[Wiki Loves Monuments] 'evaluation'

[Lodewijk]

Thanks for spotting, Michael. I don't seem to be able to find the list of
countries however, this is somewhat hidden. Where did you locate it? It is
quite crucial for understanding...

Another very practical mishap I note: for the retention, they only seem to
consider Commons... which is odd. I would definitely include /all projects/
 for this! In earlier evaluations, these numbers proved to be much higher,
which makes sense as most of these people are only occasional
photographers, and their actual interest lies in the content (monuments,
art, etc). Again assumptions.
