Hello, Just a friendly reminder that we are still looking for input for the DEI Research. The International Team would really like to know what problems you have encountered in participating with Wiki Loves Monuments, or have even kept you from organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments competition in your country at all! We are very interested in knowing the difficulties on various local levels: was it for instance possible for you to get heritage lists from government or appointed officials? And were you able to transfer them to Wikipedia, and/or Wikidata? What were the copyright/jurisdictional issues you faced? Were there any other technical difficulties, and did you find the information on Commons you were looking for? While we try to keep the rules as simple as possible, we very much realize that every country may face specific issues, and to improve the WLM competition for the years to come, we really need your input. Please reach out to Mesha (in cc:), or feel free to email me if you are unsure.
