Hi,
OK. In total we have 350-400 words. So I propose:
- 100 words for 3 stories each
- 100 words for a general surrounding explanation.
I propose the following stories:
- RU about travelling long distances by photographers
- NL about collecting municipal lists
- IT about the struggle with legislation & permissions
Each story can be 100 words in English, with a few good photos that go
with it (not sure how many we can fit in).
Would that work? Please confirm.
Unfortunately we can't put more stories in! But NickK, it would be
great to include something on the WLM (or Wikimedia) blog! Could I
keep the UA story as a backup for this? It sounds more complicated to
explain in 100 words than the NL story, and I like the geographic
diversity
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi Lodewijk,
We in Ukraine would be interested to participate, especially
because we have just released a journal about Wiki Loves Monuments
for exactly the same audience - monuments professionals and
volunteers - and thus we already have some materials ready (in
Ukrainian).
Probably the most interesting story from us would be about "making
our own lists" - not in the meaning that we are doing original
research, but in the meaning that Ukraine has strictly no cultural
heritage register. Instead several hundreds of institutions
maintain their own official lists, from the Ministry of Culture to
municipalities, and they hardly communicate with each other. The
process involved sending requests to all of them, digitising and
converting these lists, collaborating with local historians and
museums who sometimes had the necessary lists and even requesting
the lists in the court when a local administration refused to
provide them. As a result, we have the most complete monument
lists that ever existed in Ukraine.
If this story does not work, we can also write about the "WLM
community" we have, i.e. people who travel, visit, picture and
document monuments during the year and upload photos of 1000+
monuments in September.
If this corresponds to what you are looking for, please tell us
what do we have to provide.
Thanks,
Mykola (NickK)
WLM Ukraine

Hi,
the target audience would be heritage (monuments)
professionals and volunteers. So what we would probably want
to transfer, is enthusiasm for free knowledge, for
collaborating with online movements, for sharing information.
So it would be especially nice to share a story, I think. Not
so much describing the whole competition, but taking out one
aspect, and telling a narrative. In Italy, I suspect the story
about how all the government institutions came together to
work around silly legislation would be a great story. The size
of Russia and the travelling involved might make a nice story
too. I'm a little less convinced that the 'making our own
lists' would come across well, but I don't know enough about
that.
Yaroslav's suggestion for taking 'we have covered everything'
might work too, in several countries. In the Netherlands, I
could imagine a story about collecting the municipal lists
(this involved calling them all, and collecting and converting
them one by one).
What other stories do you know about, that we could share?
Best,
Lodewijk

My ideas about WLM in Russia would be:
- no national register of cultural heritage (we are
basically making one ourselves, and it's at least as good
as different 'official' registers created over the years)
- no freedom of panorama for sculptures (see Italy)
- amazing traveling activity of our participants (last
year we offered a special nomination for the maximum
number of regions covered; the winner uploaded photos from
31 regions (out of ~85 regions in total), which is quite a
lot considering the size of the country)
There is likely not enough space to mention everything,
but you can point me to the topic that will be most
interesting for the European readers.

Hi,
OK, it seems the most interesting would be scenario 3. I
have a good idea what the story in Italy might look like
:) Alexander, what would be the story about Russia?
I think a story about Austria might be nice too? Given
that it is one of the most successful countries in terms
of coverage?

Dear Lodewijk,
I can write something about WLM in Russia, but I have
to know the size limit and the time scale.
Best,

Hey folks,
it may be possible to publish a 2 page article in
Europa Nostra, but the deadline would be short. Is
there anything you'd like to share in such an
article? I imagine a few scenarios:
- 1. Make a piece about WLM in the past years
- 2. Make a piece about WLM in 2015, with a short
outlook for 2016. I'm not sure if this would give
the best material
- 3. Make a piece showcasing 3-5 national
competitions in the wider European region (Council
of Europe - which includes Russia etc) and making it
a little more about the national stories.
I personally am a bit in favour of the third, which
could let us tell a story about national
competitions, how volunteers play a role etc. But I
would need your help! Who would be able to help
write a piece? What would be your favourite approach?
Best,
Lodewijk
