Follow up on meetup questions
by André Costa 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

(This is a follow-up to some questions that were asked during hte Wiki Loves meetup at Wikimania) == Mass contacting participants (or a subset of participants) == There are two methods I know for contacting the contributors to a competition: * MassMessage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MassMessage> allows messages to be sent out to the talk pages of a list of users. * Massenmail <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technik/Skin/Benutzerskripte/massen…> a short javascript by DerHexer to send mass messages using the "email this user" function. It adds a button to the sidebar Tools section which triggers an interface where you enter the list of users, a topic, content and if you want a copy. == Wikidata Migration == For teams interesting in mapping their data to Wikidata the starting point is Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status>. Click on the link for your country in the "maping tables" column (@Deror that is il_(he) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/il_(h…> for you) to start mapping. See e.g. the mapping for Iran <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ir_(f…> as an example or give me a shout if you have any questions. If your data is already on Wikidata then please also take a look in the table to make sure we are aware of it.

by Ciell Wikipedia 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi all! Looks like we are really going to make it: the islands of the Dutch Carribean are joining Wiki Loves Monuments 2017! Wikipedia on the Dutch Carribean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Caribbean>: *The Dutch Caribbean refers to territories, colonies, and countries, both former and current, of the Dutch Empire <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Empire> and the Kingdom of the Netherlands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands> that are located in the Lesser Antilles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Antilles> archipelago of the Caribbean Sea <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Sea>.* * Current territories comprise the islands of Aruba <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruba>, Curaçao <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao>, Sint Maarten <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Maarten>, Bonaire <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaire>, Sint Eustatius <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Eustatius>, and Saba <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saba>. The contemporary term is sometimes also used for the Caribbean Netherlands, an entity since 2010 consisting of the three islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, which are special municipalities of the Netherlands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Netherlands#Administration>.* The Dutch team is supporting the Dutch Carribean in collecting the lists needed for the competition and facilitating the juryprocess. Are you a resident of the islands, do you want to join the team and help? Let me know! Cheers, Ciell

[WLM announce] Flickr and Wiki Loves Monuments collaboration
by Lily 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hi all, Wiki Loves Monuments international team is excited to share the following news with you: Flickr [1] and Wiki Loves Monuments will work together to encourage and facilitate the contributions by Flickr photographers to Wiki Loves Monuments 2017. Here is the rough sketch of how this collaboration will work (more details will be provided on this list as we learn more but also as we run into questions that we'd like to answer with you): * Flickr is going to use their Worldwide Photowalk Group [2] to host images and invite photographers to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017. * This week they will publish a blog post on the Flickr Blog/social and update the group with a call to action for photographers to begin organizing independent meetup events/walks in their location in September. They will be closely following the sign-ups for countries participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 [3]. Please help us by keeping that page updated. * Organizers will create Facebook events with specific details and monuments the attendees will photograph. Flickr will host a master list broken down by continent/country in a Group Discussion. * They will open the Group for photo submissions in September to officially launch the month and in sync with each country's opening and closing time and date of campaigns. * Flickr will post each week with their favorite images in the group (blog + social + galleries) to continue encouraging participation/submissions. * When we say "organizer" in above points, we are referring to group organizers on Flickr end. If country organizers on our end would like to get more involved with Flickr photographers, we'd support and encourage that but local organizers on either side shouldn't feel pressured to do so. :) For a list of things we should do, please read [4]. In the past, the photowalks have been pretty popular [5] and both sides are looking forward to welcoming new cities as part of this Wiki Loves Monuments season. We are very happy that Flickr is working with us and our communities through Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 and we hope that the experience of this year provides more opportunities for the two communities to collaborate more in the future. Questions and comments are welcome. Best, Lily [1] https://www.flickr.com/ [2] https://www.flickr.com/groups/flickr10photowalks/ [3] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Partic… [4] On our end, we will need to do the following: * Workout how to keep the local organizers updated about the submissions on Flickr end as the contest is moving forward. * Create a bot that will call a Flickr API at the end (or at specific intervals) of the contest to import photos from Flickr to Commons. We should communicate with Flickr what exact information they should make sure gets collected and served via the API. (country code, monuments ID, name/id of the photographers, license, photo, ...) * Licenses accepted. * [optional] A mapping tool such as Monumental is something photographers will appreciate a lot. :) * and more [5] Continents/cities that have had participated more than a couple of times in the past photowalks by Flickr: Europe: London, Berlin, Munich, Paris, León or Valladolid (and other cities) in Spain, Moscow, Rome and other Italian cities... Americas: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Toronto, Sao Paolo, Guadalajara (Mexico) Asia: Bangalore and other cities in India, Taipei, Karachi, Oceania: Sydney, Melbourne and other smaller cities in Australia, occasionally some city in New Zealand (Christchurch) or Japan (Nigata, Tokyo) -- [[User: LilyOfTheWest]] _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce
