Dear organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 all around the world,
The team of WLM international would like to learn how the last edition
of WLM worked for you, what worked well or even excellent, or where you
think things can be improved. We prepared a survey to collect your
answers and ideas:
*https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2aH8XbgJgy9VpQO*
All questions are optional. Filling in the answers may take about 10 or
15 minutes (also depending on how much you would like to share).
Please note that no information that could be used to identify
participants of the survey will be made public, see also the privacy
statement here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Survey…
Thank you for taking the time!
Kind regards,
Manfred on behalf of the team of Wiki Loves Monuments international
[This email contains important information on how you can submit the
10 nominees of your country to the international finale and the
deadlines. Please forward this to your coordinators if need be.]
Dear national coordinator, jury coordinator,
Thank you for an amazing job in the past weeks and months in
organizing what seems to have been yet again an amazing competition in
almost 40 countries! It's great to see all the beautiful images that
have been submitted.
As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is
based on a federalized model: there's a national competition in each
country, with a national organizing team, a national jury and national
winners. The national jury determines up to (maximum) 10 images that
will be submitted to the international finale.
These ten images should be submitted via email to the international
jury coordinator before the deadline: rodelarwiki(a)gmail.com. Unless
you have agreed a different deadline with Krishna Chaitanya (in cc),
this deadline is 5 December, 23:59 UTC. But if you like me, please
send them at least a few days before that time. *Submissions after
this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale. When
submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into
account*:
* Submit no more than ten images per (national) competition. It is OK
to submit less images, for example if you don't find enough images of
high quality.
* Submit the images to: rodelarwiki(a)gmail.com, and include in the CC
at least one (additional) jury member besides yourself. Please also
include Krishna Chaitanya in the cc.
* If the results are still not public (if you plan to announce them
later publicly), please add the planned announcement date. Please note
that we will announce the international winners in January, and will
not wait for national announcements.
* Submit for each image: URL, File name on Wikimedia Commons and Author username
* Check basic information about the images. It is NOT possible to
replace finalists after the deadline!
** that the author has activated their email function on Wikimedia
Commons. If we cannot email the user there, they may automatically
forfeit any prize. You can help them by posting a message on their
talk page, or tracking them down through social media.
** that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also
described in English)
** that the image is freely licensed
If you want, there are opportunities to share your national winners
also on the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us
about this - more information about this soon.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation. After all nominees have been
received, this will result in a pool of some 350-430 images for the
international jury to consider. The jury will first rate all images
with 1-5 stars, from which a top-40/60 will be considered. Then, the
jurors will have the opportunity to remove images from the selection,
which they consider unfit. Finally, they are asked to rank their
top-25 images, and share their reasoning. We will create a jury report
based on this information. We expect to announce the results in
January.
We're looking forward to the judging process!
With warm regards,
Rubén Ojeda
International jury coordinator, Wiki Loves Monuments 2022

(Apologies for cross-posting!)
The Community Resources team is inviting you to an exciting opportunity to
be a committee member as part of the grants programs' participatory
grantmaking practice.
Participatory grantmaking ensures that resourcing community efforts in the
movement is diverse, equal and inclusive. This practice aligns with
movement strategy recommendation 4. Ensure Equity in Decision-making:
Establishing shared responsibility and accountability for decision-making
and distribution of resources.
Serving committee members will have the opportunity to inform and advise
funding decisions and proactively share recommendations and mentorship to
support grantees worldwide in their development, growth, and sustainability
strategies; that contribute to a world in which every single human being
can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
You will also strengthen your capacity in participatory decision-making
processes while learning about our community's incredible work and the
different contexts that influence their work.
Here is statement by a current committee member, Thepwnco, on their
experience;
My experiences with Wikimedia Foundation grant programs have been very
rewarding, and I feel fortunate to have served as a volunteer committee
member since 2014. Grant programs contribute to equity and sustainability
in our movement through funding unmet and under-resourced needs. Under our
participatory approach to grantmaking, volunteers play a key role in
decision-making. Volunteers also help support and strengthen community-led
initiatives by reviewing grant proposals for impact and providing feedback
and other support to prospective grantees. But being a volunteer committee
member is much more than just a way to share your knowledge and insights,
it’s also an incredible opportunity to learn and be inspired by the breadth
of amazing and innovative work taking place across the movement and in
diverse communities and regions.
Here are the committees that are currently soliciting new members:
* Project Grants:* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project
** Project Grants Committee reviewing Community Organizing proposals: This
committee reviews proposals for projects that inspire and coordinate
volunteers, via campaigns, training, contests and other forms of community
organizing. You can learn more about Project Grants here:
** Project Grants Committee reviewing Research and Software proposals: This
committee reviews proposals for projects that create or maintain software
that supports the Wikimedia movement, or that conduct research to answer
questions important for Wikimedia communities and projects. *Simple Annual
Plan Grants: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Simple/About
** Simple APG Committee: This committee reviews proposals to fund a group
or organization's programs and operating expenses for 12 months. The groups
and organizations need to have experience managing programs and grant
funding already.
Orientation and training is provided for new members, and you don’t have to
have previous experience to sign up.
Committee responsibilities include:
- Providing review and constructive feedback to help support applicants
and strengthen grant proposals
- Evaluating and recommending promising proposals for funding
- Helping recruit and spread the word about grants
- Optional: Becoming a project advisor for proposals that interest you
Eligibility requirements for committee members can be found here:

To: <affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
We are officially one week away from Wikipedia’s 20th birthday! 🎉 Please
see below for the latest updates about the celebration and ways to support
and participate:
Virtual birthday party
For Wikipedia's 20th birthday party [1] on 15 January, we'd love to hear
from you, highlight your work, and have your help to spread the word. Here
is how to get involved:
1.
Record a video saying “Happy Birthday” or birthday wishes for Wikipedia
in your language for our birthday video montage. You can record and
submit a short clip (under 30 seconds) via your phone or computer by going
to the Tribute webpage [2]. The deadline to submit a video is 12 January.
*
2.
If you have a Wikimedia-related fun fact or accomplishment from the
movement that you would like us to highlight in the celebration, please add
it to the talk page on Meta [3], and we’ll highlight these during the
celebration.
3.
Invite your followers to the event on social media. Here’s a sample post
to adapt for your channels: Happy early 20th birthday to @Wikipedia, the
world's largest free online encyclopedia! Join us at their virtual party on
Friday, 15 January to celebrate Wikipedia and the people who make it
possible. Details: link
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/01/01/you-are-invited-to-wikipedias-20th-bi…>
#Wikipedia20
Happy birthday videos to use at your event!
Check out the Meta page [4] for multiple resources that you can use for
your local birthday celebrations, including a birthday video message [5] from
Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Katherine Maher and video clips of
happy birthday in multiple languages.
Social media: #Wikipedia20
Visit the updated social media section on Meta [6] for posts to share on
your channels before and on 15 January. These are the main things to know:
-
Please use #Wikipedia20 and tag @Wikipedia in all posts so we can help
share them
-
Before 15 January, we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading
the word about the virtual event [1]
-
On 15 January, the Wikimedia Foundation will officially begin
celebrating Wikipedia Day at 7:00 am UTC [7]. You can see our content
plans on Meta. Please retweet and share our posts.
-
On 15 January, please send Wikipedia a happy birthday message and
encourage your followers to do the same. Link to the commemorative website (
20.wikipedia.org) and include celebratory graphics [8].
-
If you would like additional amplification from the Wikimedia and/or
Wikipedia social media accounts of materials you are sharing, please
complete this form [9] with the relevant details.
FYI — paid video promotions
The Foundation will also be promoting videos that celebrate the birthday
through paid digital media on a variety of non-Wikimedia websites. These
will start on 15 January and continue for about four weeks. The plan is to
reach existing Wikipedia readers in Nigeria and the United States with the
following two goals:
1.
To inform them about the Wikimedia movement, broadly defined
2.
To increase awareness of the humans that power the Wikimedia sites
As a reminder, you can stay up-to-date by watching the Wikipedia 20
discussion page [10], and joining the Facebook group [11] and Telegram
group [12].
