Well, if my opinion counts, I'd rather let them run for a month (thus ending the Oct 14th.

Hungary started on Sep 15 and were running for a full month, but they had this somehow planned before (like Israel this year). Cheers Yaroslav Hungary was in a similar situation last year, and we decided that the national contest run between 21 September and 21 October, but the international contest ended on 30 September and the 10 nominated pictures for the international jury was selected from the first two weeks period. Could you please point me out where is the Slovak monuments list on Wikipedia?

However, you should have all business in order before then (this is not to be underestimated at such short notice), including prizes (no prizes is an option too, although highly unfortunate) and jury. However, I would be quite against having the finishing date of Israel. Israel is here a strong exception because the hebrew calendar system is different than ours, and newyear starts at Sept 14. This does leave them with an extremely short time to run jury results. Having Slovakia with a shifted timeline too, would be highly unfortunate. Also, this would mean you would have to disqualify all images uploaded so far (you mentioned 100 accidental uploads?). So *if* you're able to join, I strongly prefer you would still end at September 30. I know this doesn't sound nicely, but otherwise things become very confusing.

Joining in with Israel in terms of the timeline seems like a do-able option if we pushed the starting date further a bit. <- What would be the hard limits on that? The infrastructre is getting built as we speak (thank you for the help!) Our thinking is that it is better to take this oportunity and not to wait until 2013. WLM and the Wiki family is, after all, a project of hope, Thank you for your support, Matej Grochal (Jetam) _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org> <mailto:WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org>> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org -- Emilio J.

I know it's very late through legal causes, but now the slovak domain for http://wikilovesmonuments.sk is running too. Perhaps it's possible, that somebody can change the links with http://wikilovesmonuments.org.
