Hi Rally,
Earlier I've actually thought of a better way than the spreadsheet to
populate the WLM geo-database: create a web map application, where you
can simply drag and drop a marker over the location of a site. But
since creating such an app takes time, this Google Docs spreadsheet is
a tempora
Hi Ed,
The problem with this is that not all of the sites are in OSM and if
the only source of the location of a site is from Google Maps,
Panoramio, Wikimapia, etc. then we cannot legally add the location
into OSM and so there is no "ncca" tag or similar to collect.

I've tried editing just now and it looks like GoogleDoc approach is
better, considering that any newbie can point-and-click on either OSM
or Google Map,
press permalink, then cut & paste the lat long info into the
GoogleDocs spreadsheet. The GoogleMap & OSM links are auto-generated.
Coolness :-)

Guys,
My two centavos worth ...
would it not be easier if we just place a special tag on such POIs on OSM
(maybe NCCA=yes or some other tag) then harvest them all via OSMosis
later? That way, it eliminates transcribing errors.

By the way, as a test, I've started adding some coordinates obtained
from OSM. Check out some of the sites in Baguio and Ilocos Norte in
the list.

Hi maning,
Thanks for the help. Yes, the WLM team is OK with using Google or
Wikimapia for finding the coordinates. I think this qualifies as
research and should not infringe the copyright of Google or other
sites since what we are obtaining is information and not creative
expression which is what
Hi guys,
I have created a public spreadsheet for the WLM sites:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtokxpcNebAxdGJSMFRqX3F5Q3pZd2JpTGxJYThlOGc
It seems crowdsourcing this task is the way to go and using the usual
geo-research methodologies (OSM, Google, Panoramio, Wikimapia,
WaypointsDo
Nice! That's a very good tip. Thanks Jim

Hi Eugene,
Usually, at WaypointsDotPH, we get the coordinates and photos from
contributors who have been to the POIs. I was thinking, that if this will
be a photo contest, then photographers of "uncharted" monuments might keep
the location information while the contest is going on so others may n
I can try to tag each one of them
i can see churches of bohol plus other structures i've recently visited
there including Clarin House
in Loay town (i also attempted to visit Loay watchtower but it was covered
by mangroves and not really easy to access, in state of ruins, ias was told
by locals).
Hi guys,
Wikimedia Philippines has launched the Wiki(pedia) Loves Monuments
last March 24. WLM is a photo contest with the aim of creating a body
of open and freely-licensed photos of cultural and heritage sites and
monuments. WLM started in 2010 in the Netherlands, became a
