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

Commons app WLM integration - help needed
by Josephine Lim 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi all, Hope you are all safe and well. After having finalized our plans for WLM integration into the Commons app based on community feedback ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app/WLM , which was posted to this mailing list a couple of months ago), we have started work on implementation. We have run into a bit of an issue, however, that we are hoping to get help with. The initial plan (based on the discussion at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2020-July/009263.h… and at the abovementioned wiki page) was to use Wikidata as our data source, displaying all Wikidata items with the identifier property of P2186 (Wiki Loves Monuments ID) on our map. However we have now found out that some countries don't use P2186 at all. Someone kindly linked https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status#Table to me, and based on that it seems that there is a rather large variety of identifiers that different countries use. Realistically speaking, it would be really difficult for us to account for every possible identifier that every country uses, and it would also make stability and maintenance much more tricky. We can try, but it would be risky and tedious. On the other hand, it was suggested to me that if there is WLM community consensus that P2186 should be used as a universal identifier, countries might be willing to adopt P2186 for the sake of harmonization. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Many thanks. Best regards, Josephine / User:misaochan, Commons app project lead

Wiki Loves Monuments: Upcoming Office Hour on 16 April
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hello everyone, The Wiki Loves Monuments International Team would like to invite you to an office hour on 16 April @ 3 pm UTC. This hour is open to anyone interested in Wiki Loves Monuments, including past and future national organizers. We are starting to experiment with hosting an office hour every month, starting this month. The idea is to create a space to have more conversations about the campaign with national organizers and have their inputs. We will have a topic to discuss each month, which will be decided from time to time. We can also talk about other related stuff if we have time left. For this month, we would like to discuss deciding the timeline for 2021's competition. Due to the pandemic, last year, organizers had the option to choose any 30 days between September and November, as opposed just September. Though many organizers welcomed this move and it helped many countries participating for the first time to organize the competition, it has some logistical challenges and disadvantages. As the pandemic hasn't receded yet, we anticipate national organizers will have similar challenges as last year. As deciding the timeline is the one of the first steps to start planning, we would like to have inputs on this. We will start off the conversation based on the inputs we received regarding this from the surveys we conducted last year. The meeting details are as follows: - April 16 @ 3 pm UTC (https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1618585256) - On Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/gmi-njfd-cjv | *click here to add this to your Google Calendar <https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NWZ0Y3J2b2FxMXY4ZDV…>* - Agenda/Notes: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WLM-2021-April We hope that you are able to join us, and we look forward to the discussion. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya *on behalf of Wiki Loves Monuments International Team*

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM International Winners

Hi Ciell + Mohammad - Thank you for sharing these links. I'm wondering why the honorable mentions were only announced on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and not also announced on the WLM blog and/or Commons. It's really great to get the word out to a wider audience but, in my opinion, we should also make sure that we keep fuller records of WM activities within the wikiverse itself. As social media platforms are arguably transient (and certainly not as open as Commons) it would be good to have the honorable mentions captured as part of the international contest results in a way that's easy to access in WLM natural environment, so to speak. I'd gladly contribute to this (on Commons) if others agree or the WLM international team don't have the capacity to handle this without input from the community. For the record: I've also posted this message on the WLM 2020 winners talk page on Commons. Thanks again and best wishes, Toni ___________________________ Dr Toni Sant Wikimedia Community Malta User:ToniSant Web: http://www.wikimalta.org On Sunday, April 4, 2021, 1:00:56 PM GMT+1, wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org <wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: Send WikiLovesMonuments mailing list submissions to wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wikilovesmonuments-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at wikilovesmonuments-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of WikiLovesMonuments digest..."
