Dear organizers of the Wiki Loves Monuments Contest. In past days we've been surprised by the number of paticipants in Wiki Loves Monuments Czech Republic. We participate for the first time; about 200 contestants uploaded cca 5200 pictures up to date (we expect total sum of 11400 in October). However, we are looking for a way how to find out which pictures will be in the final category - without any over/underexposed ones, those without ecyclopedic value or those who are blurred or simply somehow bad. We've been thinking about a page that will display a limited number of pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments, randomized of course. There will be a voting element similar to "Like button" linked to each picture. First several hundred or a thousand of pictures chosen (with most "likes") will be then presented to the official committe. I would like to know what is your idea of chosing "good" or "valuable" pictures out of several thousand, especailly in a situation when there are only 3 people in the organizing team of WLM (CZ). After a long discussion we've come to this one. However, it requires a tool (the page with the voting element) and some time (to wait some time when the results will have some reasonable value, i.e. there wouldn't be 1 or 2 votes for a picture, but let's say 10, 15 or 30. I would like to know if is such a tool (or a similar one) available in the Wikimedia universe. Thank you. Jan Loužek - Aktron Wikimedia Czech Republic
I think all the participating countries have the same question. Yesterday we talk with our friends of tech part of Wikimedia Mexico and they are ready for work in a tool for the evaluation and juries. What can we do?

Kaldari built a reviewer tool that we're using in the US contest to make an initial pass to remove photos that don't meet the main criteria of judging. It's very useful and fast, but he hasn't had the time to make it universal for other countries. I'm sure he could use some help ;)

You should probably start by reading the pas conversations? Here's a small selection of them (only first post of each): http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-June/003084.htm... http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-June/003093.htm... http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-July/003338.htm... http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-August/003380.h... http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-August/003863.h...

Hey
If someone could create a system for collecting votes I could add a like button to this page [1] that when clicked increments the votes. I think this would give you what you want..?

It's great for presenting images, but I don't think that's the best way to browse the photos in a jury way :)
However, the problem of getting random people to vote' up images' is bigger than just counting clicks. I listed some problems before on a similar thread.
