Dear WLMers,
We at the Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 international coordination team are
looking forward to hire a contractor to take care of the maintenance of the
infrastructure behind Wiki Loves Monuments, and everything that is needed
to run smoothly the contest. Yes, this will be a paid contract

That, or the upwizcampaigneditor right. I can grant you that on
testwiki, please ping me off list with your use
How will the international jury know which entries are connected in some way
with WW1, as that will often not be obvious from the photo itself. In the UK,
the photos will typically be of old buildings and not obvious war memorials
Presumably an explanation of the wartime relevance would need
Hi
Some more basic question from the newbies in the UK!
I've looked at the UploadCampaigns coding on testwiki, and would like to try it
out. Do I need sysop rights to do so?
Also, is there a basic page of instructions somewhere about the UploadCampaigns
technology for 2013? The most recent I
So that would be similar to last year's situation, right? Last year the
theme was GLAM, and only a tiny fraction of buildings in use by GLAM are
listed as monuments - in some countries even less than in others.
It does make it more important to communicate the definition very clearly
though. We sh

Maarten Deneckere, Allmost every war monument in Flanders is indeed a listed
monuments (at least in my small sample each municipality had around 5 of them).
But in Wallonie the situation is very different, in the 12 municipalities I've
checked only one of them had a war memorial listed.
So that
Hiya all,
thanks for the feedback. Of course no topic is going to be perfectly
distributed through countries, that goes equally for GLAM and art nouveau.
However, please note that the definition is pretty wide here. Monuments
(listed buildings, whatever) *related to* WW1. That could also include a
Hey all,
I think it's a very good idea to give special attentation to monuments from
the World Wars. In the two past editions of the competition in Belgium,
three winners were related to the First World War:

It’s the same in the UK. Although we have many WW1 memorials, very few of them
are on the official registers as ‘listed buildings’, so are not eligible
subjects for the competition.

Hi all,
Indeed France and Belgium both have many of these monuments, but I believe that
in France a lot of these wont be monument historique. Due to the fact that most
of their monuments are really really old and special. (there are ca 60.000
monuments in France but there are also that number
Àlex,
That is great news! I would love to see more WWI monuments and
memorials added (especially since I picnic-lunched at many of them
while on a bike trip through Belgium and France several years ago). It
was amazing to me to see how many small towns in Belgium and France
still have yearly ceremo
Hi all,
as some of you may know, I'm now also collaborating with Europeana in their
Wiki-related projects. I have a couple of good announcements to share with
you:
1) Again this year, Europeana will be an official partner of Wiki Loves
Monuments and will sponsor the main prize, as did last year.
Looks good!
One suggestion regarding the email address. Last year we had one
international winner that claimed to have activated his email address and
confirmed it, but then didn't allow emails to be sent. Strictly following
the rules, that was OK. Perhaps that is something you want to take into
