Hi all,
We have started a poster for the portuguese competition (sending you in JPG). Does it help in any way?

Hi Nicole, The text we have currently is limited to what we wrote on the etherpad in Berlin, and of course our ad that Hay made (it is on page 53 of Europa Nostra's summer edition of the European Cultural Heritage Review).
The text is here
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/May_Meet...
The printable pdf is here
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Wikilovesmonuments-europa...
I don't know if you saw Julia's earlier query on this. Right now all of our up-to-date info is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011I myself have been thinking hard about what the text should be, and last Thursday, Austin Hair and I stood behind a table at the Europa Nostra fair in Amsterdam. It was an interesting afternoon, since a lot of people came to the table with questions that I would never have dreamed of beforehand, such as whether I knew about the publicly accessible databases on threatened monuments, or on monuments in ultra-hard-to-get-to-places, or similar things. I did my best to get people interested in Wiki Loves Monuments and the Dutch WP10 birthday celebration this Saturday (though most people coming to the booth didn't speak Dutch). I printed out all of the winning photos, plus a few Wikipedia logos (the WLM logo, the puzzle one, the Wikmedia one, the Commons one, and the WP10 one). I also had printed out a short explanation how to uplaod a photo, and the jury report from last year. There were several photographers who came to the booth and wanted to know what the judging criteria were.
I was sorry I didn't have any flyers, since people really seemed to want this. Fortunately the booth across from us was giving away the Heritage magazines, so I told them to bookmark page 53.
I was very happy that I hadn't yet had a chance to give Tomasz's Wikibook on Chopin to Ziko, because I was using it as a paperweight (we were outside and it was quite windy). Many people commented on the book and were impressed that "we" at Wikipedia knew that Chopin was Polish. Fortunately there was a delegation from Poland who were attracted by the book and after looking at all the winning pictures got very excited. There was also a fairly large group of students from the Reinwardt academy in Amsterdam interested in architecture, many of whom have tons of pictures they could upload. I realized quite quickly however that it starts sounding very complicated when you talk about uploading groups of photos to Wikimedia Commons. That is definitely not the right approach for a casual computer user, which most of these people were.
The ten winning pictures did get a lot of attention, and when I explained that each of these is linked to an article on the Dutch Wikipedia, people seemed eager to learn more. The photo that got the most attention was the electricity transformer station.
So to summarize, I think the main thing to focus on is the result we hope to achieve with the contest, namely to gather lots of freely accessible photos of monuments for use in Wikipedia articles. The best way to get people to understand what this means is to pick a nice monument photo (or choose one of the winning ones from last year) and make sure it is linked to an article on the native Wikipedia. Then you can use that link to send to people in emails.
This page has the links to Dutch articles with the winning photos: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010A nice teaser for the upcoming would be to say how nice it would be to have pictures on Commons of nearby monuments that aren't there yet. It would also be nice if more people participated who lived in rural areas, since those monuments have the least photos on Commons.
Secondary information that is crucial to have is the criteria for judging the photos (everyone seemed interested in that) and the method used to upload the photos (especially the older people seemed very skeptical about being able to do this, though they seemed quite interested).
Hope it gets all of you thinking! Jane

Hi all,
I am not sure how the status is here, so please excuse if this was already discussed,
We are planning to create info flyers for participants, partners, and other target groups of the contest. In my opinion, it would be best to have one international flyer and then adapt it to all other languages/countries.
Wikimedia Deutschland could take care of all the design and printing stuff, if some of you can provide texts, images and all necessary information. What do you think?
Best, Nicole

Hi Parabens Susana :)
I like your poster, is it possible to have the vector version in order to adapt your work for the Spanish contest? (.SVG would be great)
In Spain, we already have started with the WLM flyer, if someone is willing to improve it, go on. You can find the SVG versions at commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_in_Spai... )

Hi all,
thanks a lot for your input, great works!
The Spanish WLM flyer is almost exactly what I was thinking of, very nice and a good format.
Ziko, feel free to add a page where we can collect ideas, texts and images for a German or international Flyer.
Best, Nicole

Hi all,
thanks a lot for your input, great works!
The Spanish WLM flyer is almost exactly what I was thinking of, very nice and a good format.
Ziko, feel free to add a page where we can collect ideas, texts and images for a German or international Flyer.
Best, Nicole

I don't know if you saw Julia's earlier query on this. Right now all of our up-to-date info is here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011
I myself have been thinking hard about what the text should be, and last Thursday, Austin Hair and I stood behind a table at the Europa Nostra fair in Amsterdam. It was an interesting afternoon, since a lot of people came to the table with questions that I would never have dreamed of beforehand, such as whether I knew about the publicly accessible databases on threatened monuments, or on monuments in ultra-hard-to-get-to-places, or similar things. I did my best to get people interested in Wiki Loves Monuments and the Dutch WP10 birthday celebration this Saturday (though most people coming to the booth didn't speak Dutch). I printed out all of the winning photos, plus a few Wikipedia logos (the WLM logo, the puzzle one, the Wikmedia one, the Commons one, and the WP10 one). I also had printed out a short explanation how to uplaod a photo, and the jury report from last year. There were several photographers who came to the booth and wanted to know what the judging criteria were. I was sorry I didn't have any flyers, since people really seemed to want this. Fortunately the booth across from us was giving away the Heritage magazines, so I told them to bookmark page 53. I was very happy that I hadn't yet had a chance to give Tomasz's Wikibook on Chopin to Ziko, because I was using it as a paperweight (we were outside and it was quite windy). Many people commented on the book and were impressed that "we" at Wikipedia knew that Chopin was Polish. Fortunately there was a delegation from Poland who were attracted by the book and after looking at all the winning pictures got very excited. There was also a fairly large group of students from the Reinwardt academy in Amsterdam interested in architecture, many of whom have tons of pictures they could upload. I realized quite quickly however that it starts sounding very complicated when you talk about uploading groups of photos to Wikimedia Commons. That is definitely not the right approach for a casual computer user, which most of these people were. The ten winning pictures did get a lot of attention, and when I explained that each of these is linked to an article on the Dutch Wikipedia, people seemed eager to learn more. The photo that got the most attention was the electricity transformer station. So to summarize, I think the main thing to focus on is the result we hope to achieve with the contest, namely to gather lots of freely accessible photos of monuments for use in Wikipedia articles. The best way to get people to understand what this means is to pick a nice monument photo (or choose one of the winning ones from last year) and make sure it is linked to an article on the native Wikipedia. Then you can use that link to send to people in emails. This page has the links to Dutch articles with the winning photos:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010
A nice teaser for the upcoming would be to say how nice it would be to have pictures on Commons of nearby monuments that aren't there yet. It would also be nice if more people participated who lived in rural areas, since those monuments have the least photos on Commons. Secondary information that is crucial to have is the criteria for judging the photos (everyone seemed interested in that) and the method used to upload the photos (especially the older people seemed very skeptical about being able to do this, though they seemed quite interested). Hope it gets all of you thinking!

Hi all !
I completely agree with Nicole : this is a great work.
I'll be very happy to make derivative work from Susana's poster and the Spanish's flyer. They are very nice and, if everybody agree, have the same support is the best way to advertise about WLM. I don't think we need to design others : these ones are very nice !

Yes, the "triptico" idea is great!
Very nice! I noticed there is no QR code in the flyer or the poster. Is this a conscious decision? Especially on a poster it would be nice to send people directly to the WLM website in their language. We put a QR code on the ad for Europa Nostra, but that links only to the european website.
You can make your specific QR code and add it to your flyer or poster. Will the upload work for the iPhone camera? Because it would be great if people could casually participate with an iPhone if they know the Monument number (which is sometimes on the monument itself). You can generate QR-codes from a URL here: http://www.qrcodegen.com/ If you don't have an iPhone, you can send a picture of a QR code for testing here: http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx
I really like the flyer showing the three logos for Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Commons. I think people really need to understand how these three concepts relate to each other in order to understand who is organizing the contest, and also how to link their pictures to articles (if they want to do that).

Hi Susana, I don't know what the recommended size is, but you can fit them into quite small spaces, according to the work done in Derby Museum. One of the Wikimedia boardmembers in the UK, Roger (Victuallers) is very strong on using them in combination with wikipedia articles, Here in Holland the city of Alkmaar has started a pilot project putting QR-codes on monuments, but they don't (yet) link to Wikipedia articles, just to articles in Dutch from the local historical society.
Our ad for the Europa Nostra magazine has a QR-code on there. I guess the idea is to make it big enough for someone to easily wave their telephone over. Something like 3 centimeters wide for a flyer maybe? I have seen them larger on a poster.

2011/6/17 Susana Morais susana.morais@wikimedia.pt
Well, i really didnt know what that was, until yesterday... :) Is there a specific size for that in printed material? I can specify a region for that code and then each country places his own in that region.
Susana
2011/6/16 Jane Darnell jane023@gmail.com
Very nice! I noticed there is no QR code in the flyer or the poster. Is this a conscious decision? Especially on a poster it would be nice to send people directly to the WLM website in their language. We put a QR code on the ad for Europa Nostra, but that links only to the european website.
You can make your specific QR code and add it to your flyer or poster. Will the upload work for the iPhone camera? Because it would be great if people could casually participate with an iPhone if they know the Monument number (which is sometimes on the monument itself). You can generate QR-codes from a URL here: http://www.qrcodegen.com/ If you don't have an iPhone, you can send a picture of a QR code for testing here: http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx
I really like the flyer showing the three logos for Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Commons. I think people really need to understand how these three concepts relate to each other in order to understand who is organizing the contest, and also how to link their pictures to articles (if they want to do that).

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011
I myself have been thinking hard about what the text should be, and last Thursday, Austin Hair and I stood behind a table at the Europa Nostra fair in Amsterdam. It was an interesting afternoon, since a lot of people came to the table with questions that I would never have dreamed of beforehand, such as whether I knew about the publicly accessible databases on threatened monuments, or on monuments in ultra-hard-to-get-to-places, or similar things. I did my best to get people interested in Wiki Loves Monuments and the Dutch WP10 birthday celebration this Saturday (though most people coming to the booth didn't speak Dutch). I printed out all of the winning photos, plus a few Wikipedia logos (the WLM logo, the puzzle one, the Wikmedia one, the Commons one, and the WP10 one). I also had printed out a short explanation how to uplaod a photo, and the jury report from last year. There were several photographers who came to the booth and wanted to know what the judging criteria were. I was sorry I didn't have any flyers, since people really seemed to want this. Fortunately the booth across from us was giving away the Heritage magazines, so I told them to bookmark page 53. I was very happy that I hadn't yet had a chance to give Tomasz's Wikibook on Chopin to Ziko, because I was using it as a paperweight (we were outside and it was quite windy). Many people commented on the book and were impressed that "we" at Wikipedia knew that Chopin was Polish. Fortunately there was a delegation from Poland who were attracted by the book and after looking at all the winning pictures got very excited. There was also a fairly large group of students from the Reinwardt academy in Amsterdam interested in architecture, many of whom have tons of pictures they could upload. I realized quite quickly however that it starts sounding very complicated when you talk about uploading groups of photos to Wikimedia Commons. That is definitely not the right approach for a casual computer user, which most of these people were. The ten winning pictures did get a lot of attention, and when I explained that each of these is linked to an article on the Dutch Wikipedia, people seemed eager to learn more. The photo that got the most attention was the electricity transformer station. So to summarize, I think the main thing to focus on is the result we hope to achieve with the contest, namely to gather lots of freely accessible photos of monuments for use in Wikipedia articles. The best way to get people to understand what this means is to pick a nice monument photo (or choose one of the winning ones from last year) and make sure it is linked to an article on the native Wikipedia. Then you can use that link to send to people in emails. This page has the links to Dutch articles with the winning photos:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010
A nice teaser for the upcoming would be to say how nice it would be to have pictures on Commons of nearby monuments that aren't there yet. It would also be nice if more people participated who lived in rural areas, since those monuments have the least photos on Commons. Secondary information that is crucial to have is the criteria for judging the photos (everyone seemed interested in that) and the method used to upload the photos (especially the older people seemed very skeptical about being able to do this, though they seemed quite interested). Hope it gets all of you thinking!

Hi all,
We have started a poster for the portuguese competition (sending you in JPG). Does it help in any way?

2011/6/15 Jane Darnell <jane023@gmail.com> Hi Nicole, The text we have currently is limited to what we wrote on the etherpad in Berlin, and of course our ad that Hay made (it is on page 53 of Europa Nostra's summer edition of the European Cultural Heritage Review). The text is here
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/May_Meet...
The printable pdf is here
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Wikilovesmonuments-europa...
I don't know if you saw Julia's earlier query on this. Right now all of our up-to-date info is here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011
I myself have been thinking hard about what the text should be, and last Thursday, Austin Hair and I stood behind a table at the Europa Nostra fair in Amsterdam. It was an interesting afternoon, since a lot of people came to the table with questions that I would never have dreamed of beforehand, such as whether I knew about the publicly accessible databases on threatened monuments, or on monuments in ultra-hard-to-get-to-places, or similar things. I did my best to get people interested in Wiki Loves Monuments and the Dutch WP10 birthday celebration this Saturday (though most people coming to the booth didn't speak Dutch). I printed out all of the winning photos, plus a few Wikipedia logos (the WLM logo, the puzzle one, the Wikmedia one, the Commons one, and the WP10 one). I also had printed out a short explanation how to uplaod a photo, and the jury report from last year. There were several photographers who came to the booth and wanted to know what the judging criteria were. I was sorry I didn't have any flyers, since people really seemed to want this. Fortunately the booth across from us was giving away the Heritage magazines, so I told them to bookmark page 53. I was very happy that I hadn't yet had a chance to give Tomasz's Wikibook on Chopin to Ziko, because I was using it as a paperweight (we were outside and it was quite windy). Many people commented on the book and were impressed that "we" at Wikipedia knew that Chopin was Polish. Fortunately there was a delegation from Poland who were attracted by the book and after looking at all the winning pictures got very excited. There was also a fairly large group of students from the Reinwardt academy in Amsterdam interested in architecture, many of whom have tons of pictures they could upload. I realized quite quickly however that it starts sounding very complicated when you talk about uploading groups of photos to Wikimedia Commons. That is definitely not the right approach for a casual computer user, which most of these people were. The ten winning pictures did get a lot of attention, and when I explained that each of these is linked to an article on the Dutch Wikipedia, people seemed eager to learn more. The photo that got the most attention was the electricity transformer station. So to summarize, I think the main thing to focus on is the result we hope to achieve with the contest, namely to gather lots of freely accessible photos of monuments for use in Wikipedia articles. The best way to get people to understand what this means is to pick a nice monument photo (or choose one of the winning ones from last year) and make sure it is linked to an article on the native Wikipedia. Then you can use that link to send to people in emails. This page has the links to Dutch articles with the winning photos:

A nice teaser for the upcoming would be to say how nice it would be to have pictures on Commons of nearby monuments that aren't there yet. It would also be nice if more people participated who lived in rural areas, since those monuments have the least photos on Commons. Secondary information that is crucial to have is the criteria for judging the photos (everyone seemed interested in that) and the method used to upload the photos (especially the older people seemed very skeptical about being able to do this, though they seemed quite interested). Hope it gets all of you thinking! Jane 2011/6/15 Nicole Ebber <nicole.ebber@wikimedia.de> Hi all, I am not sure how the status is here, so please excuse if this was already discussed, We are planning to create info flyers for participants, partners, and other target groups of the contest. In my opinion, it would be best to have one international flyer and then adapt it to all other languages/countries. Wikimedia Deutschland could take care of all the design and printing stuff, if some of you can provide texts, images and all necessary information. What do you think?

Hi all, according to what I had found when working on QR code printing, the minimal recommended size for QR code is 2x2 centimeters (and at least no less than 1.6x1.6 cm)
But I don't remember where I found it so if someone has a reliable source !
And I agree with Benoit, I think we should work on a same document, translated in our languages. And the spanish one seems a really good one to start with.

Hi Susana, I don't know what the recommended size is, but you can fit them into quite small spaces, according to the work done in Derby Museum. One of the Wikimedia boardmembers in the UK, Roger (Victuallers) is very strong on using them in combination with wikipedia articles, Here in Holland the city of Alkmaar has started a pilot project putting QR-codes on monuments, but they don't (yet) link to Wikipedia articles, just to articles in Dutch from the local historical society.
Our ad for the Europa Nostra magazine has a QR-code on there. I guess the idea is to make it big enough for someone to easily wave their telephone over. Something like 3 centimeters wide for a flyer maybe? I have seen them larger on a poster.

Well, i really didnt know what that was, until yesterday... :) Is there a specific size for that in printed material? I can specify a region for that code and then each country places his own in that region.

Hello,
The QR code i used on the poster is c. 1,5x1,5 cm. So its best to make it a little bigger. Thanks!

Ziko, just out of curiosity, can you elaborate on that?
The only "corporate design" guidelines I know is: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_visual_identity_guidelines
Hello,
Think about the Wikimedia logo, and the colours we often use: the colours from the logo, and the light blue from Wikipedia. It doesn't have to absolutely copy everything, but at least the logo should be there.
Kind regards Ziko

There's a Wikimedia logo on the bottom right.
The red and blue colours seem to pretty much akin to what we use in the WM guidelines.
I'm pretty impressed with this flyer, i really like the design. It's very unlike most Wikimedia designs, which is a good thing :)
