Wiki Loves Switzerland

@Atsirlin: Hi, I kindly ask you to create a campaign for the Wiki Loves Switzerland 2020 contest. Thank you in advance. --CristianNX 20:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Please provide a Commons category, beginning and end time, and the name of a jury coordinator. Ciell (talk) 17:04, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: This is the category, me as jury coordinator, the contest started at October 15th and ended at November 30th. Thank you in advance. --CristianNX 18:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Could you please give me a feedback? Thank you. --CristianNX 09:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
@CristianNX: So sorry to have made you wait! This slipped my mind, you were right to ping me again. Here you go: 393-wiki-loves-switzerland-2020. Ciell (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Thank you very much! --CristianNX 15:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Atikamekw Archives

Hello Montage team! Would it be possible to set up a campaign for "Wiki Loves Atikamekw Archives"? The photos to be evaluated are contained in the Category:Photos by Pierre Hivon and Pierre Dinel. If you need further information, feel free to ask me. Best regards, Benoit Rochon (talk) 22:27, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Please provide a beginning and end time, and the name of a jury coordinator. Ciell (talk) 17:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
The jury coordinator will be myself and the timeframe will be 3 months from now, let's say April 30th ? Hartelijk bedankt, Ciell ! Benoit Rochon (talk) 17:51, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Please remind me towards the ending of the competition. Ciell (talk) 21:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Ciell, in fact we would be ready to start now the 3 rounds using Montage. Thank you in advance, Benoit Rochon (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
@Benoit Rochon: Hi Benoit, I'm not really sure what you want, and there seems to be no Commons:Wiki Loves Atikamekw Archives or Category:Wiki Loves Atikamekw Archives for me. Is the one category you mention the only category for the competition (a donation as it seems), or will there still be more files accumulated? Ciell (talk) 21:23, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: this project, which has been going on for 3 years, is not a competition strictly speaking, and there will be no more photos accumulated. The purpose of using Montage at this stage of the project is to determine, according to the jury, the top 50 best photos in this category. Ultimately, Wikimedia Canada will make an exhibition in Montreal, then a permanent exhibition in Manawan. Thank you in advance for facilitating the installation of Montage to complete this project. Best regards, Benoit Rochon (talk) 16:43, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
@Benoit Rochon: Thank you for explaining. Am I right that the images in the category were uploaded between dec 1st 2020 - jan 31st 2021? (Montage pulls in the images that need to be judged by their upload date.) Ciell (talk) 17:48, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: gotcha! Good question... with User:Thérèse Ottawa, we've uploading since several month. So, is the timeframe can be wide? Like 36 months for instance? Benoit Rochon (talk) 18:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
@Benoit Rochon: I've never created a campaign with such a wide time frame before, but the tool lets me do it so I assume this should work: 394-wiki-loves-atikamekw-archives. If not, feel free to ping me again. Ciell (talk) 18:55, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Merci Ciell ! Benoit Rochon (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Last question Ciell, is there a limit on the number of jurors? Benoit Rochon (talk) 00:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Good one, I don't know, but let's find out. How many jurors are on the team? Jurors need to be assigned by the coordinator (you) before the judging starts. Ciell (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello Ciell, no problem I know how coordinating role works, but I never had such a large jury, about 20 people until now and maybe 30-40 by the deadline on Feb 15th. Do you think it's too much? Benoit Rochon (talk) 20:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
If anyone is able to answer that question, it will be @Slaporte: is there a maximum amount of jurors per Montage campaign? Ciell (talk) 13:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Time Sensitive:Wiki Loves Folklore Montage Setup 2021

Hello Atsirlin! My name is Joy and I am co-ordinator for Commons contest Wiki Loves Folklore 2021 Internationalcontest would like to request setting up campaign for jury on Montage. The contest ended yesterday. We will start the jury work as soon as the montage campaign can be set up. Thank you! Joy Agyepong (talk) 08:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Joy Agyepong: I'm not Atsirlin, but can help you as well. Please provide
  • the landing page or Commons category that was used for the contest
  • the start and end dates (UTC)
  • and the jury coordinator.

Preparation for WLM 2021 in Italy

We are thinking about new some special prizes for WLM 2021 in Italy, such as one for photos of less known or represented monuments; in order to organize it, we would like to keep a jury consultation with Montage, may we have a campaign set up for it? Thank you very much. --Marta Arosio (WMIT) (talk) 12:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Marta Arosio (WMIT): , let me ping Slaporte for you, he might be able to help you. If you would like to have the same picture in two or more campaigns, I think you would only need to make sure these images are in these both categories: Montage pulls in the pictures through the category that they are in. It is no problem to have 2 campaigns for the same, or even different jurors. Ciell (talk) 19:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you @Ciell: ! I see now that I did not mention that we would like to keep the preparation campaign now, with the photos of the previous years, while the jury rounds for WLM 2021 will be of course kept in autumn. That is because we want to see which monuments need to improve thir photos, in order to suggest to photographers to focus on those. --Marta Arosio (WMIT) (talk) 08:05, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ciell: , this is Ysogo working with Marta on WLM preparation. How is going this request? Can you make the campaign to be available with end of April? Do you need any additional info? Thank you.--Ysogo (talk) 20:35, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ysogo: I've sent one of the developers an email to get him to have a look at this request, but he has not yet replied and maybe busy with other things atm. I am not sure if Montage will be able to attend to your needs for this: could I ask you to create a ticket request in phabricator using the #Montage tag? It will then be a question visible for all programmers, and not be depending on the one or two watching this page.
Please in the ticket describe your intention for this specific campaign, and what you think would be needed: also, list the categories in Commons you would like to judge. Ciell (talk) 20:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ciell: , thanks for the quick feedback. Somehow, I can't get the point. To the best of my understanding, Montage as-is can already support our need: we need to open a campaign to judge the pictures that we collected in User:Ysogo/Sandbox B (that are the ones that are rated as most important for each of the monument in one italian region). As far as I know, Montage can work with images listed in a page. If I have missed some points, let me know. Thanks.--Ysogo (talk) 21:00, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ysogo: Sounds probable! What is the oldest upload date of the images? I need the dates for the campaign settings, so Montage knows what images to pull in. Ciell (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Hello! the oldest upload is dating May31st 2010. Thank you. --Ysogo (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ysogo and Marta Arosio (WMIT): Go ahead and give it a try! 399-preparation-for-wlm-2021-in-italy. Ciell (talk) 16:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Thanks a lot!--Ysogo (talk) 17:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Thank you so much! --Marta Arosio (WMIT) (talk) 07:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ciell: Hello, I'm facing a strange issue. To prepare the Round1 of the campaign, I opted to use "File" to load the list of the image. Hence I saved the content of User:Ysogo/Sandbox B in a local .txt (listing 1 file x line in the txt without the leading "File:" as per instruction) and I put the name of the file in the Round setting page. I also turned off all test for "disqualification" in the settings. But when I save the Round, Montage after some seconds returns the following message: "Import Warning/ import issues - no entries imported - all entries disqualified by round settings". Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any hint.--Ysogo (talk) 19:20, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot help you - I only have campaign creation rights and little knowledge of the software behind the tool - so I decided to create a request in Phabricator. Ciell (talk) 21:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you.--Ysogo (talk) 20:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ysogo, I'm sorry that we got no reply from the team, but I did notice today that you managed to get the rounds working. Is everything working for you now? Did the bug disappear from itself, or did you come up with a work around? If so, could you maybe share the solution you found for the error you got back in March/April? This might be helpful for the Montage-developers to get more insight in what was initially causing the problem. Ciell (talk) 21:01, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ciell. Actually, I applied a workaround: I added a dedicated category to the pictures that I wanted to be voted and I set up the campaign based on the directory. Montage through File is still not working. --Ysogo (talk) 21:26, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey @Ciell: please assist in setting up Montage for WLE 2021 in Moldova. We need two separate campaigns: main one for Category:Images from Wiki Loves Earth 2021 in Moldova - eligible for phase I (national) (id 'wiki-loves-earth-2021-in-moldova') and a special prize campaign for Category:Images from Wiki Loves Earth 2021 in Moldova – Fresh category (id 'wiki-loves-earth-2021-in-moldova-fresh'). Start/end dates = May 31, 21:00 UTC / June 30, 20:59 UTC. Jury coordinator: myself (Gikü). Thank you! Gikü (talk) 17:18, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gikü, here you go:
Best, Ciell (talk) 15:13, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ciell: unfortunately I am not able to start off any of the campaigns. The files can't be imported neither thru category nor thru manual list (maybe some encoding issues?). Can you lend a hand?
The jurors for each campaign are Alexpro.md, Botnaristefan, and Dan Mihai Pitea.
Thank you in advance! Gikü (talk) 11:32, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Gikü, I deleted the rounds for you, and created the first rounds again. Could it maybe be you went to a different page to soon? Montage needs about a minute to import all the files into the campaign. I forgot to copy-paste your description in the fresh-campaign, but you should be able to add this yourself. Ciell (talk) 15:36, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: I give up. I could start off the 'fresh' campaign, but the 'national' campaign is still unsolvable. During countless tries, I never managed to get files assigned to jurors as tasks; one time I did but for some reasons there were twice as many tasks as expected (meaning that jurors would have to evaluate every single file twice). If you have a magic wand, please use it, we are starting to get tight on schedule. Gikü (talk) 20:38, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Gikü, not really sure why this is going wrong here, but did you maybe delete the round I had set up...? With the box behind "disqualify by size" and the file size set to 2000000 (default-settings of Montage), images smaller then 2000000kb will be disqualified: it is better to either lower the kb-size, or uncheck this box. I thought I had done that when creating both rounds, but apparently it was not anymore when I reviewed the settings again just now. If you click on activate through the link here in the bottom the jury should be able to start judging 1555 images for you. The quorum in your original settings has been set for 2 jurors to look at every picture, so they will all have to look at a bit over 1000 images. If you drop this quorum in the first round, it brings down the number to 500 images they'll have to look at - assuming good faith with your jurors, for the round one selections this might be an option. There is no limit to the amount of rounds you can have the jurors do, so even 2 yes/no round to start could be enough to move towards a final 100, and maybe end with a ranking round when there are 25 or less images left. A round can still be changes by you as the coordinator until the first activation of the round, so you can remove the quorum from this round (my recommendation) by clicking "edit round" in the top. Hope this helpes! Ciell (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Thank you so much for you detailed assistance! I feel humbled that you went into so much details, I was going to tell you that you shouldn't have, but thanks to the details I received a clue of what was wrong this whole time. Or at least what I think was wrong.
One of the rules of WLE Moldova 2021 states that the winning photos must have at least 2Megapixels (product of width and height). Each time I was designing a round I was setting the 'Disqualify by resolution' to 2000000 as per rules. I did not have a single clue that this number is not taken at face value – from what you've said this is actually the 'size in kilobytes' (??!).
In any case, I think we are finally good to go. I've asked one of the jury members to have a quick look before I invite all the jurors to work. Thank you for all your assistance, I know you don't have a lot of time.. I really appreciate! Yours, Gikü (talk) 10:51, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
Just one moment @Ciell: there are again two times more tasks than expected: [2] If there are 2/3 jurors per photo, each photo should be evaluated two times, thus there must be 3110 tasks and not 6220. PS: I did not change anything to the round except clicking 'Activate'. Gikü (talk) 10:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Gikü, I'm actually not sure if it is kB, but it does help to lower this standard. Maybe @Slaporte can tell us more specific how this works, and for the 3110 vs 6220 tasks the same. I just know if you would not use a quorum in the first round, the initial workload for the jurors is much less, and considering the short time-frame you might want to consider deleting and re-creating this first round. But it is up to you. Ciell (talk) 12:37, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Can you initiate a brand new campaign for the national category? Please. This campaign has no hope, it's all over the place, this is insane – last round I've created had 3110 files and 12440 tasks... instead of the expected 1550 and 3110 respectively. Gikü (talk) 20:26, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
I haven't even mentioned that every time I create a new round two rounds are generated. Gikü (talk) 20:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
@Gikü: It makes total sense of course that every time you import images anew into a campaign the tasks double. Sorry I did not think of that, and I will be filing a bug on this. In the meantime: please find the new campaign here: review the settings and click 'activate' at the bottom to start judging! Sorry about the hassle.
I have not heard about the double round creation before: if you can tell me the steps you take and where this goes wrong, plus a screenshot or small movie about what happens, I can try and recreate the error and file a bug report for this also. Ciell (talk) 16:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Problem with ? in file name

?-problem?

One of our jurors reported a problem getting from Montage to Commons to get a better look of an image, and was asking if the ? in the title might be the reason for the problem. Is this a known problem or a new feature? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Axel Pettersson (WMSE) I'd like to try to replicate the error, but in the meantime would very much appreciate if he could take a screenshot from the error he is getting. Ciell (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Is this what happens to him as well? I thought for a moment it might be the tiff format, because Commons is haven problems with that as well at the moment, but this looks to me as a typical Montage-problem with the question mark. Thanks for noticing. Ciell (talk) 19:36, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Muixerangues

@Ciell Hello Montage team! Would it be possible to set up a campaign for "Wiki Loves Muixerangues"? The photos to be evaluated are contained in the Category:Uploaded via Campaign:wlmuixerangues.

Jury coordinator: User:19Tarrestnom65

Beginning time: July 19th 00:01 UTC End time: July 23rd 23:59 UTC

Coordinator does not speak English, so if you need further information, feel free to ask me. Best regards, B25es (talk) 07:24, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi B25es, if I see correctly, your upload campaign has not finished yet, therefore it is too early for me to set up Montage. Please remind me after the contest has finished. Ciell (talk) 19:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi B25es, okay, and when did your upload campaign start? Ciell (talk) 08:08, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: , starting date May 17th 2021. You're of great help! B25es (talk) 08:24, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi B25es 19Tarrestnom65, here is the campaign: 419-wiki-loves-muixerangues-2021. B25es: I can make you coordinator as well, because I don't think we have localization in Spanish for the Montage tool available. Unless you are a participant? Ciell (talk) 09:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, but she manages well herself! B25es (talk) 10:47, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Fine as well, of course! Ciell (talk) 14:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: , they have started voting and a couple of odd things are happening.
1st.- The original category has 248 files. Only 171 have being included in the votation (more about that later). Those 171 files are being sent to the jurors in blocks of 204 or 206 files. That means that at least 33 items are just the same file presented twice.
2nd.- 77 files have been removed from the votation but we don't understand why. They are of diferent sizes, dates of uploading, dates of production. We cannot find what they have in common. I have put them in Category:Fotos de Muixerangues que no salen para elegir. Many of them are pretty small (under 1 Mb, even under 100kB) but others are "medium sized".
Is it that we did something wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help! B25es (talk) 17:25, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi B25es
1) You have set a quorum for at least 3 jurors per image. So 3x171 image views needed = 513 images. Did you start the first round twice? Montage does not notice duplicates with a second pull in, for instance by starting the first round a second time, and 2x513 images = 1026 tasks for the jurors. 1026/5 jurors = indeed 204/206 images per person.
2) All values for the round are set to 'true'. So all option are applied, including the ones for quality ("Disqualify by resolution") and for instance upload date ("Disqualify by upload date") where sometimes if the images is edited and the participants uploads a new version, this latest upload date will be pulled into montage, and if this corrected file is uploaded after the closing date, the image will be disqualified.
I learned from a previous case that there is only one solution for problem 1), and that is to create a new campaign for you. Should I go forward and start a new campaign? Ciell (talk) 17:54, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer!
Yes, we'll create a new campaing. And this time I'd rather be included as me as another coordinator (B25es and 19Tarrestnom65). All other data are the same, and we'll try to be more careful. B25es (talk) 18:23, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Login authentication fails

Our jurors have problems to access Montage. On pressing "Log in using Wikimedia account", the server returns the following error

Internal server error <ExceptionInfo [requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='meta.wikimedia.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /w/index.php?title=Special%3AOAuth%2Finitiate (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)'),))] (42 frames, last=Callpoint('send', 514, 'requests.adapters', '/data/project/montage/www/python/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py', 1014, ' raise SSLError(e, request=request)'))>

I cannot access my old campaigns on Montage

Hi, I have a meeting for the next edition of Wiki Science Competition on October 8th and I had to open Montage to check my old campaigns. I was revising my folder of the previous editions and I was looking for all old summary xls files, I realized I was missing few of them in my archive (I usually save everything with a local copy)

For some reason, I cannot log in on Montage, this have been occurring since at least 3 days. In the meantime, have asked around to other users who were previously jurors an they get the same error message of "Internal server error". I hoped it was temporary, but what is going on?--Alexmar983 (talk) 14:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 Tuscany

We have a parallel competition again this year. A list of jurors for the first round was confirmed yesterday. So would lie to have a campaign, I have to start to revise their username before october 1t. --Alexmar983 (talk) 14:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

I made the request for the local contest in Tuscany below, toghether with all the other local Italian contest. --Marta Arosio (WMIT) (talk) 11:52, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Montage is working since this morning, where is the campaign? We are calmly waiting...--Alexmar983 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Alexmar983, thank you for your patience: I have created the Tuscany campaign, linked below. Maybe good to know: I am a volunteer (same as our Montage devs are), so sometimes things take a little bit more time then we would want. I hope this did not cause too much of an inconvenience to you and your judges. Ciell (talk) 18:55, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Ciell I would have started by now... if I had been a manager but I could not even see it on Montage.--Alexmar983 (talk) 22:31, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Also, i now you are a volunteer. Please notice: that is why you should not make more than necessary, or you would have even less time to do the important task, which is giving the campaign. Not setting it up or asking for all the details, this should be done if specifically required by users. If they had problems in the past, please remind them that they can ask for more help.
So, to sum up. we could have had a campaign ready before October, 1st (when you read the request), like every other years. Not starting it at a late night of the final day (as I did in the past after the check), but waiting few days when Montage was off, and starting it on October 5th. Instead I had to wait and I was not given access or even pinged. What was the point?
Now, I had to go for plan B, which I could have done since the beginning, I was trying to wait (and I also had to slow down the request from the local coordinator to start asap) but at the second mail from a juror, I had no other option. So I solved it and we started it in another way.
if you think you need more help for bottlenecks, please consider giving me access to your role. I know what I can do, I have witnessed all the problems over the years (plus I am the first translator of it-N the page here), it's really no big deal. Glad to help.--Alexmar983 (talk) 03:09, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Great, I was just now popping online to check if you were okay with me adding Alexmar because I realised I did not ask this specifically, but you have added them yourself already. Perfect! Ciell (talk) 06:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Ciell and Ciell we already started our campaign. Some of our jurors are people with their own page on Wikipedia, because they are quite important or busy in theri field. We ask them to do the work every year at the same level of our wiki jurors, inclusing the basic sorting but they don't have a lot of flexible time. If we don't start where is more or less supposed to start, they can't join us. I always had a plan B, but I asked the local coordinator to point out again that Montage was ready days ago. After we were stuck for more days, we went for plan B. I will add Marta to our current campaign in few days. Just to be sure since it is rigid, I will do it when it is paused during the final distribution to complete round 1. --Alexmar983 (talk) 14:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

  • the start and end dates of the competition/uploaded images (in UTC)
  • and the jury coordinator.
Thanks! Ciell (talk) 19:10, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Fine, this camapaign depends on the other ones, if some of them are in October it will be later. Honestly, I don't get confused having it there, and I think I can insert and change the dates once you give me the flag so it's not a critical information. In this case, it's a blurry information, the file from the campaigns are given different different deadlines, you just put a very large time slot and that's it. --Alexmar983 (talk) 19:25, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi Alexmar,
I am not familiar with the Wiki Loves Classics competition I think, so maybe you could share the link to the competition page or the initiative with me? And with "my campaign" you are referring to the #Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 Tuscany on this page, correct? According to Marta Arosio (WMIT) and #Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 this competition has also not yet ended.
Setting up a campaign cost me a few minutes per campaign, and because loading the campaign before the competition has ended causes errors in the loading of the images into Montage and therefore way more time for all parties involved, I absolutely prefer to just receive a ping when a campaign is needed. But I could make an exception of course, but I do really need more information to help you with this. Ciell (talk) 20:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
The WLC "effort" is something we do in addition to existing WLM competitions. It's a parallel process, it simply uses the files from WLM. See Commons:Wiki_Loves_Classics_2019 and Commons:Wiki_Loves_Classics_2020... we use it to refine existing files, improve their metadata and at the same time, we select the best ones. It's not an "outreach" effort. While checking them, files are transferred in a specific category and further analyzed. Jurors also help (if expert) with their clean-up. I have not made the page yet because it's a summary page not a promotional page. With this analysis, we can select critical situations and spot countries who might need some feedback to handle this content. Based on that feedback, we are for example proposing literacy classes about Wikidata and file management for the Wiki World heritage User Group in the Global South. Last year we did not use Montage, but we think we can use it again this year.
I am sure people can get confused with deadlines but this never occurred to me... never had any problem, I worked with many campaigns as manager (Tuscany WLM, Liguria WLM, Portugal WLM, all Wiki Science Competitions) and I only need a blank link with the role of manager, I can fix settings. My main issue so far was a weird upload bug with non-Latin scripts, not deadline. Honestly, I don't recall giving deadline information before. you are probably using some workflow intended for newbies of the tool.
Since I was here for another campaign, I ask you that one as well. Like I did for example in 2019... but again if you want to wait, let's wait.
This has nothing to do with Marta Arosio (WMIT)'s comment. Honestly, I would not talk too much but if you want to know, the local campaigns of WLM in Italy were in parallel to the national competition until 2018, they were experiments to engage communities and they worked. Ours worked very well. In 2018 the manager changed, the office was in critical situation and she was rushed in fixing it. Not her fault there, she was new and not very expert of Montage, I had to explain to her the tool for example. In order to help WMI to complete the season we accepted the task of selecting the images as a pre-jury but we stated that using local selections as prerequisite of national sorting was not an optimal idea because it creates strong fluctuation. Plus, competitions might have different goals. Our goal is to depicts the variety of the region, not to get a "best" image that can be everything depending on the jury. To have a enduring competition working for free you need to adapt to the local taste. So for example we prefer to remove similar images of the same monuments.
Now I can tell you much more about it (I would enjoy it :D ) but long story short, we got our parallel competition back. As you can see since 2020 all Tuscan images go to a local category but also to a miscellaneous generic categories (e.g. here in 2021). This means WMI does not need to strictly overview anything. The images are part of the national selection via this category, but the local category is not used by WMI, and that's the category where we work. That's why we present them separately on the international summary page as well. We are the first or second region every year, but while #1 region can change we are consistently a small country on our own. We even have exchange of jurors with other national juries (Portugal).
I asked this year's local coordinator if the jury was separated again, we checked that the category was separate (as it should be), I started to assemble the jury, and as soon as I had my 10th confirmed name I came here and asked for it. As I did in 2018, 2019, 2020 maybe... I have no idea why WMI really needs to ask for something that we are managing independently, but if you want to put her name, go on. last year we discussed to add the local coordinator of WMI in Tuscany, for example (but later I teached him Montage on another campaign).--Alexmar983 (talk) 23:44, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

WLM in Macedonia 2021

Hi, our campaign for WLM in Macedonia finished on 30th of September (starting on 1st of September), so we would like to set-up tool for the jury. You can find our images on category on Commons Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Macedonia. About coordinator, you can set-up my username Ehrlich91. If you need anything else, please contact me. Thank you a lot --Ehrlich91 (talk) 19:25, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, but the Montage Tool is currently not working correctly, due to problems with the Wikimedia cloud services, which also effects tools hosted on Toolforge. I hope there will be a solution shortly, and after that I will take time to create all WLM campaigns requested. Ciell (talk) 17:54, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ehrlich91, here is your campaign: 432-wlm-in-macedonia-2021. Happy judging! Ciell (talk) 17:57, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ciell, I face problem when I need to download results from the rounds, as I receive some non-sense into cyrillic (example: Куќа_на_ул._„Тошо_Арсов“_бр._2_-_Штип_(3).jpg), possibly due some problems. In previous rounds, this was not a case, so could you possibly point me some solution about this, as I cannot review results. Thank you in advance --Ehrlich91 (talk) 09:43, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
@Ehrlich91: I have the same output in Excel, but LibreOffice works. I'll send you the screenshotted results via email. Ciell (talk) 17:59, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

No images imported to Round 1

Error message from Montage when trying to create a round.

Thank you Ciell for setting up our campaign. When trying to set up the first round of the campaign, I'm not getting any images imported. Does it work for the rest of you or is this related to the technichal issues with Montage? I can set up the round with directions and add jury members, but the images in the category are not imported and if I try to edit the round it does not work to add the images either. Any recommendations or should I give it a few hours to see if things get back to normal? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 09:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

I had the same problem this morning in a test campaign. Could you maybe try again Axel Pettersson (WMSE)? There might have been some issues with capacity and memory was increased after I reported this to the Montage devs, for me this solved the problem. Ciell (talk) 09:51, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
By trying again I mean deleting this 'first round', and creating a new one from scratch Ciell (talk) 09:54, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
When I tried again I managed to catch the error message here. I think the problem might be that one of the jurors (user:Ny Björn) has also uploaded images. I'm pretty sure that has worked earlier years though. Is there a way to solve this? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:19, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Tried again and unchecked Disqualify jurors, and than the import worked. Moving on to get the jury going now, but this might need to be solved. Will you (as in MahmoudHashemi, Slaporte, Yarl and YuviPanda) take it from here, or should I create a task at phabricator? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:33, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Axel Pettersson (WMSE), I can see that your campaign is working and judging are working on the first round, so that is good!
I think that if Montage doesn't load the campaign because the box 'Disqualify jurors' is checked and there are indeed images in the category that are uploaded by one of the jurors, this is correct behavior of the tool, but maybe the description could be improved.
Is there different behavior you would expect from the tool when leaving the box checked? Ciell (talk) 21:08, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ciell, up and running to a good start for the jury now. My expectation for what will happen when I leave the Disqualify jurors checkbox checked is as described in the Round settings, that images uploaded from my jurors are disqualified and not the the jury member is disqualified from being part of the jury. A clarification might be in order to make it easier to understand if the jurors are disqualified from participating in the competition or as jurors, but the description under Round settings should be enough I think. On a side note I would like to have the Disqualify coordinators and Disqualify organizers (or Disqualify others) implemented to make it easier to disqualify Haxpett (my volunteer user) and other WMSE staff members without manually checking after round 2. Would that be possible? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 08:54, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (WMPL), I have not encountered categories to be a problem for Montage in any way - I do see the rounds are not set to 'active' yet. Could this be causing the problem? Only when you activate the first round (after making sure that all your settings are correct), all the images get pulled into Montage and the tasks are created. Ciell (talk) 20:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: I can't activate - the round is classified as empty so activation is impossible. I have turned off all discqualification cryteria but it does not help :( Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (WMPL) (talk) 09:47, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes Yerpo: for Montage you would need either a list or a category, see Commons:Montage. If there are only a few dozen photos, it might be even less work if they would go through the images manually, instead of using Montage. Ciell (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sindiept, here is your campaign: 483-wiki-loves-monuments-2021-in-zimbabwe. I did notice however that for WLM Zimbabwe you received less then 100 images, and in that case Montage might be quite time consuming and not worth your and the juries energy. The Montage interface and workflow can take a bit of time to get the hang of, and needs two or three rounds to come to a conclusion.
It might be less work to ask the jury to send you their top ten from the 67 images in the category: you can for instance create a gallery page as a subpage from Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Zimbabwe to have all images in one page for the jury - this is how we used to do things before we had Montage (or at least one of the methods that were used.)

@Ciell Here are the details:
  • Round: 3
  • Deadline: November 25th, 2021
  • Type: Ranking
  • Quorum: 3
  • No disqualifications; Show filename; Show link; Show resolution.
  • Threshold: Score 7.5 or higher on round 2 (petscan for the photos in this case: https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=20677179)
  • Judges: User:EPorto (WMB), User:GiFontenelle, User:Jani Pereira and User:Mike Peel.
Good contributions, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
@EPorto (WMB): It's what I thought: ranking can only be done when you have 50 images or less. So you'll either have to run the third round as another rating round, or pick a very high threshold (9.16/10). Ciell (talk) 16:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: No, I think that's not the problem here. The configuration works fine, because it was showing me 100 images (and the results too). With 127 images, 3 judges per photo, it will give 97 images per judge. The problem is that I can't create a round with those configurations because it appears to have a cache of the first atempt of creating this round :/ Good contributions, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 16:31, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Maybe create another campaign? Good contributions, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 01:48, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell Can you create another campaign for us, please? I think I can manage the round creation if it is not dependent of a previous one. Thank you! Good contributions, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 17:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Loves NYC Parks - Prospect Park 2021

Hi,

Wikimedia NYC's nature photography contest ended on 10/31 and we are currently screening images for problems. I'm hoping to start the judging process next week. I've used Montage several times as a judge, but this will be my first time as an organizer (so thank you for your patience).

Dates: September 18, 2021 04:00 UTC - November 1, 2021 04:00 UTC

Main campaign page is Campaign:ProspectPark, but we will primarily use Category:Wiki Loves NYC Parks - Prospect Park 2021 - eligible for judging purposes. Note that this category is not yet complete (we are still moving files into this category as they are considered eligible).

Landing/event page is en:WP:PROSPECTPARK2021.

I will be the organizer/coordinator.

Thanks! — Rhododendrites talk15:00, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites, here is your campaign: 471-wiki-loves-nyc-parks-prospect-park-2021. The images will not get pulled into Montage until you activate the first round: until then you have the opportunity to add or remove images from the category you will be using for the jury process. You'll notice I have set the end date for the contest on 'today', nov 10th: this is because when a file is altered after the date we give here (cropping, light balance, etc), Montage will consider them to be not eligible. So when setting up the rounds, always consider prolonging this date, see Commons:Montage#Step_1._Check_your_campaign_settings.
Happy judging! Ciell (talk) 10:24, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Thanks. What counts as being "altered" in this context? Just new uploads? What about renaming? There is still some screening to do, and more ambiguous filenames to rename. Should that now wait until the end? — Rhododendrites talk13:12, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
Meant in this context are edits of the photo, so for instance new versions of already existing images. General maintenance of the file pages should not be of influence of images being imported to Montage, but just to be sure always take the 'day of today' when activating the first round.

Technical problems with ranking view

Hi, i have one jury member who has ranked twice the photos in ranking view but failed somehow to save the results. User think that she least tried to save the results and she is technically able person so there is clearly something which needs attention. Either in user interface or actual bug. I will try to check the problem via screen sharing. In case of actual bug I would like to know if there is possibility check from logs what jury member voted in case where result has not been saved so this would not be a blocker? --Zache (talk) 09:49, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Zache,
I don't think we can see this in the logs if the juror could not save the results. Could you please ask her to watch this video to make sure she followed all of the steps for the juror ranking (ranking is shown from 1:12 onwards)? Ciell (talk) 11:03, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
Thank you! Also just to confirm, is it possible to save a round AND then continue later? (in video there were "edit votes") Zache (talk) 11:00, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
Yes, that should be possible. Ciell (talk) 19:47, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Question: custom set for the final round?

In the ongoing Wiki Loves NYC Parks - Prospect Park Nature Photography Contest, We've had a couple rounds of voting, then had a meeting to determine the finalists. I'd now like to take a subset of images to a final ranking round. I'm pretty sure I've seen that happen in other competitions, but I can't see how it's done. To be clear, this subset doesn't correspond to a specific rating/ranking/average score but rather based on off-wiki discussion. Can I load in a csv of files or something? Thanks. — Rhododendrites talk03:22, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites, in a new campaign it will be possible to pull in the images to Montage through a cvs list - this does not work in a already active campaign. If you want to do a ranking round, remember that the ranking round is limited to 50 images.
If you want me to create a new campaign for your final round, just ping me. Ciell (talk) 10:05, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
@Ciell: Yes please. Thanks. :) — Rhododendrites talk13:32, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Also, is it possible to set up "Libya" campaigns before November 16 ? as we need to make a demo video for the jury members before they start their work.
Thank you very much!
Nassima Chahboun (talk) 11:13, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Nassima Chahboun, I created a 'demo' campaign for you for this: 477-whindanger-2021-demo-campaign, and propose you for instance use Category:Whindanger 2021 Ghadames (52 images now) or Category:Whindanger 2021 Leptis Magna (93 images now). They have enough images to show the three different sort of rounds, but not as much to consume a lot of time for you. I would also very much appreciate if you could upload and share your jury instruction on Commons, for other future campaign coordinators and jurors in the Montage tool! I have been lacking time to create such a demo before. Meanwhile, I'll make sure your campaigns are ready to go after the 16th. Thanks! Ciell (talk) 13:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi NANöR, Nassima Chahboun, Nehaoua: your campaigns are ready, I linked them in your table above. You can start preparing the first rounds, but please do not activate it before the competitions have ended (activating the first round is the moment when all images get pulled into Montage - setting rounds up before is okay though!). Happy judging, great to see a photo initiative like this: imho they are extra special, because "There is a deadline." Ciell (talk) 20:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ciell , thank you!

Here is the demo video for jurors, and I will upload another one for coordinators soon. .
Regarding the campaigns, we would like to have a campaign for each category, because each site will be evaluated seperately (3 campaigns instead of one for Afghanistan for instance). Thank you! Nassima Chahboun (talk) 20:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Love the video!! Very well done, so easy!
Let me create the 14 campaigns for you tomorrow, I'll ping you again when they are ready. Ciell (talk) 21:40, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Nassima Chahboun ✓ Done
I am not sure how Montage will handle the categories with just a few images, less then 50, I'd love to hear back from you on this!
As an alternative, you may for instance want to create a gallery page with the images in the smaller categories, and ask your jurors to just send you their top 10 by email.

Well, if you think Montage was behaving badly, it would be useful for me to know what the problem was? So I can either prevent from it happening again, or take this to our developers as a bug, so all people using Montage can benefit from it. Ciell (talk) 18:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
