[Wiki Loves Monuments] Alternative to Monumental

Hi all, After a last minute rescue last year, it looks like we're facing Monumental being unsupported going into WLM 2023. Ireland has exclusively used Monumental since 2017, when Pawel migrated our lists into Wikidata using the WLM numbers to draw out the

Having taken advice on this, from next year Ireland is going to award prizes to the top ten photographers rather than the top ten images. Though only allowing one image from each person in the top 10 is an interesting approach as well. We have had non-Irish winners in the past, from the United

[Wiki Loves Monuments] Judges for WLM Ireland

Hello everyone! Here in Ireland we usually have 3 judges for our approx 1000 entries to WLM, but this year I'd like to expand that out to 5 to try and spread the workload better. In the past we have been lucky to have an international Wikimedian join our jury, and I'd love to find 2 this year. If

Hi Jean-Frédéric, We adopted them in the "post" Wikidata era, as there are many National Monuments in Ireland that have different numbering systems that are just numeric and thus are not a unique identifier in any reliable sense. Being able to curate what sites are offered to participants keeps

Just as a note from the Irish team, when we contact the winner who has an image with a watermark, we request that they upload one without. Generally it is just that people don't understand that it is not best practice on Commons, and it is just habit that photographers add them. On 5 November
