Hi, WLM 2018 is just 7 days away and the organization team from India is working in full force to get everything ready before the mega-event starts on September 1.
Our newest update - 1) We have checked all the English Wikipedia lists on Monuments of National Importance and State Protected Monuments of different states and union territorries and corrected obvious errors caused by vandalism, which were there for last few years, causing severe mismatch with ASI lists. The list of monuments to be covered this year is here - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018_in_India/Monuments 2) Thanks to Balaji, Tamil community is working on a list of >12,000 monuments situated in Tamil Nadu, which are not protected by ASI or state government. The list has been included in this year's competition, and by doing this, we are extending the scope of the event beyond ASI monuments. The list can be found here - https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/7bs9 3) Thanks to Wikidata Wikiproject India participants, we are now more organized in Wikidata than before. This year, we are focusing on creating Wikidata entries of all Monuments of National Importance and State Protected Monuments of India and hope to finish the job before the WLM competition starts next year. The details of the ongoing work can be found here - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Built_heritage/ASI_Monuments 4) The event page in Commons is ready for translation. Happy translating! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018_in_India Thanks, Bodhisattwa
