Bas, Nice work! That looks short and sweet and could really help us I think for next year. However, I suggest changing the wording of the question "Photos of what countries did you upload?" to "Which countries did you upload photos for?".

I am also curious what you had in mind for the link to information on how to edit articles. This could potentially be a page on our WLM website with a short list of articles that now have a picture but which did not have a picture before (hopefully each country has at least two examples!). Were you thinking of our Wikipedia help pages? Because personally I have never found those very helpful.

Hello everybody,

We made a draft for the thank you message (which is planned to be posted on the talk pages of all participants). And the survey which will be linked from the thank you message.

They are below my email.

Please give any suggestions before 19:00 CET or 17:00 UPC 3 October (tomorrow), so that we can start with translating then. A new email will be send by that time containing the publish version.

Mvg,

Bas (vb)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments and sharing your pictures with the whole world. You are very welcome to keep uploading images, even though you can't win prizes any longer.

To make future contests even more successful, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in this survey[LINK GOES HERE>SEE BELOW ].

Kind regards,
