Argentom, only to demonstrate how wrong and misinformed you are, the guy you cited on your email is a very active contributor with more than 50.000 edits on the main domain of pt.wikipedia and near 100.000 edits including all domains. Thinking in personal privacy, it is not a good approach to point here names and social media accounts, that is why I will not identify the user name of this very important contributor of our movement.
As you can read on the official announcement http://www.wikimedia.org.br/wiki-loves-monuments-brasil-2015-vencedores.html all the pictures uploaded for WLM was evaluated and filtered by teachers and students of the University http://www.ucs.br/portais/curso164/ under the coordination of the Prof. Edson Correa. All press releases and content published and sent to our media partners was created and revised by the teacher Prof. Dr. Marcio Gonçalves and students from a local university in Rio de Janeiro.
I know you're just trying to attack me personally, but what you are doing is disqualifying all the efforts of all Wikimedia movement responsible for devising and organizing competitions like the WLE and WLM around the world and for that you have no contributions and much less support any group that can give you legitimacy for this.
I recommend to you to change your strategy and try to do something positive for the Wikimedia Movement and for your life.
Your votes against and all that hate speech will not take you anywhere.
Kind regards
Rodrigo Padula Coordenador de Projetos Grupo Wikimedia Brasileiro de Educação e Pesquisa http://www.wikimedia.org.br 21 99326-0558

"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?
