Samat: unfortunately they didn't consider it relevant to post here - but thanks for sharing it!
Also unfortunately, this is during working hours, so I will not participate (probably like most people in the European timezone).
Also a sidenote: I may sound a bit harsh here, so to clarify: I appreciate the work everybody does, but I also especially appreciate the work all the WLM folks did. It hurts me to see it simplified to a level that statistics are no longer making sense to me. This is however not the first time I have shared this criticism with the evaluation team, and yet the WMF seems to insist that it is a valid assumption. I have little hope for improvement here, especially considering their lack of approach towards the key demographic (the organizers).
Best, Lodewijk

Hi all,
it seems that the WMF evaluation department has once again put together an evaluation of Wiki Loves Monuments. Out of curiosity, were any of the organizers involved in this? A quick glance suggests some factual errors, and again a big focus on assuming WLM is a consistent project, that is similar in each country (while in reality it is a diverse collection of projects, tailored to the needs of each country, by its community) and with a focus towards number crunching.
Statements that begin with 'the average Wiki Loves Monuments implementation/contest' make my eyes bleed... Did anyone make a more thorough analysis of the report?
Best, Lodewijk
