Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM International Winners

2021-04-07 Thread Toni Sant 
Hi Lodewijk - 

Thank you very much for getting back to me. We are indeed in agreement about 
including some visibility for 16-25 to broaden the set of countries that get a 
share of the joy around the WLM international contest. With approximately 50 
countries taking part, celebrating a top 25 ensures a wider reach in terms of 
recognizing quality beyond the top 15 winners.

For the benefit of clarity, my point is that rather than transient exposure 
through social media or arguably limited exposure through the jury report, I'd 
recommend including 16-25 as honorable mentions on the Commons winners page too 
as this ensures a longer-term record of the accolade. It also ensure that we 
are more inclusive and operate within the open structures afforded by our 
movement's wikis rather than 3rd party platforms, as popular as they may be in 
the present time.
Kind regards,
Toni

 Hi Toni,
We have long been debating internally how much visibility to give to 
runners-up. The official prizes are for place 1-15. In the past, we have 
decided to include 16-25 as well for the social media and sometimes jury 
report, because it broadens the set of countries that get a share of the joy. 
We typically reserved the 'official' places for the official winners (1-15). 
But, this is arguably just a judgement call, and I could totally imagine this 
falling in another direction in the future.

Hi Ciell + Mohammad - 

Thank you for sharing these links.
I'm wondering why the honorable mentions were only announced on social media 
(Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and not also announced on the WLM blog and/or 
Commons.  It's really great to get the word out to a wider audience but, in my 
opinion, we should also make sure that we keep fuller records of WM activities 
within the wikiverse itself.

As social media platforms are arguably transient (and certainly not as open as 
Commons) it would be good to have the honorable mentions captured as part of 
the international contest results in a way that's easy to access in  WLM 
natural environment, so to speak. I'd gladly contribute to this (on Commons) if 
others agree or the WLM international team don't have the capacity to handle 
this without input from the community.
For the record: I've also posted this message on the WLM 2020 winners talk page 
on Commons.

Thanks again and best wishes,
Toni
