Re: [Wikilovesearth] Wiki Loves meetup at Wikimania

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Apparently in order to hijack a meeting room one has to write an email to Ed 
Saperia, the conference director. I have emailed him, let's see what he will 
suggest. As far as I can see Saturday evening should be fine for most people, I 
will try to find something on this day.

Hi all, 
I have found out that this year there will be no sessions dedicated to Wiki 
Loves Monuments or Wiki Loves Earth photo contests in the Wikimania conference 
programme. Ed Saperia (the conference director) suggested organising a meetup 
rather then a conference session, so I created  
https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_meetup   
So far I think it would be interesting to discuss the following: * Wiki Loves 
Earth 2014: the first international edition - thoughts, impressions, ideas, 
lessons for future * Future of Wiki Loves contests - do we want to have 
both WLE and WLM every year, alternate WLM and WLE, organise some new contest, 
stop international competitions or do something else? * probably Wiki Loves 
Monuments 2014, the first edition without dedicated international team 
(provided there will be enough people interested in it). 
If you have other topics to discuss, please add your suggestions! 
Please add your name   here  if you are interested in attending. The more we 
are, the more interesting discussion we will have and the better spot in the 
programme we will get :) 
P.S. Sorry for those who won't be at Wikimania, but I can't really find this 
out... 
Best regards and see you in London!

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Yes, you can add any official natural sites you have in your country. If 
Pakistan has game reserves and wildlife sanctures as natural sites, feel free 
to add them.

Hi Mervat, 
Could you please specify the dates of beginning and end of the contest? 
We could not register Jordan for the contest as you did not specify any dates. 
At the moment 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2015_in_Jordan says 
Load your pictures in ??? 2015 and 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2015 has just ? 
next to Jordan. We have created an upload campaign for you, but it is not

Re: [Wikilovesearth] WLE 2016

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Hi Gideon, 
Short answer: yes, it will take place in 2016, we (WMUA) have just got WMF 
approve funding of WLE 2016. Preparations required are similar to that of WLM 
(in particular it is highly recommended to have official lists of natural 
heritage). 
Long answer with more details (and pages on Commons) will follow early January 
after the holidays :)

[Wikilovesearth] Wiki Loves Earth international results delayed

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Dear organisers, participants and supporters, 
We are very sorry to inform you that the announcement of Wiki Loves Earth 
international results is delayed. 
All jurors have successfully completed their work and the results are ready, 
however, we have an issue with one of the top photos that is currently being 
discussed within the international team. 
Thus the results will not be announced today as initially planned, and 
unfortunately we have to delay this until further notice.  
We are sorry for this delay and we hope to be able to announce the results 
shortly.

[Wikilovesearth] Is your country organising Wiki Loves Earth this year?

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Dear Wikimedia colleagues,


After five wonderful editions of Wiki Loves Earth resulting in over 400,000 new 
photos on Commons (source: http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiloves/earth ), we are 
happy to invite you to the 5th edition of Wiki Loves Earth international photo 
contest - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2018


As a reminder, Wiki Loves Earth is focused on natural heritage (protected 
natural areas of all possible types) in different countries. Like Wiki Loves 
Monuments, the contest is organised in a federative way – meaning that it 
depends only on YOU and your affiliate/group if the contest will take place in 
your country.


Last year we had 36 participating countries organising local contests. 20 are 
already on the list for this year's edition.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2018
If you have already added you country to the table, please make sure that all 
information there is correct: dates of the contest, time zones, landing pages, 
links to the lists of natural sites etc.


== To join ==
In order to join please add your country on the contest page, you can learn 
more on how to organise a contest in your country (it’s not that difficult!) 
here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2018/Organise


== Dates of the contest ==
Of course, if you have everything ready (lists of objects are the most 
important!) you can start contest on May 1. But if you need to work a bit more 
on the preparations, you can run a local contest from May 15 to June 15, from 
June 1 to June 30, or on any other reasonable days within May-June 
(particularly if your country uses a different calendar). Contact us if you 
have things to discuss!


== Jury tool ==
Action plan for jury tool is the same as last year : 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Jury_tools


== Grants ==
If you need finances to be able to buy prizes and expenses, please try to apply 
for a rapid grant from the Foundation: WMF disburses grants for up to 2000 USD 
in this programme. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible as the last 
(really last, there will be no other opportunity before July) day to apply for 
a rapid grant is May 11: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid
For example, have a look at this rapid grant application for Latvia: 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/UG_LV/Wiki_Loves_Earth_Latvia_2017
 and Moldova: 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Gik%C3%BC/Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017_in_Moldova


== Blogposts media ==
If you have an interesting story to share, please contact us at 
wle-t...@wikimedia.org.ua or on social media.


== Contact us ==
We hope to see many new participants in Wiki Loves Earth this year and we are 
happy to help you if you have any questions. 
Please tell us what kind of assistance you would like to get from the 
international team! Just email us at wle-t...@wikimedia.org.ua to tell what you 
need to start in your country

[Wikilovesearth] Meet the WLE international jury (and sorry for the delay - winners will be announced soon!)

[Mykola Kozlenko]

Dear WLE organisers, friends and followers,
First of all, the Wiki Loves Earth international team would like to apologise 
for the delay with WLE international stage.
There are various reasons, from just being busy in real life to spending more 
time than expected on getting nominees from national organisers and setting up 
a truly diverse jury. Anyway, we owe you apologies for the delay and we are 
really sorry for that.

Now everything is sorted out, and we are glad to announce the international 
jury:
* Ananya Mondal, India (User:Atudu)
* Ayokanmi Oyeyemi, Nigeria (User:Kaizenify)
* Brendan Kenneth Duprey, PhD, United States/Eastern Europe
* Dietmar Bartz, Germany (User:Aalfons)
* Fayçal Rezkallah, Algeria (User:Fayçal Rezkallah)
* Fiona Ayerst, South Africa
* Renato Martins, Brazil (User:Renato Augusto Martins)

You can find their profiles on the contest website: 
http://wikilovesearth.org/meet-the-2018-international-jury/

Finally, the information you are definitely waiting for: the international jury 
is currently working on the final stage of judging and we will know the winning 
photos soon. We plan to announce them around 15 December (+/- few days 
depending on judging and opportunities for announcement).

Once again, we are sorry for the delay, and once we announce the winners we 
will have a discussion on how we can avoid this next year.

Best regards,
Mykola Kozlenko (NickK)

Hi all,

I would like to use this occasion to thank Anastasiia for coordinating two 
editions of Wiki Loves Earth in 2020 and 2021 - not the easiest job given the 
pandemics, but a successful one. I am glad that even if she will not be working

Dear all,

I am delighted to share with you that Wikimedia Ukraine has hired a new project 
manager dedicated specifically to Wiki Loves Earth.

Her name is Iryna Yehiazarova; you can contact her at 
iryna.yehiazar...@wikimedia.org.ua or 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:IrynaYehiazarova_(WMUA). Iryna is an 
art historian and researcher. She loves big city life with its museums, parties 
and exhibitions but confesses that being in nature makes her feel much happier. 
She is excited about joining our community, exploring the world and raising 
awareness about nature heritage sites together.

The organizing team is currently onboarding her. Within a couple of weeks, she 
will become the individual in charge of ensuring that international Wiki Loves 
Earth 2022 runs smoothly and that the volunteer organizing team provides 
necessary support to the contest and particularly to local teams.

Shortly, she will provide an update on the contest and the international team's 
advice on how to deal with coronavirus spread in the contest of Wiki Loves 
Earth.

If you have general questions about Wiki Loves Earth, you can always contact us 
at wle-t...@wikimedia.org.ua. If you have questions to me specifically, feel 
free to drop a line at anastasiia.petr...@wikimedia.org.ua. I will stay 
dedicated to the contest's mission and will be helping the team with some 
specific tasks moving to a volunteer position in WMUA.
