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

Hi all,
Given the current situation, has anyone (in the international tema or in
local team) explored how and if Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 would happen?
We start to think about it in France, there is a wish to make it despite
the COVID. But for now, we are mainly looking at options as there is a lot
of uncertainties.
PS: Can anyone make a script counting how many photos submitted at WLM are
taken before september? Our assumption is that a lot - most ? - photos are
taken long before september, which can be a good thing - people have a
"stock" of photos on their hard drive - or a bad thing - people usually
take photo now, but most countries are in lockdown now... So, it depends on
the statistics.
I hope you're all well and safe.
Cheers,
~nicolas
Hello,
With everything that has happened in the world, with this pandemic, with
these unlikely situations, the community, are we sure that we have to
cancel and hide? Yes, we are afraid to take the maximum safety measures to
protect ourselves and our loved ones.
I say that the wiki loves monuments must take place on the same date with
the same energy and in the same timeline.
We should adjust, we have a lot of cards to play and we will end up giving
this power to the rest of the world, our community knows no boundaries,
doesn’t need funding, we are all volunteers.
This message is for all of us to bring new hope to those who are fighting
to heal the planet from this disease.
Take action, an action, as we all know.
