Absolutely, anyway the regulation of Wikimedia Ch says: "Afin d’être contacté, le participant aura renseigné son adresse de courriel dans ses préférences sur le site Wikimedia Commons" It means that, if there was an email in Commons, the user would be accepted. The regulation has been published some days after the start of the contest so we may be "flexible", so it means that there should be at least a link to the user in another portal and we can spent some time to contact him, but *at least* the email in Commons or everywhere is a *must* to don't be excluded. It's important, in my opinion to do it respectful of some other participants who followed the regulation. -- Ilario Valdelli Wikimedia CH Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Association pour l’avancement des connaissances libre Associazione per il sostegno alla conoscenza libera Switzerland - 8008 Zürich Tel: +41764821371 http://www.wikimedia.ch _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
