Wiki Science Competition 2017 è iniziata il 15 novembre in Italia

Ciao, un messaggio da parte di "Wiki Science Competition" Come annunciato torna con cadenza biennale il Concorso Europeo di Fotografia Scientifica. Quest'anno sarà mondiale. Rispetto alla scorsa edizione dell'evento, nel 2017 l'Italia ha una giuria nazionale. Il Concorso italiano si tiene dal 15 novembre al 15 dicembre 2017. Qui tutti i dettagli in italiano. Questo è un messaggio inserito manualmente per i partecipanti dell'edizione 2015 #WSC2017 #WikiScience #WikiScience2017 Wiki Science Competition

Deadline mancata WSC2017 in Italia

Salve, sto riclassificando con cura tutti i file e ho scoperto giorni che i suoi tre file seppur caricati dall'interfaccia italiana, non sono stati inseriti alla fine nel concorso italiano.

Questo è avvenuto perché risultano caricati dopo la mezzanotte del 15. La data sui file se la si guarda è 23:13, 15 December 2017 e 23:14, 15 December 2017. ma questa è un'ora UTC, in Italia la mezzanotte era quindi già passata. Il tool non ha dunque categorizzato in automatico questi file nella categoria italiana e non sono state valutati da noi giudici nazionali. Infatti abbiamo quasi finito il lavoro in Italia, senza considerarle.

In compenso, anche se il suo lavoro ha perso l'opportunità di partecipare all'assegnazione premio italiano, posso confermare che non avrebbero probabilmente vinto se comparo con i finalisti che stiamo selezionando.

Inoltre, provvedo in base alle direttive operative scritte qui (in inglese) a categorizzare le sue foto nella categoria internazionale così che ospita file di paesi senza giuria o categoria nazionale o caricati dopo una deadline nazionale. Il file sul cielo invece è scartato preliminarmente per via di un inquadramento poco scientifico.

La buona notizia è che avranno più chance di diventare finalisti per minore concorrenza, la cattiva è che quella categoria non ha un premio intermedio in palio.--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
