[Wiki Loves Monuments] 2014 contest

Sat Jan 11 23:16:13 UTC 2014

Hi All

It’s sad to know that. Lodewijk and the international team did a really great work last year, and their tiredness and challenges that we possibly can not imagine without join their work.

For China, we do hope another big event in 2014 with international level competition, it’s just beginning of us, but we do it even maybe without it.

Wiki Loves Earth is a great project undoubted, but the time for preparation is just too short for start a new project. And I think, Wiki Loves Monument is kind of formed a own “brand" for influence and identification, it won’t be a good idea to give up a easy apple, especially for small community like China.

If we really interested in these photo competitions, whatever the monuments or the earth, we should do it together, instead of separating out limit force to several different projects.

I’m not free enough to take over it, but I’ll help if needed.

This mailing list is, however, currently lacking activity - thus we invite everyone interested (or potentially interested) to join it: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesearth !

Please par ticipate in the discussion if you are interested - the faster we decide on the time, the better.

If anyone is interested to participate in organising WLE, please join the mailing list wikilovesearth at lists.wikimedia.org as well!

I can at least say that I will not be involved in Wiki Loves Monuments any more (lack of time, and also because of the difficulties encountered at the funding stage and elsewhere which decreased my enthusiasm a lot) - I can't speak for the other organizers. We're still busy wrapping up the 2013 competition.
