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

Wiki Loves Monuments... Junior!
by Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska 05 Oct '21

Dear all, This year Wikimedia Poland tried something very new and different - Wiki Loves Monuments... Junior. It is a sub contest for our regular WLM aimed at students of elementary and secondary schools. The idea behind WLM Junior is to connect educational projects with WLM. We invited 11 schools to participate. Each school organized a Wikimedia Commons training and uploading session, some also organized photo-walks. The schools had a separate Campaign created ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-pl-junior). Overall WLM Junior brought 700 pictures (500 are now in the category, but 200 need to be recategorized since some students used the regular uploader) which is about 10% of all pictures in this year's WLM in Poland. The pictures will now be judged by a special jury consisting of teenage photographers, Polish Teacher of the Year, an artist. We will give prizes in two age categories - younger than 14 years old and 14-18 years. After the contest we will organize a special mobile photo exhibition which will visit all the participating schools. You can read all about the project here: https://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Lubi_Zabytki_Junior Next year Wikimedia Poland will be organizing the project again and - if there will be some interest - we will be happy to make it global. Let me know if you have any questions about WLM Junior :) -- Pozdrawiam serdecznie · Kind regards Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska *Specjalistka ds. wspierania społeczności · Community Support Officer* tel: +48 790 290 275 e-mail: natalia.szafran(a)wikimedia.pl Wesprzyj wolną wiedzę! <https://opp.wikimedia.pl/> Przekaż 1% podatku lub wpłać darowiznę na rzecz Wikipedii <https://opp.wikimedia.pl/> *pl.wikimedia.org* <http://pl.wikimedia.org> ul.

Commons:Montage photo judging tool
by Ciell Wikipedia 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is very much enjoying WLM 2021: as some of the national competitions have ended last week, others are only starting. Together we have already received over 141.000 images this year <https://wikiloves.toolforge.org/monuments/2021>. Thank you all for accomplishing this! Quite a few national campaigns will be using the Montage tool <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Montage> to help our juries make their choice for the winning pictures, and the top 10 that will be sent to the international jury. Because of an update to the cloud services, some errors were being reported over the weekend in the SSL connection to the tool. This is not only affecting Montage, but several tools that are being hosted in the Wikimedia Cloud, and therefore on Toolforge like Montage. Wikimedia developers are working on this, and if you would like to follow this process, please subscribe to this ticket on Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291387>. For Montage status updates only ('is it just me, or...'), you can check the Montage status page on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Montage/Status>. Our Montage developers have created a temporary fix for the Montage tool for now, and I will be creating the on Commons requested campaigns today. Campaigns should be working again now without the SSL errors: please let me know if you are still having problems. If you would like to use the tool for judging the photos in your national WLM, you can request a campaign on the tools' talkpage on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage>. You will have time until the 30st November 2021 to send in your top 10, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful pictures soon! Vriendelijke groet, Ciell (WLM Int team)
