uploading scanned films?
by attolippip 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

hello there! has anyone tried locally to organise something around outreach to photographers whose pictures were made on photographic films? we have not had such a campaign in Ukraine before, just individual efforts, like when a Wikipedian convinced an old photographer to upload his pictures of lost heritage to Commons, they had to scan his films to do that: https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/photos-of-destroyed-heritage/ as this year (to make sure people are not roaming around taking pictures for their own safety) for the Ukrainian part of the contest we decided to accept only pictures taken before February 24, 2022, we thought of maybe looking for ways to reach this audience -- photographers whose pictures are on films, so most probably old enough... but maybe there are some tips/things to be aware of when dealing with scanned films, and somebody on the list has travelled down this path already, and can share useful information? (sorry for crossposting, i have also asked about this on the telegram channel) З повагою / Best regards, antanana Wiki Loves Monuments Ukraine Disclaimer: This letter is sent in my Wikimedia volunteer capacity, not as a Board member of Wikimedia Foundation

HEIC to JPG convertor for Commons?
by Mykola Kozlenko 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

Hi all, Some participants of WLM Ukraine reported difficulties converting HEIC images (default format on new iPhones) to JPG. They obviously can't upload HEIC to Commons because it's a non-free format, but when they try to convert to JPG directly on their phone, some of them are getting a low-resolution version instead of a full-resolution one. We did try sending them links to Apple help pages but it didn't really work. Have any of you seen this problem? If yes, do you know any free tools or do you have any good intuitive guides for HEIC upload to Commons? We can translate them if needed. Thanks! Mykola (NickK) WLM Ukraine

WLM Suriname questions: 2 jurors and adding images from vacation school competition to WLM?
by Michelle van Lanschot 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Hello everyone, We are halfway through Wiki Loves Monuments Suriname and I have two questions that arose that I would like to ask you: * Prior to Wiki Loves Monuments Suriname which is held in october, the team organised a vacation school for students aged 8 to 14, with a seperate photo competition <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2024_in_Sur…>, in september. The team originally did not want to include these pictures <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WLMSU> in the official WLM competition, but is now getting requests from parents about the possibilities for adding them. Would this be possible (since the pictures are already uploaded to Commons in september, not october)? * Do you need to have three jury members or is two also enough? Thanks for you help again!
