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

GLAM Research as part of Structured Data on Commons
by Alex Stinson 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi all, As part of the Structured Data on Commons program, Jonathan Morgan and Sandra Fauconnier were able to interview a number of GLAM project participants or include them in a survey, to examine how Commons is used by that community and how we could support them. In the research, they highlight a number of both social and technological challenges faced by that group, alongside the needs of the Commons community. I highly recommend either reading the report, or watching the the video documented at: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/01/29/glam-multimedia-metadata-commons/ Cheers, Alex Stinson -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: http://glamwiki.org

WLM 2018 grant request - input welcome
by Lodewijk 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi all, The Wiki Loves Monuments international team is working on our grant request for the 2018 international efforts. Given the challenges, we have set a few focus areas, with special attention to our infrastructure. We hope to make it easier for national organizers to attend the competition. This also means making some choices, and those are reflected in our draft. The draft is still somewhat rough, but I wanted to publish this already, to give you an opportunity to provide input. To streamline the conversation, I kindly request that you do this through the talkpage as much as possible, or email the international team list if you want to bring up something sensitive. If you don't like something, please try to suggest how it can be improved. Given time constraints, I also would request that you provide input earlier rather than later. We will need to agree on a final version in the team, and there are several of us that are having multiple colliding deadlines and other time sinks :) The deadline for this proposal is 31 January (timezone unclear, so assuming UTC) - please provide your input at the latest on 30 January UTC. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_interna… Thank you! Looking forward to your thoughts. Warmly, Lodewijk Member of the international team

"Monumental Stories" on WLM Social Media
by Mohammad Hekmat 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi all, The international team is running a campaign on WLM Instagram and Facebook accounts called "Monumental Stories." This campaign is an effort to highlight winning photos at national level that didn't make it to the top 25 of the international competition. We have reached out to a number of our national winners and asked them to share with us a story about their photo. The stories we've posted so far are very diverse, some are very personal and touching, some are quite informative. You can check out some of them on our Instagram and Facebook accounts: https://www.instagram.com/wikilovesmonuments/ https://www.facebook.com/WikiLovesMonuments/ So far 11 countries have been featured with 6 more ready to be posted but of course we'd like to highlight photos from all participating countries in 2017 or past years and we also welcome more stories from the ones already featured. The main difficulty so far has been the language barrier. We are looking for help from local teams in collecting these stories in local language and then translating them to English for us. If you would like your country to be featured in this campaign and can help please contact me and I will send you more details on what exactly we need. Also any help in advertising for this campaign is appreciated. If you have Instagram/Facebook accounts you can share or re-post our stories or you can encourage your followers in Twitter to check out our stories. Thanks, Mohammad

Copyfraud of WLM winners photo
by Nicolas VIGNERON 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Hi all, TLDR: someone is stealing WLM photo on https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/paul-fearn.html?tab=artwork&page=11 :/ Longer story: WMFR just received an OTRS message from a WLM competitor who discovered that someone is wrongly taking credits for its WLM photos (and other WLM files and other files from Commons apparently) on the fineartamerica website. This competitor send a mail to this website and asked if WMFR can help in any way. So now, I'm sending you this mail to know whether you had to deal with things like this or if you have any ideas of what should be done. Cdlt, ~nicolas

Connect with the Wikimedia Foundation and share your views!

Hi Wikimedia organizers and Program leaders, Apologies for the cross-posting. Every year, the Wikimedia Foundation runs a survey, called the Community Engagement Insights Survey, which asks community members to give feedback on the Wikimedia Foundation’s work.[1] The survey focuses on different audience groups, one of them being community organizers and program leaders who organize activities, outreach, and other programs in the areas of GLAM, Education, Diversity, Gender, STEM, and others. We want to get in touch with program leaders we have not heard from before. By filling out this survey, program leaders become part of our global feedback network, and have a chance to offer feedback on Wikimedia Foundation’s work to support our communities. If you would like to be part of these feedback opportunities, please fill out this short survey: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3mmeBPdVXfCOhlr In particular, we are hoping to collect information from community organizers and program leaders who aren’t already connected to the Wikimedia Foundation or haven’t attended major Wikimedia movement events (like Wikimedia Conference or Wikimania). If your local community has a mailing list or social media channel, or you know an organizer who like didn’t see this email, please forward this message and encourage participation in the survey. Cheers, Maria Cruz Alex Stinson

It's easier for works released with a non-commercial license and used for blatantly commercial purposes, of course. Federico

Wow, that's pretty blatant copyfraud. Anyone who owns those images should have a pretty good case to sue him.
