Instagram and Creative Commons

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

[WLM announce] Submission Form
by Erina Mukuta 24 Dec '20

24 Dec '20

Hi everyone! As you may be aware, the deadline to submit national nominees to the international process is by the end of December. In previous years, this all happened via email. In order to minimize the possibility for mistakes and improve reliability of this process, I would like to ask you to fill a form with your nominees. This will generate an email to both a jury member, and an organizer. Both will be asked to confirm the correctness of this overview by responding to that email. The link will be sent to the organizers ON REQUEST. Please have the main organizer email Erina (me) for this. Thank you again for this effort! I'm looking forward to a lot of exciting submissions this year. Best regards, -- *Erina Mukuta*International Jury Coordinator _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 Organizer Survey
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hello all, Many thanks for participating in the Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 Participant Survey. We have received more than 1100 responses! It is now time to understand Wiki Loves Monuments from organizers' perspective. In order to understand the same, if you have been involved in organizing any aspect of Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, please fill in the Wiki Loves Monuments Organizer Survey at https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_82qIdXsilaCy4Dz. This survey will help us to learn who you are, how you supported Wiki Loves Monuments, about what worked well, what can be improved, about the structure and the tools you used. This survey takes around 15 minutes to complete. Please share the survey link among other members of your organizing team. We encourage multiple people from the same organizing team of a country to participate in the survey, as it will lead to a well-rounded perspective. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Krishna Chaitanya *on behalf of WLM International Team 2020*

Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 - Participant Survey
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hello all, As many of you might have already noticed from your Wikimedia Commons talk pages, the WLM International Team has launched this year's participants survey. The survey has been sent as a mass message to all the uploaders of WLM. Through the survey we would like to learn who you are, your experience with various aspects of Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, what worked well, and what can be improved for the next year. If you have participated in WLM 2020, you can participate in the survey at https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9plOyw6gnzNfOWF and also please do pass it onto your community groups and also any social media channels you have. Apart from that, I would like to point out two things; 1. While sending the mass message, I didn't notice the title said 2019, as I copied last year's template - and it was sent! So your talk page sections might be saying 2019 - but the content is about 2020 only. It is my mistake, sorry for the confusion. I am hoping to fix it with the help of AWB or a bot, though not very sure. 2. Also, since this year, countries have organized their national competitions, between September and November - the survey had only been sent to uploaders till the end of October (approximately). So for the countries that organized the competition in November, the survey will be distributed for their participants separately in early December. So if you are wondering that you haven't received a message, it is because of this reason. In less than a week since the launch, there are about 900 responses! Please share it across to increase the participation. Also, we have got the translations done in a few major languages, but we can also include others, even now and integrate with the form. Anyway, they will be helpful for next year as well. So if you are interested in translating the survey to your language, please let me know. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Best, Krishna Chaitanya *on behalf of the international team* PS: Organizer's survey will be out soon :)

11 Nov '20

Hello to all, Today, a few hours ago, the montage tool just stopped working, I can't even login. Is this happening with someone else? Shoul a ticket on Phabricator be open? A issue on gitHub? My error message is as folows: <ExceptionInfo [sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError) (1290, 'The MariaDB server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement') [SQL: u'UPDATE users SET last_active_date=%s WHERE users.id = %s'] [parameters: (datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 10, 19, 13, 33, 773317), 47501133L)]] (40 frames, last=Callpoint('defaulterrorhandler', 36, 'MySQLdb.connections', '/data/project/montage/www/python/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py', 65, ' raise errorclass, errorvalue'))> Thanks in advance for any comments, Éder Porto | User:Ederporto

[WLM announce] Call for suggestions jurors
by Erina Mukuta 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Hi all, Like every year, we need to put together a good jury for Wiki Loves Monuments 2020. 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 January * 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 2020(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!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WikiLovesMonuments Digest, Vol 114, Issue 1

Hi Lodewijk - Thanks for this reminder. Should the 1 November date that appears here be adjusted? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2020_winners#Finali… Best wishes, Toni___________________________ User:ToniSantWikimedia Community Malta Web: http://www.wikimalta.org On Monday, November 2, 2020, 12:01:51 PM GMT, wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org <wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2020 00:07:51 -0700 From: effe iets anders <effeietsanders(a)gmail.com> To: wlm-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] reminder: deadline for jury submissions is later this year Message-ID: <CACf6Bev582JYGvjb2Fcnumnns_L49P9uiA1Cye0t1E0x7Pdk-A(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi everyone, As a kind reminder, I would like to point to the timeline this year <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2020/Organi…>: every country can follow the submission schedule of the countries that run in November. That means you can submit until late December (don't get surprised by the holidays though!). After that, we will have to enforce the deadline more strictly this year, but hopefully this offers some respite. I'm just sending this as a kind reminder, as I saw some concerned messages from national organizers. Please ensure that your jury coordinators are aware of this submission timeline. Thank you, Lodewijk
