Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 Organizer Survey
To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <
wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
Many thanks for sharing and participating in the Wiki Loves Monuments 2019
Participant Survey. We have received 1500 responses! We hope to make a
detailed and interesting report from the responses received.
It is now time to understand Wiki Loves Monuments from an organizer's
perspective. In order to understand the same, if you have been involved in
organizing any aspect of Wiki Loves Monuments 2019, and also during any of
2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, please fill in the Wiki Loves Monuments Organizer
Survey at
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_06eJeDmOnFe94iN
This survey asks you to tell us about you, how you organized, and your
experience. This survey will help us to learn who you are, how you
supported Wiki Loves Monuments, about what worked well, what can be
improved, about the structure and the tools you used. This survey takes
around 15 minutes to complete. Kindly make sure that you have enough time
before taking the survey.
Please share the survey link among other organizers you know from the above
mentioned years. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Krishna Chaitanya

Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators,
Thank you for the amazing work done in the past weeks and months in
organizing wiki loves Monuments 2019.
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: erinamukuta(a)gmail.com. Unless you have
agreed a different deadline with Lily (in cc), this deadline is 31 October,
23:59 UTC. Your encouraged to 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: erinamukuta(a)gmail.com , and include in the CC at
least one (additional) jury member besides yourself. Please also include
lilyofthewest.wikimedia(a)gmail.com 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 December, 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 to use the jury tool, please sign up for it(
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage#Wiki_Loves_Monument…
)
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 international jury is described on this page. 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 the
first two weeks of December (depending on the swiftness of jury report
creation and media opportunities).
We're looking forward to the judging process!
With warm regards,
Erina Mukuta

Hi all,
A belated e-mail to announce a feature that has been running for a week or
so.
Every three minutes, ErfgoedBot retrieves the list of users who uploaded,
in the last few minutes, pictures marked as participating to WLM. If an
uploader has not enabled e-mail, the bot leaves a message on their talk
page explaining that it is necessary to win a prize (unless it has already
notified that user).
You can help translating the message in more languages at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/i18nhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM-enable-email/heading/i18n
We hope that this will help to avoid situations of winning pictures with no
email enabled, only detected much later when the uploader is not around
anymore.
You can see the original requirements at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T195341
Thank you to:
* Lodewijk for the original idea
* André for the code-review
* Michael Maggs for some much needed polishing of the message prose
Hope this helps,

Hi everyone,
It is my pleasure to announce on behalf of the international team that this
year there will be three special awards for African monuments.
All images that are nominated as the top-10 by the national juries are
eligible for this prize and a dedicated jury will take a decision on this
in November. One restriction is that all three prizes have to go to a
different country.
More information about all prizes this year:
https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/awards/
Warmly, and looking forward to many exciting pictures this year.
Lodewijk
Hi everyone!
In this email I'd like to ask your attention for some maintenance. I know
this sounds boring, but it should make your life easier down the line. I'll
talk a bit about monument lists, and how to make sure that the
infrastructure that helps in categorization and validity checks works
smoothly in your country. Please make sure that for each country, at least
one person takes a good deep look at this. I'll try to answer the most
common situations. If you still have more questions, just hit 'reply' and
ask! If you find yourself in one of the situations below where we ask you
to get in touch with us then please file a task in Phabricator
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?project=wiki-…>
.
For our maintenance, we use the monuments database, where all lists of
monuments are collected (whether they are on Wikipedia or in Wikidata).
The monuments database
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database> serves two
main functions. The first is that it allows our busy robot ErfgoedBot to do
various tasks with the uploaded images such as categorising them and making
reports that local organisers can use to get the most out of the images.
The second is that it allows other developers to build tools, such as
maps (example
1 <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlm-maps/> , example 2
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/map-of-monuments/>) that can either be used to
explore the monuments or can be of assistance during the competition itself.
The data in the monuments database is harvested from either a structured
lists of monuments on a Wikimedia site or from monuments items on Wikidata.
In either case the international team must first have been made aware of
the lists/Wikidata items.
I'm not sure if my country is in the monuments database. What do I do?
To find out if your country is in the database go to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics or
https://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/api/ and look for your two letter
country code <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Current_codes> and
language code (i.e. language version of Wikipedia). If you find it then
your country is in the monuments database! If you don’t, and you believe
that it should, please get in touch.
Note that some countries may have multiple entries either for different
types of monuments or for different parts of the country.
We're transferring to Wikidata and didn't tell you yet. I thought it would
be fine right away. What do I do?
If you switched from lists of monuments to Wikidata and didn’t tell us, the
monuments database will still be based on those Wikipedia lists. Similarly
if you never had lists but put the monuments directly into Wikidata without
telling us, your data will not be in the monuments database.
For the monuments database to harvest the information from Wikidata you
will have to get in touch with us and provide us with the necessary
information to determine how to set up the harvesting. Please file a task
on Phabricator (see this example <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174333>).
Once the harvest is up and running most of the Reports (see below) will be
generated as before.
If you have switched from lists to Wikidata, it is worth thinking about how
you allow photographers to find the monuments. Will you keep your old lists
in parallel? Can you make new lists automatically generated from Wikidata,
like this Australia example
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019_in_Aus…>
(careful, some wikis may not allow such lists in the mainspace!). Can you
make use of Monumental <https://maps.wikilovesmonuments.org/>?
Our monuments have new IDs after moving to Wikidata
Did your monument IDs changed after moving to Wikidata (even if they have
just lost or gained a prefix)? Or do you now use only the Qid instead of
the old identifier? Then there are multiple things which may have to be
addressed.
The first is to ensure that your instructions for Photographers do not
reference the old IDs this year.
The commons template used to tag the images with the monument it depicts
will likely have to be updated to support the new IDs. This template is
automatically added by the Upload Campaign
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Upload…>.
If the template is already in heavy use, because of images from previous
years, it might be easier to set up a new template and update the Upload
campaign (and Monuments database settings). Get in touch with us if this is
the case.
If you are allowing uploads using both the old lists and Wikidata you may
need two separate Campaigns and two separate commons templates. Get in
touch with us if this is the case.
My country is in the monuments database, but I have no idea what to do with
that information. What maintenance pages/reports should I check?
For each of these maintenance pages/Reports mentioned below the link goes
to a page on Commons which has more detailed information and links to the
individual page(s) for your country. Each type of page updates once per day.
If your country is not on the list but you think it should, then get in
touch.
Unused images
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images>
(lists and Wikidata)
This lists any images of monuments where that monument doesn't yet have an
image on the list [or an image statement on the Wikidata item if Wikidata
is used instead of lists].
The purpose of this list is to make sure the photographs taken for WLM
actually get used.
Action item: Add the image to the list or wikidata item, and the next day
it should disappear from the report.
Unknown fields
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unknown_fields>
(lists only)
Every day ErfgoedBot processes your lists of monuments. If it encounters an
unexpected template parameter it make a report of it. While this page
seldom changes it’s worth having it on your watchlist, just in case.
The purpose of this list is to give organisers a quick way of spotting when
someone has accidentally broken one of the templates or to warn you about
new fields which the monuments database has not yet been made aware of.
Action item: Fix the broken template instances
Images without id
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Images_withou…>
(lists and Wikidata)
This lists any images which have been uploaded without providing an id
linking it to a specific monument. The bot will try to guess the id when
possible.
The purpose of this list is to make sure that each photograph taken makes
it clear which monument it depicts. The earlier these are caught the bigger
the chance that the photographer can add the missing information.
Action item: unidentified images could be disqualified. As national
organizer, it's up to you to either fix the missing number, contact the
uploader or to disqualify the image.
Hope this helps. Just reply if there are any questions.
Cheers,
André
Hi all,
(First email of several regarding available tooling)
The WLM international team maintains a statistics tool for Wiki Loves -like
contests.
It is ready for 2019. Data is refreshed every 15 minutes.
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019>
(Currently there is only Ireland because Ireland already started a week
earlier :)
If you want to know more about the tools, there is documentation at
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Wikiloves>
== What does this bring me? ==
The tool, beyond the “country race”, provides each competition with:
* A day-to-day table of image uploads and joiners (suploader who uploaded
their first image on that day). <
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019/Ireland>
* A sorted table of all uploaders, their upload count (as part of the
competition) and file usage, and their registration date <
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/monuments/2019/Ireland/users>
These two views may be helpful to gauge the health of your competition
== There's a problem! ==
If you notice any issue with the tool (bug, data missing, etc.), please
file me a task on Phabricator.
<
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=tool…
>
Hope this helps. Happy to answer any question.

Hi everybody!
starting during the Wikimania Hackathon we created responsive
Page-template that can be adapted for the local WLM landingpages (the
pages, the banner is targeted to). You'll find it here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentati…
Feel free to copy the wikitext source to your desired lemma and start to
translate and customize it.
This landing page is based on a set of templates and stylesheets, that
are not jet documented. But I think you'll get the purpose of each
element while observing it's usage in the landing page. If anyone is
interested in helping me with the documentation, that would be great.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLXpage
Currently it is only the landingpage itself. But I am working on
subpages and a Navigation as well. Hopefully that will be usable within
the next few days. I'll give you a note.
I hope that this page helps you to prepare your countries competion?!
Best wishes for the pre-WLM sprint // Martin
DISCLAIMERS:
1) The whole thing should work on mobile and has been tested against the
Vector and Minerva Skin. But it still is in early beta stage - so please
don't be too angry if there are any unclean spots or display errors.
I'll try to do some quality assurance before the competition starts,
which will automatically tile in wherever the templates are used.
2) The Template-Styles StyleSheet is generated via SASS. So if you have
any suggestions concering enhancements and bugs, don't do it yourself
but contact me. Otherwise your changes maybe overwritten by the next update.
3) I didn't invest any work into rtl-Support so far. It may work though,
but please don't blame me if it breaks.
