Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Update from WLM Israel
amazing! Best, Lodewijk 2012/10/29 Sophie Österberg sophie.osterb...@wikimedia.se Wow Deror! I am amazed by all your effort into making WLM such a big and joyous event, great! / Sophie Wikimedia Sverige Jag ber om ursäkt om jag är kort. Detta skickas från min mobil / Sophie Den 29 okt 2012 20:36 skrev Deror Avi deror_...@yahoo.com: Dear all, I wish to update regarding WLM in Israel. The competition took place during the month of Tishrei (mid September to mid October) , during which 6,097 images were uploaded to the commons. The most photographed monuments were, as expected, the Bahai Gardens in Haifa, the Tower of David in Jerusalem, and Jaffa Port. During the month of the competition we also held 20 events including two photography workshops (sponsored by the Galitz school of photography), 18 guided tours (sponsored by the Council for Heritage Sites in Israel), and two tours at the Israel Museum (the museum allowed free entrance to the participants). about 400 people participated in the events. Our volunteers chaperoned the tours ready to answer all questions about the competition. 500 people visited our both at a photography fare, 800 people wrote to us requesting information about the tours, 600 joined our mailing lists. We also had 20 newspaper articles (some of which internet newspapers and some printed), participated in 6 radio shows and 2 television programs, talking about the competition. Following the competition a Portal was created in Hebrew Wikipedia to host the lists of sites, and the best images taken. As to the judging - our volunteers shifted through the 6,000 uploads choosing 250 photographs for the 9 judges (three professional photographers, two of which from the Galitz School, two professional site conservation experts from the National council, and four Wikipedians). The judges rated the photographs choosing 30, and then from those chose the top 10. The three images that got the highest points will receive monetary prices (NIS 5,000 (about $1,250), NIS 3,000 and NIS 2,000). The Israeli Internet Association conducted its own judging allowing the general public to vote on its most favorite image, which will receive NIS 2,000. The results will be published at our awards ceremony which will take place on 7th November and will include a tour of old Jaffa, a cocktail and an exhibition of the 10 winning photographs and the people's choice. Following the awards ceremony, the exhibition will be hung at the gallery of the Diezengoff Centre shopping mall in Tel Aviv until 1st December. We wish to thank our volunteers who helped with the tours, and with creating the lists of monuments (as you may recall we had to create the lists for the competition - none exited before it). We especially want to thank Yan who has created the judging system used by us and other countries. We further wish to thank the international competition team for their support and assistance, and their patience with our many questions.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Language of the survey
Hi Jane, could you provide a link to more information about that first survey? I'm a bit surprised that someone organized a survey like that without contacting us at all... (and quite inpolite at the least) Thanks, Lodewijk 2012/10/28 Jane Darnell jane...@gmail.com Thanks for the quick reply! My preferences on commons are in English, as are my preferences in Google chrome (my browser of choice). I checked the link again and just noticed the languages on the left. I guess I was expecting a non-wiki survey site. Just to be clear, this was my second WLM survey - I filled out another (from an MIT student?) last week. That was in English, which was why I was surprised. I can't remember what language I used last year.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Help make contact with user
Hi Cristian, I agree with the principle. That being said, it is up to the local organizers to interpret it to some extent. Many monument photos have not been identified by the uploader because they couldn't find their way in the lists - and they were later identified by the volunteers. In my opinion, that doesn't disqualify the image, because in the end it has been identified. However, this rule does put the burden with the uploader. If for whatever reason our volunteers cannot find the monument either (bad description?) or they are just lazy - that is his problem and we can disqualify the image. The same goes imho for the email address requirement. We don't specify /when/ it has to be given. If the local organizers are willing to put in that effort I'm happy if they contact him otherwise and ask him to activate the email address. However, it does put the burden with the participant - if it takes too long for the opinion of the organizers, they can disqualify the user from receiving a prize. So my advice would definitely be: if you contact him otherwise, give clear deadlines. If he doesn't respond before a certain moment: too bad, prize gone.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Deadlines jury process
Hi all, I would like to update you on the jury process for the international jury as planned currently. We're already halfway into October, so I hope that all countries have their juries working on the national selections! The deadline for sending in your national selection is *31 October (UTC timezone)*. Please try to submit your nominations before 20 October please - after that date I will start hunting local teams and try to get them :) To submit your nominations, please send a list of url's of your ten nominees (not necessarily in any particular order) to effeietsand...@gmail.com . You are allowed to submit less nominees, but not more. Please make sure in the email you send that it is clear and obvious that you are submitting the true nominations. Shortly describe your process (can be one or two sencences) and who was on your jury. Please include at least one jury member in cc. I will ensure it arrives at the jury. I will keep an overview of all received and processed nominations on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Progress#Nominations . Next, the jury will take three rounds. In the first round, they will go down from the expected 350 nominations (longlist) to ~25-50 (shortlist). Next the jury members get the chance to remove images from consideration by simple majority vote. Then in a third round, the best images will be chosen from the shortlist and ranked by the jury. A jury report will be produced based on these processes. We hope to be able to make the results available to you (and in a press release) by the end of November/begin of December. We will follow a similar procedure in writing a press release as with the awarding of the Guinness World Record. Please respect the deadline of 31 October! If you miss it, things get really complicated and we will probably have to disallow your nominees to participate in the finale.

Last year in my country we had every member of the jury give an image 3 scores from 1 to 10 for different criteria: artistic quality, technical quality and usefulness for Wikipedia and made a pondered sum (50%, 30%, 20%) for a final note for each person.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] 2013 - wanted: volunteers for the coordinating team
Hi all, 2012 has been the second year that we have an international Wiki Loves Monuments competition, and it is quite a ride! While we're not finished yet with this years competition, it is probably good to look forward to 2013. A number of countries have indicated they would love to join next year. Some who have already participated this year, some who will be joining for the first time. Some who participated this year, but not to the extent they would have liked to. But for a smooth organization, we will need a dedicated volunteer team for the international coordination. This year the team consisted from Maarten (Multichill), Elke (Elya), Tomasz (Odder) and myself with the valuable support of Barbara who was working from the Wikimedia Deutschland office. At least a few of this team have indicated that they are unlikely to help coordinate to the same level as this year. Lets put it bluntly: without coordinating team, there will be no international competition for Wiki Loves Monuments in 2013. So the question is... are there any volunteers? Maybe you wonder what this coordinating is all about. Most of it is stuff that others will never see. Talking with network partners, keeping track of status and documentation, a whole bunch of technical stuff in tool- and database maintenance and also a lot of knowledge transfer to local teams (chats, meetings, workshops). The time it costs can vary widely, but should not be underestimated (I think a few hundred hours is on the lower side). Of course the more skills and people, the less work per person.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 2013 - wanted: volunteers for the coordinating team
Hi Nkansah, thanks for your mail! For the coordinating team it is mostly important to have a good mix of people who have time, commitment and experience. There is no need that everyone has technical skills, but it would be very helpful if some have. There is no official age limitation, it is more important how mature one behaves (please note that this is basically a working group, and not so much a formal board function). There is not much software 'behind WLM' so there is in that respect not much training. There is of course a lot of documentation, but mostly it is (I'm afraid) a self-learning process. Last year we ran the coordination with four very active people. This was sometimes on the low side. There is no formal geographical limitation - although being from a country that successfully organized Wiki Loves Monuments - and that could organize it again without your continued support would definitely be a big advantage. I would really be sad if you joining the international coordination team would for example mean that the activities in Ghana would be decreased significantly.

To be a part of the organizing team, do I need any technical and/or programming skills (e.g PHP, SQL etc)? 2. Any age limitation? 3. Will newbie volunteers be trained to use the software infrastructure behind WLM, or they'll have to figure our stuffs based on their experience? 4. How many volunteers do you need (or how many volunteers will you recommend to run WLM 2013 successfully)? 5. Any geographical limitation? I guess thats all I wish to ask for now. However, I'm willing to volunteer. I'm from Ghana.

While we're not finished yet with this years competition, it is probably good to look forward to 2013. A number of countries have indicated they would love to join next year. Some who have already participated this year, some who will be joining for the first time. Some who participated this year, but not to the extent they would have liked to. But for a smooth organization, we will need a dedicated volunteer team for the international coordination. This year the team consisted from Maarten (Multichill), Elke (Elya), Tomasz (Odder) and myself with the valuable support of Barbara who was working from the Wikimedia Deutschland office. At least a few of this team have indicated that they are unlikely to help coordinate to the same level as this year. Lets put it bluntly: without coordinating team, there will be no international competition for Wiki Loves Monuments in 2013. So the question is... are there any volunteers? Maybe you wonder what this coordinating is all about. Most of it is stuff that others will never see. Talking with network partners, keeping track of status and documentation, a whole bunch of technical stuff in tool- and database maintenance and also a lot of knowledge transfer to local teams (chats, meetings, workshops). The time it costs can vary widely, but should not be underestimated (I think a few hundred hours is on the lower side). Of course the more skills and people, the less work per person.

Wikimedia Nederlands, as the official organizer of the international part of the competition, is the organization that comes closest to it. Guinness World Records isn't really built for online events, which is also the reason you will see 'the Netherlands' as location for the competition, and not 'Europe' (which would have been my preference for 2011).

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 officially broke world record
it might be that the requirements differ from category to category. The cases you mention are indeed quite different from that, and some of them are obviously different. They seem to be especially tough when it comes to things that can be organized (since those need the closest certification). In any case, I don't exclude the possibility that if we negotiate long enough, we might be able to persuade them. However, that would have significantly delayed the recognition. It was hard enough as it is - which you can ask me about next time we meet, but I prefer not to discuss those details on a public mailing list as you may understand :). Lodewijk 2012/10/9 Racso ra...@colombia.com Thanks for the answer, Lodewijk! I'm confused.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Questions about the Jury Tool and what to do with photos of non listed monuments
Hi Michael, Since being a monument is a precondition, I think they should be disqualified from the contest - and not even be counted for the total amount of pictures. If they were uploaded, but do not depict a monument at all (not even a detail of it) then they should be considered as invalid submissions, and the template should be removed.

Some of the pictures uploaded are not pictures of monuments on our lists. What do we do about that? The {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2012|dk}} template says “This image was uploaded as part of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012 .“. The file WAS uploaded as a part of the competition so I do not think that the obvious thing to do is to remove the template. Instead we could perhaps add a parameter telling it is not eligible for the prize contest. It is possible to fair images in the jury tool so the solution could be to “fail” them there. Anyway I found out that a few of the photos in the contest should not have been passed because they are not listed monuments. But I can’t find a way to go “fail” a monument once it has been passed. So the only way I could think of is to rate it with one star. Do we have a manual how to operate the jury tool? I can’t find a “help” button somewhere on the tool. For example if I click “Show My Reviewed Imageshttp://wlm.wmflabs.org/dk/jury2.php?hide_rated=2” I can see the first 12 photos. How do I see the rest? I found out that if I click on the URL and add “start=0” à http://wlm.wmflabs.org/dk/jury2.php?hide_rated=2start=0 then it is possible to view the next photos.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Why deadlines exist
hmm, good point! The unfriendlyness could perhaps be tackled by a message on the talkpage of the uploader? (or did that already happen?).

Lodewijk 2012/10/5 Vicenç Riullop vriul...@hotmail.com Most concerns are for removing the WLM template, for any reason, by bot or not. It can be seen as an unfriendly behaviour to exclude a file for the contest. In fact, the submission was intented for WLM, successfully or not, as the template reads. A solution is to keep the template with a note, i.e. uploaded after deadline, not a registered monument, not a participant country, etc. The template with any note can categorize instead in Images from WLM in XX not validated keeping track of them and allowing any revision.

Although I wouldn't want one myself necessarily, it would be nice if we at least can make sure to use a similar design. Is there anyone who is willing to design something? Some criteria that come to mind: * There should be plenty of space * The theme color should be red (because of the logo). The WLM logo should be prominently visible. Also 2012 should get a prominent place in the design, as well as the name of the country. * There should be place for two signatures, but there should always be one (for a jury chair). The second signature could potentially be used for a director, president of the chapter or the main organizer. * The certificate should state: ** Name of the recipient ** File name of the photo ** Description of the photo ** Date Place of signing / ceremony * It should be possible to make the certificate up to four-lingual, but it should also work nicely in English.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WWW123POICOM
Hi Ilario, I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning. The whole point of the e-mail requirement (we never said they had to be identified *by an email*) was that we are able to contact them. Turning their email functionality on at Wikimedia Commons and/or Flickr would be sufficient. Since 123POI is basically a similar platform as Flickr, it would be just as fine to confirm your email address there. The reason of this rule wasn't to exclude people, but to put the burden of providing contact information on the participant - so that if they have turned email off - we can simply ignore them if we want.

The interpretation I would give to this rule, is that /on the platform you uploaded/ you need to have your email address confirmed. That scales well, and works in the current situation too. I know you don't like the 123POI upload platform very much, but at the very least we shouldn't let the users who used it suffer from that.

The whole point of the e-mail requirement (we never said they had to be identified *by an email*) was that we are able to contact them. Turning their email functionality on at Wikimedia Commons and/or Flickr would be sufficient. Since 123POI is basically a similar platform as Flickr, it would be just as fine to confirm your email address there. The reason of this rule wasn't to exclude people, but to put the burden of providing contact information on the participant - so that if they have turned email off - we can simply ignore them if we want. Lodewijk Absolutely, anyway the regulation of Wikimedia Ch says: Afin d’être contacté, le participant aura renseigné son adresse de courriel dans ses préférences sur le site Wikimedia Commons It means that, if there was an email in Commons, the user would be accepted. The regulation has been published some days after the start of the contest so we may be flexible, so it means that there should be at least a link to the user in another portal and we can spent some time to contact him, but *at least* the email in Commons or everywhere is a *must* to don't be excluded. It's important, in my opinion to do it respectful of some other participants who followed the regulation. -- Ilario Valdelli Wikimedia CH Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Association pour l’avancement des connaissances libre Associazione per il sostegno alla conoscenza libera Switzerland - 8008 Zürich Tel: +41764821371 http://www.wikimedia.ch ___ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org ___ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

Thanks for the good work. Some suggestions: 1. Three pictures are too wide for my screen, so the third picture of each row appears off-screen and I must use the h-scrollbar to see it. That isn't desirable, I think, as makes the process slow. I would suggest using 2 pictures per row, or, better yet, to allow the user to pick a number of pics-per-row. 2. I would change the X (No) button for a Skip button, and make the No to be the default (i.e., if the user doesn't mark a picture, it's because it's discarded; if he wants to leave it for later, he must mark it with the Skip button). That way, filtering would be faster and less tedious (less clics per page). 3. Not sure about this one, but yet I put it here: What about removing the check button (Yes) and allow users to click directly in the images to select them as good? For the full-view, the image link below the image can be used. This would also make the selection faster (clicking the big image is a lot easier than aiming and clicking the small button).

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Idea for WLM app's afterlife
Hi Philip, that sounds like a great idea. Although I wouldn't limit it to articles alone, but 'topics'. We could combine all articles with geo coordinates (set one) with all monuments we already have in the database. Probably it would be good to build in a way to exclude some topics from this functionality (such as articles about huge areas, i.e. 'France'). If that works properly and is maintained well, it would be easy next year to build another app, because you would just copy the app, give it some different colors in the skin and just let it work from the monument database alone, instead of the full geo-tagged set. I'm not sure what resources it would require and how realistic that is, but I think it might actually motivate quite some people. Would it be possible to 'disable' the WLM app and explain people where to find the new app which is more general in its approach? Lodewijk 2012/9/28 Philip Chang pch...@wikimedia.org Here is an idea: Turn the WLM app into a similar app for uploading photos related to Wikipedia articles. This was in fact the original goal of the mobile photo upload project. One take on this is to use the Nearby search and article search as a way to find articles, then the upload will be given a title related to the article and some metadata can include the article ID. The WLM app will otherwise run the risk of not being functional past October, due to backend issues. Just a quick thought. Let the mobile team know if you think this is a good idea.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] permanently removing buttons
Sounds fair enough. Definitely this is a question for each project to resolve for themselves. Different sensitivities in different communities... Lodewijk 2012/9/28 Peter Ekman pdek...@gmail.com There was a question of permanently removing the upload buttons on English Wikipedia. Actually I think it is just a matter for the US WP:NRHP, and may not go beyond that. I don't think it is impossible to keep the buttons, and I think the placeholder RfC was quite badly started and really doesn't apply well to this question. More somebody blowing off steam than anything else. Good editors do that sometime and there may be an underlying issue that we didn't have time to deal with properly a week before the contest started. On the other hand, as a permanent fixture, I don't like the buttons where they currently are. For the contest they were fine, but they attract too much attention away from the list's actual content. Perhaps they might be moved to the description column and made smaller. In any case, a fairly long discussion will likely be needed at WT:NRHP, and removing the buttons, at least temporarily, will be a show of good faith. None of this necessarily applies to non-NRHP lists on English Wikipedia.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Idea for WLM app's afterlife
Hi Philip, Maybe I'm wrong here, but as far as I'm aware, the current monument database is actually being scraped each night from the wikipedia lists. So basically it is a mirror of the lists with a lag up to 24 hours (if toolserver works etc). But maybe we're talking about different databases?

[Wiki Loves Monuments] certificates for the winners
Hi all, Last year an often heard question was whether we would offer certificates for the winners. Although I wouldn't want one myself necessarily, it would be nice if we at least can make sure to use a similar design. Is there anyone who is willing to design something? Some criteria that come to mind: * There should be plenty of space * The theme color should be red (because of the logo). The WLM logo should be prominently visible. Also 2012 should get a prominent place in the design, as well as the name of the country. * There should be place for two signatures, but there should always be one (for a jury chair). The second signature could potentially be used for a director, president of the chapter or the main organizer. * The certificate should state: ** Name of the recipient ** File name of the photo ** Description of the photo ** Date Place of signing / ceremony * It should be possible to make the certificate up to four-lingual, but it should also work nicely in English. Anything forgotten? Ideally this would become a file that is easily adaptable. Any previous designs are also welcome!

There are a significant number of users experiencing crashes and we are limited in our ability to debug these problems, for several reasons: * We are not able to reproduce these problems on the same devices that seems to be experiencing the problems * Google Play captures a part of the error which does not include the Cordova aspects * Google Play does not allow us to contact reviewers or people reporting crashes Therefore, if you hear of any users having such problems, please have them contact us by email at: mobile-feedbac...@lists.wikimedia.org.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Calendars
Hi all, responding to several points at once: * For the license stuff: I suggest to just take the graphical CC BY-SA logo that Creative Commons provides, and show that at the front page in a corner. * Let me just say 'no' to translating everything into all languages. That is simply a journey I refuse to go onto. It would require a huge investment of time from both translators and the coordinators. Lets do the thing that worked well last year: short description in both the local language of the monument and in English. (with exceptions for complicated regions adding another language). Perfection is the enemy of progress: we're on a very tight time schedule once we get to the jury results. We don't have any resources to hunt after people, and any compromise is going to have disadvantages too. If/when we do an online exhibition we could/should do this though. * For those that really really like, we have a few 2012 calendars left in the WMNL office. I'm sure if you give a proper donation, you can get a few ;-) (contact Sandra Rientjes for that). For 2013 I think Barbara will come later with a more detailed update on what is possible and what isn't. This was still under discussion - the publisher did consider providing calendars for public sale. I'm not sure if the WMF is going to order calendars - but I suggest you contact them directly if you want to make that happen. * Providing URL's to the original file is not required. What I can imagine is that the file description in the last page contains the file names - but then that is also barely usable (how well are you able to copy the hebrew characters?). If you want to reuse the images, just go to the Wikilovesmonuments website or Wikimedia Commons - both will contain a full overview of all winning pictures. Lets not make things more complicated than necessary. It is not a legal requirement, and lets not fool ourselves: anyone with a little bit of google experience can type 'wiki loves monuments winners' into google and will find them. * On QR codes: I know some people really fancy them... personally I think that they wouldn't really look well in the existing designs at least on the photo pages. Again: lets not make the process more complicated (these codes need to be created, pages can't be moved, weird characters etc. - all potential errors and problems giving me a headache). People can find the page with the winning pictures quite easily. If we add everything we *can* add, it will be overkill. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. While some of it may not be implementable, it is still appreciated. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/24 Barbara Fischer barbara.fisc...@wikimedia.de Hi, concerning. distribution Cyriel from WMNL is checking with the WMF, if they will take the WLM calendars into their shop -programme. Please check with Your chapter if you would like to order a number of copies on top of the 15 free copies every participating country will receive. The printing house is not supposed to take individual orders, like sending one copy to Seattle and an other one to Cape Town. But they will love to ship 25 copies to Vienna and 30 to Bogotá and so forth. Just let me know, how You feel about it. I' collect your figures to start with out commitment. concerning layout: there will be no printed rear-sides as this would increase the printing cost considerably. All other suggestions will be considered as Tomasz said. best regards Barbara Fischer Kuratorin für Kulturpartnerschaften Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | NEU: Obentrautstr. 72 | 10963 Berlin Tel.

Kozłowski odder.w...@gmail.com Thanks for the comments, WereSpielCheckquers and Platonides! 1. I am not sure whether we'll be including file descriptions at all this year; it was the only thing besides the last page that made the calendars not language-neutral. This is something we try to avoid as much as possible, as we're having WLM in more countries that use non-Latin alphabets than last year. I'm not saying no to descriptions in English, but this /is/ a problem, and we will not be able to translate them into the 37 languages used in WLM countries, especially due to technical and financial reasons. If you'd prefer to have the descriptions below the photos, I'll make sure to have them in a bigger font than last year :-)) 2. The names of the authors are listed on the last page of the calendars, though as Platonides rightly pointed out, we forgot to include a link to the page of the deed at creativecommons.org; this is something we can improve this time. I am not sure whether adding a link to a winning photo would be useful at all

Hi Karl, you don't have to translate everything to English, but a summary should be there indeed. You can find several examples on http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/english-pages/ . (I see that also Austria and Germany are missing there...) This summary is especially for the tourists who visited the country in the past and simply want to have the easy story how to find a monument, what they can win and where to upload.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Advice about what to do with a troll? participant
Hi Oscar, Thanks for your mail. I don't have the feeling from the column pictures at least that this is a troll or attention seeker. Lets assume good faith, and assume he indeed wants to make detailed photos. Then I think that allowing them as images is totally fine. It may be obvious that these pictures are unlikely to win any prize though. Disqualification won't help anyone and will at best get you huge discussions. What is important though, is that he identifies which monument it is. Transcribing etc seems to me too much like you're making fun of him - do I definitely don't agree with that suggestion. So, if this indeed seems like a detail of monument 06-050, then just accept it as a submission. If you want him also to make overview photos, you could just ask him that in a constructive way like Hey, thanks for participating! I see you make a lot of nice detailed photos, but I wondered if you could, on top of that, also make a few overview photos so that it is clear how these details relate to each other. Hope that helps, Lodewijk 2012/9/15 Mike Dupont jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com well i looked, they are not geotagged. so challenge him/her, ask them to geolocate them, ask them to transcribe them text. this could be attention seeking behaviour, so give them some attention , but also challenge them to do more intensive work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_seeking mike On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 9:34 AM, Ole Palnatoke Andersen o...@palnatoke.org wrote: Besides, the columns seem to have names(?) on them, so there might be a meaning somewhere..

I can't even know if the columns are part of a valid monument because I cannot see what is behind the photographer (inside the fence); and even if they are, I think this is just irrational and not useful at all! What do you think I should do? Nothing? Disqualify the images? Let them stay until the end of september and then filter them? I don't feel comfortable knowing that about 10% of the contest valid images are photos of almost equal columns :S (Hey, check out Colombia cultural heritage! Yep, columns! [And dead rats!]). Also, I'm getting tired of following this guy's contribution to filter the non-useful, even offensive pictures (I won't allow the rat image to reach the judges!). I think that, while the rules don't state that uploading dozens of almost equal photos is invalid, this guy is clearly stretching the spirit of the competition. Any advice of how to deal with this kind of behaviour will be really appreciated.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM Android App
Hi Alex, in the case of Kenya (I assume that is why you ask), the bottle neck currently lies in adding Kenya to the database. We need someone a bit more technical to do that. Unfortunately this hasn't happened yet. Once that happened, it'll be a few days before it comes to the app. However, that will be of little use if there are no coordinates in the list. If you want monuments to show up properly, you should add geo-coordinates to the list.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Slovak WLM
Hi Matej, I'm very glad to hear there's so much interest in organizing Wiki Loves Monuments! While I don't consider it realistic to join in 2012 still, it should definitely be possible to either organize something specifically in Slovakia (using a similar competition model under a different name? You can still use all the software and lessons we learned!) or join again in 2013. If you organize something specific for Slovakia in two or three months, you would still have enough time to organize everything locally. Trying to do that within the WLM framework I expect to be too complicated (while I should compliment you on your lists!). I would of course be happy to help you on your way with that. You can find all documentation on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Documentation which also includes a lot of helpful lessons. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/12 Matej Grochal ggros...@gmail.com Dear colleagues, The Slovak Wikimedia would like to start the Slovak version of WLM. We don't have sponsors, but we thought that we should start somehow. We know that it is a bit late in the game, but we thought: better late than never. Any thoughts?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Slovak WLM
Hi, if you're able to have everything in order before that moment I could possibly live with it. However, you should have all business in order before then (this is not to be underestimated at such short notice), including prizes (no prizes is an option too, although highly unfortunate) and jury. However, I would be quite against having the finishing date of Israel. Israel is here a strong exception because the hebrew calendar system is different than ours, and newyear starts at Sept 14. This does leave them with an extremely short time to run jury results. Having Slovakia with a shifted timeline too, would be highly unfortunate. Also, this would mean you would have to disqualify all images uploaded so far (you mentioned 100 accidental uploads?). So *if* you're able to join, I strongly prefer you would still end at September 30. I know this doesn't sound nicely, but otherwise things become very confusing. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/13 Matej Grochal ggros...@gmail.com Dear colleagues, First of all, thank you for the feedback. Joining in with Israel in terms of the timeline seems like a do-able option if we pushed the starting date further a bit. - What would be the hard limits on that? The infrastructre is getting built as we speak (thank you for the help!) Our thinking is that it is better to take this oportunity and not to wait until 2013.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] multiple refnums on US historic districts disables button
A possible solution would be to add an extra parameter: alternative_refnum. You can even display both the refnum and alternative_refnum in the table, but they would be two seperate parameters. Lodewijk 2012/9/10 Peter Ekman pdek...@gmail.com Many US historic districts have had several expansions, which results in multiple reference numbers. In at least two cases, Charleston Historic District in South Carolina, and one earlier, having multiple refnums in the table results in the upload button being disabled. I removed the extra refnums (leaving the first) in both cases and the upload button then worked. Any suggestions for a general fix?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] images categories at Commons

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Photos with watermarks
I agree with Vincenç. The easy explanation is: Sure, you're allowed to submit photos with a watermark. However, because of the free license, we're allowed to remove them. Also, it is very unlikely a watermarked image will win the competition. So if you just want an easy way to donate your pictures and removing watermarks is too much trouble: the pictures are welcome. If you want to win something... it is probably better to remove them. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/7 Vicenç Riullop vriul...@hotmail.com I don't like watermarks either, but following the KISS principle I would say that any image accepted on Commons is acceptable on WLM although watermarks are discouraged and the jury probably will disqualify them.

I allow those but discourage them by explaining the uploaders that grace to our free license, anyone is allowed to remove them, so is useless; - some photos have the date watermarked in a corner, this probably happened most of the time in-camera and are unintentional. I feel them annoying but harmless; - i saw a few cases the name of an educational institution there.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Please put the mobile app banner on your country sites
Hi, 'IN-UT' is the ISO 3166-2:IN code for the state. It should indeed be possible to automatically convert those. The circles are probably more tricky. Before I revamped the tables into the current shape, we needed that to create the unique identifier. Probably it is best to just ignore the circles for the sake of this app - because it will only lead to confusion since some states have them, and some don't. And one of the circles is even names after a city in a different state... Mentioning the district is probably more helpful. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/7 Naveen Francis navee...@wikimedia.in Thanks Jon.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Copyvio checking
Yes, copyvio's are always a problem - although last year there were /relatively/ (compared to normal commons uploads) few. It seems this year it's a bit more. I would suggest to disqualify early - or else you may forget about it. Some countries used for this purpose a categorization system: they inserted a category through the form automatically (something about 'unchecked') and would simply change that to 'checked' if they checked the image fit the description in the database. L 2012/9/4 Racso ra...@colombia.com I think I'll wait until tomorrow before asking for deletion, to let the participant answer (just in case [?]). I have another question about the topic: should I disqualify invalid images (e.g. from monuments that aren't on the lists) immediately, or wait (until when? the end of the contest?)? Racso 2012/9/3 Racso ra...@colombia.com Hello. I have detected that a participant just uploaded photographs he found on internet, so I must proceed to mark them for deletion. Sigh.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM banner problem
I suggest to keep a pragmatic view here. Let's not like real wikipedians go into all details and hurt ourselves here - but keep the spirit of free knowledge in mind. In this case it seems obvious Susana doesn't object - if she did she would have objected long ago and she indeed indicated explicitly that she didn't require naming etc in this context. For the stack, one of the creators of the image clearly objected to its use in this way. Then lets not make a hard deal out of it, and just replace it. It is not like we have a shortage of images. Ideally lets use a PD image (perhaps one of the organizers would like to release one for this purpose?) There is little to win in these detailed discussions.

Besides this, I have a question of my own. Let's say, someone submitted a photo for the contest. Then a random Wikimedian uses it in an article. Then he wants to fix it (colors, perspective, whatever) and actually he does it by replacing the original file with a new fixed version of it. What next?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Question about links in Upload Campaign
Hi David, unfortunately it is not possible it seems to link from the wizard. However, most monument lists contain links to the upload wizard, which will carry the identifier. So I would like to suggest to as much as possible tell people to /first/ look up their monument, and use the link behind that. Best, Lodewijk 2012/8/31 David Narvaez david.narv...@computer.org Hi, I'm trying to add a link on the Upload Campaign for Panama so that users can look an ID up in the list of monuments. That would be a link to a wiki page but I don't see where to put it: 1. I tried inserting a href=...see here/a into the text for the ID field 2. There's another field named Page name with text for the ID field label. $1 is replaced with the language code but it doesn't look like the text inside the page is wiki-processed so you get to see all the wiki markup instead of the links Does anybody has any idea of what to do here?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Largest contest?
Hi, Geograph is not a contest (it is a project, but you can't win something with it afaik), so we don't have to worry about that. The Guinness Book of World Records has a number in the 120k as the largest - we definitely beat that. We had 168k by the way, not 188k. The only contest that I know that comes close is the Metro Photo Challenge. (from the international news paper) Best, Lodewijk 2012/8/30 WereSpielChequers werespielchequ...@gmail.com Hi, Has anyone worked out how many images we need for this to be the world's largest photography contest? I know we got 188,000 last year, and the Geograph is now over 3 million, but I don't know whether there are any contests larger than the Geograph. I think we have a good chance of it being the largest competition of one month's duration, and it would be interesting to know what is currently the most multinational contest.

Thousands of volunteers in more than 30 countries will upload photos of historic sites throughout the month, making hundreds of thousands of photos available under a free license on Wikipedia?s image database, Wikimedia Commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org ). In last year?s contest, 5,000 photographers from 18 European countries uploaded more than 168,000 photos. This year?s contest will have significantly greater participation, including the United States and many non-European countries for the first time. Volunteer Wikipedians organize the contest in each country, with the winning photos from national contests considered by an international jury in late October. The international jury will announce the top-ten international photos and the overall best picture winner in early December. ?There are millions of historically and culturally significant monuments and buildings around the world, though most of them still have no freely-available images on the Internet,? said Lodewijk Gelauff, one of the founders of the first Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest in 2010. ?Wiki Loves Monuments is an important way for volunteers around the world to showcase the cultural heritage in their countries and share these images with everyone through Wikipedia.? The photos will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons under a free license, so they can be used by anybody, for any purpose, as long as the photographer is credited. Many of the photos will appear in Wikipedia, the world?s largest encyclopedia, and all will be available to download at no cost. ?In the U.S., anybody can photograph any of the 87,000 sites on the National Register of Historic Places for this contest,? said Peter Ekman, national coordinator
