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

Translations for WLM pages
by Ciell Wikipedia 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Hello everyone, While preparing our pages on Commons for Wiki Loves Monuments 2022, and with the upcoming final report on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion research in mind, I would like to ask your input on the translation wishes from this list. Wiki Loves Monuments has extensive documentation on Wikimedia Commons about all sorts of things around our competition. - What, in your opinion, would be the pages you would like to have, or even *need* to have, translated into your native language to help *your national team* organise Wiki Loves Monuments 2022? What pages should we give priority in setting up translation possibilities? (for instance the information page for national organisers? <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Organi…> ) - Are there pages that you would love to have translations enabled, to help *your participants in your competition* find and understand all the information we provide? (for instance the general WLM FAQ <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/FAQ> ?) - Please help the international team *prioritize*: are there languages that really are hindered by the information only being available in English, and that need this information in a different language to be able to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments? Please let me know your thoughts and ideas. And of course feel free to answer me off-list if that is more convenient for you. Best, Ciell

Welcome Manfred & the WLM 2022 timeline
by Ciell Wikipedia 02 Aug '22

Hi everyone, I know that some of you are already very enthusiastically working on organising WLM 2022, and so is the international team! The WMF granted our request for Wiki Loves Monuments 2022-2023 so we are good to go for another year, and we are very happy that this year Manfred Werner will actively be supporting the international team as our part-time staff. Manfred was previously already involved in our finances and is a staff member of Wikimedia Austria, our fiscal sponsor. Welcome Manfred! In our last bi-weekly meeting, the international team reviewed the timeline of WLM 2022 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Organi…>, and we would like to ask you to do the same. Historically, we organised WLM in September, but in 2020, because of the pandemic, the competition period was extended to 3 months (Sept, Oct, Nov). Last year, the two months in which you can choose any period up to a maximum of 31 days for your national competition, was September 1st - October 31st. Would this be okay to do again this year? And the deadline of December 5th for the submission to the international jury (sending your national top 10 to the international team), was this a reasonable time frame? Best, Ciell

Thank you to Elena and call for a communications volunteer
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 19 Jul '22

Hello all, As we prepare for the 2022 season for Wiki Loves Monuments, I wanted to share that the WLM International Team is looking for a volunteer to help with Communications and say thank you to Elena for all of her work over the last year. Elena joined the WLM international team in 2021 to help with communications after being an organizer for WLM in Romania for several years, and has done a fantastic job. She has helped expand WLM’s presence on Instagram and social media, and helped with the important annual task of announcing the international winners. She has helped a wider audience learn about WLM around the world. This year, Elena has decided to step back from the international team to focus on the national efforts in Romania. We are deeply grateful for all of her contributions. Call for volunteers: If you are interested in communications, social media, and Wiki Loves Monuments, there is an opportunity for you to join the international team. We are looking for someone who can help the team over the next year, including both promoting the campaign on various social media platforms, annual competition announcements as well as a planned refresh to the Wiki Loves Monuments blog. If you are interested, please reach out to wlm-global-org(a)lists.wmnederland.nl. If you are interested in contributing to the WLM international team in other ways, please read more at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Organi…! Best, Krishna Chaitanya *for WLM international team*
