Dear WLMers:
We are only 30 minutes away from the beginning of Wiki Loves Monuments 2013.
A number of tools are available at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Tools
for following the progress. More tools will likely follow in the next days.
Wiki Loves Monuments will begin at the same time everywhere: Sep 1, 00:00 *
but not at the same instant. It will begin staggered due to the multiple
timezones. This year the contest will be led by Russia. You can view the
at contest times at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Upload…
(I urge the local teams to verify that the start and end times for their
country
contest are right)
* Except for Israel, whose contest will be based on Hebrew calendar instead.
We're almost there, teams!
hi,
We have so far received 15 countries' requests. Please note: these (paper)
Moleskine notebooks might make nice prizes if you have a hard time finding
prizes in your country! I know quite a few countries are struggling with
budgets and prizes, so please consider this. There are zero costs attached
for your local team if you order less than 20.
Do it quickly though, because sending them via mail takes... time.

Hi,
three quick notes about this:
* the shipment will be done by Wikimedia Italia office (but, as said
above, the cost will be covered by the international team)
* if you can provide the telephone number, please do so
* the courrier (TNT) can not ship to post office boxes.
Thank you.

Hi all,
For every country we would like to make sure there is an English summary
page describing the contest in your country. The page for Spain is an
excellent example ( http://www.wikilm.es/en/ ). These English summaries are
very important when you hope to get images from foreigners that visited
your country and have tourist photos anyway of all these famous buildings.
That way you get the pictures easily, and these pictures don't lie around
turning into digital dust!
We listed all (up to date) English summaries on
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/english-pages/ - the list is still quite
short. Please, email me /directly/ in reply to this email (please don't
email on-list) and I can add your country's summary too.
Best,
Lodewijk

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] [Jury Tool] Workflow Video
To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <
wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi,
I recorded this video of the workflow of configuring and starting to
use the jury tool. Unfortunately, at the time of that recording
several things had not been implemented yet, which I'll detail in the
list below.
http://wlm.wmflabs.org/wlmjurytoolworkflow.ogv
The workflow after installing the tool using the steps mentioned in
the other thread is more or less as follows:
1. Select the number of rounds of your contest. This is, how many
times will the jury go over the pics
2. For each round you will be presented with a screen to configure the
options for that round. Then, for instance, if you configured your
contest to be of 3 rounds in step 1, you will see 3 configuration
screens in this step.
2.1 For each round you can select whether you want that to be an open
round or an invitational round. An open round means anybody can create
an account in your tool, and go over the pics. An invitational round
means only certain accounts in your tool will be able to go over the
pics of this round. Pending in my TODO list is a configuration option
to specify what accounts are invited to that round.
2.2 For each round you can select what type of scores will be used.
Binay score means Yes/No, while Star-based gives the jury a 5-stars
range to pic for each photo.
2.3 [Not in the video] For each round you can select what the scoring
policy will be. You can pick between the following options: All photos
are scored exactly once and All photos are scored by at least x
juries. Obviously, if you have an invitational round of 5 juries, then
configuring this round so that All photos are scored by at least 5
juries means All photos are scored by all juries.
2.4 For each round you can select the input of that round. Input may
be a category in commons, or a selection of the photos from the
previous round, or a plain text file containing the name of the photos
in commons. Whatever you pic here will be used to show a configuration
screen when the round is about to start.
3. Once all the information for each round is set, Round 1 is about to
start, so the tool will show a configuration screen for that. In the
video, since Round 1 was set to have a commons category as input, the
configuration screen asks for a commons category, you type the name,
and the pics from that round are loaded from the category. Had it been
configured as having input from a plain text file, the tool would have
asked for a file instead of a category in the configuration screen.
And that's it for the moment, there are some other pending things but
I think this covers most of the hassle of configuring the tool. Let me
know if you have any feedback.
David E. Narvaez
