Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [wlm-in] WLM India 2013

2013-06-12 Thread Lodewijk Gelauff
Hi all,

After last year, I was thrilled to see the huge participation of Indian
people in Wiki Loves Monuments! The huge amount of pictures and new users
(from the top of my head, more than 2000 participants from India alone,
ranking it with distance above all other countries) was unique, but also
was the huge enthusiasm of those people. It clearly showed how proud
Indians are of their cultural heritage. Of course this was perhaps best
illustrated by having 2 (!) Indian pictures in the top-10 of the world best
monument photos.

For 2013, I hope that there will be another Indian contest, but that
doesn't happen all by itself, for that your help is needed. Arnav and
Karthik have requested your help (I'm not sure if you've seen it though),
and I think that without some help, it would be very hard to organize the
contest. I'm not 100% sure if the board of Wikimedia India has already
committed itself to organizing the contest (and making available the
necessary budget for prizes etc), but I'm confident that if there is enough
enthusiasm, that will not be a big issue.

So what do you say? Are you willing to help out organizing the Wiki Loves
Monuments photo competition in 2013? Worl that needs to be done includes
on-wiki work (tidying up the monument lists, adding information such as
coordinates, categorizing and checking images as they come in etc - quite
boring but you can do it whenever and where ever you like) but also a bit
more organizational: setting procedures for judging, helping find suitable
jury members, sponsors, translating the website and interfaces, doing some
PR for the contest, finding government and NGO-partners for the contest in
India etc.

You have a wonderful base to work from, I sincerely hope some volunteers
will pick up the challenge and beat last year's contribution!

Looking forward to many more Taj Mahal pictures,

Lodewijk Gelauff (member of the international coordinating team)

 Hey,

 After (virtually) helping Karthik in WLM 2012 and seeing other countries
 expressing their interest to participate in WLM '13, I request Indian
 Community interested in helping organize WLM '13 to start planning and
 discussions for the same.

 If anyone is interested to help, please get in touch with Karthik or me so
 that we can start planning for India's successful participation in WLM '13.
 Thanks.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] upload guide for photographers

2012-09-03 Thread Lodewijk
Just to explain the why: this helps us to semi-automatically create an
overview of all images and what they are showing. This helps to identify
which images belong in which list, and brings your images the most
efficiently to the wikipedia pages. It also helps us to add more relevant
information about the portrayed monument to the image description, and with
categorization.

Best,
Lodewijk

I'll try to be there, in case there are any questions I can help with. In
my feeling, the major bottle neck right now is volunteers - people who are
willing to make this work and do some editing and also real life stuff for
it.

Can someone confirm that the planned time is now 15:30 UTC on June 21? (I'm
sorry, but I'm always a bit confused with Indian times!)

Thanks and see you then,

[Wikimediaindia-l] status WLM-India

2012-03-05 Thread Lodewijk
Hi all,

I'm glad to see so much activity ongoing on this list! For those that do
not know me: I'm Lodewijk from the Netherlands, and I'm (amongst other
things) one of the people coordinating the Wiki Loves Monuments initiatives
on an international level. I have been involved in the 2010 contest in the
Netherlands and the 2011 in Europe.

I the past there have been some discussions on whether India would be
willing and able to join Wiki Loves Monuments this year. Is there any
update on this?
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India
shows
quite a big number of involved volunteers, so that is exciting! Especially
of interest may be the suggested timeline we have put up on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Timeline
and
which you could copy and localize (and adapt). It gives a good impression
of the work ahead and what probably should take priority.

Some relevant points would definitely be:
* What is the status of the monument lists? Are they available, well
structured and already on the wiki?
* How many items do you have? To have a successful contest, there should be
quite some monuments in every major city so that everyone can easily find a
monument nearby where they live. That helps to decrease the threshold. At
the same time, every monument needs to have a certain level of relevance of
course.
* Are you in contact with the relevant government authorities (that make
decisions on whether a monument will be listed or not etc., but also who
promote heritage in your country if there is such an organization. Possibly
tourist boards.).
* Will you be able to organize this at all in the whole of India, or is it
only likely to succeed in a few states. I think a good project in some
states is more important than a bad project in the whole country.

Finally, we would like to offer our help where-ever possible. If you have
your discussions on the wlm-in mailing list (
http://lists.wmnederland.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wlm-in) then I can
also participate in discussions where relevant. Also, if that would be
helpful we could perhaps think about organizing a brainstorm
session/workshop in India with the volunteers interested in organizing the
contest. If there is any other way you think we could be helpful, such as
contacts with supragovernmental organizations, please let us know!

I'm looking forward to an update and hope for a lot of enthusiasm!

Kind regards,

Lodewijk

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam

2011-12-15 Thread Lodewijk
Hi,

Nice work! I am not very at home in Prezi, so some suggestions by email:

* Maybe it is better to call Wikimedia a movement to avoid confusion when
they encounter Wikimedia India
* In the file formats you seem to miss .OGG (sound/video)
* It is probably better to never say Commons like we do, but always
Wikimedia Commons. Otherwise people get confused with Creative Commons.
* Is NPOV really relevant in Wikimedia Commons?
* Suggesting to dig up archives is dangerous - we have some bad experiences
in Israel with that. The danger is that they dig up photos taken by other
people of themselves. Maybe reword to your old photographs and focus on
authorship rather than (physical) ownership?
* Maybe add something about Featured images: if they submit really good
images, they might end up getting that status?

Anyway, hope it is useful,

Lodewijk

 Dear Arnav,
 This is awesome! I was speaking to Hisham about compiling a repository
 of presentations and Simple English guides, keeping them in PDF versions so
 that people can use them whenever. I have some presentations on GLAM and
 commons, if you want I can send them over and you don't have to go through
 the trouble of making them again.

 Yeah, I mean since most of the photographers there would not be
 knowing what commons is, I ll first give them presentation about
 commons and explain them public domain licensing in detail.
