This in turn makes it harder to use the images on the projects, which is something the grant team looks at when giving you the money to organize. Some contests then concentrate on having great images, while other concentrate on monuments diversity and the international organizers aim for more abstract targets, as Lily described above. That means that the local contest might not necessarily say anything about your photography skills, but that's OK - there are always other events in our community that you might want to consider participating in.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Video upload "wizard"
Hey,
If there are other countries besides Romania that want to encourage
video uploads, you should know that video2commons maintainer
{{u|Zhuyifei1999}} has done a tremendous job making it possible to
pre-fill the information template and other fields from the wizard/
This makes it (almost) as easy to correctly upload videos in any
format as it is to upload photos.
You can find details here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Video2commons#Is_there_a_way_to_pre-fill_the_description_of_the_file?
I already implemented this for Romania, see the "video" links in the
image columns:
https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_monumentelor_istorice_din_jude%C8%9Bul_Bac%C4%83u
. The Lua code that does the magic is available at
[[:ro:Modul:Monumente]].

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] When to Flickr Import
2012/9/27 David Narvaez david.narv...@computer.org: We have a rather large amount of photos participating in the contest that are in Flickr and I was wondering when is it good to import them into Commons. I was thinking maybe Oct 1st, and filtering by upload time, so to avoid leaving photos behind. How does that affect the overall count etc? How are other organizers dealing with the Flickr import? We (Romania) are importing the pictures as we speak, since we went for a semi-manual approach that means cleaning up the description and categories. This takes a lot of time (I'm doing at the very most 50 images in 2.5-3h every night) and we wouldn't be able to handle the deadlines any other way. On the other hand, if you have people with lots of spare time that can do the import after Oct 1st, it is perhaps a better solution.

2012/9/11 Arthur Richards aricha...@wikimedia.org: Hi Strainu, There is some documentation about this here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Data_issues Briefly, we've taken a datadump of ISO-3166-2 data from commondatahub.org, which we use to provide the mapping from ISO-3166-2 region codes to their English names. We have put together a script that then takes all of those names and attempts to auto-'translate' them by checking the name against the interwiki language links API. We can easily override the automatic 'translations' that we have. If you'd like to do it yourself, you should fork the repository on github, follow the instructions in the readme file, and submit a pull request: https://github.com/awjrichards/WLM-ISO-3166-2 Alternatively, you can file a bug in bugzilla with a mapping of ISO-3166-2 region codes to regional names, and we can get the translations added when we are able. All of the WMF staff will be busy in our annual all-staff meetings for the rest of the week, so forgive us if we are unable to respond as quickly as usual. Thanks! Arthur Hi Arthur, Thanks for the response. Since the only Android device I have access to is a Kindle, which does not support your application, I need a little more guidance. Where are those names used in the application? Would it make more sense to have them translated as COUNTY_NAME or COUNTY_NAME county? A screenshot would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] ErfgoedBot/MultichillBot latest actions
2012/9/8 Maarten Dammers maar...@mdammers.nl: Hi guys, I'm doing some clean up. First I try to add identifier templates to as many images as possible because that's the basis of all magic. That's good. Thing is, I've had a bot request for the exact same thing, and noticed that you miss lots of images. You might want to check out https://code.google.com/p/wikiro/source/browse/trunk/robots/python/pywikipedia/monumente/add_template_to_images.py and see what's different. Second problem is actually a warning: don't use categories as either source or destination of monument ids (for Romania). They're currently a mess that needs to be sorted out manually. Based on that I have been working on improving and expanding the automatic categorization. While doing that I ran into a lot of countries that needed some extra attention: * In the US I added over 2000 Commonscat links * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Historical_monuments_in_Romania contained over 6000 images, I sorted that out. Also someone created a template that categorized images. That's frowned upon at Commons so I added the images directly to the category and fixed the template. It might be frowned upon, but it is still the easiest way to categorize this many images - if you add the same category manually and then we realize that the code is wrong, we'll need to change 2 things instead of one, increasing the chance of mistakes. I personally disagree with these edits.

In Romania we have a rudimentary check in the {{Monument istoric}}

something like that, but that still means you'll have to fix them by

Regards, Strainu 2012/8/31 Mészöly Tamás meszoly.ta...@wikimedia.hu: Dear All, I have to announce that Hungary can not participate in WLM this year. I am very-very sad and upset about it, and I terrible sorry. Before summer I sent an e-mail to the president of the National Office of Cultural Heritage, but I didn't get any answer for weeks. After two weeks I called the secretary about my e-mail, and I got to know that the president has resigned by 1st of July, and she didn't want to sign a new contract in her last weeks (but she left a note about her support on it). The new president was appointed in July, but in his first weeks he didn't want to deal with our contract. As soon as I arrived back from the US (Wikimania) I sent an e-mail to the new president about our co-operation, but I didn't get any answer for many days. When I called the secretary I got to know that the team prepared our contract last year was on holiday, after that the president went to holiday until 21 of August. After this day, I called the secretary and legal department daily, and on 27 of August there was a meeting where they discussed about our contract, but the president didn't decide about it. Then I called them every day, but I got a call yesterday, that the president is very busy and hasn't got time for this co-operation now. This is Hungary in 2012...

So it is ok to include an image from your own website, wikilovesmonuments.org or upload.wikimedia.org, as is to include the international piwik stats server javascript. But it would not be ok to include facebook javascript for instance. The WLM skin includes a dead image to www.visuelya.de, which should really not be there.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] List of wlm websites including third-party content
There are a bunch of unanswered questions about piwik that make me not want to use it: Do you offer any guarantees on the uptime or stress-performance of the system? Do you offer any way to import past data from Google Analytics? Is there any guarantee that you're following data protection rules in the country where the server is installed? Does that law even allow private persons to access the data (that's especially doubtful, as it is probably in the EU)? What happens to the piwik installation after the contest ends? I'd much rather go along with the known problems of GA rather than explore unchartered waters. But most of all, my problem is: why didn't anyone have a problem with those last year, as we were using both GA and Facebook then, but not it suddenly became such a huge (non-)issue. Also, I don't know about the universalsubtitles thingie, but removing the Facebook box would not serve us at all, since most of the promotion was done on Facebook. If none of you will be willing to set a Central Notice for wlm.ro, we can always use alternative promotion means. Strainu 2012/8/29 Tomasz W. Kozłowski odder.w...@gmail.com: Hi Strainu, indeed there is no policy about (not) allowing links from CentralNotice banners to websites using third party analytics systems, just as I wrote in my offlist e-mail to you. I can only provide you with an opinion of a Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Community Advocacy team member, who is deeply uncomfortable about us linking to websites using Google Analytics, and therefore giving our users' very sensitive data to a third company for free. I would very much like to avoid any controversies and arguments with regard to this subject; we have installed and configured Piwik for your use specifically to keep our users' data safe, and am (yet again) urging you to do use this opportunity.

See for example my home list https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llista_de_monuments_del_Maresme It is a comarca with larger municipalities splited. A customazed TOC facilitates navigation within the comarca and a footer navigation template for other lists. 2. A search button at https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/P:WLM facilitates searching all lists with title prefixed Llista de monuments... Thanks Vicenç, your example looks pretty interesting and easy to navigate. I also love the pictures you used for category and upload, they're much nicer than what I've seen elsewhere, I think I'll steal them. :) It is still a variation from the official Romanian rules for organizing the list, but given they are absolutely crazy (2 monuments with successive ids and placed on the same parcel of land can end up far away in the list) and given that I've already used such an approach for Bucharest, I think I'll go with splitting the lists by comună.

If wikipedias were going to use it, the WMF would probably want to host a local mirror anyway. And hence my doubt over the actual approval of such a project. It could be worth bringing it up in another forum, though, I'm just not sure where. Each interested wikipedia would have to approve a nonfree use rationale guideline, which allowed them to use a subset of that wiki files (eg. those which are free on their countries but not on US). With regards to FOP, at least for buildings, it would be the other way around: free in the US and non-free in their country. That will probably make it somewhat more acceptable to the legal department It would also be a very appropiate solution for the troubles generated by the URAA producing retroactive copyright. For using those PD-Non-US images, I guess WMF would still require a Fair Use rationale for each of the used images, maybe some general «low-res usage in educational articles» (ie. main-ns) could pass, I'm not sure.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] How to choose where to do a Wiki Takes? (was: Where to do a Wiki Takes?)
When I saw the subject of this email, I thought this was a discussion on how to choose a route for a photo walk. Since it wasn't that, I thought I start one :) When we made the plans for Wiki Takes Bucharest, we took into account several criteria: * the area should be poorly covered on commons * the walk time should not exceed 15-20 minutes for each hour planned for the photo walk (i.e. you have 3/4 of the time to take photos) *a back-up/alternative route should exist, in case the main route is blocked or you have too many participants. * all routes should begin and end in the same place (the biggest the crowd, the better the beer :D) What else should one consider in preparation of such an event?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] The Europeana Awareness project and Wikimedia Sweden
2012/5/23 John Andersson johnandersso...@hotmail.com: Sorry for cross-posting. Dear everybody, My name is John Andersson and I have recently been hired by Wikimedia Sweden (WMSE) as the Event manager for the project Europeana Awareness[1], a project that amongst other things has the goal of creating a closer cooperation between the Europeana Foundation (and its vast network of GLAM institutions) and the Wikimedia community and by doing so increase awareness of the work done by Europeana (hence the project name). The project leader for WMSE's part of the Europeana Awareness is Lennart Guldbrandsson, a.k.a. User:Hannibal, who many of you already know. I will however be responsible for the day-to-day operations. First of all I would like to give you a short presentation about myself so that you know who I am (if this understandably bores you, you can skip the following paragraph) and secondly I will present the projects that I will work with during the coming 18 months. I will start working full time on the 11th of June but until then I am working merely 35 percent as I am currently at the very end of my university studies at the Master programme in European Studies at Gothenburg University, finishing up my Master's thesis that focuses on decision-making in the Arctic Council's working groups. This time last year I worked as a trainee at the European Parliament's Secretariat in Brussels for 5.5 months and from before that I have a Bachelor of Science from Umeå University. During my Bachelor I spent one semester in the U.S. as an exchange student. I have been an administrator on the Swedish language version for 6 years now and have contributed with hundreds of articles and photos. On a more personal note I enjoy learning new things, experiencing new cultures, traveling, meeting friends and reading a good book. Two major tasks that I will work with are firstly the co-organization of a number of GLAM conferences in some of the European countries that have active Wikimedia Chapters that are working with GLAM issues, as well as to organize a European wide competition called Wiki Loves Public Art (WLPA), obviously inspired by the super successful Wiki Loves Monument competition. I am hoping to help in organizing events in Sweden, Poland, UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Currently I am working on organizing the first event, an Edit-a-thon in Leuven, Belgium.[2] If you are planning to organize a GLAM event in any of these countries I hope that you will take the opportunity to contact me and discuss how I could help! For example, adding Europeana as a partner for the event that you are organizing is likely to open new doors and attract more institutions and I am the one to contact about that, I could also help out with man-hours, perhaps supply you with information, contacts and digitized media that Europeana already has (which could be hard and time consuming to collect) or suggest and contact international guests that could participate in your event. The organization of Wiki Loves Public Art will mainly take place later this year. But even though this event is far in the future I hope that you write me an email if you think that this sounds interesting and would like to get involved in this work. I am well aware that this will take a lot of time and effort to organize so we might as well start with some initial planning as soon as possible! I am super excited about working with this full time and I really look forward meeting and talking with all of you!

What exactly do you understand by public art? Are we talking about art forms which sit in the public space, like statues in a square, or about something else? Is your job description limited to GLAM events and countries with chapters? We in Romania have neither, and the flow of information has so far been mostly reversed (e.g. the WLM photos from Romania are going to be uploaded to Europeana), but I would personally appreciate suggestions about how to use more effectively the material that Europeana already has (especially the meta-data, which IMO is a heavily underused CC-0 database).

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments was crap, it's high time to admit it!
While some valid points have been raised in these discussions, there was also a lot of bullshit (pardon my language, but there is no other way of putting it) from some people who can't look beyond the current project. It would be unfair from me to respond to those here, but I will most certainly respond onwiki as time allows. What I do note as something that could easily be avoided is having ten more crappy images of the Eiffel Tower in order to get some more obscure monuments on-wiki. I strongly suggest that in countries that participate in WLM2011 we limit the eligible monuments to those without an image. In order to do this, we need better tools. I'm currently working on a robot that can fill the lists automatically based on the articles that contain a specific monument-id, and also searches for mistakes in the lists. I certaily hope I'll be able to make it work for other countries and I also hope that Nuno, Maarten, Platonides and the rest of the folks that gave us those great reporting tools will also find the time to develop tools for improving the usage of the newly uploaded pictures.

2011/12/12 Yaroslav M. Blanter pute...@mccme.ru: I think this is a good direction, but I can not support the proposal in this form. What if we have just one crappy image? What if we have the image of the exterior, would we need the image of the interior? What if we have several monuments under one code? Then you could just make a list of ineligible monuments. The problem is that without a clear rule, you will have trouble explaining this non-ok list to the participants. It's unfortunate that you have multiple monuments with the same code. In Romania, this is solved by appending 2 more digits at the end of the code. Perhaps you could generate an unofficial code using a similar algorithm?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Art Nouveau Prize images
I am already using cat-a-lot, unfortunately it does not yet allow crosssections [1], so I still have to go through the whole category and manually pick the images of that monuments. As I am not an art expert, i'm using external information to track down art-nouveau monuments one by one, then mark all the pictures of that document. If you know a way to edit all the files in a CatScan report at once, that could be useful. If not, I will mark the categories and then figure out how he can mark the images individually.

2011/9/27 Andre Koopal an...@molens.org:
- Keep the campaigns open (can just be handy to upload monument pictures),
?but remove the wikilovesmonuments category.
So, is everyone OK with that approach (especially the commons admins)?
I would certainly like to see the upload wizard still active, just
without the {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2011}} template.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] How big was your budget?
2011/9/28 Strainu strain...@gmail.com: Hi, Romania's budget was 500 USD for the prizes (1450 RON, around 350 EUR) and around 35 EUR for the domain name. We will probably spend another 200 RON (45 EUR) on shipping the prizes, so the total is about 430 EUR. Thanks, Strainu I see most people make a difference between sponsor money and actual money spent by the organizers. If this is relevant, only the 45 EUR for shipping came from the organizers, the rest of the money are from sponsors.

You can easily use Commonist, lots of people do: just add the template
{{Wiki Loves Monuments 2011|1=}} to your description. 1= is the
parameter for the country code, see
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011 for
documentation.
E.g. for Hungary, it would be {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2011|hu}}

I'm not familiar with flickr programming.
Is there a framework which already provides the function so you just
need to do
eg. flick_send_msg('Strainu', You uploaded a lot of copyvios\n)
Hmmm...apparently not.[1] It's probably because you don't

code that. :P Please let us know if you write the script after all.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Flickr
Hi Maarten, I can put my code on the svn tonight, but if you're thinking about using your usual flickr transfer bot for all the languages, I don't think it meets the requirements that we have here at WLM. In our group, some users don't make adequate descriptions of the photo, but rather use that field for publicity of their profiles on different websites. This means that the bug MUST be supervised by a human who speaks the language of the groups. So while my code can put the relevant categories and templates, it should be run by individuals from each country. Furthermore, there are some groups, like WLM ES, that do not seem to filter the pictures in the group, so they must be filtered at least when uploaded on Commons. (I might have misunderstood some of their messages, in which case I apologise) Thanks, Strainu 2011/9/15 Maarten Dammers maar...@mdammers.nl: Hi Strainu, Op 14-9-2011 21:42, Strainu schreef: Hi, We're using flickr and we have about 200 images there so far.

The upload times out several times before it uploads the picture to commons, and even after the upload is made - the picture is published, I can see it is complete - it still reports timed out and retries. I have to manually stop it and restart the whole process. Do you have any Idea why could this happen? I've stopped all firewalls on that computer, manual upload works perfectly Thanks, Strainu 2011/9/3 Strainu strain...@gmail.com: I've started working on the bot - so far it adds the categories, but no templates. The question is - should we use it during the contest or only after it is finished? 2011/9/1 Strainu strain...@gmail.com: 2 more notes/questions: - should we have duplicate detection enabled? Some people seem to submit the same photos to both WP and flickr. So far I've rejected the duplicates, but some might escape at some point - if the bot can't find the ID, the upload should go ahead and the file should be put in some special category Strainu 2011/9/1 Strainu strain...@gmail.com: Hi, Is the information on the page below enough for you?

[Wiki Loves Monuments] How do we identify errors in the uploaded pictures?
Hi, How do you guys check if there are errors in the uploaded images and if the pictures are eligible to participate? Manually checking all the images is a little bit tedious for Romania (350 pictures), I don't even want to think what it would mean in France or Switzerland. Still, it will need to be done at some time. To make my life easier, I created [[Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Romania with errors]], where I place all the monuments that have obvious mistakes in the monument ID. What other filters do you have in place? I'm also thinking that maybe in the future we should have some JavaScript checks on the value introduced in the monument ID field.
