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 all,
I wonder, in some of the international nominees (beautiful pictures again
btw, congratulations), there are some where there is no identified monument
available. For example, there is a photo of the Nile river
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nile_River_in_Aswan.jpg> without
any identified monument, and in Brazil a photo of the Army headquarters
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monumento_a_Duque_de_Caxias.jpg>
without identified monument.
I have my doubts about such photos - while they are of good quality, if
there is no identified monument, I wonder if they should be disqualified
for the international prizes.
I would value your thoughts on this. Maybe it doesn't come up at all (I
don't know how high up they will end), maybe it does.
Best,
Lodewijk
Hi all,
I remember that in 2012 there was a tool that showed how much each monument
was photographed and other very important statistics about WLM. I believe
it was developed by Platonides, but don't remember for sure.
Does anyone use such a tool recently, or know how to get such statistics?
Thanks,
—Yan.
Hello all,
we have a price in France for newly illustrated monuments but unfortunately
we have forgotten to make a copy of the database dump before the
competition starts this year. And as the monument database dump (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Sql ) is
overwritten every day we can't get old databases :(
So is there any chance someone there has kept a copy of the database dump
from 31st August?
Thanks,
Sylvain
Hi all,
This is an important announcement (and/or reminder) about the international
jury process. Like every year, there is a jury with a mix of Photography,
Heritage and Wikimedian backgrounds that will decide what image will win
the international finale. I will announce the jury members on the WLM
website once the last jury members are confirmed.
Each national competition gets to nominate up to 10 images - usually these
are your top-10 images. Please send me a list of 10 URL's to the file
description pages of the images that are nominated for the international
finale with at least one member of your national jury in cc. They do not
have to be in order.
We will keep that list secret until you announce them publicly. If you
announced your winners publicly, please add your 10 nominees on this page:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015_winners We
will however include all pictures that win internationally in our jury
report (usually the top-25 is published), which will be published by the
beginning of december.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you.
Lodewijk

creating statistics on exposure to culture

Dear Albrecht,
as an avid Eurostat consumer let me congratulate you for a very
interesting project, which will be of great interest not only to the
general population but also to direct consumers of Eurostat such as
* Europeana,
* the European Commission (for policy implications),
* EU governments (some of which supported Wiki Loves Monuments, e.g. for
Pompei),
* the Council of Europe (for their support for Wiki Loves Monuments).
Dan already pointed out what will be the best route for your to pursue
in the future, but let me point out what data and tools people have
needed and made available so far:
* for recent raw data,
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pagecounts-all-sites ;
* global usage of World Heritage Sites images: 190k usages for 24k
images (via
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=World+Heri…
);
* pageviews in a wiki (e.g. English Wikipedia) for all articles
classified as world heritage sites on Wikidata: says ~3 M/month for ~800
articles (via WDQ claim[1435:9259] in Listeria > PagePile > TreeViews
https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/treeviews/?q=%7B%22pagepile%22%3A%22962…
);
* for Europeana, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Europeana/Stats ;
* for WLM images accesses in all languages, e.g.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama2/#gid=60&month=201508 ;
* for multilingual pageviews of an individual topic, e.g.
https://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/langviews/index.php?url=http://en.wikipedia.o…

Dear all,
the end of Wiki Loves Monuments is closer.
David sent an email about the impossibility to improve the old jury tool.
May you be so kind to inform if you have already a plan for the jury tool?
Do you have already one?
Best regards
