Spørgsmål om Wiki elsker Afrika projektet

Hvad er Wiki elsker Afrika?

Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) is a public annual contest where people across Africa can contribute media (photographs, video and audio) about their environment on Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other project websites of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Wiki Loves Africa particularly encourages participants to contribute media that illustrate a specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and could include any such universal, visually rich and culturally specific topics (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).
The theme for the 2014 photo contest will be Wiki Loves Africa Cuisine. This year's contest will seek to document in the form of various media, the diverse types of cuisines across the continent of Africa. The theme will encompass the "foods", "dishes", "crops", "husbandry", "culinary art", "cooking methods", "utensils", "food markets", "festivals", "culinary events", "famine food" and any other issues related to cuisine on the African continent.
The project is a two-month competition which will start on the 1st October and end on the 30th November 2014.
The project will be run at the entire continental level. However, some specific actions (training, communication etc.) will be held in some countries with national organisers. The project will feature a contest to select the best media at the continental level, with a ceremony and prizes as deemed appropriate.

What software will be used to upload pictures ?

We will be using the UploadWizard simplified by a special Wiki Loves Africa overlay (see UploadCampaign).
Pictures can be uploaded using other tools (e.g. Commonist, but as this requires further knowledge of wiki markup and Wikimedia Commons itself.

How should I tag the images ?

All images uploaded via the upload wizard will be put in the Category:Images from Wiki Loves Africa 2014. If you do not use the upload wizard, please add the template {{Wiki Loves Africa 2014}} to the tags so that we can identify the image as part of the contest.
