Hi,
When I go to
wikilovesmonuments.com I still get redirected to wikilovesmonuments.eu.
wikilovesmonuments.org doesn't seem to have that problem. Should/Can this be fixed?
Mvg,
Bas

Hi John,
We (Maarten and me) just did an estimate for internationally, and we think we'd end up
at ~50% of the organizing volunteers to be students in college, high school or university.
Personally I dont think you resolve that by extending - they would still have to take the
time off from studying.
Also, like I said, I would personally prefer to organize another contest in June (be it
writing or photographing) probably in a different subset of countries. However, for
communication purposes etc would it be better to have them at least a month apart.
Finally, I think that for communication purposes it is preferrable that you run the
contest a whole month, and not differently. It is much easier to communicate 'in
April' than 'From 15 April till 15 May'.

Well, we are of course open to continue with the contest in May as originally planned (you
are of course right about the communication part). But if the experience when organizing
WLM is that students are doing a large part of the work, then we could adjust it according
to any of the three suggestions that I outlined below. We still haven't set anything
in stone. How large part of the ones that have been active in organizing WLM are students?
Does anyone have an idea?
Cheers,
John

Are exams in May that big of a problem? For a lot of people June (the month before
vacations) is the month to finish a lot of work. Lodewijk mentioned the organisers having
exams in May, but shouldn't most organizing happen before the contest? I think full
months is the easiest for communicating.
Greetings,
Bas

Hi Lodewijk,
I like your ideas, especially the one about Wiki Loves Food which I think could be a
really good mini-contest. However, this year I hope that you will share your expertise
with WLPA! :-)
You have a really good point about the exams in May and I have been thinking hard about
your suggestions.
At least in Sweden June would not work very well as a lot of people take their Summer
vacation already by then and all the GLAMs that we might cooperate with would most likely
be running at half speed that month (at least for the second half of June). Also I believe
that we should not put WLPA too close to WLM as some of the organizers might work with
both.
The problem with March is that it is too early for us to be able to organize everything in
time and also in the Nordic countries March is not a very suitable month for outdoor
photographing because of the bad weather.
That leaves April, but when looking at how Europe's weather was this year during
Spring I am hesitant to put it entirely in April as well, also we would loose an entire
month of time to organize it by moving it there.
To give us a bit more time to get everything in place, avoid the worst weather and make it
possible for students to participate I therefor have three suggestion:
1. We could start the contest on the 15th of April and end it on the 15th of May; or
2. Extend the contest backward and have it from the 15th of April until the end of May,
i.e. having it for 1.5 months instead of 1 month; or
3. Extend the contest forward from the 1st of May to the 15th of June, i.e. having it for
1.5 months instead of 1 month.
What do you all think about these suggestions? Which one would you think makes most sense?
All the best,
John

Hi,
interesting announcement :) I myself have been thinking of organizing a new 'Wiki
Loves' in June 2013 (I don't think May is a good month due to the exams everywhere
- and students will make up a significant part of the organizers), probably first in the
Netherlands. I am still doubting between some 20 different ideas which were shared by
several people; ranging from a relaunch of the good old 'Wiki Loves Art' (it would
be preferable if WLPA could get a name that is not as easily confused with WLA) all the
way to a Wiki Loves Food (photograph food items, dishes etc in your country/region) or
Wiki Loves Concepts (photograph concepts like 'love', 'community',
'neighborhood', 'philosophy' etc as explanatory and useful as possible).
Wiki Loves Public Art is amongst those ideas too (as are non-photo contests), although I
should admit personally it is not my favorite :)
So... would it perhaps make sense to do WLPA one or even two months earlier? (March/April)
That way it would leave three months per year to do a contest (but imho running two in a
country is already quite a challange!
Best,Lodewijk

Thanks John,
It's exciting to see this getting off the ground. I want to remind that
WikiProject Public Art was established two years ago as a model for
photographing, researching, and creating articles about Public Artworks. It
was established under the leadership of Richard McCoy, conservator of
objects at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and Jennifer Mikulay, a public
arts scholar and professor, both of which are Wikipedians in their own
right. While the Wikipedia Loves Public Art project may be photo-based,
the resources developed within WikiProject Public Art could prove useful -
and I hope that the wikiproject can plan a role.
I admit that the image guide and some of the process can be US-centric, if
only to keep us sane in developing this model to start. But it can be a
good jumping off point.
With Jane's suggestion of article-creation, I wanted to specifically point
out that WikiProject:Public Art has as its core goal the creation of
articles about Public Art, rather than image gathering. So if you're
interested in that being a component of Wikipedia Loves Public Art, there
are step by step guides that could be useful resources.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_art
This would also be useful to share on the public GLAM list as well! cc'ing
now : ).
Let me know if you have any questions,
Lori

Hi Jane,
I am happy that you think that it sounds interesting!
The idea is to have similar rules and structure as
WLM, e.g. that the
artworks should have a unique ID to be part of the
contest. I think that we
should not limit ourselves more right now until we
know
what type of data we can get our hands on in the
different countries.
I personally feel rather hesitant to create a
specific definition for
the contest that would differ from the official ones,
that feel a lot
like original research to me and also it could make it
harder to use
the data later on, as we then might have to sort out
certain categories
of artworks. That however mean that what exactly are
considered public art
then most likely will differ a bit between different
countries, and perhaps
between different regions. To get in contact with
relevant parties that
have the needed data is therefor a first step and if
you are interested in
contacting people/institutions in your country that
would be very helpful!
Also, I think that events focusing on connecting the
pictures to Wikipedia
would be fantastic and perhaps one could organize them
to take place either
at the same time or during the summer. If you have any
cool ideas that you
would like to work on please let me know!
All the best,
John

JohnGreat initiative! Thanks for the tip, and good
point about May vs.
September regarding WLM, but these can easily be
linked together, meaning
Wiki(p/m)edians can take pictures of statues and other
public art whilst
working from a list of monument numbers...
To be clear, are you going to keep your Public art
idea like WLM's, in the
sense that "only photos with a unique id taken
during the competition month
will be eligible for a prize"? WLM is basically
just a Wikimedia Commons
project, and the fruits of that project can be used by
Wikipedia, but there
is no Wikipedia part of the competition as it is
today.
Right off the top of my head I can think of lots of
other ways to track
public art, such as historical artworks commissioned
by a governing body
that once were on Square X and were replaced by
artwork Y for reason Z,
etc. This kind of tracking would require various
references and would need
to be integrated somehow with Wikipedia, I think, as
pictures alone don't
tell the whole story, the way pictures of physical
monuments taken for WLM
do.
In other words, what is your precise, identifiable and
verifiable
definition of "public art", rather than
"sculptures, mosaics, mural
paintings, memorials and place specific installments
in the public space"?

Hallo everybody,
We have just started working with the Wiki Loves
Public Art (WLPA)[1]
contest that will focus on getting pictures on
sculptures, mosaics,
mural paintings, memorials and place
specific installments in the public space. If
you are interested in public art, enjoy organizing
events, think that it
is cool and interesting to work with projects that
increase cooperation
between the Chapters, or would like to work towards
GLAM in your
country, well then this would be something for you! We
are looking for
all kinds of volunteers and especially for national
coordinators that
can help us get things going in the countries and
coordinate the
volunteer efforts!
As
we don't want to intrude upon the fantastic Wiki
Loves Monument contest we
are thinking about holding WLPA during the
month of May in 2013. However, May will hopefully give
us enough time to
work on this and provide good enough weather
so that the pictures look nice and people think that
it is fun to go out
and find the art works.
We are of course aware of the tricky copyright
legislations in
different countries but thanks to the fact that this
is organized
together with Europeana (
www.europeana.eu) we have the
possibility to use Europeana's team of judicial
experts in finding out
answers on some of the questions. So if you have a
question that is not
answered on Commons:Freedom of Panorama[2] please
write up your
questions on relevant judicial matters on our list and
we will forward
it to Europeana.[3]
Both me and the project leader, Lennart Guldbrandsson,
will be at
Wikimania and we would love to met and talk to you
about this in person!
I hope to hear from you soon!
All the best,
John
