Instagram and Creative Commons
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '22

27 Nov '22

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. Aubrey

Dear Wikimedians, Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria: 1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered *before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000*[UTC]. 2. This user account must have more than *75 edits* on *any single*Wikimedia project *before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000* [UTC].

Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login>). Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors. For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year. To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2012> . Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest.

Polish Railways Open exhibition
by Tomasz Ganicz 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Hi, Today we started an open exhibition of WLM pictures on Central Railways Station in Warsaw. Polish Railways have several spots in Poland where the art can be shown for free for public. We managed to put WLM pictures there for 2 weeks. The pictures are placed on stands in B1 poster size in main hall of the station. Each picture has some description + QR-code pointing to the relevant article in Wikipedia. After 2 weeks the exhibition will be moved to Gdynia and the to Wrocław main railways stations... The funny thing is that this is 100% free for us. See posters: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_exhibi… -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz

Commons categories now in the database
by Maarten Dammers 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Hi everyone, I noticed quite a few Wikipedia's included a Commons link in their monument lists (almost 40.000 entries at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics). I went ahead and included a new field "commonscat" for each entry in the main table. For existing entries I mapped it, for all the other lists I added commonscat as a field. It's now being used by the categorization bot. For example with https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lijst_van_rijksmonumenten_aan_de… I told the bot that all images with id "5940" should be put in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nieuwe_Kerk_%28Amsterdam%29 . I haven't actually changed the template at the Dutch Wikipedia yet, that's something for later. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorizatio… has been updated. Maarten

WLM 2012 Calendar available on Wikimedia Shop
by James Alexander 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Ahoy all! I wanted to give everyone here an early heads up that the WLM 2012 Calendar (A 2013 calendar for the 2012 competition that is :) ) is available on the shop at http://shop.wikimedia.org/WLM2012 for purchase. It includes some WLM stickers and buttons and some Commons and Wikipedia stickers. Right now you're going to have to follow the link to find it and it'll stay hidden until around midnight UTC for Monday when we're starting a 24 hour editor sale. The Calendar is currently already on sale (for $10 USD , normal $12.50 USD ) and we'll ship anywhere. The page itself will probably change a bit over the next day as I make some backend changes for the coming week and add some more photos for the calendar.

wiki loves monuments exhibition
by Andre Koopal 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, I was bold today, and sorted the list of posible exhibitions chronological (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Exhibi…). Tomorrow will be the official opening of the exhibition in Gouda, as I was not involved in the actual work, I am very curious about the result. I seems that there are still some opportunities for people, and a bit curious how final some suggestions are, so just a friendly reminder for people about this exhibition. Regards, Andre

Winners, and statistics
by Romaine Wiki 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hello all, Writing the article for Wiki Loves Monuments on Wikipedia I noticed that 2011 and 2012 had a gallery of winners, 2010 did not have one. So I created: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2010_winners Also I noticed that http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Partici… has somewhere an error. Slovakia is not red on the map, but is listed below. It should also be in sync with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments… So what is Malta doing there? The last thing I really missed, also earlier with making the presentation for the prize giving ceremony was the page with all the statistics. Who can create such page? Such page need to be created for 2011 and 2010 too later on. Greetings, Romaine
