Hi all,

To the majority of our local organizers: Congratulations for launching the WLM campaign in your country! You have now officially made it to the second day of the contest. :) So far, we have received more than 5500 uploads from 415 uploaders, and almost half of the uploaders have registered for an account after the competition has started. This is very nice! Although not all of these newly registered uploaders are necessarily newcomers, quite a few of them may well be! :)

Since few people have asked this in the past 24 hours: There are many tools, services, and tricks you can use/do to monitor your campaign. Here are two of them:

* If you are interested to watch the stream of recent changes in your campaign, you can check it by going to 

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_Country

where Country is the name of the country you're interested in. (For example, for Georgia, you can go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_Georgia

* If you are interested in some overall and country-specific statistics, you can use https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments or https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2016 . 

* And while you're monitoring your contest and uploaded photos, if you see there are pictures that have missing categories or don't have all the right categories, please add those. Adding the right categories can help with the discovery of these images later on. 

If you have any questions, please use this guide to learn where to ask your question. If your question is urgent, please reach out to Romaine or myself on Google Chat/Hangout or freenode IRC channel #wikilovesmonuments.

Good luck! :)

Leila, on behalf of the WLM international team
