Hi, I can put here a little about WLM in Ukrainian. Just as in Brazil, our monuments appear in lists of different levels with different IDs. Moreover, official IDs are not unique through the state and may repeat in different regions. We created our own system of giving IDs to monuments. We would like to save them because the system we cteated is very convenient. But, being original research, these IDs prevent us from transferring all the lists to Wikidata. If you have official IDs, use them (I guess). If there are several of the them for the same monument, it may be reasonable to take the ID from the list with the highest rank. If you can advise us what to do with on-wiki-created IDs concerning Wikidata, I will be happy :) ​I don't speak on behalf of WLM UA orgs, just on my own.​ ​Best​ *--* *Vira Motorko* m: +380667740499 | f: vira.motorko <https://www.facebook.com/vira.motorko> | w: Ата <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ата> Are you saving your documents in free formats? ;) Help save natural resources – please think twice before printing this e-mail or any attachments.

Best approach is to use ID from higuest level. You can have internally several IDs in the template, for your control or for linking to different dababases if they are available online, but show only an unique ID.

Nice to see other fellows form South America and around here. As we are started talking about the unique identifier for the monuments, I would like to ask the group about the following situation: in Brazil we have monuments listed by the National Institute of Cultural Heritage Preservation, by the States and the municipalities - and sometimes, a monument can be at the three lists at the same time, with different numbers. We know that the system used for the competition only accepts one number to identifies the monument, but maybe it would be nice if it could afford the information that a buiding is not listed only as National Cultural Heritage, but in other levels as well (when it is the case). For now, we are thinking about removing fromt the lists the monuments that are repeated, i.e., when a monument is already on the national list, it wont appear on the State list and so on. But we dont know if it is the best thing to do. Is there someone here in the list who has already dealt with a situation like this? Could you share with us how you solve the problem that the system only identifies a monument by only one number? Best regards, Juliana 2016-07-19 5:36 GMT-03:00 Lodewijk <lodewijk@effeietsanders.org<mailto:lodewijk@effeietsanders.org>>: (starting a new thread, that way it's easier to find) the identifier of a monument usually originates from the 'authority' (the government, usually). There are some good examples here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016/Lists_… If that doesn't answer your question, please let us know! Best, Lodewijk 2016-07-19 10:32 GMT+02:00 Olushola Olaniyan <olaniyanshola15@gmail.com<mailto:olaniyanshola15@gmail.com>>: Great!!! One of the questions that I need this platform to answer for us is in the area of ID for monument. Where does the ID comes from, is it the WLM or from the originating country of the monuments.

+ André Hi all, Below you can find my comments: *Brazil* Juliana, it is okay for your monuments to belong to multiple lists. In your case, you can create three top level entry points for lists by the National Institute of Cultural Heritage Preservation, the States and the Municipalities. This way, participants may have multiple entry points to a single monument, which is fine. :) This being said, please document this clearly, as when the data is going to be transferred to Wikidata, we may need to be aware of this. *Ukraine* Vira, this is an important question and something we should address with the Wikidata community. :) André works on transitioning the data to Wikidata and it would be great to hear his thoughts here. *Nigeria* Shola, you are already being helped by others which is great. :) Three more things to share: 1) Please make sure that there is no official monument ID. If you have doubts, please ask a bit more. It's best for us to use the official numbers when they exist. :) 2) You can read about the use of unique identifiers and how to define them here <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016/Lists_of_monuments#What_to_keep_in_mind_with_creating_a_list_of_monuments.3F>. That link refers to the same link Vicenç mentioned earlier and it tells you a bit more as well. 3) In the case of Nigeria, my suggestion is for you to wait for Romaine to work with you to create the lists on Wikipedia (Follow up at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140583). After that, I'd like us to have a discussion with André to see what the best way to create IDs for Nigeria is. We used to recommend creating IDs to countries when no official monument ID existed, however, now that Wikidata is more present in our ecosystem, it's not clear that we should do that. We may want to create the lists on Wikipedia first, make sure that each monument on the list has a corresponding item in Wikidata, and then potentially use that Wikidata item number as the unique ID for the monument.
