Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 -- global?

2011-12-19 Thread Noopur
Throwing a few ideas since our participation tendency seems positive:

1) Can we start doing a few things in the background: compile lists of
monuments?  ASI already has the list for monuments of national importance,
State wise: http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_alphalist.asp
2) Let's sign up/raise hands for people who can help figure out how-to
guides, do documentation and collect resources/materials so that it's easy
to implement this template event anywhere?
3) Just a suggestion: Can we have a GLAM India mailing list so that for now
we can keep all GLAM related, Monuments discussions on that? Keeps it
neater but this is just a suggestion.

As always, *me raises hand first*. I am looking around for more monument
lists while you guys figure out the organization bit. :)
Warmly
Noopur

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 -- global?

2011-12-19 Thread Pradeep Mohandas
hi,

Since this is happening for the first time at the national level and the
international level, perhaps it would be nice to not do it at the state
level at all. Let all the photos come into a common pool and allow for
voting that would lead to these becoming India's entries for Wiki Loves
Monuments 2012. The above is how it happened in 2011 - with nations
selecting their best pics and then forwarding it. I am assuming that is how
it happens in 2012 at the international level as well.

Ideas are welcome on:
1. How to spread the word? The central Commons page is created -
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India?uselang=en-gb-
and word was spread through Facebook today. Word needs to be first
spread
for volunteers - later, for photographers to enter into the fray.
2. How do the volunteers organize themselves?
3. How do we simultaneously improve articles on the monuments, try to reach
out to local language communities of the state and encourage Wikipedian
contribution from there. Counterpoint: Do we need to do this
simultaneously?

warm regards,
Pradeep

 Hello everyone,

 As you may have heard, a little while ago some organizers of Wiki Loves
 Monuments 2011 came together in a rainy and cold Amsterdam to evaluate
 the 2011 edition, and kick off documentation for 2012. We would like to
 share some of the results of our meeting with you.

 The first and most important information is:
 * There is going to be a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 -- and if there is
 interest, we are going global!

 We would like to get a feeling of in how many countries there would be
 people potentially interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments
 nationally; but firstly, let us start with the basics.

 Wiki Loves Monuments is a photo contest organized in 2010 and 2011 in,
 respectively, the Netherlands and in Europe. The contest asks the
 general audience to upload pictures of monumental/historical sites and
 buildings during September. It has a federal structure and is organised
 separately in every participating country by the local people who know
 how things work in their area; best photos from all countries are
 nominated for an international contest.

 In 2011 this contest was very successful, with more than 165.000 photos
 of monuments in 18 participating countries submitted in total. This was
 possible thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers in those
 countries who helped organise Wiki Loves Monuments in one way or
 another. The winning pictures have been published on
 http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu and on Wikimedia Commons:
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners.

 Besides the wonderful direct impact on the overall quality and coverage
 of heritage and culture topics, Wiki Loves Monuments is a fantastic
 opportunity to reach some of our important goals: we had a participation
 of over 4.000 new users who created the first ever community-driven
 contribution peak on Wikimedia Commons
 (http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month); we
 have also helped in establishing cooperation between Wikimedia groups 
 chapters and some of their local cultural institutions and organisations
 in several countries.

 Would you be interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 in
 your country? Would you like to know more? Find all the details at
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012.
 We have put together some information there for you -- and much more
 will follow soon.

 We would also like you to join our public mailing list where everyone is
 welcome to ask any questions about the details on how to organise a Wiki
 Loves Monuments in your country. This is a place where many organizers
 of 2011 are already on and we will use that as our main channel for
 communications and information dispersion in 2012. Be bold and sign up
 for the list at
 https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments.

 So, please speak up if you're interested!

 Best regards,
 Lodewijk, Maarten  Tomasz (on behalf of so many others)

By the statement, I meant that you did not need permission to make a wiki
since it is a wiki. Do go ahead and create one!

Pradeep Mohandas

2011/12/18 Noopur noopur.ra...@gmail.com

 Yes, that. A wiki (if one does not exist already) for Wiki loves monuments
 in India in 2012.


 2011/12/18 Pradeep Mohandas pradeep.mohan...@gmail.com

 It is a wiki :)

 Pradeep


 2011/12/18 Noopur noopur.ra...@gmail.com

 Along with this, just throwing up an idea. Since, the timeline is not
 yet decided, can we simultaneously have a Wikimedia India page to document
 all the Wiki loves monuments in India that happen in 2012?


 2011/12/18 Pradeep Mohandas pradeep.mohan...@gmail.com

 hi,

 If the cities interested and languages interested express their
 interest, we could go ahead at a national level through the chapter or as a
 community. The choice is with the community. Hence the question.

 warm regards,
 Pradeep Mohandas

 To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List 
 foundatio...@lists.wikimedia.org


 Hello everyone,

 As you may have heard, a little while ago some organizers of Wiki
 Loves
 Monuments 2011 came together in a rainy and cold Amsterdam to evaluate
 the 2011 edition, and kick off documentation for 2012. We would like
 to
 share some of the results of our meeting with you.

 The first and most important information is:
 * There is going to be a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 -- and if there
 is
 interest, we are going global!

 We would like to get a feeling of in how many countries there would be
 people potentially interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments
 nationally; but firstly, let us start with the basics.

 Wiki Loves Monuments is a photo contest organized in 2010 and 2011 in,
 respectively, the Netherlands and in Europe. The contest asks the
 general audience to upload pictures of monumental/historical sites and
 buildings during September. It has a federal structure and is
 organised
 separately in every participating country by the local people who know
 how things work in their area; best photos from all countries are
 nominated for an international contest.

 In 2011 this contest was very successful, with more than 165.000
 photos
 of monuments in 18 participating countries submitted in total. This
 was
 possible thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers in those
 countries who helped organise Wiki Loves Monuments in one way or
 another. The winning pictures have been published on
 http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu and on Wikimedia Commons:
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners
 .

 Besides the wonderful direct impact on the overall quality and
 coverage
 of heritage and culture topics, Wiki Loves Monuments is a fantastic
 opportunity to reach some of our important goals: we had a
 participation
 of over 4.000 new users who created the first ever community-driven
 contribution peak on Wikimedia Commons
 (http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month); we
 have also helped in establishing cooperation between Wikimedia groups
 
 chapters and some of their local cultural institutions and
 organisations
 in several countries.

 Would you be interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012
 in
 your country? Would you like to know more? Find all the details at
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012
 .
 We have put together some information there for you -- and much more
 will follow soon.

 We would also like you to join our public mailing list where everyone
 is
 welcome to ask any questions about the details on how to organise a
 Wiki
 Loves Monuments in your country. This is a place where many organizers
 of 2011 are already on and we will use that as our main channel for
 communications and information dispersion in 2012. Be bold and sign up
 for the list at
 https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments.

 So, please speak up if you're interested!

 Best regards,
 Lodewijk, Maarten  Tomasz (on behalf of so many others)

Prad, Noopur, I'm with you on this one. I think what we need to do is,
create a category on the Commons, customise the Upload Wizard if
needed, set up a committee to check for copyright violations, create a
page on Meta, translate it into every language, get your cameras,
phones ready, stock up on film rolls and Memory Cards, batteries, etc.
See, it's that simple. Let's not wait for Chapter or Foundation, and

Its a great idea to have a Wiki loves monuments. Support from SIGs was
mentioned. Speaking as a member of Indic Wikipedians on English Wikipedia,
you have our support.

I would only say that September being partly/mostly a rainy month, our
events should be summer holiday poised when it would be convenent for
people to students to participate.

 Prad, Noopur, I'm with you on this one. I think what we need to do is,
 create a category on the Commons, customise the Upload Wizard if
 needed, set up a committee to check for copyright violations, create a
 page on Meta, translate it into every language, get your cameras,
 phones ready, stock up on film rolls and Memory Cards, batteries, etc.
 See, it's that simple. Let's not wait for Chapter or Foundation, and
 start NOW!
