[Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 officially broke world record

[Lodewijk]

Hi all,

We have seen it coming for a while, but now it is official: Wiki Loves
Monuments has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the
Worlds Largest Photography Competition! With 168,208 submissions we
squashed the previous record by roughly 50%. For 2012 we will likely squash
our own record, but it will need some time to become official.

Please find the blog post on the Wiki Loves Monuments blog here:

Thank you all for making this possible! It was a great journey and I am
very glad that all your work gets some extra touch this way!

Best,

Lodewijk
