September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again!

Hi

You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in the UK. We'd be delighted if you would do so again this year and help record our local built environment for future generations.

You can find more details at the Wiki Loves Monuments UK website. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

Many thanks for your help once more! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Clach Stei Lin stone circle

Hi Richard, I've just rolled back your addition of images to this category - they were originally included there when I first uploaded them, but I discovered recently I'd got the site identity wrong & they're of Steinacleit. At the moment I don't think we have any images which are actually of Clach Stei Lin. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

@Andrew Gray: Thanks for letting me know! Looking at a map, it's easy to see how the two ended up confused. Richard Nevell (talk) 09:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 è iniziato: partecipa anche tu!

Buongiorno Richard Nevell,

ricevi questo messaggio perché in passato hai partecipato a Wiki Loves Monuments Italia o Wiki Loves Earth Italia.

Anche quest’anno torna Wiki Loves Monuments: da oggi al 30 settembre puoi partecipare caricando le tue foto per contribuire a illustrare il patrimonio culturale italiano: vai sul sito wikilovesmonuments.it e scopri come fare!

Oltre ai 20.000 monumenti già in concorso, quest’anno si aggiungono più di 60.000 edifici religiosi, tema centrale di quest’edizione. Prendi la tua macchina fotografica, o il tuo smartphone, e individua i monumenti in concorso tramite la nuova web-app – disponibile sia da mobile che desktop – app.wikilovesmonuments.it, da cui potrai anche caricare direttamente i tuoi scatti. Sono ammesse anche foto scattate prima del concorso, purché siano inedite.

A livello nazionale verranno premiate le dieci migliori fotografie: cinque per gli edifici religiosi e cinque per le altre categorie di monumenti; queste immagini parteciperanno anche alla fase internazionale del concorso. Non sono ammesse immagini con watermark o cornici, né fotografie eccessivamente elaborate in postproduzione. Qui puoi consultare Il regolamento completo e per qualsiasi dubbio puoi scrivere a contatti@wikilovesmonuments.it.

In bocca al lupo e buon divertimento! --Ysogo(talk) 05:0, 1 September 2023 (UTC) (Questo messaggio è stato inviato tramite il sistema Global message delivery)

Are you leading on wiki loves monuments for the UK this year?

Hi Richard

Are you leading on Wiki loves monuments this year? If so- we have an issue with country codes and the templates, which I think we had last year too. Anything from monumental is giving an country code error. see here.

If you are not doing this this year do you know who is?
