collaboration with Flickr. * 5 cities have already signed up to organize photowalks: San Francisco and Denver in the US, Berlin in Germany, Leon in Spain, and Melilla. Our Flickr contacts have told us that they expect to see (many) more cities join in the coming couple of weeks. At this point, I see discussions about Brisbane, Australia and an invitation for photowalks in Italy (Thanks, Nemo!) * In Wikimania, bunch of us sat together and designed a user-flow that can help Flickr users identify which monuments are eligible, how to contribute, and how their uploads is to be brought to Wikimedia Commons. ** Paweł is working on a landing page that Flickr walk organizers and/or photographers can go to and get information about the eligible monuments. We will start testing the interface with the 5 cities mentioned above in the coming days. If you are the point of contact for the corresponding countries on our end, you may receive pings from us with question. :) ** Maarten started working on the bot that will read the images on Flickr and bring them to Commons. (The task is tracked at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173056) * As always, please make sure the list of definitely participating countries is updated. This is especially critical now that we have created external dependencies, i.e., people are organizing photowalks based on the information in this table: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Partic… That's it for now. :) Comments and questions are welcome! Best, Lily -- User: LilyOfTheWest

Weekly update #3
by Lily 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

Hi all, [I'm still optimistic that I can commit to a weekly update for this list, hence the subject. Obviously, I've failed on this front so far, but I'm trying, really! ;)] We are almost 10 days away from the start of Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 contest. :) == Participating? == * If your country is participating and you have not signed up officially yet, please do so. [1] We need this information asap. If you are in this category and your country is participating for the first time, please email Lodewijk (cc-ed) and myself immediately. * If your country is participating for the first time and you have listed your country as definitely participating country [1] and you don't have your lists ready, please email Lodewijk immediately. We can't lose 1 extra day at this point and we need to quickly help you get on board. * If you are in the list of participating countries and you are unsure if you can make it, please indicate this by moving your country to Likely to participate list [2] and get in touch with us immediately so we can figure out together how we can help. * All others: please make sure you've read and are following the steps needed to organize Wiki Loves Monuments. [3] == Share == We were reminded one more time in Wikimania that many of you like to share your experiences and new things you are trying with other organizers. We encourage you to use the following space to continue sharing with each other what new things you are trying, what has worked in your context, and what hasn't. :) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Organi… == Jury tool signup == If you are planning to use Montage as the jury tool for your contest, please sign up at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage#Wiki_Loves_Monument… == Prizes == We are finalizing the prize scheme at the international level and you should hear from us soon. You can follow up the task where this is being discussed at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170749 A teaser for this year's prize: We are grateful to receive an anonymous donation for the winner of Wiki Loves Monuments at the international level. More on the specifics of the camera and prize to be shared in the coming days. == Getting help == We are here to help you organize a successful Wiki Loves Monuments contest. If you need help, please ask for it. :) The best way to do this is at Help desk [4]. Yes, 1:1 emails are nice but individual inboxes can overflow and if there is not much visibility to your help request, you may not receive it. If your request needs to be communicated privately (sometimes there is a need for it, we understand:), please email the person in the international team responsible for it [5] but do cc me in your email, please. :) There are a few other things I'd like to share but this email is already getting long. :) If you have questions or comments, they're welcome. Otherwise, I keep the rest of the updates for next week. :) Enjoy the ride, you all! :) /me counts the days to September 1.

Wiki Loves Monuments UK is looking for volunteers
by Michael Maggs 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

Hi all. Wiki Loves Monuments UK is looking for some volunteers to help with reviewing this year’s entries and identifying a long list of images that are worthy to be submitted to the three judges who will pick the final winners. You don't need to be a top photographer to volunteer for this, but you should have a good understanding of what makes an exceptional photograph and be able to distinguish good from mediocre images. You'd need to be able to commit to something like four or five hours work, mostly during October but perhaps during September as well. If you are able to help, please contact me by email. More details can be found at the competition website http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk All the best Michael

Hi all! sorry if this is an off topic in this list. I just see the recent video from wikipedia: https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/videos/10155462578903346/ And I think it would be great if this video will be avalaible in with spanish subtitles and some others ... Can someone of you tell me, where I can ask if some people are translating this? -- Johnattan Rupire @johnarupire

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 360º pictures in wlm
by Jan Ainali 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

If the local jury find them good enough they are free to send them to the international round (in this case they didn't and I don't think it has happened anywhere yet). There was no special award for the category. /Jan Ainali (skickat på språng så ursäkta min fåordighet) On Aug 12, 2017 09:28, "Mārtiņš Bruņenieks" <martinsb(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi!
