thanks for this report. and asaf, very true, this is quite impressing and a pleasure to see. even if i would love to see how you calculated this :) more strange to my ears is that 20'000 images would be used on the sites, presented without a reference. lianna, where did you get that number from?

Thanks! The most interesting datum I've noticed so far is the rate of active editor (5+ edits/month) retention among new contributors after six months, which is about 0.4%.

That (along with the easy-to-measure and already known sheer quanities of photos generated) seems to me to be the most robust number to use in evaluating WLM (and comparable) funding requests. 0.4% may be considered worthwhile or not enough, depending on local contexts, so I'm not drawing a universal conclusion from it, just noting it.
(just thinking out loud here.)

Hi everyone!
I posted the latest in the string of program evaluation reports on Meta today, on Wiki Loves Monuments: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/WLM
Highlights of the report include:
- About 17% of the images uploaded through Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 are
in use on our projects.
- The majority of Wiki Loves Monuments participants are new users;
however, the survival rate of new users is low (1.7% of the 2012 participants made at least one edit and 1.4% uploaded at least one new file to Commons six months after the event).
- Half of the existing editors who participated in Wiki Loves Monuments
2012 also participated in Wiki Loves Monuments 2013, with new users making up for the other half.
- The global Wiki Loves Monuments organizing team helps support Wiki
Loves Monuments organizers around the world, providing replication opportunities via direct support. This makes it easier for someone to organize their own Wiki Loves Monuments contest.
Questions are welcomed and encouraged on the talk page.
On behalf of the Program Evaluation team,
LiAnna
