Dear all,
a doubt:
is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons?
Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)?
Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM
(they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating
monuments on Wikipedia)
but is a legal matter.

Hi everybody,
as I wrote in a previous thread on it.wiki the {{commonscat}} template
has been replaced with the more general {{interprogetto}} template. As
of now {{commonscat}} is deprecated on it.wiki, being kept only for
compatibility purposes. That said, though, the template doesn't work
as the versions on it.wiki or fr.wiki accepting only one paramtere
(namely the name of the commons category) and thus there is no way to
change the visualized text which renders the template ugly to put in
the lists.
I have asked for a change, but there is strong consensus against the
reintroduction of {{commonscat}}, moreover it has been noted that the
{{commonscat}} template is deprecated/redirect also on en.wiki and
fr.wiki:
* can the bot be changed to accept the name of the template to search?
(in it.wiki's case {{interprogetto}})
* if not, there is some alternative way to obtain the statistics
provided by that bot?
I have asked the adaptation of {{commoscat}} to follow the same
specifics as in en.wiki (while it will remain deprecated) as a
temporary measure while adapting the bot.
Can all this work?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Cristian
Hi folks,
Yesterday we had the awards of Wiki Loves Monuments in the Museo
Universitario del Chopo, sponsored by the UNAM. Attended several of the
finalists, as well as guests and media reporters.
In addition to the awards to the winners, sponsored by Fundación Carlos
Slim and UNAM, we put an exhibition with the 10 finalists, same that will
be on a tour of various universities and venues in Mexico City in the next
weeks.
>From minute 5, you can see the note that made the local channel of
Televisa (in Spanish):

Hi there,
this is just to let you know that today we have reached yet another
milestone in terms of Quality images; there are now exactly 1,500
files in [[Category:Quality images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012]]!
The lucky milestone picture is a photograph of the statue of Ludwig
IX, Duke of Bavaria in Landshut, Germany, taken by Diego Delso,
[[User:Poco a poco]]
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Estatua_de_Luis_IX,_Duque_de_Bavier…>;
congratulations Diego!
Aside from Quality images, we also have 35 Featured pictures, 30
Valued images as well as 6 images used in valued image sets; you can
have a look at the numbers yourselves at
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Highlighted_content_from_Wiki_L…>.
We will probably not break 2,000 until the end of the year, but I
guess that having over 1,500 Quality images is a great achievement
nonetheless!

Dear all,
today we had the ceremony for the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012,
Swiss contest.
These are the winners:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_winners#Switzer…
Only some remarks:
a) the Swiss contest admitted only one prize per participant. It means that
the 10th Swiss place is effectively an 11th place. The selection for the
International contest include this photo
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kapellbr%C3%BCcke_in_der_Sonne.jpgand
not the photo in the 10th National place
b) in the first 50 places we had 26 participants, it means a good
participation of quality
