Hi, It's nice to know there's still interested countries around! This was our first year in the Arab world region, so we still has way to go. The organization of the contest in few middle eastern countries in 2013 helped introduce WLM for the first time to Arabic Wikipedia community, so now we have a lot more of interested countries and people; there's at least 4 new countries that have already expressed interest in joining the 2014 edition. If there's international contest, then we are definitely in. For WLE, I find it really interesting, but if there's going to be WLM 2014 then maybe it will be hard to run both at the same time, as we barely have enough resources and energies to run one contest effectively. Abbad. From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 18:16:13 -0500 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 2014 contest
Hi All It’s sad to know that. Lodewijk and the international team did a really great work last year, and their tiredness and challenges that we possibly can not imagine without join their work. For China, we do hope another big event in 2014 with international level competition, it’s just beginning of us, but we do it even maybe without it. Wiki Loves Earth is a great project undoubted, but the time for preparation is just too short for start a new project. And I think, Wiki Loves Monument is kind of formed a own “brand" for influence and identification, it won’t be a good idea to give up a easy apple, especially for small community like China. If we really interested in these photo competitions, whatever the monuments or the earth, we should do it together, instead of separating out limit force to several different projects. I’m not free enough to take over it, but I’ll help if needed. Addis On Jan 11, 2014, at 5:21 PM, Emilio J.

I thought that there was no activity thats why I asked, but there are several options for this year. I'm going to see how to help, in lists, tech or whatever. 2014/1/11 Jan Ainali <[email protected]> WMSE, just as WMRO, will have a WLM even if there is no international contest. By the way, WMSE will also be international coordinators of Wiki Loves Public Art if anyone wants to join :) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Public_Art_2014 Med vänliga hälsningar, Jan Ainali Verksamhetschef, Wikimedia Sverige 0729 - 67 29 48 2014/1/11 Mykola Kozlenko <[email protected]> Hi, From Wikimedia Ukraine I can confirm that we are still interested in organising the international edition of Wiki Loves Earth, and we already have an international mailing list for it: [email protected] . This mailing list is, however, currently lacking activity - thus we invite everyone interested (or potentially interested) to join it: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesearth ! Discussions on timing are being held at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014 , most options are around April-May (basically the best period to picture nature, especially in the North Hemisphere). Please par ticipate in the discussion if you are interested - the faster we decide on the time, the better. We are currently building a team for the international edition, and we are going to request funding for WLE 2014 international edition in the name of Wikimedia Ukraine. If anyone is interested to participate in organising WLE, please join the mailing list [email protected] as well! Regards,Mykola --- Оригінальне повідомлення --- Від кого: "Lodewijk" <[email protected]> Дата: 11 січня 2014, 22:09:28 Hi, from discussions it seems there is no clear agreement whether or not there should be an international WLM in 2014. I can at least say that I will not be involved in Wiki Loves Monuments any more (lack of time, and also because of the difficulties encountered at the funding stage and elsewhere which decreased my enthusiasm a lot) - I can't speak for the other organizers. We're still busy wrapping up the 2013 competition. Earlier this year there were conversations to organize a Wiki Loves Earth international edition in 2014 instead of Wiki Loves Monuments, and I know at least WMNL is very interested in that, and Wikimedia Ukraine used to be. I think it is time for people who want to join an international team for the coming year to speak up. Now is the time to get started indeed on that level, and to get as much knowledge transfer as possible from the old to the new team - be it Wiki Loves Earth or Wiki Loves Monuments. Lodewijk 2014/1/11 Santiago Navarro Sanz <[email protected]> I have the same question. I think that are still enough countries interested in a new edition. Wikimedia Spain will be one of them. Is there anyone interested? regards Santi Navarro From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 20:13:36 +0100 To: [email protected] Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] 2014 contest Hi all; Will we see in 2014 a new edition of WLM? I don't see any coordination messages or pages in Commons.
