> holding that Wikimedia Sweden's website/database was in violation of
> Swedish copyright law for making available on the internet photographs of
> artwork permanently situated in public areas, FoP has become more pressing
> than ever. We believe that the ability for members of the public to
> photograph public monuments and landscapes is a fundamental part of free
> expression. We plan to raise this issue to the European Commission this
> summer, and need your help to let them know that it’s important. This first
> one of a series of IRC office hours will be a great opportunity to exchange
> thoughts about it.

> If you have questions that you would like to discuss during the office

Hey all, I've been bold and created Commons:WikiProject Pronunciation.
Commons has over 500,000 pronunciation files and they need a LOT of
work! Any help would be appreciated, especially with foreign
languages. Check out Commons:WikiProject_Pronunciation#Open_tasks,
find your favourite language at
Commons:WikiProject_Pronunciation#Categories and help out. Anything
helps!
Cheers,
Riley Huntley
Categorization of these images seems to be a big problem.
Category names shouldn't be in Italian.

Oggetto: [cultural-partners] Biggest donation of photos in Italy - Paolo
Monti (BEIC)
Data: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 16:26:20 +0200
Mittente: marcok
Hi to all,
I’m the Wikipedian in residence at the digital library of Fondazione
BEIC, Milan, Italy.
In the last days we at BEIC are uploading almost the entire photo
archive of a notable Italian photographer, Paolo Monti, counting 15.000
images.
The whole archive was acquired by Fondazione BEIC in 2008.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Paolo_Monti
For what I know, this is the biggest donation of images in one shot ever
made in Italy. It’s also the first time that a digital archive from a
famous photographer is almost completely uploaded into Commons.
This notable result was possible thanks to the long-lasting
collaboration between BEIC and Wikimedia Italia, started in 2014, and
also thanks to the technical assistance of Federico Leva aka Nemo, the
previous WiR at BEIC, now GLAM specialist at Wikimedia Italia.
The photos of the Paolo Monti archive represent a variety of subjects
(art, events, architecture, people, portraits, nature, artistic nudes,
experimental) and were shot since 1950s to 1980s. Many of them are B/W,
but there are also many fascinating colourful artistic/experimental
pictures.
We are now beginning to work on:
* fixing categories (often translating the basic original italian
keywords into english Commons categories) and providing a more detailed
categorization
* inserting useful images into Wikipedia articles (in italian, english
and other languages)
* selecting the best photos to candidate them as "featured pictures”
in Wikimedia Commons (only those with 2 Megapixel or more).
Please help us, this is a huge work!
If you have any other ideas on how the images may be used, let us know!
Thank you,
