Hello Mesha, Ciell!
I was convinced I answered that doodle in November... But apparently not?
In any case, please tell me what is your availability. I can meet at Wed.
and Friday afternoon (including today), Mon., Tue and thu. morning (UTC
times).
I'm also very interested in this feedback.
See you soon,
Paulo

Hello,
Just a friendly reminder that we are still looking for input for the DEI
Research.
The International Team would really like to know what problems you have
encountered in participating with Wiki Loves Monuments, or have even kept
you from organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments competition in your country at
all!
We are very interested in knowing the difficulties on various local
levels: was it for instance possible for you to get heritage lists from
government or appointed officials? And were you able to transfer them to
Wikipedia, and/or Wikidata? What were the copyright/jurisdictional issues
you faced? Were there any other technical difficulties, and did you find
the information on Commons you were looking for?
While we try to keep the rules as simple as possible, we very much realize
that every country may face specific issues, and to improve the WLM
competition for the years to come, we really need your input. Please reach
out to Mesha (in cc:), or feel free to email me if you are unsure.
Best,
Ciell
WLM International Team 2021-2022

Hi everyone,
In recent years, several national teams have indicated that they
encountered problems that prevented them from being able to participate in
Wiki Loves Monuments. These issues included, but were not limited to, the
definition of a 'built monument', and the possible bias with authorities
that appoints monuments in their country. Issues such as colonial heritage
and indigenous heritage were also often a topic that teams ran into.
The International WLM team therefore sought and received WMF funds to
conduct a research on the diversity, equity and inclusion of the Wiki Loves
Monuments photo competition.
For this, I’d like to introduce to you Mesha, who is the researcher and
consultant that will be advising us on how to make our photo contest more
accessible to everyone.
Mesha will be reaching out to (previous) national organisers, (previous)
international organisers, and others involved with WLM in the upcoming
months. If you want to proactively reach out to Mesha and make sure your
experiences are being heard, she can be reached at
mesha.m(a)wikilovesmonuments.mobi .
Kind regards,
Ciell
WLM International Team 2021
