Pitanja o projektu

Što je Wiki voli spomenike?

Wiki voli spomenike javni je foto natječaj u kojem se od čitatelja i suradnika Wikipedije traži da fotografiraju spomenike iz zemalja sudionica i da ih postave na Zajednički poslužitelj. Natjecanje je prvi put organizirano 2010. godine u Nizozemskoj, a danas se organizira u desecima zemalja diljem svijeta. Wiki voli spomenike je tijekom proteklih godina prikupio je oko 2 milijuna fotografija koje se mogu koristiti na Wikipediji i Zajedničkom poslužitelju, a Guinnessova knjiga svjetskih rekorda priznaje ga kao najveće fotografsko natjecanje na svijetu.

Koji je opseg ovog projekta?

Foto natječaj fokusiran je na graditeljsku baštinu. Pozivaju se fotografi, hobisti i ljubitelji baštine da dostave fotografije građevina koje se nalaze na popisima graditeljske baštine koji su dostupni putem Wikipedije i Wikipodataka. Wiki voli spomenike organiziran je u desecima zemalja, a definicija onoga što predstavlja 'spomenik' dosta se razlikuje. Nacionalni organizatori odgovorni su za pronalaženje najprikladnije definicije za svoju zemlju, obično je to službeni popis zaštićene ili priznate baštine koju daje vlada. Slike se mogu slati samo za spomenike u 'zemljama sudionicama'.

Međutim, postoji nekoliko općih preporuka koje su zajedničke za sve zemlje sudionice kako bi natjecanja bila međusobno kompatibilna; ove preporuke (ili pravila) bit će navedene u nastavku.

Tko stoji iza svega ovoga?

Wiki voli spomenike postoji kao mnoga nacionalna natjecanja, a na nacionalnoj razini obično ih organiziraju članovi lokalne Wikimedijine zajednice uz pomoć lokalnih Wikimedijinih podružnica. U nekim su zemljama zaljubljenici u baštinu i baštinske organizacije preuzeli aktivnu ulogu u organiziranju natjecanja.

Natjecanje na međunarodnoj razini vodi Međunarodni tim Wiki voli spomenike, a podržavaju ga volonteri diljem svijeta. Ovaj tim razvija i održava infrastrukturu koju koriste nacionalne ekipe (na primjer, alate za pronalaženje spomenika i suđenje) i osigurava međunarodnu završnicu.

Sve u svemu, Wiki voli spomenike organiziraju stotine volontera diljem svijeta.

Mogu li dobiti neke kratke činjenice o natjecanju?

Naravno! Na ovoj stranici možete pronaći pregled svih zemalja koje su sudjelovale u raznim godinama, s brojem prijava po zemljama. Glavne informacije saželi smo u tablici na Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments.

Mogu li postaviti slike iz više od jedne zemlje?

Da! Slobodni ste postaviti koliko god slika želite, iz koliko god zemalja želite — sve dok sudjeluju u Wiki voli spomenike ove godine.

Ne postoje ograničenja u broju nacionalnih natjecanja u kojima možete sudjelovati; ako slučajno imate slike iz drugih zemalja (čak i ako su snimljene prije), možete ih prijaviti na natječaj i povećati svoje šanse za osvajanje nagrade!

Organizacijska pitanja

Moja zemlja želi sudjelovati. Jesam li zakasnio?

Wiki voli spomenike uobičajeno se organizira u rujnu, a od 2020. i u listopadu. Što prije počnete s organizacijom, to ćete bolje obaviti posao. Koliko posla treba obaviti ovisi donekle o zemlji da bi se uspostavio minimalni natječaj - osobito pronalaženje i objavljivanje popisa spomenika može biti dugotrajno po prvi put. Molimo kontaktirajte međunarodni tim ako želite dobiti procjenu možete li se i dalje pridružiti.

If you want to know when to start - earlier is better! You can take a look at our detailed time-line, but that is for a full effort organization, and in an ideal world. Most countries that join for the first time, need a couple of months to involve volunteers, start partnerships and find sponsors, prepare the lists of monuments and set up proper categories on Wikimedia Commons.

If you feel like doing it in your country, the sooner you start, the better. The end of April is a nice aim to get seriously started. Sometimes you can still join well into August, but this heavily depends on your country, and requires your team to invest more time in a tight timespan.

Kako mogu biti uključen?

It's really simple, easy, and fun! If you want to organize a Wiki Loves Monuments in your area, please have a look at the list of participating countries; if you find your country already on the list, please contact the contact person that is listed, and get involved with them! They usually appreciate all the help they can get.

However, if your country is not yet on the list, it usually means that there wasn't yet enough interest or volunteer capacity in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments. Now is your chance to initiate the competition! A good first step is to get in touch with the international team, to see if anyone else has already privately shown interest from your country. That way you can be put in touch, and join efforts. You can also take a look at this documentation page of what is needed to organize Wiki Loves Monuments in your country. You can also subscribe to the international discussion mailing list and introduce yourself there. This is an excellent place to ask questions and help. Definitely subscribe to the Wiki Loves Monuments announcement mailing list which is without elaborate discussions, but focuses on the most important messages, especially closer to the competition.

You don't need to be a member of your local Wikimedia chapter to organize a Wiki Loves Monuments in your country, but if there is a chapter in your area, please try to approach them and get their support! On the other hand, if you are a member of your local Wikimedia chapter, please make sure to involve the community in the project as much as possible — you will definitely need their help in completing the lists of monuments, correcting the likely mistakes, and in many more aspects of the preparations.

Mislim da trebam pomoć. Kako me možete podržati?

First of all, thank you for having the courage to ask for help. There is a lot of experience by now, and we all would like to see you succeed. The international team can help you with several things, especially those related to the technical part of the preparations: We will set up a basic infrastructure for you for uploading and judging images, and can help you with preparing your local website, monument lists and tools.

We can also help out with a trademark agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation (in case your country does not have a Wikimedia Chapter and you want to use any Wikimedia trademarks in the promotion of your local contest). We can also advise on who you can approach for possible partnerships (although mostly in Europe).

In addition, if you feel that a brainstorming meeting in your country with one of us present would be helpful, too, please let us know, and we'll try to help; we have some budget available to accommodate in case your chapter or local Wikimedia group has no funds.

If you have a very specific request, please also have a look at the who's who page to see whom you might directly contact about your needs. You can always leave questions at our Helpdesk.

Koliko pobjedničkih fotografija ima na lokalnom Wiki voli spomenike?

Every national competition decides how many photos they can and want to reward with a prize. It's really all up to you! To give an example, in the 2011 edition there were 22 winning pictures in Belgium, while in the same year the Romanian jury decided to name only 3 winners.

However, for convenience, fairness and compatibility reasons, each national competition can submit up to 10 nominations to the international level of the competition; most of the time, these are the local winners and, whenever applicable, some other pictures (often called honorable mentions) as decided by the local jury.

Je li obvezna registracija vršne domene wikilovesmonuments.TLD?

The short answer is: "No."

You can set up your "landing page" on a dedicated website like https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk, or on a page on Wikimedia Commons like Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Ireland. However, if your local Wikimedia chapter or group can afford to buy the top-level domain of your country, we would strongly suggest doing so; even if you decide to another domain, you would protect the TLD from unpleasant cybersquatting (which has already happened for some countries).

If you cannot register a top-level domain in your country due to other issues — for instance because there is no Wikimedia chapter in the country or the existing chapter or group cannot afford to buy a domain or hosting — please bring the problem to our attention by directly contacting the international team; there is no clearly defined procedure on how to deal with such situations, but we'll definitely try to help.

Kako postaviti mrežnu stranicu za svoju zemlju?

Most of the national teams use either a Wordpress blog or a page on Wikimedia Commons. We created a Wiki Loves Monuments theme on Wordpress that you can use, and you can reuse a page from another country that you appreciate if you want to stick to Wikimedia Commons. All the details on how to set up the Wordpress website are available in our PDF document. For questions, please refer to the mailing list.

Some countries like to use a dedicated MediaWiki installation, the software that powers this very website. There is a WikiLovesMonuments extension for MediaWiki which bundles some WLM information and adds a sidebar portlet with links to websites of the other participating countries.

U mojoj zemlji se koristi više od jednog jezika, kako to učiniti?

Organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in a country with more than one official language would, of course, require some additional effort, especially with translations. In fact, this situation has already happened since 2011 (Belgium and Switzerland), to nd there is some experience we can share.

The biggest problem (or "opportunity") would be to create identical lists in two or more languages and publish them on appropriate Wikipedias; the only requirement is to use the same monument identifiers on all lists (the rest of the information can be localized). Please ask on the Help desk for more information.

The upload process itself, which uses UploadWizard and a Wiki Loves Monuments overlay, is fully translatable into as many languages as it is required. In 2011, every country had UploadCampaigns in its official language (or languages) and an English language for non-native speakers who might have wanted to take part in the competition. Translations are prepared by volunteers, including local organizers, and posted to Wikimedia Commons with help from the administrators; a similar scheme is being used to prepare CentralNotice banners on Meta.

Koji su preporučeni partneri za lokalni Wiki voli spomenike?

Choosing partners for a local Wiki Loves Monuments is one of the most important things that every country should decide on by itself, and we can only advise you about whom you could contact. There are too many differences between how cultural heritage sectors are organized from country to country.

There are basically three types of partners one can imagine:

1. Governmental partners — you will need to compile a list of monuments, and getting an official list from your government with as much detail as possible would be very helpful. Cooperating with them could be extra useful for both sides, too, because people will more likely find mistakes in the original lists that could be reported back to the partner. Some countries were able to start a collaboration where they invited their participants to give feedback to the government what is missing from the monument lists.
2. Publicity partners — those are partners that can help you with getting the word out, reaching specific audiences and media; e.g. non-governmental cultural heritage organizations, photographer organizations, schools organization etc. You can also consider partners with a significant social media presence, or magazines, newspapers etc.
3. Sponsors — they can provide you with awards for the winners and possibly cover some of the costs of the event.

A list of possible partners was prepared in 2011; please have a look if those suggestion apply to your country, too.

Što s majicama?

Both for logistic and budget reasons, the international team typically won't be producing Wiki Loves Monuments T-shirts. It will be much more cost-efficient to have local teams produce T-shirts for their own purposes than to ship them around the globe, not to speak about size differences between the countries, and the amount of work that's needed to oversee the shipment.

To help you with the design and production of T-shirts, there are two possible logos, one for monochrome print, and one for three-colour print. Use the one you prefer and enjoy!

Kako prikupiti novac za naš proračun?

We suggest to first try to cover your expenses with the help of sponsors. In many countries it is possible to find sponsors to pay for the things or services you would otherwise have to pay for yourselves (prizes, goodies, promotional materials, etc.). If there is a Wikimedia chapter in your country, it is also feasible that they could cover some part of the expenses.

When finding sponsors for your contest or getting support from a local Wikimedia chapter is not possible, there still remains a third way. The Wikimedia Foundation provides grants, especially for smaller projects. Please take a look at Wikimedia Foundation grants processes - it looks like the Rapid Grants are the most suitable.

Gdje mogu pronaći relevantne statistike, ankete itd.?

In the past years, some statistics have been collected, and surveys have been executed. This is a (perhaps not exhaustive) overview of these:

• Basic facts: See above
• Some helpful statistics tools: Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024/Tools
• Retention rate: Editor retention (2011-2012)

Pitanja o pravilima natjecanja

Koja su osnovna pravila?

The basic set of rules or "recommendations" to run the contest are:

1. All photos participating in the competition should be self-taken and self-uploaded;
2. Upload is possible in September and October (extraordinary cases will be evaluated individually), to Wikimedia Commons with a maximum of 31 days for your competition;
3. The default license is Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 (CC-BY-SA 4.0);
4. All eligible pictures must have an identifier, provided by the participants during upload;
5. Participants should have their e-mail enabled on Wikimedia Commons (or the platform they uploaded their photos to) to be eligible for prizes;
6. Every national contest is able to nominate 10 pictures to the international stage of the competition.

Koji su tehnički zahtjevi za slike?

There haven't been any general technical requirements for the pictures. All self-taken and self-uploaded photos that fulfill the other basic rules (see above) and fit in the Wikimedia Commons scope were accepted into the contest, as the main goal of Wiki Loves Monuments has been to collect as many pictures usable for Wikipedia as possible. Local organisers and local juries are able to define their precise requirements independently, and choose their winners accordingly.

Concerns have been voiced by some members of the Wikimedia Commons community that some pictures uploaded for Wiki Loves Monuments were of a bad quality. It would be against the openness of the competition to set any technical requirements for the photos aside from the judging. However, some ideas were documented about how to help the participants improve the quality of their pictures.

Kako bi trebao biti formiran lokalni žiri?

Wiki Loves Monuments is not about any photos: it's about photos of monuments; about beautiful photos of monuments; and about beautiful photos of monuments that suit the encyclopaedic purpose of Wikipedia (and other Wikimedia projects). Hence, it was agreed that a jury should take into consideration all those values when taking its decision on the winners, both locally and internationally.

In order to balance those three values—and also to involve external sponsors and partners—most of last years' juries consisted of professional photographers, cultural heritage specialists and Wikimedians, who took their decisions in a joint manner. In some countries there was also a vote open for the public, in which Wikimedians chose their favourites, but this should be considered only an addition to the regular decision of a jury.

Tehnička pitanja

Koji će se softver koristiti za učitavanje slika za Wiki Loves Monuments?

Following last years' experiences, we will be using the UploadWizard simplified by a special Wiki Loves Monuments overlay (an UploadCampaign). Each country has its own upload campaign which adds the right templates to the uploaded files. Sometimes this is even further simplified, by providing direct upload links for specific monuments through monument lists and tools such as Monumental. You can already test the upload campaign, see this page.

Pictures can be uploaded using other tools (e.g. Commonist, Up!), but as this requires further knowledge of wiki markup and Wikimedia Commons itself, in the previous years those methods were used only by more experienced editors.

Što je s korištenjem CentralNotice bannera?

Just like in previous editions, we will be using CentralNotice banners to call visitors to participate in the contest. The banners will be based on geography and the language of the user, and will be visible in all Wikimedia projects throughout the competition month(s). They will direct the user to the website of their country's contest to provide all information needed to participate.

See Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024/CentralNotice for detailed information and translations of the text used in the banners. Please add the url of the landing page of each participating country to the table.

Kako bih trebao napraviti popis spomenika?

To participate in the contest it is recommended to have lists of monuments on Wikipedia, so that participants know which objects can be photographed. These monument lists contain for each monument a unique identifier to easily identify a specific monument. In these lists you can add direct links to the special upload wizard for your country which pre-fills the upload campaign to make it easier to participate. See for more information about creating lists of monuments on this page. When the monument lists are created they can be added to the monument database to enable handy tools (which use these lists).

Što je s popisima spomenika na Wikipodatcima?

Several countries have been moving their lists from Wikipedia into Wikimedia's database Wikidata, which in turn allows automated lists of monuments to be created on your local Wikipedia. Manual and automated lists are both okay for Wiki Loves Monuments.

More information on Wikidata and Wiki Loves Monuments will hopefully be added soon. A data model for the structured data on monuments is already available at Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments/Structured data.

Gdje mogu pronaći informacije o bazi podataka spomenika?

Documentation for the monuments database is available at Commons:Monuments database.

Koji će softver žiri koristiti za odabir slika?

While each country can decide what tool or method will it use to select the winning pictures, a software tool has been developed aiming to cover the needs of many possible scenarios, based on the experience from past years. Commons:Montage is a tool which, since 2016, is used by several Wiki Loves competitions. Explanations of the tool are on the project page, to request a campaign for your national competition specifically, please visit the talk page.

A list of all sorts of other tools for Wiki Loves Monuments can be found here.

If you have any questions regarding the CentralNotice, upload campaigns or related templates, and more, used for Wiki Loves Monuments, please ask them on the talk page. The talk page is watched by the international team. You can also contact us at IRC in the channel #wikilovesmonuments at freenode. Access webchat → or go there in your IRC client and ask for Romaine.
