Dear Lodewijk,
For the Hungarian competition: * we had 48 direct uploads on Wikimedia Commons in September (list is attached in direct uploads.txt) * I uploaded 1 picture on Wikimedia Commons before bot uploading (for testing): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%96sk%C5%B1_k%C3%B6rtemplom.jpg * Tgr uploaded by his bot 2019 pictures between 08:53, 30 September 2011https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Lak%C3%B3h%C3%A1z_%284173._sz%C3%A1m%C3%BA_m%C5%B1eml%C3%A9k%29.jpg&oldid=60294348and 18:06, 1 October 2011https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Obermayer%E2%80%93Hubay-f%C3%A9le_b%C3%A9rh%C3%A1z_%28Varga_Katalin_Gimn%C3%A1zium%29_%286051._sz%C3%A1m%C3%BA_m%C5%B1eml%C3%A9k%29_59.jpg&oldid=60400071from Indafoto.hu photo sharing site: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/TgrBot... these pictures are submitted and uploaded for the contest before end of September). So our final number should be *2068*, but Tgr will check this number tomorrow.
We had 3043 more valid submissions after 30 September for the national contest (ended on 21 October). We used {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2011|hu}} template for pictures are valid for international contest and {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2011-hu}} template for pictures uploaded between end of September and 21 of October. Both templates put files into Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 in Hungary. This category contains 5,046 pictures now after few deletions (which number is irrelevant here).
Best wishes, Samat

The sooner the better of course, but to try and get the record approved before the press run next edition, I think we should submit the proof this week at the latest. Also, I have arranged a meeting with a witness on Thursday morning, so to make sure everything is in order in time, I'd need the numbers by Tuesday.
Hope that works out,
Lodewijk

When do you need the results?

Hi all,
as you may recall, we have applied for recognition as a guinness world record with the 165.000+ images of 2011. However, to finalize that application, I need some help. We need to determine the final number of submitted picture - and will need two witnesses who will sign a statement. I'm pretty far with the witnesses - but need some help in making it easy for them to confirm the full number of images.
I thought the easiest way would be twofold:
- make sure that the category 'Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2011' is
"clean" - that there are only valid images there.
- create a list of url's with all submitted images.
To do that, I'd use the following definition of a valid submission:
- For Switzerland, images submitted in July, August or September 2011
(starting time is in UTC+2, closing time in UTC+0).
- For all other countries, images submitted in September 2011 (including
Hungary, since the images submitted later were not considered for the international contest)
- For all countries, possible delayed bot uploads (we'd need to manually
identify those)
- For all countries, the image has to contain the {{Wiki Loves
Monuments|country code}} template (I don't think other templates were in use)
- For all images, check whether it is a derivative of an existing image
(probably easiest to just list all images that fulfill all other requirements and have a 'other versions' mention - and manually check those)
This should add up to all the images that were considered as a valid submission and could have been nominated for the international contest. Am I missing anything?
It would be great if someone could dig through the category and help clean it. Also, if someone could use a script to generate this list of url's once that is done. That way, for the proof we can both make a screenshot of the category, showing the full number, and count the list of url's and let the witnesses do some random checks on them.
Best,
Lodewijk
