Wiki Loves Earth 2022 in Tanzania results ?

Hi !

Thank you for these Wiki Loves Earth events every year, I think they really bring a lot to the project.

I am however still waiting for the results of Wiki Loves Earth 2022 in Tanzania since almost two years. I tried to contact directly the organizers of the 2022 edition and received no answer. So I was a bit surprised that the 2024 edition was announced for Tanzania will still not having the 2022 results. I tried contacting the 2024 team to know when the results of 2022 would be published but also received no answer.

I still have some pictures that I could upload for the 2024 edition but I am a bit scared that they turn out abandoned like in 2022...

Also could it be possible to qualify the 2022 winners to the 2024 edition since they had no chance to run for the international round of the WLE contest ?

Thank you in advance for your answers !

Warmest regards,

Wiki Loves Earth in The rest of the World ?

Hi again !

I just wanted to share an idea that I had this morning and that I think could greatly benefit the project if it could be implemented.

I have many pictures that would be eligible to WLE but that unfortunately where taken in countries that do not participate to WLE since a long time or never participated (India, France, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Bahamas, Iceland, Greenland, etc.).

And I am sure that many other people are also hoping that WLE would be available as well in other countries.

In the Wiki Science Competition 2023, they had this brilliant idea to have many national organizers and one "The rest of the World" organizer.

This basically permits to have pictures from all around the world participating in WSC and also saves pictures that were uploaded in a national organizer that finally was removed as they could be transferred to the rest of the world part.

If the same principle would be applied to Wiki Loves Earth, having a Wiki Loves Earth in the rest of the World, that would allow to gather so much more useful and beautiful pictures from all around the world that would greatly benefit the wiki project. This would bring more diversity to the contest and allow to highlight nature/wildlife from less usual places.

As you already know, many people joined wiki/commons thanks to WLE (myself included). Also, many pictures uploaded to WLE end up used in Wikipedia. Stats of users that registered after the start of the competition available here as well as percentage of images used in the wikis.

So I really hope that this could eventually be implemented one day.

Thank you for reading this and wishing you a beautiful sunday.
