Hoi, What is your aim? What do YOU hope to achieve with such comments and do you really contribute in this way?
You may be as you like, but does it mean that we further our cause in this way. I have not seen one positive comment. It is negativity galore and it pains you in a corner. Thanks, GerardM
I missed the t deliberately.

"success of WLE Brasil 2015"
Success for whom?
*For the Wikimedia Commons **it was totally **innocuous. *
Less then 0,16% was a good quality image, including several snapshots (mobile made), downsized images....; the retention probably will follow WLE BR 2014 and goona be very close to 0. No work was developed in conjunction with the WCommons, and could created a problem, people got paid with thousands for bad photos, and volunteers there producing real content... And this money, more then 30'000 USD, come from WMF for the WLE 2014/15 and WLM in Brazil, and in the other hand, WP-en removed hundreds of people getting paid for contribution, how it's different? Oh yeah, the money did not came from donations...
*For the Wikipedia it was barely nothing.*
The volume of images used was very low, and even in the list of winners, a lot of those images do not have any education purpose, or do not properly illustrates the site. And very low involvement of the community, retention was none.
For the "off-line community" , :D...
Were are this people? The other coordinator named in the website [1], are not even close to be involved with the community, check his FB:[2], very active, none WLE/WLM publications... Commons: [3], any help with this contests. People listed in the WUG group did not signed by themselves[4]...
And " including contributions from teachers and students..."??? "educational program."??? I think that "they" are hidden it in a very deep place, not even "their" website have any clues fof that[5], or "their" Facebook [6], Meta [7]... "Their" partners are not related to educational programmes [8], most of them are related to photography, for obvious reasons. as far we can see, "they" are just burn WMF money to make this contests (for ???)...
*Two observation:*
.ORG.BR are websites restricted to ONG registered in legal terms here in Brazil, or they already have a legal association and are not telling to AffCom, or they don't have that and is putting the Wikimedia name in some scheme circumventing laws...
*The scope of the group, which can be found on their application, is "to support the participation of teachers, researchers and employees of several national institutions that participate in the Education Program of Wikimedia in Brazil, aiming to integrate the academic community to the Wikimedia movement, creating a more friendly and responsive environment for the development of projects, research, contests, events and other activities." *[9]
How this contests are related to this scope?
Again
Success for whom?

Hello my friends,
After many years of Wiki Loves Monuments around the world, finally we organized an edition of that important photo contest in Brasil.
Following the success of WLE Brasil 2015(supported by our fellows from Wikimedia Ukraine) and counting with a lot of support from Romaine we finally completed that task after years of procrastination.
The WLM Brasil 2015 was organized by the Wikimedia Community Brazilian Group of Education and Research, including contributions from teachers
and
students in a new approach for our educational program.
Teachers and students from local universities supported us with marketing/communication and in the final process of pictures filtering
for
the judges evaluation.
You can see the final result of WLM Brasil and the winners at
