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.

Hello
I need clarification about adding manual tags. As I understand it, if a
monument is recognised as an official monument in my country, but we don't
have the latest updates in our lists, then the user can add a tag manually.
Is this correct?
A user has already done this for this photo and wants to know if this is
correct:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kvæsthusgraven_København_2019_08_04…
Can someone confirm that this looks OK?
I assume that manual tagging means you upload a photo to Commons like you
normally would do. Then you go back in and add a tag. Can someone confirm
that it is this one:
{{Wiki Loves Monuments 2019|country-code}}
I appreciate your help.
Regards, Karen Mardahl, WLM Denmark
Hi all,
A belated e-mail to announce a feature that has been running for a week or
so.
Every three minutes, ErfgoedBot retrieves the list of users who uploaded,
in the last few minutes, pictures marked as participating to WLM. If an
uploader has not enabled e-mail, the bot leaves a message on their talk
page explaining that it is necessary to win a prize (unless it has already
notified that user).
You can help translating the message in more languages at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/i18nhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/heading/i18n
We hope that this will help to avoid situations of winning pictures with no
email enabled, only detected much later when the uploader is not around
anymore.
You can see the original requirements at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T195341
Thank you to:
* Lodewijk for the original idea
* André for the code-review
* Michael Maggs for some much needed polishing of the message prose
Hope this helps,
--
Jean-Fred

Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators,
Thank you for the amazing work done in the past weeks and months in
organizing wiki loves Monuments 2019.
As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is based on
a federalized model: there's a national competition in each country, with a
national organizing team, a national jury and national winners. The
national jury determines up to (maximum) 10 images that will be submitted
to the international finale.
These ten images should be submitted via email to the international jury
coordinator before the deadline: erinamukuta(a)gmail.com. Unless you have
agreed a different deadline with Lily (in cc), this deadline is 31 October,
23:59 UTC. Your encouraged to send them at least a few days before that
time. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in
the finale. When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions
into account:
* Submit no more than ten images per (national) competition. It is OK to
submit less images, for example if you don't find enough images of high
quality.
* Submit the images to: erinamukuta(a)gmail.com , and include in the CC at
least one (additional) jury member besides yourself. Please also include
lilyofthewest.wikimedia(a)gmail.com in the 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.
* Submit for each image: 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!
** 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
tracking them down through social media.
** that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also described
in English)
** that the image is freely licensed
*If you want to use the jury tool, please sign up for it(
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage#Wiki_Loves_Monument…
)
If you want, there are opportunities to share your national winners also on
the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us about this -
more information about this soon.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received,
this will result in a pool of some 350-430 images for the international
jury to consider. The international jury is described on this page. 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
from the selection, which they consider unfit. Finally, they are asked to
rank their top-25 images, and share their reasoning. We will create a jury
report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in the
first two weeks of December (depending on the swiftness of jury report
creation and media opportunities).
We're looking forward to the judging process!
With warm regards,
Erina Mukuta
International Jury coordinator

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.

Hello everyone,
Apologies for cross-posting, and please forward to communities who you
think will be interested.
In light of the movement’s increased focus on diversity and becoming
essential infrastructure for diverse human knowledge, the Community
Programs team at the WMF has begun investigating the use of content
campaigns in the movement. Campaigns are some of the most reliable ways to
create new content and introduce new contributors to the movement, but we
have a lot of questions like:
What are the different steps that our community organizers have to go
through in order to organize campaigns and contests such as Wiki Loves
Monuments, Wikipedia Asian Month, #1lib1ref Wikidata Menu Challenge etc.?
What are the tools that are being used in organizing these campaigns and
contests such as PetScan, Listeria, CitationHunt, Fountain, wscontest tool,
Outreach Dashboard etc.?
During some initial research into the space, we have developed a draft
Organizer
Framework <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework>[1]
that highlights key stages in organizing any campaign/contest and the
documentation that we could find supporting those stages.
Now, we need your help us improve the framework so that we can help less
experienced organizers understand how to better support content campaigns.
Please join us in discussing the framework and provide feedback on the talk
page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Campaigns/Organizer_Frame…>[2]
or connect with us on the discuss forum.[3]
If you want to reach out directly, feel free to email us at
astinson(a)wikimedia.org or sgill(a)wikimedia.org.
Thanks,
Alex Stinson and Satdeep Gill

Hi,.
I am adding the data of KMC heritage buildings in Wikidata, which is
displayed as a list in Commons through Listeria. But while fetching p670
qualifier, it is showing ''Array'' in stead of the actual value. Can anyone
please solve this issue.

This was really useful information. Thanks!
I have used a modified version of this to invite 2500 people on Commons
who previously contributed to WLM in the UK.

Hi,
The Kolkata community is organizing the 9th session of Wiki Takes Kolkata
to photo-document the monuments of Sovabazar and Pathuriaghat area of
Kolkata on 22 September, 2019. This year, the community is organizing the
walk to upload the photographs for Wiki Loves Monuments. Details can be
found here -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Kolkata_IX
Also, the West Bengal community is adding data about monuments, listed
under Kolkata Municipal Corporation heritage list, to Wikidata and expect
to complete that by the end of this month.One of such working list is here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons%3AWiki_Loves_Monuments_in_India%…>.
Later, targeted projects will be taken to geo/photo-document the uncovered
monuments.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
