In the paragraph "Content Production and Quality Improvement" it's not mentioned any paragraph about the quality of the photos.

It's a photo contest and the photo contest gives a prize to the best photos not to the biggest uploaders.

This is an example of divergence between the real aim of the projects and the measures of the evaluation.

Probably there is a misunderstanding in same place.

A god shot of a professional artist doesn't cost 0.90 dollars.

To measure the success the best approach is to consider that a god shot can costs around 50-100 dollars.

Replying to people that agree that the measure is to cover articles, I agree with them but I also agree that there is no sense to have bad photos even if these photos are not "descriptive".

Hi Lodewijk,
it's not the fisrt time that I am saying that the measures of the evaluation are able to measure quantities and not qualities.

If the aim of Wikimedia is to improve also the qualities, it's clear the direction that the movement is taking.

I know that measuring quantities is easier, but it's not an evaluation, are simple numbers without a clear "strategy".

regards

Hi all,

it seems that the WMF evaluation department has once again put together an evaluation of Wiki Loves Monuments. Out of curiosity, were any of the organizers involved in this? A quick glance suggests some factual errors, and again a big focus on assuming WLM is a consistent project, that is similar in each country (while in reality it is a diverse collection of projects, tailored to the needs of each country, by its community) and with a focus towards number crunching. 

Statements that begin with 'the average Wiki Loves Monuments implementation/contest' make my eyes bleed... Did anyone make a more thorough analysis of the report? 

Best,
Lodewijk
