Hi all,
as a kind reminder, please all make sure that you have registered wikilovesmonuments.yourcountry :) I understand that at least in one country the domain has already been hijacked, so if you haven't done so yet (and even if you want to use a translation in your country) please make sure to register it. If you do not have the funds for that, please contact me and we will find another way.
We can always worry about what to put on the site or where to link it to later.
Best,
Lodewijk
As far as I understand, it is not possible to register that domain name in Portugal, due to legal constraints.
Best, Gonçalo

could you perhaps elaborate a bit on that? Is there a way other people/chapters can help with that?

Wikipedia has an article about .pt in several languages :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pt includes: "The name must match the owner's name or the trademark or business name", which may be what Gonçalo alludes to.

Exactly, Ole. The good thing is that it will be difficult for anyone else to claim that website as well.

WIkimedia Portugal may register the trademark "wiki loves monuments" ?

Its a bit expensive, and i dont really think it is that important, since (like Goethe said) it will be difficult for anyone else to register the website.

Yeah, I can imagine that the domain is not really worth the >1000 euro that a trademark application costs :)
Thanks for the update though, it clarifies a lot. Lodewijk

It is actually registered in Poland and transfered to general WikiLovesMonuments page. We have also registered
which is currently under construction.
