Hello Romaine,
you helped us with WLM Central Notice last year and we met at WikiCon in Karlsruhe. Many thanks again for your help.
 
Austria will take part in Wiki Loves Earth this year. The upload for the contest begins as of May 1st 0:00 and ends on May 31st 23:59. Last year we had WLPA in May. We would like to have a central notice with the same data for WLE this year. We had it visible on de:WP and on Wikimedia Commons as far as I can see. For the Users which logged in with an IP from Austria, who had German as a default language on Commons, it was in German for the others it was in English. Both, IPs and logged in regular users could read it. Ther was a discussion on how many percent of the time the Cantral Notice would be visible, not to be boring too much for regular contributers. At last everybody was satisfied with the time, the banner was visible all over the month of May 2013. But I do not know the data of the settings for WLPA in May last year. I think for WLM in September 2013 we had similar settings.
 
I spoke to several "officials" of WLE international (Ukraine), but me and even Lodewijk did not get answers to the questions about central notice for WLE in May 2014. I wonder, if other countries have set up banners for the central notice. Most of them will begin in May 2014.
 
I want to ask you if you kindly could set up a central notice for the upload campaign for WLE, beginning with the first of May. The campaign on Commons itself could be installed by User:AlexX for the people uploading via the Austrian lists of Natural Monuments.
 
I can send you the draft for the graphics of the banner as a PDF with next mail
Which format do we need for the graphics? As in WLM it has the Logo of WLE on the left side and a photo of a Natural Monument on the right side.
Many thanks in advance

Hello Richard,

As I wrote before, I am prepared to do the upload and CentralNotice infrastructure, just as in 2013.

Is anyone from last
year's international team stepping forward for
this year? An entirely new team with no
transitional elements might be
putting those
volunteers in at the deep end.
