[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Fwd: Reminder how to nominate
Forwarding this to the announce-mailing list. -- Forwarded message - From: Erina Mukuta Date: Tue, Oct 2, 2018 at 4:11 AM Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Reminder how to nominate To: Cc: Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators, Thank you for an amazing job in the past weeks and months in organizing what seems to have been yet again an amazing competition in more than 56 countries! It's great to see all the beautiful images that have been submitted. As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is based on a federalized model: there's a national competition in each country, with a national organizing team, a national jury and national winners. The national jury determines up to (maximum) 10 images that will be submitted to the international finale. These ten images should be submitted via email to the international jury coordinator before the deadline: erinamuk...@gmail.com. Unless you have agreed a different deadline with Lily (in cc), this deadline is 31 October, 23:59 UTC. But if you like me, please send them at least a few days before that time. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale. When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into account: * Submit no more than ten images per (national) competition. It is OK to submit less images, for example if you don't find enough images of high quality. * Submit the images to: erinamuk...@gmail.com , and include in the CC at least one (additional) jury member besides yourself. Please also include in the cc. * If the results are still not public (if you plan to announce them later publicly), please add the planned announcement date. Please note that we will announce the international winners in December, and will not wait for national announcements. * Submit for each image: URL, File name on Wikimedia Commons and Author username * Check basic information about the images. It is NOT possible to replace finalists after the deadline! ** that the author has activated their email function on Wikimedia Commons. If we cannot email the user there, they may automatically forfeit any prize. You can help them by posting a message on their talk page, or tracking them down through social media. ** that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also described in English) ** that the image is freely licensed *If you want to use the jury tool, please sign up for it( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage#Montage_and_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018 ) If you want, there are opportunities to share your national winners also on the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us about this - more information about this soon. Thanks a lot for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received, this will result in a pool of some 350-430 images for the international jury to consider. The international jury is described on this page. The jury will first rate all images with 1-5 stars, from which a top-40/60 will be considered. Then, the jurors will have the opportunity to remove images from the selection, which they consider unfit. Finally, they are asked to rank their top-25 images, and share their reasoning. We will create a jury report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in the first two weeks of December (depending on the swiftness of jury report creation and media opportunities). We're looking forward to the judging process!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] National landing pages: Make sure you have a great one
Hi everyone, A good landing page is important to keep your participants involved, and make sure they actually submit their images. Last year and in the past few months, I had several discussions with some of you about what a landing page for a country could look like. This is why I took some effort to put together what I think is a combination of some good examples. I created both an explanation <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation/Landing_page?venotify=created#Main_elements> and an example <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation/Example_landing_page#Where_are_the_monuments%3F>. I tried to keep it as simple as possible for Wikimedians with little experience (as little as possible templates etc). Martin has kindly offered to help make this design responsive, but depends here on the WMF implementing some software changes, which are scheduled for the next weeks. In the mean time, I invite you to look at the page, give feedback or make improvements. I hope this will be a helpful addition to our documentation shelf <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation>. The example can definitely be much improved! You can also already start adapting the text of the page to your country's situation. You will be able to copy and paste that text into the new design. The content should roughly be the same. If you have any questions, please do reach out. We're a bit understaffed this year, but we should be able to help out where we can :) Best, Lodewijk ___ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

Yes! I can confirm it would be especially a great idea to talk with Woubzena during Wikimania if you have: - questions whether your idea for events fall within the scope - want help with drafting Don't be scared - she's a great and helpful person :) If you want to know more about what other teams did in the past, or want other feedback, feel free to drop by me too.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Making Wiki Loves Monuments thrive in Africa
Hi all, If you're interested in helping Wiki Loves Monuments be more of a success in Africa by sharing or learning, and if you're participating in Wikimania this year, I would suggest that you consider joining the 'Making Wiki Loves Monuments thrive in Africa' meetup on Saturday during Wikimania, from 18:00-19:00. See for more information here: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Effeietsanders/Make_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_thrive_across_Africa You can also sign up there, so that we know what and who to expect :) If you can't be there, you can still leave some suggestions or thoughts on that page to consider.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Grants: deadline on 1 August!
Hi all, If you are organizing Wiki Loves Monuments in a country without existing funding structures for Wiki Loves Monuments, you have the possibility to request a 'Rapid Grant' at the Wikimedia Foundation. This is a low barrier program that should make it easy to request smaller grants with minimal effort. You can find more information about the program here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid The requirements and documentation may seem a little overwhelming, but it's really not that impossible if you have a clear idea what you need the money for. Writing a proposal hopefully takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and the report about the same amount of time. You can use these funds for example to fund prizes for your national winners, to organize a prize ceremony, to organize a photo workshop and/or photo walk, etc. This is all optional, but a great opportunity to get more people involved in your group! However, there is a deadline here. To maximize the chance that you actually get your funds before the start of the competition on 1 September, you must make your application *BEFORE 1 AUGUST*. That still leaves you plenty of time, but it does mean you should ideally start now. Please note that we did reach an agreement with the grants team that Wiki Loves Monuments grants can, by exception, also submit between 16 and 31 July. If you submit earlier, it can also be approved earlier. If you need any help writing a grant request, you can ask me or someone from the grants team for support. If you want to meet at Wikimania to discuss or draft together, that is totally possible!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Some help needed: design a good default landing page
Hi all, One of the hard things that national teams run into year after year, is setting up a good landing page. In the past we have offered wordpress templates to help teams with a good default option. However, we want to slowly move towards having an excellent default option on Wikimedia Commons. Who would be willing to help design that and set it up in an easy to edit way? I'd love to brainstorm a little more with one or two others about this, but I was thinking some basic requirements should be: - setting up the landing page has to be possible without extensive knowledge of wiki markup or templates - it has to work in both RTL and LTR (or we create two versions, fine with me too) - it has to support multiple languages - it needs to have a super clear workflow for participants: point out the basics of the competitions, where to find the monuments and how to upload. - be low maintenance and easy to set up, with possibility to expand as a country has a more complex setup/requirements.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Wiki Loves Monuments 2018 - basic info and sign up!
Hi everyone, It's that exciting time of the year again, Wiki Loves Monuments is getting started! I know several of you have already started, but if you haven't: this is a great time to do so! The idea behind Wiki Loves Monuments is to invite the general audience in your country to photograph built heritage and share it with the world through Wikimedia Commons. We do that through a federated competition, which means that the national teams are key to our success: they organize the national competitions. At the end of the process, the national juries can nominate up to 10 photos to the international jury. The international jury will then consider those photos once again, and select the international winners. We will announce the prizes for the international winners later. If you are a group of Wikimedians, a chapter or user group that is interested in participating (again) this year, then please sign up! You can find a list of countries that has already done so here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Participating_countries If you want to know how to organize, please reach out to one of the members of the international team <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2018/Organizers#International_team>. You can also leave a message on the help desk <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Help_desk> or send an email to the public mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments>. We do have a fair amount of documentation <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation> available, but some of it may be outdated (we appreciate any help in improving it!). Like last year, we've also added a tab called 'Organizers' in Wiki Loves Monuments landing page on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Organizers We'd like to encourage you to add your name and those of your team members with a short description to the list. This information is helpful for those from outside of the Movement or the project who end up on that page and want to learn more about your national competition, it also provides an opportunity for us to get to know each other via this one page. :) Every year, there are more than 150 national organizers that make Wiki Loves Monuments happen and it would be great to know more about all of these amazing people. :) We will also have a presence at Wikimania this year, and organize a meetup. Please keep an eye out! If you like to stay informed, make sure you're a member of our discussion mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments> ( wikilovesmonuments@lists.wikimedia.org ). The most important announcements are also sent to our announcement mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce>: if you don't have much capacity for emails, please at least make sure multiple people in your team are subscribed to that!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Reflecting on Wiki Loves Monuments - we need your input!
Hi all, In 2019, Wiki Loves Monuments will be organized for the 10th time. As we will be celebrating this achievement, we would like to use this opportunity to reflect on the years behind us and learn how we can improve Wiki Loves Monuments. We have created a short survey to ask you to help us learn about the areas that we can do better within our mission: to freely document and raise awareness about the monuments, increase contributions to Wikimedia projects, and bolster local Wikimedia communities. I would like to invite you all to help us think about this by filling out this 4 minute survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdG0Dx9CBo613D5XdQ-nCzCe7P_F2k0niSXTBtO6rbOR6Ps3Q/viewform?usp=sf_link We still want to do all of this through an annual, federated, global, low-barrier photo competition, please keep that in mind as the frame we'd like to operate under. While your thoughts and recommendations about any aspect of Wiki Loves Monuments are welcome, we will be paying extra attention to recommendations that can help the contest become more global: to help us empower more people from more diverse demographics to join the project, as organizers, jurors, participants, and beyond. Thank you for your time in advance.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] SVG map - some help needed
Hi all, as usual, I'd like to keep a visualization of our participating countries. See here for 2017 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Participating_Countries_WLM_2017.svg>. Unfortunately, that map is a bit outdated (in particular South Sudan is not separate yet). Could anyone help me set up a new version of this map with an updated world map? Ideally with the same style (white countries with grey borders & oceans, including antarctica). Thanks in advance!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Wiki Loves Monuments: important information about rapid grants this year. Time sensitive.
Dear national organizers, I'd like to make all national organizers aware of the altered deadlines and process for rapid grants. Unless exceptions are made for Wiki Loves Monuments, please note the following: - *Timeline*: the submission timeline for rapid grants is very limited this year. You can *only submit before 11 May *(4 days from now) *or between 1 and 15 July*! Do not plan to submit after 1 August, there is no guarantee that it will be processed in time. - *Expect delays*: Given the altered timeline, I expect a high number of applications in the limited timeframe. Please assume delays in review and approval, although the WMF undoubtly does their best to process requests timely. - *Amount*: Rapid grants have a *maximum of USD 2000*, as usual. Starting 1 July, the WMF introduces a *minimum amount of USD 500*. This means that if you're planning to submit a rapid grant below that amount, you have to submit it before 11 May, or come up with ways to spend more money. - *Submit a grant request & more information*: Submitting a grant request is supposed to be fairly easy through this process. You can find more information about submitting a grant request here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid - *Get help?* If you're new to our movement, you may be a little overwhelmed by some of the process (it's designed to be as easy as possible - but is optimized for experienced Wikimedians). Please feel free to ask for help on our public mailing list wikilovesmonuments AT lists.wikimedia.org or by emailing me or another member of the international team. Please don't feel shy about reaching out for help! Below, you'll find the official message by the grant officer Woubzena Jifar - above I tried to summarize what I see as likely implications for Wiki Loves Monuments.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Some lessons and insights from WikiIndaba with regards to Wiki Loves Monuments
Hi all! I just published some of my findings from the very encouraging conversations I had during WikiIndaba. As you probably know, Wiki Loves Monuments has been especially successful in some parts of the world. The international team expressed the desire to explore the opportunities and challenges that Wiki Loves Monuments faces in (sub-Saharan) Africa, and how we could further develop the concept to make it both more accessible and more impactful. For this purpose, I attended WikiIndaba, the Wikimedia Conference for organizers of Wikimedia activities across Africa. This is the best group to learn how we can improve our concept and methods to suit the needs of African organizers. A session to introduce WLM and explore the challenges and opportunities with national organizers was accepted, but was last minute merged with the session dedicated to the future on Wiki Loves Africa. Most of the people I talked with either organized Wiki Loves Monuments in the past, or expressed an interest to do so in the future, if there would be no obstacles. The conversations focused mostly on challenges and how to address those, and I skipped for these purposes the positive feedback we received (an effective way to build community capacity, a nice way to get people involved in the community, returning new contributors, pride of the result achieved, a good entrance to start conversations with partners, etc). In this report, I'll aggregate with a focus on future continuation. None of the points is generalizable for the countries - Africa is an incredibly diverse continent, and it would not be helpful to assume that all problems described are equally (if at all) relevant to all countries. I tried to cluster the information somewhat, and provide context where possible. This is intended as input for a conversation, which would be a next step. Your thoughts on these issues, and especially other challenges you think may be missing from this overview, would be most welcome! Lodewijk Finance/Grant: Organizers were challenged by the grant practices. One grantee described how they were granted funds, but due to the timing of the approval process (near the end of September), they were only able to execute it in a limited fashion. This reduced their effectiveness significantly. Approval speed (and execution speed) was reported in general as suboptimal. Some reported that grant committees would add 'suggestions' to change their activity. Organizers felt pressured to follow them, even though they didn't feel it helped the cause. User Groups can also only request 3 grants at the same time. This limits the larger UG's in their activities, and can mean that they have to skip WLM because of it, or request it in an untimely manner. A smoother and guaranteed pipeline would be helpful. A follow-up conversation with WMF Rapid Grants was scheduled in the weeks after Wiki Indaba, and resulted in a number of action items for future collaboration. Collaborations: Many wanted to increase local collaborations, but several countries reported that they did not get the kind of appreciation as you'd hope due to not being incorportated. They feel that more international support (letters of support, introductions, etc) could be beneficial. This is even more relevant for sponsorships. International bodies/networks: Especially when contacting the government, some support from UNESCO-like organizations could be helpful. We should look into how to build those relationships in a consistent manner. Quality: National organizers felt that the quality of their images was not able to compete with European images. That is discouraging to photographers and organizers alike. Transportation: People need to travel to monuments to photograph them. People need to travel to ceremonies to accept their award. Not everyone can afford that. Several countries described that they organized tours to bring photographers to the monuments, with the expectation that they then upload the images. Movement is not a free resource, and people need to be at the monument to photograph it. This did bring several challenges though, in order to perfect the pipeline (how do they actually upload the images). Definitions: We may be dealing with different concepts of what constitutes 'heritage'. Some are because of practical concerns (copyright, official status), some are more conceptual. The concept is all too often tied to the colonial history. Diverse African Heritage: Freedom of Panorama is a blocker. A significant number of African countries faces a limitation of heritage that can be photographed due to copyright restrictions. Organizing Wiki Loves Monuments can both be a motivation for us why we want to reduce those restrictions, but it can also be a PR-tool in persuading policy makers. Copyright restrictions lead to a distorted depiction of African heritage. Also the monument lists are often restricted to more or less the colonial era. Diversifying the lists is essential
[Wiki Loves Monuments] 3 dimensional documentation
Hi all, As some of you may have noticed, Wikimedia is now supporting the upload of 3D models of objects. See this WMF blog post <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/02/20/three-dimensional-models/>. I'm just curious: are there any national competitions planning to focus even slightly on 3D submissions in the coming year(s)? Do we know if it's even feasible for such large buildings?

[Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM 2018 grant request - input welcome
Hi all, The Wiki Loves Monuments international team is working on our grant request for the 2018 international efforts. Given the challenges, we have set a few focus areas, with special attention to our infrastructure. We hope to make it easier for national organizers to attend the competition. This also means making some choices, and those are reflected in our draft. The draft is still somewhat rough, but I wanted to publish this already, to give you an opportunity to provide input. To streamline the conversation, I kindly request that you do this through the talkpage as much as possible, or email the international team list if you want to bring up something sensitive. If you don't like something, please try to suggest how it can be improved. Given time constraints, I also would request that you provide input earlier rather than later. We will need to agree on a final version in the team, and there are several of us that are having multiple colliding deadlines and other time sinks :) The deadline for this proposal is 31 January (timezone unclear, so assuming UTC) - please provide your input at the latest on 30 January UTC. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_international_team/2018_coordination Thank you!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] checking commons uploads for malfunctions
OK, went through ~1/3 of that list. Quite boring :)
I found mostly users from France and Germany that uploaded images from
monumental buildings but that did not participate with WLM. Some from
Spain. May be worth the effort to ask them if they're aware of the
competition, and whether they are trying to participate. They upload
typically quite a lot of photos, and are not newcomers. That leads me to
the impression that even if they are trying to participate, they are
probably not following recommended processes.
In case a local organizer wants to follow-up:

[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Some countries on hold
Hi all, We're a few hours away from kicking off in the first countries! Very exciting of course. While we're aware that some countries are working hard against the deadline, we have to work with the information available. We noticed that some countries don't have a functional landing page yet, and that means that they are not ready to receive thousands of people on their landing page. We don't want to send all those people there just to get lost. For the countries where we identify that issue, we will put their competition 'on hold'. That means that the upload campaigns will become active and experienced Wikipedians who know where to go, can start uploading on September 1. However, we will not activate the banners on top of the Wikimedia projects yet. The end of the competition will not be extended because of this and remain the same. Romaine is in charge of this, and will make the final determination if a banner is ready - on behalf of the international team. We're keeping an overview of the countries that are on hold on the talkpage of the list of participating countries <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Participating_countries#Countries_on_hold> . We try to ping the coordinators, but please do check if your country is affected in the next hours. We encourage everyone to fix these problems as soon as possible, so that we can go live without too much delay. You can find the requirements for the landing pages here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Landing_pages Also if you're not affected: if you want to help these countries (if you speak their language), please feel free to help out!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] (re)Creating lists in Nepal - help appreciated
Thanks for the thoughts, Nicolas. Right now, some help to get these pages restored and then helping to edit (add reference and introduction) & move them would be great. Not sure if that needs admins. To answer your questions: * I'm actually not sure if there's another list in Nepali. But those lists are language sensitive, so having an English list on newiki wouldn't make a lot of sense. I guess you also wouldn't appreciate those on frwiki? ;) That being said, there are some 123 languages <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Nepal> being spoken in Nepal. * The lists for Kosi have been restored before the admin realized it was 200+ pages, and decided it needed more discussion. But the good part is that you can now see what all the other lists look like. It is also an opportunity to show what they can become. An example would be the Indian list I linked, I think. But it needs some creativity. * There is a source, in Nepali :) It is linked in the list of lists (of lists) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal>.

Hey all, A while back we discussed the lists in Nepal.

A requirement I at least wasn't aware of. These articles were moved from the project namespace to the draft namespace last year, after this discussion <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal> . Right now, a discussion is ongoing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion.2FWikipedia:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal_-_drafts_now_deleted> how to resolve this on admins noticeboard, because apparently it's normal to delete 200+ pages immediately, but restoring them requires discussion :) Some helpful suggestions and actual help to turn these drafts into normal mainspace lists would be appreciated. I assume it should be possible to turn these lists into encyclopedic lists, given that there's a good reference available (see the main list of lists <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal>). An introduction similar to that of Indian Monuments <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monuments_of_National_Importance_in_Bihar> should also be doable. Any takers?

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] video from wikipedia
Hi Johnattan, (for a little context: this video is about the Wikimedia strategy for 2030, and was recently released on Wikimania. Definitely do watch it, hopefully it inspires you to participate in the process. Not directly for Wiki Loves Monuments, but of course important for the broader Wikimedia movement) You can find the video file also on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_belongs_to_all_of_us_-_2030.wikimedia.org.webm . Here, you can also create/edit a translation. Click on 'TimedText' on top of the page. First you select 'English' to copy the English version, then you copy it to 'Español' and you can start translating!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 360º pictures in wlm
Correct, and there's not going to be a change this year with that. If you want to encourage 360 degree photos, the best way may be to prepare a blogpost with best practices and tips from an experienced producer for the WLM blog?

Thanks a lot, Andre! This was a question that indeed came up yesterday, and also has come up over the past years several times. If someone uses this extensively, I would invite you to document it a bit (including examples what are helpful WLM-related messages etc) - I think it would be helpful to other countries too. Please let me know if you'd be willing to do some documentation there. Lovely, everyone!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM international team grant request : invitation for comments
Hi all, We're headed to another exciting year of Wiki Loves Monuments! As you may have read before, the international team is full with ambition to make the lives of the national organizers easier, including efforts to improve the infrastructure and start a slow move towards including more monument data in our shared Wikidata repository. Lily has presented our ambitions also in Berlin, so the slides of her presentation here <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20170331_-_New_Ambitions_for_Wiki_Loves_Monuments.pdf>, may be interesting to you as background. Important initiatives include this year: * Maintain the level of infrastructure and support from previous year * Start the migration of monument data to Wikidata * Enrich monuments data * Make monuments data better discoverable through the Monumental tool * Make it easier to monitor your campaigns To realise these ambitions, we have requested a grant <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_international_team/2017_coordination> <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_international_team/2017_coordination>by the Wikimedia Foundation for the international team. While the activities outlined above are done in volunteer time, the grant helps set the conditions and focus on what we're best at :) As always, we warmly invite you to share your feedback on this on the talkpage or directly with us. The grant request includes more elaboration, and is currently under review. If you have any questions with regards to the ambitions in general, or other questions about this year's WLM, this mailing list is probably the best place to ask. With warm regards, Lodewijk ___ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] documentation - jury process
Hi Saqib, the international jury coordinator (which is appointed/delegated by the international team) selects jury members based on the criteria explained in the documentation.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] documentation - jury process
Hi all, In the past year, I was responsible again for the international jury process. As I would like to transfer this responsibility to someone else coming year, I decided to thoroughly document it on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation/International_jury_process>. You'll find a timeline, a list of responsibilities and template emails. I know that this doesn't exactly match the jury process that is being organized in most countries, but perhaps some of it is of use to national jury coordinators as well - at least as a matter of inspiration. At the same time, it may be of use to you if you're planning to organize another photo competition on an international level. Either way, if you have feedback on the documentation, please leave it on the talkpage, and if you spot factual errors, you're encouraged to fix them. I'm also collecting more documentation pages on this documentation portal <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation> for Wiki Loves Monuments. Perhaps you know of documentation that could be added? Please do so! At some point I will probably reorganize it a bit, so feel free to just add things.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] How can we put together a more rigorous screening
Hi Alexander, Thanks for sharing your experiences again. It is appreciated. There are (at least) three issues playing in parallel here, and while they interfere, they require different approaches: * Sometimes admins move too quickly or don't follow the right process. This is something we have to sort out through the regular channels on Commons - because it affects all uploads and not just Wiki Loves Monuments. I don't want to downplay this, but to some extent, this will always happen. * We need to find good pathways to identify photos that are not matching criteria. Sometimes we can make the extra effort to fix it (like in this case, where someone has removed information that was already there). Someone could make a tool to identify these images, and make a report. This seems to be what you're asking: to be informed. If normal processes are followed, a deletion template/category would be added to the image, and this is actually something that could be reported by a bot. You'd only need to find someone to write that for you. * What I was concerned about, is that an image gets deleted after the jury process is finished for a valid reason. This happened a few times. There is nothing we can do (or should want to do) to avoid these deletions. However, what I can imagine, is a better process to detect these images earlier, so that they are not nominated in the first place. I went through the top-50 manually, and checked for all kind of suspicious activity. If the metadata looked suspicious, or if anything was missing, I would contact the author. I know that at least one national team also checked each image through google images to see if it was available elsewhere on the web. However, that doesn't scale. But, I'd like to collect approaches here, and then maybe someone can come up with a good way to automate :) I hope that clarifies.

Thanks! OK, so in this case the information was apparently removed <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:%EB%B4%84%EC%9D%B4_%EC%98%A8_%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90_%ED%99%94%EC%84%B1.jpg=prev=230157217>by someone unrelated to the author - very odd - and deleted by an admin without further checking. I restored the image on the list of winners. The general question for best practices stands though - especially given the deletions that sometimes happen with regards to freedom of panorama. It would be nice if we could at least catch those earlier.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] How can we put together a more rigorous screening
Hey all, As I noted that two of the national nominees have been deleted after their nomination, I was curious, are there any process improvements we could consider to avoid this to some extent? I would be curious to hear some best practices that countries have implemented to check for formalities. For example, I noted that one image from Korea was deleted apparently because the licese was missing. I'm guessing that this is something we could check for semi-automated. Are there countries that do this? I do some manual checking for the top-50 internationally, just before we enter the final round. But it is very hard to scale that, and it eats up a lot of time. Any other ideas?

Hi Johnattan, To the best of my knowledge, no translation efforts are underway currently. So if you want to take it up and translate relevant parts - please do! You can translate and repost as you wish. While the blog post of wikilovesmonuments.org is default in English only, you could translate pages on Commons quite well (such as the winners page and the descriptions of the individual images).

Hey Neville, I've heard that for this kind of tasks, typically a tool like Powerpoint is surprisingly useful. You can re-use the text fields etc, and only have to copy & paste some things. The slideyou can set to the exact format of your expected print. Another option is Publisher, but this is less likely to be available.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] International jury pool complete, international finale starts.
Hi all, The international jurypool is now closed, and contains 392 images from 41 national competitions (if nothing comes up as problematic during import). It was a great joy to see many of the beautiful nominated pictures. I thank everyone who has submitted their nominees with care following the outlined process. We will be setting up the jury process now, and the international jury will soon start with its work. Their process and membership is described here <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/jury/>. One final juror may be added still. We have not checked all nominees for validity. We will soon be importing the images nominated into the jury tool. For this particular finale, we will take extra care to import the version as it was 'live' by the end of the competition in that country - and to ignore all edits made after that point. If you're aware of exceptional situations where this would be especially problematic (for example: the image was vandalized and replaced just before closing, and reverted shortly after), please get in touch with me privately. We are planning to go through this process in a steady and thorough pace - and finish the process by the end of November. We expect to announce the winners officially in the first two weeks of December - depending on challenges with regards to the jury report, press and checks & balances for particular images. I hope you're looking forward to the winners as much as we are!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] how to label photos that won't be part of the competition
Yeah, a good definition is important here :) We could also make both categories: "Disqualified images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016" and "Not considered images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016" (or if someone knows a better category name, just suggest it). The first should include images that were removed on formal grounds, the second images that were removed from consideration for other reasons. For the record: both would not be considered as 'part of the competition' for Guinness World Record purposes, if that were to become relevant again. For that, they actually need to compete for the prizes somehow.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] how to label photos that won't be part of the competition
Would it be helpful to create one category on an international level with excluded images (because of copyvio, or because the uploader is out-of-competition) so that the jury tools can directly draw upon that? You could put national out-of-competition categories immediately into that.

Hi all, As I'm working on finalizing the international jury for this year (more details below, that I shared before), there are some specific characteristics that I would especially appreciate suggestions for (keeping the mentioned constraints in mind): - Wikimedia Commons uploaders with a lot of features/good quality images - A Wikipedian that is very active in the heritage articles field (and also has a sense for quality images) - Someone with a background in countries in Asia, Africa, North America and/or Eastern Europe. - A professional prize winning photographer Or a combination of those, of course!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM photos are deleted on Commons
Hi Alexander, When walking in a kitchen, it should not be surprising that many people walk toward you with a knife - they are maybe not following security protocol (leave the knife at the cutting station etc), but you should still assume good faith. Luckily, the results of their actions are mostly extra work, and not fatal here. You're correct that a more civil approach would be welcome. The same goes for WLM-russia, by the way (while you have good intentions and are clearly trying to focus on the arguments, you come across as quite agressive). We will still need to work together. Please don't assume that admins actually will read your guidelines. They won't. If they read the templates, that would already be a big surprise - there are simply too many of them, and it would cost them too much time. They typically process high quantities of images in short amounts of time. Then things go wrong. So you'll still have to go in there and discuss the issue patiently probably. If you want these collaborations to work more smoothly: don't wetten your knife unless you're prepared to help cutting the vegetables. But stay civil, and remain patient. Annoying, but more effective.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM photos are deleted on Commons
Hey Alexander, Assuming good faith is always good - even if you have to work harder for it. It makes the interactions more pleasant and the work more fun. So I will always recommend to keep doing it - even if it goes against your natural response. The case where the names don't seem to match seems like a valid case to me to ask questions, and this process is (unfortunately) the process being used for that at Wikimedia Commons. It is uncomfortable, but it is what we have to deal with. Because there are so many pictures, there is a bunch to be expected. I'm not going to pretend that the Wikimedia Commons community is always easy or fun to work with - but their intentions are usually good. They are very tough on copyright, and very suspicious. While these are some disadvantages, it does allow us to use a lot of shared infrastructure, and makes competitions like this one possible on an international scale. Please do realise that the number of uploads typically raises with 30-100% during Wiki Loves Monuments, and this puts some stress/strain on the reviewers too.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Photo eligibility
Hi all, As this relates probably, I think it might be clear to clarify this question from the perspective of the international jurying. The method with which images are uploaded are to the international competition not a blocker - the question is whether they have the correct template (not the category!) on their pages. The template will also add the category automatically. Also, it is important that the monument is properly identified. If people add this after upload, that is fine. But I would say they have to do it before the end of the competition. You can't add the template for them without their explicit permission, because that would mean entering someone else into a competition they didn't sign up for. That would not be a Good Thing :) Best, Lodewijk 2016-09-06 4:47 GMT-07:00 Nicu Buculei <nicub...@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 10:47 AM, Neville Borg wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I have a question regarding eligibility of photos - we are receiving many > > photos (mostly from one user) for monuments that are on our list, but are > > not uploaded through the WLM wizard.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Call for suggestions for the international jury
Hi all, Like every year, we need to put together a good jury for Wiki Loves Monuments 2016. It is a complicated and delicate process to come to a balanced jury, and I would like to outline the criteria here, and to ask for your input. I have agreed to take the lead on this process - but would definitely welcome your input, and help. As in the past years, I think it is important to aim once again for a jury that as a whole is neutral and balanced in many ways. This means ideally: * A mix of photography experts, heritage experts and Wikimedia experts (aiming at a total size of 7-9) * Geographically balanced so that no two jury members come from the same country. * Balance in many other ways imaginable (while at the same time, one can never assure a balance in all aspects) * The international jury members do not serve on a national jury for WLM At the same time, there are some practical considerations: * Jury members must be able to write and read English * They must have the time to commit to judge 200-500 photos in three rounds over a period of 3 weeks in November * While jury members can participate in a local competition, their photos cannot participate in the international finale * Jury members should not participate in any national jury for 2016 (previous years is OK) * It would be helpful if the juror would be willing to share their real name for the jury report. * Jury work is in a volunteer capacity. Do you know someone who would make a good juror, please contact me privately with the suggestion. At least let me know who the juror is, how I could contact him/her and why they would make a good jurymember (and whether you have reason to believe they would accept the nomination, if asked). I will do my best to put together once again a qualified and diverse jury, with your help! Thank you in advance!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] monuments without official list
Hey Johnattan, Typically, countries follow the official list - which will never be perfect. In some countries this is particularly sensitive, because it represents a specific period in the history. There are a few approaches you could take, but none are real solutions. I would myself totally not be in favor of just 'adding monuments to the list'. Only in the case of a technical/clerical error, I would suggest to do that. But this sounds more like you disagree with the government on what the definition should be. What they did in South Africa, if I recall correctly, was to create a separate list, where people could make suggestions for buildings to be recognised as monument - a list they would pass on to the government at the end of the competition. You could even ask people to submit photos for that, but those would - I think - be out of competition. Best, Lodewijk 2016-08-17 10:35 GMT+02:00 Yaroslav M.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Update from wlm Perú
Hey Jonattan, That sounds like great progress indeed! Glad to hear you have such productive contacts with the ministry. We were also able to get an image donation by the Dutch national heritage authority (comparable with your ministry, I think) and we learned that it is probably a good idea to do this donation /after/ Wiki Loves Monuments. Because if you announce a big image donation, the incentive to submit photos (by participants) is lower. That has as benefit that you do not have to hurry, and can postpone the donation until after the competition is finished. A photographer from the ministry in your jury sounds like a very good idea!

[Wiki Loves Monuments] unique identifier for the monument
(starting a new thread, that way it's easier to find) the identifier of a monument usually originates from the 'authority' (the government, usually).

Hi Juliana, That would be an interesting approach! Please do check if they would be interested. Did you do something like this before (with so many different images, we'd be talking about a huge storage capacity - much more than a few banners/photos on repeat... so I'd be curious if their soft/hardware could handle it.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Guinness World Record?
Hey folks, A few years ago, we managed to set the world record for the largest photography competition in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. We still hold this record with our 2012 competition <http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-competition/> . I was thinking, as a little bonus on WLM 2016, would it be nice to try and break another record? The competition will be hard to break if I look at our previous submissions, but there is another record that might be interesting: the largest digital photo exhibition <http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/29046-largest-digital-photo-exhibition>. The record currently stands at 115,117 and seems breakable. Based on what I read, this might be a bunch of LED screens all displaying a slide show of photos at a publicly accessible place. We could do this during some kind of event, and simply show all WLM submissions from the international competition. Anyway, is there anyone, or a chapter/local team that would like to consider organising something like this? If we want, we could even make it a 'travelling' exhibition. It would require a lot of screens, a nice occasion to display them, a bit of software to show the photos and collecting evidence.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] wiki love monuments application for andriode and IOS
Digging in my memory: The app was quite helpful, but it was a lot of work to build, iirc. And for the amount of work, it was not used/downloaded often enough to make it worth the while, I think the evaluation was. But Yuvi can probably say more helpful things on that (in cc) The app (as a concept) relies heavily on the geo coordinates to be known - and therefore only will be helpful in countries with those coordinates in the database.

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Exciting plans to share on wikilovesmonuments.org?
Hey folks, Tomorrow I'll be posting a blog post about the wiki loves monuments exhibition at Wikimania, and I thought this might be a nice opportunity to ask if anyone else would like to share a story at the international blog. If you'd like to do this, please get in touch with someone from the international team or me. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'll just be bold in accepting stories :) Try to make it interesting to the world, make it visual etc. For example, I'd love to see a story about the Belgian freedom of panorama as soon as that becomes effective - we could talk a little on how also more recent Belgian buildings can now be photographed. But I can imagine more countries wanting to share their successes, or what they're planning this year? Or perhaps a few monuments under threat? Anyway, be creative, and get in touch. If you doubt if your topic is good for the blog, just email this list.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Import spring monument lists into nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; Wikidata
Thanks for the explanation! Good to hear of the expansion, always exciting. The idea of the import sprint was to use the availability of the people at wikimania to our advantage to work away part of the lists that are available, using local knowledge. But also after Wikimania, people could still get in touch with John, and the idea is to get as many monument lists as possible on Wikidata! The drive won't go away after it. John, maybe we can set up a list somewhere (if it doesn't exist yet) of all the sources, so that importing becomes easier that way?

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Import spring monument lists into Wikidata
Hi all! As many of you may be aware, Wikimedia Sweden is working on getting the monument data to Wikidata. At the hackathon <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon/Program>before Wikimania, we would like to do an import sprint, where you as experts on your local heritage can help them out to get the monument lists imported! Please do indicate your interest both here and on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137457 The room will be announced later, but it will take place either way in Esino Lario, at the primary school on Wednesday 22 June. Both coders and wikidata wizards who would like to help with the import, as people who know their heritage lists well, and want to help us out understand the data better are very welcome! If you have any questions, just shoot!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Possible 2 page article
Thanks! This is it: Wiki Loves Monuments is a photography competition, organised for the sixth time in 2015, and has now collected over 1,5 million photos of monuments across the world. There are major differences in the national approaches towards cultural heritage, and volunteers organising the competition face different challenges across the world. Sometimes getting the lists of monuments is the main challenge, other times it is a legal, cultural or geographical challenge. We hope to continue spreading enthusiasm for free knowledge and cultural heritage across the world, and make information about cultural heritage available across the world. *Russia* – Russia faces major challenges in its internal diversity and vast geographic distances. Last year, Russian organizers boosted geographical coverage by launching a separate prize for the maximum number of visited regions. Two participants traveled each thousands of kilometers through the whole country to cover 30 of Russia’s 81 regions, from the Amber Coast to the Pacific Coast and from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea. One of the winners, Evgeny Lazarev, told us that his 1298 photos were an outcome of his frequent traveling by car over the last 6 years. *Italy* - No other country had more photographers participating to the 2015 contest and the contributed photos are accessed millions of times each month on Wikimedia sites alone. But this did not come easily – besides a lot of effort by volunteers, staff and 320 official partners, some legal challenges had to be overcome. Participants could only take photos of Pompei and some other 3000 items, a fraction of Italy's cultural heritage. The main obstacle to the promotion of Italian culture is "Codice Urbani", a law which forces photographers to enquire the local authority about protected status for each building, ask authorisation and pay fees if required. For objects created in the last 150 years, an additional obstacle is copyright for the architect, given the lack of freedom of panorama. To help photographers, Wikimedia Italia acquired this permission in advance for 392 custodian entities. *Netherlands* – The country where Wiki Loves Monuments started in 2010 has over 60.000 recognised national monuments. After four photo competitions and the wonderful donation of hundreds of thousands of photos by the cultural heritage agency, many monuments have a free photo available. What to photograph next? The next challenge was in municipal monuments, with one slight problem: each municipality is responsible for determining and maintaining their list. While some municipalities publish proudly lists of their local heritage, others have have not recognised local heritage, or are even reluctant to share the lists. After many phone calls and emails, volunteers managed to gather a unique database of Dutch municipal monuments with more than 80% of the municipalities covered.

Yeah, the number of words is less than I expected, the liked more photos from our side :) That is a good thing, I guess! Alexander: the ultimate deadline is Sunday, but maybe you could send in a first draft by Friday? Then we can work on it together on Saturday, and make sure everything fits together well.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Possible 2 page article
Hi, OK. In total we have 350-400 words. So I propose: - 100 words for 3 stories each - 100 words for a general surrounding explanation. I propose the following stories: - RU about travelling long distances by photographers - NL about collecting municipal lists - IT about the struggle with legislation & permissions Each story can be 100 words in English, with a few good photos that go with it (not sure how many we can fit in). Would that work? Please confirm. Unfortunately we can't put more stories in! But NickK, it would be great to include something on the WLM (or Wikimedia) blog!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Possible 2 page article
Hi, the target audience would be heritage (monuments) professionals and volunteers. So what we would probably want to transfer, is enthusiasm for free knowledge, for collaborating with online movements, for sharing information. So it would be especially nice to share a story, I think. Not so much describing the whole competition, but taking out one aspect, and telling a narrative. In Italy, I suspect the story about how all the government institutions came together to work around silly legislation would be a great story. The size of Russia and the travelling involved might make a nice story too. I'm a little less convinced that the 'making our own lists' would come across well, but I don't know enough about that. Yaroslav's suggestion for taking 'we have covered everything' might work too, in several countries. In the Netherlands, I could imagine a story about collecting the municipal lists (this involved calling them all, and collecting and converting them one by one). What other stories do you know about, that we could share?

Make a piece showcasing 3-5 national competitions in the wider European region (Council of Europe - which includes Russia etc) and making it a little more about the national stories.

Glad to hear this project made it to the real world!

Probably good to write a blog post about it for wikilovesmonuments.org and prepare some info for people who want to add new countries: how they should do that in the mean time, and who to approach.

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 2nd phase: Prizes for the international contest (addressed mainly to the local organizers)
Hi, It's not published in a perfect way because the jury report is still under production. I didn't want to wait for that to be finalized before announcing the winners - I had the feeling that people wanted to hear that sooner. The report is coming up, but there are also real life priorities that take precedence. Also, if anyone wants to help the international team with communications (blogging, facebooking, twittering, but also communications with the national teams): this is typically a thing nobody likes to do very much, because you usually get only criticism. So I'm confident that volunteers would be welcome!

Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Non-monuments winning?
Hi all, first of all: thanks for all the input! Very helpful to read this additional info and thoughts. In this thread some points came up that could indeed use some factual clarification: - Every country is different. Each country has a slightly different definition of monuments. That is nothing new, and we will always have to work with that. For example, some countries have a definition including ships, and some have even a few trees on their national heritage list. Some flexibility with regards to what is being photographed is therefore always necessary. One of the biggest differences is the size of the objects. Some countries recognize a whole city as one monument. That must mean that a photo of a part of a monument, also counts as a photo of a monument. This is the same as we did in the past. - We actually all have the same rules in the international competition, but countries can derive from that in their national competition. However, those nominated pictures will be treated equally in the international finale. You can allow watermarks in your national competition, but I can predict that the odds that a watermarked picture scores into the top-10 of the international finale is very low. Theoretically however, a picture could 'make up' for the downside of the watermark. It is not a hard requirement. - Countries can award as many prizes as they want. However, they can only /nominate/ 10 of them for the international finale. Theoretically, those don't have to be the top-10. In the past, countries have nominated the top-7 of the main category, and the winners of three special categories. But always maximum 10 per national competition. - For most of the other issues, I refer back to the judgement criteria: Technical quality, Originality and Usefulness on Wikipedia. If you only photograph a little snake that is in the garden of a monument with nothing of the monument visible, it is not useful for Wikipedia in the context of that monument. If you add big watermarks, it is not only low on technical quality, but also barely useful. These criteria have been the same in the past five years, and cannot be a surprise. Most issues where you think an image is 'wrong' are fixed by sticking to these criteria. With regards to yes or no monument on the photo, which was the original question, I will take the approach that I only worry about the images that are likely to score high. If they do, I will get in touch with the national team, and see if they can help identify the monument. If not, and there is not an identified monument on the picture, I will propose disqualification to the jury. In the end, the jury will decide on this. Thanks for your input in this tough question!
