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

Wikivoyage banner competition in WLM-2018
by Alexander Tsirlin 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Dear All, We are happy to announce the Wikivoyage banner competition as part of WLM-2018: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/banners Same as last year, we invite the participants to convert their photos into banner images used at Wikivoyage. These banner images introduce travel destinations in a visual and attractive form. They can depict panoramic views, important landmarks, or recognizable details. Page banners can be easily cropped from the Wiki Loves Monuments photos. ## What's new this year? ## 1. The competition runs till October 31; this leaves the time to crop the photos and upload the banners after the end of the main WLM period 2. There is a separate upload campaign (wlm-banners) that helps us to structure the uploads ## We need your help! ## 1. First and foremost, please, spread the word about the banner competition among your local community 2. Add information about the banner competition to your landing page. Link to the Commons page mentioned above, or (even better) translate it into your language 3. We create the lists of 'most needed destinations', namely, those that have Wikivoyage articles but miss banner images so far. Please, let me know if your local community may be interested in such a list. We shall prepare one for your country in the beginning of September 4. As the upload campaign is new, we are still translating it into different languages. Please, let me know what will be the best translation for the field "Source image (Commons file that your banner was cropped from)" Please, send it to me personally and not to the mailing list. Thank you! Your questions and comments are welcome! Best wishes for your upcoming WLM, Alexander

Mail for organisers: get ready in the final days before the start of the contest
by Romaine Wiki 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hi all, In the past week I have reviewed the infrastructure (special UploadWizard + CentralNotice banner (=banner above Wikipedia/etc)) for all the participating countries and all seem to work. If there are any errors or questions, please let me know as early as possible! (Please note: only during the contest period the WLM template and WLM categories are added to the images, not in the days before.) *What do you need to do?* 1. Please make sure your landing page has been added to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Landin… Please make also sure a link to the English page bas been added there. (without landing page there can't be a banner) 2. Please make sure your landing page is also linked in the banner above the special upload wizard during the contest. This template can be found by going to *Template:Upload campaign header wlm-..* and replacing the .. by your country code. (This template is for your country only.) Please link the English landing page on the */en* version of that page. See for more details the requirements on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Organi… *Deadline: 30 August at 23:59 UTC* (So I have time to implement both the URLs for the landing pages and texts in the CentralNotice banner. Providing the data after deadline may cause a delay before implementation.) *CentralNotice banner above Wikipedia* This banner will be activated for your country by me and should be visible for you within the 30 minutes after your local contest started <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Upload…> . The banner will only be activated if at least the minimal information is available for the participant on the website or landing page, which includes the rules and how to participate. Greetings, Romaine

Video upload "wizard"
by Strainu 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hey, If there are other countries besides Romania that want to encourage video uploads, you should know that video2commons maintainer {{u|Zhuyifei1999}} has done a tremendous job making it possible to pre-fill the information template and other fields from the wizard/ This makes it (almost) as easy to correctly upload videos in any format as it is to upload photos. You can find details here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Video2commons#Is_there_a_wa… I already implemented this for Romania, see the "video" links in the image columns: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_monumentelor_istorice_din_jude%C8%9Bul_… . The Lua code that does the magic is available at [[:ro:Modul:Monumente]]. HTH, Strainu

Hi, I just tested https://maps.wikilovesmonuments.org and it uploaded the photo. - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turku_-_Turku_Orthodox_Church_-_201… <https://maps.wikilovesmonuments.org/> Based on the test it will not add WLM categories and templates at least for Finland's competition.

Hi Johnattan, Thanks for creating the Spanish version of the poster. I think it's probably better to leave out the list of participating nations given that it keeps changing until the competition starts. -M On Fri, Aug 17, 2018 at 7:04 PM < wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: > Send WikiLovesMonuments mailing list submissions to > wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wikilovesmonuments-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of WikiLovesMonuments digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Social Media Activity for WLM 2018
by Mohammad Hekmat 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi all, The international team will be active on social media (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) throughout the month of September to promote WLM and to reach out to a wider audience. If your local campaign is planning to use social media please go to the following page and fill out the details so we can coordinate with you: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Social… Please make sure to add a contact person we can reach out to for coordination. The contact person does not need to be the same as the people running the accounts but someone (e.g., from the local team) who has access to the people managing the accounts. This page also helps us decide where to focus our efforts. Also, when posting on social media please make sure to tag us (@wikilovesmonuments in FB and IG and @wikimonuments in Twitter) to make sure we see your post. Thanks, Mohammad

Hi all, Wiki Loves Monuments is coming up soon! I have been updating the international website overview, and linked the landing pages that were listed in the table on Commons. Please check the status of your country here: https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/participate/ I have listed the following countries as 'likely participating': Finland, Georgia, Ghana , Greece, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria , Palestine, Poland, Portugal , Romania, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Tanzania. If your country is listed under 'likely participating', that means that there was something going on. I left a message for your country coordinator here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/P… . Please make sure that it is answered/is taken care of as soon as possible! I have considered the following countries as 'maybe participating' (they will not be listed): Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Sudan, Zambia. In the coming days, I will keep updating this overview. Also, please check Romaines email earlier, and update https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Landin… Thank you!
