Wikipedia Launches US-Edition of its Historical Sites Photo Contest
Wikipedia has announced the United States edition of its international photographic competition that invites its community to document and preserve historic sites around the world called Wiki Loves Monuments.
The 2021 competition for the United States is live right now through the end of October where participants are invited to capture any protected historic site that is recognized by a governmental body or other organization like a local or national historical society. For the United States, interested parties can use the National Register of Historic Places as a good starting point to find applicable locations. This list contains the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are deemed "worthy of preservation for their historical significance." The competition will also accept locations and sites that are recognized by tribal, state, and local governments.
Photographers who enter the competition will not only be helping to document and preserve the world around them but will also be competing for a chance to win one of ten cash prizes from the organization. The prizes range from $500 for first place, $350 for second place, $200 for third place, and $50 for the fourth to tenth place winners. Each winning entry will also get a certificate and be submitted to the international competition for additional chances at prizes and notoriety.
"WLM is for everyone! If you ever wondered how to start giving back to the wealth of knowledge on Wikipedia that all of us use on a daily basis, this is a great way to start. Everybody can join the competition by submitting a photograph of a nationally registered monument on Wikimedia Commons, following the instructions for each country," the organization writes. "You can participate in as many national competitions as you wish. The national and international winning entries in WLM normally enjoy exposure by making national and international headlines."
Wikipedia also wants to remind competitors if they are going out to photograph these locations, to be sure to take necessary health precautions and follow the guidance of national and local officials regarding Covid-19, as well as any local laws for access to the areas.
Photos entered into the competition must be captured by the person making the entry, contain no digital manipulations to "deceive the viewer" such as sky replacements or compositing, and the photographers must release the photos under a free license that allows for re-use of the image under the CC BY-SA License.
Judging for the competition will take place at the end of October through November of 2021 by a national jury with backgrounds in art, photography, and history. The winners being announced shortly after the judging ends in November.

In no particular order, web sites like OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Archive.Org, Sci-Hub, tools like I2P, Tor, IRC, GPG, OMEMO, OTR, and open and federated protocols like Jabber, Email, Diaspora and ActivityPub are the most important projects on the internet and should be protected and exalted.

Le cofondateur de Wikipédia avoue lui-même ne plus avoir confiance en l'encyclopédie en ligne
En clair : le contenu de #wikipédia est-il orienté par des pratiques militantes ?

Diaspora Post Curation?
Does anyone have procedures or suggestions on doing this?
Back at Ello I created a post that I would edit to add notable posts to it as a sort of "profile index". It didn't contain everything I'd written, but did include many of the highlights. (I started another page as a "Wiki", though that's not nearly as developed.) Both pages are otherwise simply normal post pages on the site. That approach fails on Diaspora as posts cannot be re-edited. I'd thought of starting a thread and adding items onto that but ... the approach doesn't particularly appeal.
The one exception is the profile page, which can be re-edited, and over the past couple of hours I've been going through my 2021 and 2020 posts to grab highlights and add those there, hoping to dig further into my unsavory past for more with time. It looks horrible in the wide-screen view where the bio gets compressed into a skinny column, but on a desktop system if you make your browser window narrow enough, that spreads out over the top of the screen which is ... tolerable. Mobile users probably haet haet haet me (with good cause) but the tablet view is also ... bearable.
@Ferdi Zebua is the one person I know who's attempted anything remotely similar in terms of post organisation, though on Ello only so far as I'm aware.
On Mastodon, I use the pinned toots to create something of an extended bio (though I've not maintained that rigorously either).
The other (and more tractable) option is to create an archive elsewhere (still working on that). A Reddit post or Wiki page would do in a pinch, in a bit of cross-system abuse. At least the Markdown is accessible for transfer elsewhere.
For those wondering why: I reference my own writing frequently enough that having some tractable way of referencing it online is useful. For systems lacking search (as with Diaspora), that means curating links.
If there are any other Diaspora / organisational nuts who've tried something similar I'd be open to methods.

PlexodusWiki: Risks and Threat Models
First draft of an article, intent is to consider the issues, risks, and mitigations in various potential online service offerings.
- Self-hosted.
- Community- or volunteer-hosted, and hosting.
- Commercial sites and services.
Both user and host / adminstrator perspectives should be addressed (they are not yet filled out).
Additional resources should be recommended.
I am looking for specific guidance on risks of self-hosting, p2p hosting, and federated hosting situations, a fairly new development and a rapidly changing landscape.

The Google+ Exodus has a Wiki
Introducing Google+ Mass Migration / New Beginnings Wiki. A/K/A the PlexodusWiki
This wiki serves the population of present and former Google+ users seeking to continue their community across future platform(s).
Our goal is to gather and consolidate information:
- Facilitating individual and group migrations.
- In one place.
- That can be collaboratively edited.
- Out-of-band of G+ itself, or any one other destination platform
- About alternatives, risks, concerns, opportunities, hopes, fears.
Main Sections
For the moment:
- Goals: The intent of the migration.
- Social Platforms: Sites, systems, networks, and protocols supporting various user-generated media. Overview page.
- Platform Types: An ontology of user-generated media platforms with some examples.
- Features and Capabilities: What ought be provided by solutions.
- Platforms and Sites: Specific platforms and sites under consideration, with comparisions and issues.
- Protocols and Networks: The technical conventions for exchanging and presenting content and messages.
- Opportunities: Options the exodus creates.
- Risks and Threat Models: A discussion of Dark and Scary.
- Resources and References: Information elsewhere, research, experiences, news items, etc.
- Directories and Forwarding Information: Collections of and instructions for re-connecting After the Exodus.
- Recommended Practices: Things you should be doing / looking for.
- Established G+ Diaspora Communities: Where to find Old Friends (and make new ones).
This is a collaborative tool.
Don't ask. Do.
Remember, be bold.
Don't mistake existing content or structure for correctness. We're also being bold. If something strikes you as wrong or unclear, try to improve it.
This is very bare-bones at present, but there's been a lot of discussion and we've got a lot of folks around, let's flesh this out and make it useful.
I've been spreading the word at G+ and on Diaspora.
Thank you.
Thank you to...
@Christian Buggedei for setting this up. It's really wonderful to ask and find things done.
@Thom Thomas and @mathew for pitching in already with edits.
