The term used for the competition was <a href="/wiki/Rijksmonument" title="Rijksmonument">Rijksmonument</a>, or "monument of the nation". This term was well understood by all participants. In 2011 the contest went European and the first queries about what constitutes a monument began. To keep the rules simple and clear for participants, an arbitrary line was drawn at "<a href="/wiki/National_heritage_site" title="National heritage site">national heritage sites</a>", and lists of such monuments were generated across Europe to feed the "monument database". If a photo by a participant expressed the description that was connected by the heritage conservation protection agency to the unique identifier, then the photo was fit for the competition. It is of course possible to take more than one photo of one unique monument identifier, and the preference in the monument lists is generally given to an "overall" photo of the specific object, but participants are encouraged to take photos of details inside and outside the object (for example in the case of churches, often the organ is mentioned in the description). The list of heritage register agencies was made available by the <a href="/wiki/European_Heritage_Days" title="European Heritage Days">European Heritage Days</a> organization. The need to be specific in order to enable the photo tracking in the competition, yet conforming to each Wikipedia project's need for verifiability of noteworthiness, was thus met. Now, a year later, the contest is open to the whole world. </p><p>The Dutch answer to the question "What is a monument?" is "Look around you". With over 66,000 rijksmonuments, the chances are you may be very close to one, or even inside of one if you are reading this in the Netherlands. The way of getting a building listed as a rijksmonument is a bit bureaucratic and works something like the way the current process works for <a href="/wiki/World_Heritage_Site" title="World Heritage Site">World Heritage Sites</a>. A heritage site is nominated first at the municipal level and may be promoted to provincial level before making the national list. For the WLM contest in 2012 discussions are underway to accept municipal monuments from <a href="/wiki/Gouda" class="mw-disambig" title="Gouda">Gouda</a> into the competition. If Gouda's bid is successful, that will mean that the definition of a WLM monument has changed from a national level to the municipal level. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Why_do_I_see_just_buildings_on_Commons_and_why_are_the_pictures_taken_in_September?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Why_do_I_see_just_buildings_on_Commons_and_why_are_the_pictures_taken_in_Septemb"><span id="Why_do_I_see_just_buildings_on_Commons_and_why_are_the_pictures_taken_in_September.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Why_do_I_see_just_buildings_on_Commons_and_why_are_the_pictures_taken_in_Septemb"></span>Why do I see just buildings on Commons and why are the pictures taken in September?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Why_do_I_see_just_buildings_on_Commons_and_why_are_the_pictures_taken_in_Septemb"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Why do I see just buildings on Commons and why are the pictures taken in September?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are currently voices being raised to also add "archeological monuments", or "natural monuments", which in some countries have a separate heritage list than specific <a href="/wiki/Listed_building" title="Listed building">listed buildings</a>. The current lists available in the monuments database represent the fruits of collaborations between Wikimedia volunteers and heritage agencies. The project would love to include archeological sites or natural wonders, though these are sometimes very hard to photograph well. If you are determined and have access to a valid list from a heritage agency, feel free to join the conversation (see the Gouda workgroup, which so far seems successful). </p><p>The thing to remember is that a monument represents a <a href="/wiki/Cultural_heritage" title="Cultural heritage">cultural heritage</a> object that is of encyclopedic value to Wikipedia, and we just want a picture of it (good or bad) to illustrate articles in the Wikipedia projects (in any language). The reason the contest is on Wikimedia Commons is because from there the pictures can be linked to Wikipedia in any language. The reason the contest is in September is because that is generally the month for the <a href="/wiki/Doors_Open_Days" title="Doors Open Days">Doors Open Days</a>, which in Europe are organised by the <a href="/wiki/European_Heritage_Days" title="European Heritage Days">European Heritage Days</a>. This just seemed to be a good "list of lists" to start from. </p><p>Though the contest is in September, you are welcome to upload photos taken earlier, as long as they were taken by you (the uploader). This is because the default WLM uploader assumes you have a Wikimedia Commons username you can login with, and it uses a license for self-taken pictures. The new "<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm">WLM app</a>" for Android smart phones lets you take picures and upload on the spot, and it's hard enough to explain the need for a username and attribution (needed for email contact or how else do you inform the winners?), let alone the need for a license, which many new users have trouble understanding. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="What_about_the_license?" data-mw-thread-id="h-What_about_the_license?"><span id="What_about_the_license.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-What_about_the_license?"></span>What about the license?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-What_about_the_license?"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: What about the license?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The contest uses the Creative Commons license CC-by-SA (attribution and share-alike) for the specific participating country, so for example, the Dutch license used is {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0-nl}}. If you don't care about winning the contest, you are of course welcome to add your photos any month of the year using the regular default Wikimedia Commons uploader under another valid license to Wikimedia Commons and add them manually to the monuments lists yourself. Most of the existing monuments lists were "seeded" this way with existing photos of famous castles, churches, and other objects that were taken with different licenses on Wikimedia Commons. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="How_WLM_works_technically" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_WLM_works_technically"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_WLM_works_technically"></span>How WLM works technically<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_WLM_works_technically"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: How WLM works technically"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Technically, the way the competition works, you need a verifiable list with unique monument numbers to take part. These unique identifiers are used for the monuments database and form the necessary check when participants upload photos in September. Also, the identifiers are loaded into monument lists with geo coordinates, so participants can easily see which monuments still need a picture. The action of adding a photo to a monument list is a manual job. A bot searches for photos that are tagged with correct identifiers and not used in a Wikipedia project. These are then placed in the "unused" category, such as this one for monuments in <a href="/wiki/Wallonia" title="Wallonia">Wallonia</a>: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Historic_sites/Unused_images_of_protected_heritage_sites_in_Wallonia" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites/Unused images of protected heritage sites in Wallonia">Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites/Unused images of protected heritage sites in Wallonia</a>. Volunteers add these pictures to the proper monuments list in Wallonia which can be looked up in the <a href="/wiki/Heritage_registers_in_Belgium" title="Heritage registers in Belgium">Heritage registers in Belgium</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Work_for_the_Jury" data-mw-thread-id="h-Work_for_the_Jury-How_WLM_works_technically"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Work_for_the_Jury-How_WLM_works_technically"></span>Work for the Jury<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Work_for_the_Jury-How_WLM_works_technically"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Work for the Jury"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At the end of the (hectic!) month of September, the task of filtering the masses of photos begins so that each country's jury doesn't get overwhelmed. The first filter is that the photos need to be linked to a valid heritage list (this is what the identifier is for). Next, the photos need to have the correct license, must not be "doctored up too much" with special effects, and must be usable for the encyclopedia (sunset photos look really pretty, but are often not very encyclopedic in practise). Finally, the uploader needs to have an email address enabled on Commons so that person can be contacted over the results. Even with these first basic steps, the juries of some countries were faced with thousands of photos to choose from in 2011. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Manually_adding_photos_to_the_lists" data-mw-thread-id="h-Manually_adding_photos_to_the_lists-How_WLM_works_technically"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Manually_adding_photos_to_the_lists-How_WLM_works_technically"></span>Manually adding photos to the lists<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Manually_adding_photos_to_the_lists-How_WLM_works_technically"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Manually adding photos to the lists"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The photos in the monuments lists are just for the central database and are used to indicate a quick visual reference for objects.
