Hi Ilario and Yaroslav, in Austria we had 220 people involved for the correction of list over the year in every detail. So it is a work in progress, not mentioning the changes, that are made by the Austrian officials every year. So the lists do not have to be perfect for WLM, but it would be fine, if they are rather complete. Great work, you do that together.
Please inform me and Alex by cc if things are ready or if there are problems with the database or with maps and apps. Kind regards Beppo -------- Original-Nachricht --------

Ok no problem, please consider that I am working in the Italian one with a "clone" of the English one (the it.wikipedia had no list) I added only a default image in case of missed picture and I would do the same in the French one (at the moment the bot harvests only 29 items from the French list). The German list needs only an adaptation (to add some columns) because its very similar.
The idea is to dont take care from whom the bot will harvest, but that
the database will have only "one" repository in order to limit the work in case of integration.
I am working on four wikipedias as I can translate in those four languages (Italian, German, French and English) and if the solution works I can also add the list in the Rumantsch wikipedia as I can manage a little bit also Rumantsch.
At the moment I took 2 weeks to fix all errors in the Italian list *only for one canton* (so consider how many missed informations were in the English one), so I would rollout these changes quickly in the other Wikipedias.
The most complete list is the English one but *we cannot present Swiss Wiki Loves Monuments* in English!
I do speak German and French and also some Italian (I guess I should be able to understand Rumantsch), so this is not really a problem for me.
I checked all English lists against the government lists. This means if they contain errors, these errors originate from the government lists. Visually, I did not notice anything odd for the list for Geneva (where I used to live), but of course I am not an expert, and there could be
issues
I just did not notice.
Anyway, if there are no objections until tomorrow, I will start adding
the
native names tomorrow to the English lists.
Cheers Yaroslav
Yes, you used the Swiss official list and you did it correctly. But it has been generated some years ago and there are some municipalities not existing anymore and the ISOS villages not completed (missed kgs number).
Mainly it has been a correction of some information, addition of some others (for instance the municipality of Claro is missed in the English list) and the integration of some other informations.
But I said that the English list is the most complete one, but we cannot use the English version for the Swiss contest.
Anyway I am here to help and to do a better job in very short time, I would not impose a choice.
Would we continue privately?
Please
