Hello!
the start of our contest is getting closer. We can start the count down in two days. But before please have a look on our project page. As scheduled we have provided you a mold or advisoryhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/international_press_advisoryfor your own press work in form of a press release. Please feel free to alter it to your proper needs.
*Please* update if possible the tablehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Mediawith You own press contacts and press releases as soon as possible.
Thanks to many of You the *social media* part is pretty active both on twitter and facebook. As it is a community project, social media will be very important channel to outreach beyond our own boundaries. Who would like to create an international Facebook page in Spanish on Wiki Loves Monuments? (and maintain it). Would anyone be willing to run a Pinterest and/or Instragram communication - we're not familiar enough with it to do so.There will be no centralized Flickr upload - if you want to use alternative upload channels you will have to do that on a national level.
*Please* send us Your blogpost to publish on the international sitehttp://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/: cool stories, experiences, lessons. You may start now. If every country postes one blog, we will be able to cover the whole month of action. If You like, You may send us your post and we will upload it for you.
Information on the international *partners* including their logos will be ready this week for download and national adaption at Wikimedia Commonns http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Sponsors. Please make sure that you list your national partners with logos. We could subsequently upload them to the international website. We would appreciate, if You like to add the international partners and sponsors to you national sites to.
*dates*:
the WLM app will be ready for use at 2012 - 09 - 01 the central notice will be ready for use at 2012 - 09 - 01
