Thanks for spotting, Michael. I don't seem to be able to find the list of countries however, this is somewhat hidden. Where did you locate it? It is quite crucial for understanding...
Another very practical mishap I note: for the retention, they only seem to consider Commons... which is odd. I would definitely include /all projects/ for this! In earlier evaluations, these numbers proved to be much higher, which makes sense as most of these people are only occasional photographers, and their actual interest lies in the content (monuments, art, etc). Again assumptions.

For some reason the 2014 WLM contest in the UK has not been included in the reported data.

Lodewijk lodewijk@effeietsanders.org 2 May 2015 12:26 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 _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
