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

Uploading using wrong link.

Dear all, greetings, How can we resolve a scenario where a photo was uploaded using the regular Wikimedia Common to upload a photo instead of the designated links for the contest?

Question about manual tagging of photos
by Karen Mardahl 28 Sep '19

28 Sep '19

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

[WLM announce] Notification to WLM uploaders without e-mail enabled
by Jean-Frédéric 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

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/i18n https://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 _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

[WLM announce] How to Nominate
by Erina Mukuta 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

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 _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

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.

Help us improve a framework for supporting content campaigns!
by Alex Stinson 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

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 [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Campaigns/Organizer_Framework [3] https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/feedback-on-content-campaigns-framework… -- Alex Stinson Senior Program Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM
