> A wonderful message! Thanks a lot for sharing. I translated into French and shared it to our mailing list. This is so inspiring that it just needs to be shared. If we have more feedback like this, I hope we can share it somewhere > together. I’ll take this opportunity to share this link that Adrienne found at the beginning of the month : <http://emiloulie.blogspot.com/2011/10/wiki-loves-monuments.html> It’s a blogpost in French, written by a 16 years old girl living in Romania, and it is easily one of the cutest and freshest things I have ever read in six years of Wikimedia. As I said at the time on the French ML : “This is Wiki Loves Monuments. 16 years-old kids grabbing their bikes to see the cultural heritage around, and finding out that they can help Wikipedia. A French girl, born in the United States and living in Romania, taking part in a European contest spearheaded by Dutch.” This is really an extraordinary story that we are part of, don’t you think? :-) Following is the most faithful translation I can provide. :-) (@Romania organisers : folks, I hope your jury will consider sending the girl a prize :-) -- Jean-Frédéric > > Wiki loves Monuments Hello everyone! > > I hope you spent a good week, because we did ! The challenge that we had > to do was very nice, and allowed us to visit a bit the city. > I don’t know if you know, but Wikipedia has organised a competition in > Europe last month (September). In ten countries of the European Union a > list of monuments was created. We had to take a picture of all these > monuments so that Wikipedia could then put them in their databases. > Here is the website : http://wikilovesmonuments.fr/ > > Fortunately for us, Romania was one of the competing countries! So we > decided to take part to this treasure hunt. > First, we found the list of all the monuments to photograph in our city. > Then we looked for those that were accessible and near our home. This took > a lot of time but in the end we managed to make our own list. > This Thursday, we went with our bikes all well prepared for the event. We > had to go to the post office so we took this opportunity to take pictures > of : the C.D. Loga high school, the Carmen Silva high school, and a very > old hospital. > > We had in all two hours of biking! > > On Friday, as I was preparing lunch, Noé and Mom went to photograph the > Eiffel bridge and the city fire station. > > We sent everything to Wikipedia :) hoping we will get a prize... > Later, > Emiloulie >
