Dear all,
I lack the technical background to comment on the discussion
below. I just want to say this: I am frankly not so much concerned
about which flag is placed where, or which country is mentioned
where. I am only concerned that I get a lot of complains from
Armenian participants of the contest, who see their photos appear
in the wlm.az category rather than wlm.am (at the result of manual
change of templates in their photos).
Just to make clear why this bothers them. It is technically
impossible for people who live in Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh to
travel to Azerbaijan (let's say in case they become winners of
wlm.az). (There are other issues as well, for instance, wlm.az
seems to have only included the monuments of
one
city of Nagorno-Karabakh, while wlm.am included
4
provinces).
This means that they are practically excluded from the contest
(they have no chances to win). So, I suggest, that we, the WLM
community, make a decision on how to solve this.
I personally can think of two options:
* We don't allow anyone to manually add templates to WLM images,
at least until 30 September
* We allow users to add only an alternative template which will
not change hidden categories or any other metadata (I mean an
alternative template of {{Cultural Heritage Azerbaijan}}).
Please let us know if you can think of anything else.
Vacio
