Making contacts in LAGRAD could lead to some great sets of photos of
the regulars enjoying their favourite pubs and ales. They might even
help with different free venues for a few wikimeets. :-)

That would be an interesting one!  Definitely worth thinking about for next 
time (seriously).

Well it's worth mentioning (for those who don't know) that WLM's "easy
upload" process continues to work all year round -- the only
difference is that your photographs won't count towards the
competition proper.

So if find yourself with a stack of photographs you didn't get round
to uploading, you don't have to wait to next year to upload them.
Indeed, Wikipedia (and other reusers) start benefiting immediately, so
an early upload is actively the moral thing to do. (Though the cynic
in me suggests holding back any potential award winners...)

Best,
Harry

It was fun to try and get some half-decent photos. But, you'll get  
more Edinburghers if you do Wiki Loves (listed) pubs[1].

[Wikimediauk-l] Wiki Loves Monuments deadline rapidly approaching

[Harry Burt]

Hi all,

Just a reminder to anyone with photographs of (Grade I / Grade II* /
Category A / Grade A / Grade B+) listed buildings hanging around on
your hard drives, now is the time to upload them.

The easiest way to do this is to find each building's listing on
Wikipedia (e.g. [1]), and follow the upload link there.

Even if you took the photographs ages ago, they will still qualify for
Wiki Loves Monuments, the world's largest photography competition --
assuming you upload them before midnight.

Why participate in Wiki Loves Monuments rather than upload them, say, next week?
 * Your photographs can win prizes
 * You'll be helping make this year's WLM the largest ever (14,000
more uploads needed!) [2]
 * You'll help the UK overtake India into 8th place in the country
rankings ) 600 uploads needed!) [3]

For more general information on WLM, see http://wikilovesmonuments.org/ .

All the best,
Harry
