Hi Beat,
I've been thinking about the future too. I wanted to send something in
October, but it looks like we already started. As you know I was one of
the people who started Wiki Loves Monuments a couple of years ago and I
organized it for three years (Netherlands 2010, Netherlands/Europe 201
I'm with Ilario on this. This year we had about fifty countries
participate, but there are many more which could take part in a "natural"
features event. Take Georgia for example, like most ex-soviet states it has
a non-commercial freedom of panorama, and very few old monuments in the
cities where
The Program Evaluation & Design team is here when needed. Evaluation is
voluntary, and can only help to show you what an impact your program (i.e.
WLM) is making, and to see how you can make a bigger impact, especially for
"less bang for your buck" as we say in the US (meaning "more impact for
less
I disagree: the volunteers are extremely important in every aspect of
deciding if, which and how there will be a contest. Without a drive of the
volunteers for the topic and method of the competition, nothing will happen
successfully. Lots of stuff went wrong this year - and most of it was fixed
by
I agree, but you are not speaking about doing or not doing a photo contest
next year, but to change the objectives.
I may understand if you would switch the contest by writing poems and not
taking photos, in this case the volunteers involvement is important, but
the discussion is mainly to define
My personal thoughts, and obviously dependent on the availability of
volunteers over here etc.
I believe the UK will want to participate in an 'international photo
competition' around this time next year. However, we may also want to run
Wiki Loves Monuments locally even if there isn't an internat
Please note that I said we should have this discussion by the end of
October, not a few months before the event.
The quality of the discussion and the success of the ongoing competition is
more important to me than how convenient it is for the budget planning of
individual chapters. They can work
Let's explain why it may be important not to have a clear picture but at
least to define the strategy for 2014... some countries are defining the
budget for 2014, mainly for FDC, and they have to define the project plan
for next year.
If WLM is not done, I suppose that there would be a general dis
Again, I suggest we have this discussion in October :) We still have a lot
of work to be done, and that makes it harder to be honest while keeping up
motivation too.
I'm not sure if a 'formal' evaluation process would be helpful here - most
of the measures won't be available. There will be an eval
Honestly I would suggest a competition which will not face copyright
problems.
A Wiki Loves Earth will give less problems than a Wiki Loves Arts. I don't
remember that animals or plants can ask for fee or for copyrights or for
privacy.
Some countries like Italy, for instance, will have to do a lo
Hello Lodewijk,
I want to thank you for this statement, I think it's really important that you
give the signal that it may be the time to take the time to think about the
future of WLM in other words than just "how we do it again".
In Switzerland I've been really critical about WLM the last two
Hi all,
I do agree with Lodewijk. Once the contest is finished, we need to have
some calmed discussion on what do we want 2014 to be. Some contests have
raisen up and we all have pro/cons feelings and experiences.
Some options have already been raised. We could also use some of the
program evalua
>From the experiences made co organizing the first wlm in Switzerland and
helping out with the first wlm in Ghana i can fully support what lodewijk
is writing. Having one big international competition helps a lot locally.
And having the same initiative every year bears the risk of tiring out the

I had an interesting discussion with a professional photographer of animals.
I invited him to participate to WLM and he refused because the modality to
take a photo of an animal is different from the monument one.
The monument doesn't move... so I agree that the objective has to be
changed instea

Hi Beat and all,
Conducting Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Public Art are good to start.
We have many media in the commons especially photographs unused in any
project.
