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.

Hi everyone,
In the past years, I have with much pleasure worked on making Wiki Loves
Monuments a success, by supporting the international community that
organizes this great competition as well as possible.
As we're wrapping up the ongoing competition but also approaching the time
to submit our plans for next year in about a month, it is time for me to
evaluate my own role. After ten editions over the course of eleven years,
I'm taking a step back in the international team, and will not be part of
the core team. This way, I hope to be able to refocus my energy and efforts
in new ways, and allow the international team at the same time to
rejuvenate.
The international team will be looking for a few additional members to join
them, and you can expect more communication from them over the coming
while. If you already think of someone, please do reach out to Stephen, who
will be leading the effort to welcome new colleagues on the team.
In a funny way, I'm excited for the next year in a new role, and what the
rejuvenation may bring for the international team. I hope you are too, and
that some of you will step up to the challenge, and help out! I'll remain
involved in smaller ways hopefully, and will of course keep following
everything!
With much love and warmth,
Lodewijk

Hi all,
Hope you are safe and well. :) I just wanted to let you all know that we
have drafted a proposed timeline, scope, and mock-ups for the planned
integration of WLM uploads into the Commons Android app this year. Please
do take a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app/WLM
and let us know what you think!
Feedback from organizers and the community is super important to us, and we
are more than happy to make changes to our plans and design based on your
input. Due to this, we are hoping to get all of the feedback in by 8 March,
so that we can make the changes and finalize our plans by 15 March. This is
to ensure that we will have enough time to implement this feature and beta
test it sufficiently prior to the start of WLM 2021.
I also wanted to apologize for the long delay since my last post in this
mailing list - we had initially intended to start working on this last
year, but there were various circumstances contributing to the delay. We
are excited to finally be able to start on this and to have a functional
feature up in time for this year's WLM!
Many thanks for your time and input.
Best regards,
Josephine / User:misaochan (Commons app project lead)
Hello everyone,
The Wiki Loves Monuments international team would like to invite you to an
office hour on upcoming Wednesday, i.e. February 3 @ 5:00 am UTC. This hour
is open to anyone interested in Wiki Loves Monuments, including past and
future national organizers. Please join us to discuss the plans for the
team's 2021 grant proposal, volunteering with the international team, or
any other topics that you would like to bring. We have seen tremendous
national results from the 2020 competition, and there are many valuable
lessons from this past year that we can take into the years ahead.
The first office hours concluded a few minutes ago, and the etherpad notes
can accessed at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WLM-2021-1. The upcoming
one is the second office hour in line, with the same agenda - we are
hosting two to accommodate people from various time zones.
The meeting details are as follows:
February 3 @ 5:00 am UTC (https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1612328455)
On Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/pph-ygti-pvu
