Yeah, the number of words is less than I expected, the liked more photos
from our side :) That is a good thing, I guess!
Alexander: the ultimate deadline is Sunday, but maybe you could send in a
first draft by Friday? Then we can work on it together on Saturday, and
make sure everything fits together well.
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi,
We actually already published a post on Wikimedia blog about this last
year:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/19/ukraine-secret-cultural-heritage/ ,
we also wrote about this in our WLM photo album (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWlm_2014_Ukraine.pdf…
) and elsewhere. It is unfortunate that the number of stories dropped from
5 to 3, but we are still available to provide a 100-word story if needed.
Thanks,
Mykola (NickK)

Hi,
OK. In total we have 350-400 words. So I propose:
- 100 words for 3 stories each
- 100 words for a general surrounding explanation.
I propose the following stories:
- RU about travelling long distances by photographers
- NL about collecting municipal lists
- IT about the struggle with legislation & permissions
Each story can be 100 words in English, with a few good photos that go
with it (not sure how many we can fit in).
Would that work? Please confirm.
Unfortunately we can't put more stories in! But NickK, it would be great
to include something on the WLM (or Wikimedia) blog! Could I keep the UA
story as a backup for this? It sounds more complicated to explain in 100
words than the NL story, and I like the geographic diversity
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi Lodewijk,
We in Ukraine would be interested to participate, especially because we
have just released a journal about Wiki Loves Monuments for exactly the
same audience - monuments professionals and volunteers - and thus we
already have some materials ready (in Ukrainian).
Probably the most interesting story from us would be about "making our own
lists" - not in the meaning that we are doing original research, but in the
meaning that Ukraine has strictly no cultural heritage register. Instead
several hundreds of institutions maintain their own official lists, from
the Ministry of Culture to municipalities, and they hardly communicate with
each other. The process involved sending requests to all of them,
digitising and converting these lists, collaborating with local historians
and museums who sometimes had the necessary lists and even requesting the
lists in the court when a local administration refused to provide them. As
a result, we have the most complete monument lists that ever existed in
Ukraine.
If this story does not work, we can also write about the "WLM community"
we have, i.e. people who travel, visit, picture and document monuments
during the year and upload photos of 1000+ monuments in September.
If this corresponds to what you are looking for, please tell us what do we
have to provide.
Thanks,
Mykola (NickK)

Hi,
the target audience would be heritage (monuments) professionals and
volunteers. So what we would probably want to transfer, is enthusiasm for
free knowledge, for collaborating with online movements, for sharing
information. So it would be especially nice to share a story, I think. Not
so much describing the whole competition, but taking out one aspect, and
telling a narrative. In Italy, I suspect the story about how all the
government institutions came together to work around silly legislation
would be a great story. The size of Russia and the travelling involved
might make a nice story too. I'm a little less convinced that the 'making
our own lists' would come across well, but I don't know enough about that.
Yaroslav's suggestion for taking 'we have covered everything' might work
too, in several countries. In the Netherlands, I could imagine a story
about collecting the municipal lists (this involved calling them all, and
collecting and converting them one by one).
What other stories do you know about, that we could share?
Best,
Lodewijk

My ideas about WLM in Russia would be:
- no national register of cultural heritage (we are basically making one
ourselves, and it's at least as good as different 'official' registers
created over the years)
- no freedom of panorama for sculptures (see Italy)
- amazing traveling activity of our participants (last year we offered a
special nomination for the maximum number of regions covered; the winner
uploaded photos from 31 regions (out of ~85 regions in total), which is
quite a lot considering the size of the country)
There is likely not enough space to mention everything, but you can point
me to the topic that will be most interesting for the European readers.

Hi,
OK, it seems the most interesting would be scenario 3. I have a good idea
what the story in Italy might look like :) Alexander, what would be the
story about Russia?
I think a story about Austria might be nice too? Given that it is one of
the most successful countries in terms of coverage?

Dear Lodewijk,
I can write something about WLM in Russia, but I have to know the size
limit and the time scale.

Hey folks,
it may be possible to publish a 2 page article in Europa Nostra, but the
deadline would be short. Is there anything you'd like to share in such an
article? I imagine a few scenarios:
- 1. Make a piece about WLM in the past years
- 2. Make a piece about WLM in 2015, with a short outlook for 2016. I'm
not sure if this would give the best material
- 3. Make a piece showcasing 3-5 national competitions in the wider
European region (Council of Europe - which includes Russia etc) and making
it a little more about the national stories.
I personally am a bit in favour of the third, which could let us tell a
story about national competitions, how volunteers play a role etc. But I
would need your help! Who would be able to help write a piece? What would
be your favourite approach?
Best,
Lodewijk
