Re: [Wikimedia-l] WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

We have many years of running these very similar projects. It should be possible to compare the value of outcomes against each other to see if some use better practices than others, and then to help assess future grant proposals for their potential value against estimated costs. I agree that

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

I totally agree with Ilario here. We have yet to put a financial value on a Wikimedia contributor time unit, but I would venture to say that if such projects manage to procure even one Wikimedia contributor for the projects then that is money well spent. On Sat, Oct 31, 2015 at 12:28 PM, Ilario

We did a long research in 2014 to define the prizes as described in the budget request and reports to WMF. A lot of contests in Brasil pay prizes around R$10.000-R$60.000, the value of the prizes that we gave in Brasil are considered low by many participants and professionals in that field.

Hoi, So you did not answer the question. What is it that you aim to achieve. I get words, no ideas, nothing. Only negativity. Money is there to burn as long as it probably leads to results. The results should not be compared with what is done elsewhere when elsewhere is incomparable. When your

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WLM Brasil 2015 - Winners / Numbers

Maybe it is time to reconsider some of our standard metrics for wiki loves monuments. One of the big gains in several countries has been to get a list of monuments into Wikipedia maybe in future direct into wikidata. I think that the standard metrics should reflect that, OK it is metadata,

WereSpielChequers, I talked about that in the thread, if WLM and WLE would be closer (some countries are) to communities WP, Commons,... the result would be better. " I would like to see Wikimedia Commons volunteers be involved in the process, to create more clear, précised, and aligned rules

Hello Illario and Jane, Thanks by your comments. That is exactly the point! WLM and WLE are not only about the number of pictures loaded and the general quality of the pictures. It's about our mission and new users engagement too. That is what our group is trying to do here, teach people about
