We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026.

Monuments 52 countries and areas participated in Wiki Loves Monuments. Large parts on the map are coloured red, but also large parts are white. The world has 195 international recognized independent states, but has also many dependent territories. Only less than a quarter of these countries and territories participated in Wiki Loves Monuments. * The largest area that isn't covered is '''Africa'''. In a few countries Wiki Loves Monuments has been organized, but in most of them we have do not have any lists of cultural monuments on Wikipedia and no participation in the contest. Only in 7 of the 54 independent states Wiki Loves Monuments has been organized and we miss much of the African cultural heritage. * With the 2013 edition the first '''Arab states''' discovered Wiki Loves Monuments and made their first steps in the contest. Only in 5 of the 22 states of that region Wiki Loves Monuments has been organized. But the interest in the contest is growing in the Arab world thanks to the first pioneers in 2013 who bridged the cultural gap. * In 2013 the area of the '''Caucasus''' two of three countries started with Wiki Loves Monuments, including the area of Nagorno-Karabakh. Only Georgia did not participate. * In '''Central Asia''' there is no participation at all and we do little know about their cultural heritage. * In other parts of '''Asia''' the participation is fragile. Several countries indicated the wish to participate, but only a part of them were ready to do so. Especially the countries of southeast Asia are missing, while they do have a rich cultural history which deserves more attention. * In '''Oceania''' none of the 14 countries and 13 territories participated (besides Hawaii as part of the United States contest). The whole cultural heritage of the island nations are missing. * Besides the three largest countries, almost all the countries of '''North America''' (including the Caribbean region) are missing with their cultural heritage. From the 23 countries and more than 14 dependencies and other territories in North America, only 6 participated: Aruba, Canada, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama and the United States. The rich cultural heritage of this area asks to be mapped. * In '''South America''' the participation began in 2012 with 3 countries and grew in 2013 to 6 participating countries out of the 12 countries and 3 dependencies on the continent. We also explored in 2013 Antarctica and the Falkland Islands. What do we know about the cultural heritage of Brazil and French Guiana? * In '''Europe''' most countries have participated in Wiki Loves Monuments. The most empty part of this continent is in the southeastern part with the Balkans, Cyprus and Turkey. Other countries that are missing are Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland and most of the small states: Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City and Malta. Another point of attention are the areas of Greenland, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, the Faroe Islands and the Åland Islands. * Around the world are a lot of '''other islands and dependencies''' with a small cultural heritage we have almost no knowledge of. In the first four editions of Wiki Loves Monuments we focussed on the participation of those countries who were able to organize a local contest with lists of monuments, a jury and prizes. In all those countries all the volunteers did a great job and did a lot of work to make this event happen. But I think our responsibility goes beyond only the area where we live. The Wikimedia movement should focus in the coming years on all those other countries around the world to enable them to participate in one of the most simple way of participation (with uploading pictures). We should reach out to those who have more difficulties in participating and making it easier for them to join the world's movement of expansion of free knowledge. === What's next? === The judges of each country have until the end of the month October the time to select the 10 winning photos. In most countries a prize giving ceremony will be held where the winners get their prizes. In November the international jury will select out of those 520 photos the best 10 photos of Wiki Loves Monuments 2013. As the 2013 contest broke the record of the 2012 edition in number of photos, the international team will submit the new record to the [[:en:Guinness World Records|Guinness Book of Records]]. In the rest of the year we work on writing articles about these monuments and translating existing lists of monuments to especially Spanish and/or English to enable the rest of the world to learn about these hidden heritage. Also we need to create new lists of monuments for other countries to get a better view on the world's heritage. Already several users/teams indicated their interest to participate in a next edition of Wiki Loves Monuments. Users can already start with preparing Wiki Loves Monuments by searching for lists of monuments in undiscovered countries and/or contacting the local institutions who are responsible for keeping a list of their cultural heritage. The users from already participating countries can help the Global South otherwise only half the world is covered. The Wikimedia movement should actively support projects like Wiki Loves Monuments in participating, so that the world's cultural heritage ''fully'' gets covered and participation is enhanced. === More information === * [[:en:Wiki Loves Monuments|Article about Wiki Loves Monuments]] in the English Wikipedia and other languages * [http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org Website of the contest] * [[Commons:Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2013|Category with all the uploaded images of Wiki Loves Monuments 2013]] * [[Commons:Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2013|Portal page on Commons]] '''About Global South''' * [[:en:North–South divide|North–South divide]] - article on Wikipedia * [[meta:Global South|Global South]] at Meta * [[wm2013:Submissions/WMF's New Global South Strategy|WMF's New Global South Strategy]] at Wikimania 2013 <br /> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=September 2013|July 2013|July 2015}}</noinclude> namfhm35y2x4n1fl4w0qn9zu572rsp9 Translations:Main Page/Page display title/de-ch 1198 68957 276964 276791 2026-06-14T14:59:27Z Koavf 485 Reverted edit by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34438-28|~2026-34438-28]] ([[User talk:~2026-34438-28|talk]]) to last revision by [[User:Steinsplitter|Steinsplitter]] 264860 wikitext text/x-wiki Hauptseite 3h3wulhkyr4ncl0cqjxkf173m4gw8t5 Main Page/de-ch 0 68958 276966 276797 2026-06-14T14:59:55Z Koavf 485 Reverted edit by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34438-28|~2026-34438-28]] ([[User talk:~2026-34438-28|talk]]) to last revision by [[User:Steinsplitter|Steinsplitter]] 276966 wikitext text/x-wiki <div style="background-color: whiteSmoke; padding: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 6px; border-bottom-right-radius: 6px; border-top-left-radius: 6px; border-top-right-radius: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">[[File:¿Qué_es_Wikipedia%3F.ogv|thumb|300px|right|"Was ist Wikipedia?" - Video auf Spanisch mit Untertiteln in mehreren Sprachen.]] <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #404040; font-size:60px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Outreach. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; color: gray; font-size:25px;">Der Wikimedia Weg.</span><br /> <div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; color: #404040; font-size:18px; line-height: 1.3;"> Dieses Wiki dient als Plattform für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und zahlreiche Initiativen zur Zusammenarbeit von Wikimedia-Community und externen Einrichtungen.
