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

UNESCO promoting WLM and translating the participate page
by john cummings 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hi all Just a note to say I can ask UNESCO again to promote WLM, however I got some pushback last year because the page to find your country is only available in English. <goog_921670993> https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/participate/ It would make it much much more likely I can convince them again to promote it if this page could be available in French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Russian also.

Banners
by effe iets anders 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

Hi everyone, With the help of Seddon at the WMF we have been working over the past while to redesign the banners to make them more effective over a range of devices, use standing best practices from fundraising on what we think is effective, and make it more feasible to test effectiveness down the line. This means that the banners will be redesigned a bit compared to what you may have been used to. We will use a default design as usual, that you will be able to see here <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wiki_Loves_Monuments&banner=wlm2…> (adjust language and country code to play with it), with a logo on the left and a standardized and translated text in the middle. By default, we will not show an image on the right (due to visibility concerns). Note that there are some known issues such as wrong url which should disappear once the banner goes 'live'. This does mean that we'll have to be more conservative with requests to tweak the design a little without really good reasons. For example, we will keep the logo on the left and the color scheme of the banner consistent across countries. This will help with branding, but the most important thing is that it will help with scaling (all the different requests make it harder and harder to maintain). If you have a particularly good reason for your country, it is again possible to change the text and the image on the right for your country. You can request this here <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Centra…>. I know some countries have requested very particular changes (different background colors, border colors) which will unfortunately not be an option right now. We expect that the new design will overall still be an improvement for everyone. Good luck with the last bits of the preparations! Best, Lodewijk (on behalf of the international team)

[WLM announce] WLM landingpage template
by Martin Kraft 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hi everybody! starting during the Wikimania Hackathon we created responsive Page-template that can be adapted for the local WLM landingpages (the pages, the banner is targeted to). You'll find it here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentati… Feel free to copy the wikitext source to your desired lemma and start to translate and customize it. This landing page is based on a set of templates and stylesheets, that are not jet documented. But I think you'll get the purpose of each element while observing it's usage in the landing page. If anyone is interested in helping me with the documentation, that would be great. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLXpage Currently it is only the landingpage itself. But I am working on subpages and a Navigation as well. Hopefully that will be usable within the next few days. I'll give you a note. I hope that this page helps you to prepare your countries competion?! Best wishes for the pre-WLM sprint // Martin DISCLAIMERS: 1) The whole thing should work on mobile and has been tested against the Vector and Minerva Skin. But it still is in early beta stage - so please don't be too angry if there are any unclean spots or display errors. I'll try to do some quality assurance before the competition starts, which will automatically tile in wherever the templates are used. 2) The Template-Styles StyleSheet is generated via SASS. So if you have any suggestions concering enhancements and bugs, don't do it yourself but contact me. Otherwise your changes maybe overwritten by the next update. 3) I didn't invest any work into rtl-Support so far. It may work though, but please don't blame me if it breaks. -- *Martin Kraft* /Ehrenamtlicher Autor und Photograph in der Wikipedia/ Moritzstraße 44 65185 Wiesbaden /büro/ +49 (611) 30 66 60 /fax/ +49 (611) 30 66 26 /mobil/ +49 (178) 40 55 552 martin.kraft(a)wikipedia.de <mailto:martin.kraft@wikipedia.de> wikipedia.martinKraft.net <http://wikipedia.martinKraft.net> _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

[WLM announce] Monuments database and useful reports
by André Costa 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hi everyone! In this email I'd like to ask your attention for some maintenance. I know this sounds boring, but it should make your life easier down the line. I'll talk a bit about monument lists, and how to make sure that the infrastructure that helps in categorization and validity checks works smoothly in your country. Please make sure that for each country, at least one person takes a good deep look at this. I'll try to answer the most common situations. If you still have more questions, just hit 'reply' and ask! If you find yourself in one of the situations below where we ask you to get in touch with us then please file a task in Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?project=wiki-…> . For our maintenance, we use the monuments database, where all lists of monuments are collected (whether they are on Wikipedia or in Wikidata). The monuments database <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database> serves two main functions. The first is that it allows our busy robot ErfgoedBot to do various tasks with the uploaded images such as categorising them and making reports that local organisers can use to get the most out of the images. The second is that it allows other developers to build tools, such as maps (example 1 <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlm-maps/> , example 2 <https://tools.wmflabs.org/map-of-monuments/>) that can either be used to explore the monuments or can be of assistance during the competition itself. The data in the monuments database is harvested from either a structured lists of monuments on a Wikimedia site or from monuments items on Wikidata. In either case the international team must first have been made aware of the lists/Wikidata items. I'm not sure if my country is in the monuments database. What do I do? To find out if your country is in the database go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics or https://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/api/ and look for your two letter country code <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Current_codes> and language code (i.e. language version of Wikipedia). If you find it then your country is in the monuments database! If you don’t, and you believe that it should, please get in touch. Note that some countries may have multiple entries either for different types of monuments or for different parts of the country. We're transferring to Wikidata and didn't tell you yet. I thought it would be fine right away. What do I do? If you switched from lists of monuments to Wikidata and didn’t tell us, the monuments database will still be based on those Wikipedia lists. Similarly if you never had lists but put the monuments directly into Wikidata without telling us, your data will not be in the monuments database. For the monuments database to harvest the information from Wikidata you will have to get in touch with us and provide us with the necessary information to determine how to set up the harvesting. Please file a task on Phabricator (see this example <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174333>). Once the harvest is up and running most of the Reports (see below) will be generated as before. If you have switched from lists to Wikidata, it is worth thinking about how you allow photographers to find the monuments. Will you keep your old lists in parallel? Can you make new lists automatically generated from Wikidata, like this Australia example <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019_in_Aus…> (careful, some wikis may not allow such lists in the mainspace!). Can you make use of Monumental <https://maps.wikilovesmonuments.org/>? Our monuments have new IDs after moving to Wikidata Did your monument IDs changed after moving to Wikidata (even if they have just lost or gained a prefix)? Or do you now use only the Qid instead of the old identifier? Then there are multiple things which may have to be addressed. The first is to ensure that your instructions for Photographers do not reference the old IDs this year. The commons template used to tag the images with the monument it depicts will likely have to be updated to support the new IDs. This template is automatically added by the Upload Campaign <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Upload…>. If the template is already in heavy use, because of images from previous years, it might be easier to set up a new template and update the Upload campaign (and Monuments database settings). Get in touch with us if this is the case. If you are allowing uploads using both the old lists and Wikidata you may need two separate Campaigns and two separate commons templates. Get in touch with us if this is the case. My country is in the monuments database, but I have no idea what to do with that information. What maintenance pages/reports should I check? For each of these maintenance pages/Reports mentioned below the link goes to a page on Commons which has more detailed information and links to the individual page(s) for your country. Each type of page updates once per day. If your country is not on the list but you think it should, then get in touch. Unused images <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images> (lists and Wikidata) This lists any images of monuments where that monument doesn't yet have an image on the list [or an image statement on the Wikidata item if Wikidata is used instead of lists]. The purpose of this list is to make sure the photographs taken for WLM actually get used. Action item: Add the image to the list or wikidata item, and the next day it should disappear from the report. Unknown fields <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unknown_fields> (lists only) Every day ErfgoedBot processes your lists of monuments. If it encounters an unexpected template parameter it make a report of it. While this page seldom changes it’s worth having it on your watchlist, just in case. The purpose of this list is to give organisers a quick way of spotting when someone has accidentally broken one of the templates or to warn you about new fields which the monuments database has not yet been made aware of. Action item: Fix the broken template instances Images without id <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Images_withou…> (lists and Wikidata) This lists any images which have been uploaded without providing an id linking it to a specific monument. The bot will try to guess the id when possible. The purpose of this list is to make sure that each photograph taken makes it clear which monument it depicts. The earlier these are caught the bigger the chance that the photographer can add the missing information. Action item: unidentified images could be disqualified. As national organizer, it's up to you to either fix the missing number, contact the uploader or to disqualify the image. Hope this helps. Just reply if there are any questions.

[WLM announce] 2019 tooling status: statistics
by Jean-Frédéric 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Hi all, (First email of several regarding available tooling) The WLM international team maintains a statistics tool for Wiki Loves -like contests. It is ready for 2019. Data is refreshed every 15 minutes. <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019> (Currently there is only Ireland because Ireland already started a week earlier :) If you want to know more about the tools, there is documentation at <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Wikiloves> == What does this bring me? == The tool, beyond the “country race”, provides each competition with: * A day-to-day table of image uploads and joiners (suploader who uploaded their first image on that day). < https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019/Ireland> * A sorted table of all uploaders, their upload count (as part of the competition) and file usage, and their registration date < https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019/Ireland/users> These two views may be helpful to gauge the health of your competition == There's a problem! == If you notice any issue with the tool (bug, data missing, etc.), please file me a task on Phabricator. < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=tool… > Hope this helps. Happy to answer any question. -- Jean-Frédéric _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

[WLM announce] Call for suggestions jurors
by Erina Mukuta 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

Hi all, Like every year, we need to put together a good jury for Wiki Loves Monuments 2019. It is a complicated and delicate process to come to a balanced jury, and I would like to outline the criteria here, and to ask for your input. I have agreed to take the lead on this process - but would definitely welcome your input, and help. As in the past years, I think it is important to aim once again for a jury that as a whole is neutral and balanced in many ways. This means ideally: * A mix of photography experts, heritage experts and Wikimedia experts (aiming at a total size of 7-9) * Geographically balanced so that no two jury members come from the same country. * Balance in many other ways imaginable (while at the same time, one can never assure a balance in all aspects) * The international jury members do not serve on a national jury for WLM At the same time, there are some practical considerations: * Jury members must be able to write and read English * They must have the time to commit to judge 200-500 photos in three rounds over a period of 3 weeks in November * While jury members can participate in a local competition, their photos cannot participate in the international finale * Jury members should not participate in any national jury for 2019 (previous years is OK) * It would be helpful if the juror would be willing to share their real name for the jury report. * Jury work is in a volunteer capacity. Do you know someone who would make a good juror, please contact me privately with the suggestion. At least let me know who the juror is, how I could contact him/her and why they would make a good jury member (and whether you have reason to believe they would accept the nomination, if asked). I will do my best to put together once again a qualified and diverse jury, with your help! Thank you in advance! Best regards, Erina Mukuta international jury coordinator, Wiki Loves Monuments <year> _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce
