En Colombia no tenemos listas de coordenadas. Por ello, quisiera fomentar que los participantes aporten las coordenadas de los monumentos que puedan. ¿Alguna idea de alguna herramienta que pueda usar para hacerlo fácilmente (por ejemplo, cómo podríamos usar Google Maps / OpenStreetMap para marcar las ubicaciones, compartirla s y extraer sus coordenadas)? In Colombia we don't have coordinates lists. Because of that, I would like to encourage the contest participantes to add all the coordinates they can.

2012/9/3 Maarten Dammers &lt;maarten(a)mdammers.nl&gt; Is this really, really necessary? As the contest is running, I would like to keep changes at a minimum, and I see that everything is just working fine (except the Android app; already filled a bug about it). _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

2012/9/3 Lodewijk &lt;lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org&gt; I may try that, indeed. The problem is that, anyway, one would need to do changes in the bots/database/etc. to make them point to the new lists, so I think that problems may still arise and be noticed by the participants. What I was thinking to do is to keep the contest lists where they are and create copies for Wikipedia (similar to your suggestion, but the official contest lists would still be the external ones). I don't think that both things (having the lists in an external wiki and adding pics to Wikipedia) are mutually exclusive. Why wouldn't be possible to add the pics to the articles and existing Wikipedia lists while keeping the contest lists where they are? _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

The bots look at Wikipedia and so do the users.

I can't even edit the lists on your wiki!

Done. Every list is now in Wikipedia. They are listed under the following category: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor%C3%ADa:Anexo:Monumentos_nacionales_de_…. I guess the bots must be updated now? After everything is fine, I will direct the participants to those lists directly from the website. Racso

That would be great. We talked about producing a version of those maps with OSM instead of Google maps, but it seems harder to use OSM maps.

Added Ukraine and Serbia: * http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/serbia/ * http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/ukraine/ You both have coordinates out of your countries. Fix them or remove them from lists, and map will be updated in the next days, and will be zoom in your country.

Thank you very much, Emilio! But it seems the tool has a problem - it doesn't recognize Cyrillic in monuments names. While clicking on monuments you should see something like that: *????????? <http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/??????????_????????>* (????, ID: 80-382-0591). Regards, Andrij

Could you fix Belarus as well? And please update the coordinates - fixed the monuments that had coords outside the country.
