WereSpielChequers, I talked about that in the thread, if WLM and WLE would be closer (some countries are) to communities WP, Commons,... the result would be better. " I would like to see Wikimedia Commons volunteers be involved in the process, to create more clear, précised, and aligned rules for the contest, otherwise they will use Commons as a uploader" same for WP. This communities, directly impacted by this contests should develop the metrics, not the ones requesting money.
How this projects will help WP/Commons if they are not listening the communities? They probably are creating more problem than solutions. This talk is about that: https://www.ted.com/talks/ernesto_sirolli_want_to_help_someone_shut_up_and_listen?language=en On 31 October 2015 at 18:57, WereSpielChequers <werespielchequ...@gmail.com> wrote: > Maybe it is time to reconsider some of our standard metrics for wiki loves > monuments. > > One of the big gains in several countries has been to get a list of > monuments into Wikipedia maybe in future direct into wikidata.
