wouldn't that approach support intrinsic biases? ;)

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: [Internal-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 - Europe?

[effe iets anders]

Hello all,

I know there has been some discussion about a Wiki Loves Monuments in
the UK, but I have heard little back after that. I think there is
definitely a lot of potential in the UK for setting up a project like
this, and hope that it would be possible to find the volunteers to run
this in the coming time.

Who can take the lead on this in the UK?

Please see 
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2011-January/01.html
for my email and offer to join a brainstorm session if there would be
need/advantage for that. If that would help, I am more than happy to
join you guys somewhere reachable in a conversation on how to make
this happen. I got the suggestion the coming up London Meetup might be
helpful. Are there many interested people from outside London? Would
Wikimedia UK be able and willing to set up a meeting there and to
reimburse for example some travel costs for those outside London to
join the meeting? Just shooting some suggestions here, I'm sure you
can come up with better :)

Do remind please that to make this work, you really have to give this
a start in February, or it will be very hard to have the lists and
systems in place in time.

I look forward to your positive and constructive replies!

 Forwarding with permission of the sender. I'm very eager to see the UK and
 Ireland participate in this if possible, but from my experience of running
 Britain Loves Wikipedia I'm very aware that this needs a team of people
 running it rather than just one person. So: is anyone interested in
 leading/helping with this project?

 Thanks,
 Mike

 Reply-To: Local Chapters, board and officers coordination \(closed

 Summary of this email (sorry for long text): We did Wiki Loves Monuments
 (WLM) 2010 in the Netherlands, we would like to do Wiki Loves Monuments
 again in 2011, but now in Europe. This is only possible when many chapters
 participate, therefore this e-mail. To be clear: this event will only happen
 on a European level if there is sufficient chapter participation to combine
 efforts. Please feel free to forward to whomever you find appropriate.
 You might have heard before about Wiki Loves Monuments 2010 in the
 Netherlands. It was a highly successful photo scavenger hunt with 12.500
 submissions and over 250 participants[0]. We recently completed a post
 mortem of this event with a more extensive description and analysis [1].
 However, there are still many monuments in the Netherlands which can be
 photographed, so we are considering another run for next year - but then in
 a European context. Below we will explain a bit how we got where we are,
 what we have in mind, and what you could expect.
 So how did this all start? At the Dutch Wikipedia we have the windmill
 project. One of the main goals was to get an article with an image for every
 windmill in the Netherlands. Lists were created of windmills per province
 and statistics were made on a regular basis to track progress. This approach
 worked very well and made it possible to tackle a big problem; All the
 windmills have an article now.
 Some volunteers, in cooperation with the chapter, managed to get a dataset
 of all Rijksmonumenten (Dutch national monuments - 60.000
 buildings/objects with some historical or cultural relevance) from the
 Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (Dutch national heritage
 organisation, RCE). This marked the birth of the Rijksmonumenten project.
 The project uses the lessons learned in the windmill project. The data from
 the RCE was converted into lists by location and put on the Dutch Wikipedia.
 The community started improving the lists by adding missing information or
 adding photo's.
 In June 2009 Wikimedia Nederland ran Wiki Loves Art /NL [2] : A photo
 scavenger hunt in more than 40 museums. Also quite successful (5.400
 photos), but much more work intensive because you need to keep contacts with
 all the museums and usually museums are further away from people's homes
 than the nearest monuments.
 For 2010 we were looking for a nice topic for a photo competition. The
 Rijksmonumenten project was running very well so we decided to organize
 Wiki Loves Monuments to give this Wikipedia project a boost.
 So, what would a European WLM most likely look like? Let me give you an idea
 of what we are thinking of, changes are open for debate of course. Trying to
 incorporate the main lessons from last year in the Netherlands into a
 European model, we think it might work best if Wiki Loves Monuments is
 organized on a national level primarily, but with cooperations, shared
 resources and international prizes

[effe iets anders]

I suggest to do this as much as possible through tom, although I know that
gives you a little extra work (sorry!). Otherwise, we risk that we have10
people emailing BBC at the same time. I think it's better if /we/ make a
possible selection :)

 Hi all.

 I've spoken further to the guy from the BBC and I have the following bits
 of
 info you may find interesting:

 * They're happy for generated content to be uploaded to Kaltura under a
 CC-BY-SA license.
 * They _may_ be able to provide an ultra-portable HD Flip camera to a few
 people who'd agreed to film for us, if they haven't got their own cameras.
 * They cannot pay any fees or travel costs.

 Again, either get in contact with them via their web-form (link below) or
 through me.

 Tom

  Hi,
  
  The BBC have been in contact with us at Wikimedia UK about the
  possibility of them getting access to some Wikimania footage. I quote:
  
  We are expecting to film with Jimmy Wales later in the year, but we
  were really hoping to film at Wikimania. Unfortunately, due to
  schedules, we simply can't get a crew to the event. And so, it occurred
  to us that, rather than lose this quintessentially Wikipedian moment,
  we could - in the spirit of our shared open and collaborative goals -
  ask some of the attending Wikipedians to shoot some footage for us, for
  release on an open platform (Kultura) to allow all parties to use the
  footage under creative commons.
  
  They ask interested parties to get in contact either via their web form
  here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution/contactus.shtml or via
  me/other WMUK board members. (E-mail me and I'll forward it on to them,
  or alternatively, if you're in the UK email me and I can give you the
  organiser's phone number.)
  
  Thanks,
  
  Tom

  It would be nice if there was the offer of some costs (e.g. airfare or
  conference registration), surely?
