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!
I am happy to announce that today, almost fourteen months after its end,
Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 has reached a beautiful milestone in terms of
Quality images; there are now exactly two thousand (2,000) files in
[[Category:Quality images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012]]!
The lucky milestone picture is a photograph of a house at 41 Mark St in
the Austrian municipality of Neufelden, Upper Austria, taken by Michael
Kranewitter who goes by the user name of [[User:Geiserich77]].
My congratulations to Michael and to everyone who has helped reach this
great milestone. Well done everyone!

Dear all,
It's about time to send out the reminder message for the WLM survey.
I have added a reference to the winning pictures of the international contest and invite you to translate the added sentence (or the entire message if it doesn't exist yet) into your language by Friday:

Dear all,
Thanks to the amazing help of Lusitana we are planning to print some
calendars for 2014 with images from WLM 2013.
We plan to print calendars in different parts of the world to have an
easier time with shipments (and less hassle with customs :) )
Every local group can request up to 20 calendars, the WLM
international group will cover the printing and shipping of those
calendars.
To request your calendars please fill out the form below:
http://bit.ly/WLM2014-calendars-form
*please* do that even if you don't wont any calendar and put a 0 in
the number of calendars requested.
if you don't know yet if you want more calendars, please fill out the
form with the information you do know, so that we have a contact
person.
If you want to have more calendars you can also order and extra
quantity and we will print them, but you will need to pay for those.
Based on the quotations we received so far we can expect that the
calendars will cost between 2.75 USD (2 EUR) and 4.00 USD (3.00 EUR).
We will print them in different location based on the destination.
If you want extra calendars you will get an extra question at the end
of the form where you can specify the extra quantity that you want.
We would to print and send the calendars the week after next week so
please fill out the form before Sunday 15th, December.
If you have any questions, please ask them. The sooner, the better!
Apologies for the short notice!
Thank you,
Cristian
