Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wiki Loves Monuments deadline rapidly approaching
Quoting Chris Keating chriskeatingw...@gmail.com: well done everyone! I see the UK ended up the 5th-biggest country in terms of the number of contributors, and 8th in terms of total photos uploaded. Not bad for a first attempt! I only got out taking photos one afternoon, and one late-night. Many thanks to everyone who took photos, and even more thanks to everyone who helped organise it! It was fun to try and get some half-decent photos. But, you'll get more Edinburghers if you do Wiki Loves (listed) pubs[1].

That would be an interesting one! Definitely worth thinking about for next time (seriously).

The easiest way to do this is to find each building's listing on Wikipedia (e.g. [1]), and follow the upload link there. Even if you took the photographs ages ago, they will still qualify for Wiki Loves Monuments, the world's largest photography competition -- assuming you upload them before midnight. Why participate in Wiki Loves Monuments rather than upload them, say, next week? * Your photographs can win prizes * You'll be helping make this year's WLM the largest ever (14,000 more uploads needed!)
