1
00:00:02,740 --> 00:00:05,420
I love to take photos so that others

2
00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:07,160
can see what places are like

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,329
that they will 

4
00:00:08,329 --> 00:00:09,600
possibly never get the chance to visit. 

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,849
I want to get involved in the photography of monuments

6
00:00:10,849 --> 00:00:13,579
because in Heidelberg I am surrounded

7
00:00:13,579 --> 00:00:15,739
by history and by historic

8
00:00:15,739 --> 00:00:16,740
buildings. 

9
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:18,370
I take pictures to

10
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:21,259
capture the moment and share it

11
00:00:21,259 --> 00:00:23,480
with others on Wikipedia.

12
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,919
I can contribute to Wikipedia

13
00:00:24,919 --> 00:00:26,779
by adding a picture to an article

14
00:00:26,779 --> 00:00:28,429
where there wasn't one before.

15
00:00:31,180 --> 00:00:32,860
Wiki Loves Monuments is the biggest

16
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:34,750
photo competition in the world! 

17
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:36,580
400,000 photos are added every year,

18
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:38,650
making it the Guinness record.

19
00:00:38,650 --> 00:00:40,570
It's about taking photographs of cultural monuments,

20
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:42,070
in Germany and all over Europe,

21
00:00:42,070 --> 00:00:43,290
ideally of all of them,

22
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:45,430
ideally not just once and to

23
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:47,860
upload good quality pictures to Wikipedia

24
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:49,480
to give people an idea

25
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:50,320
of the monument.

26
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,970
This year Wiki Loves Monuments

27
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:54,160
is part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. 

28
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,320
That means that there will be a special prize

29
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,730
for which you are encouraged to focus on monuments,

30
00:00:57,730 --> 00:01:00,189
that represent Europe for you.

31
00:01:04,649 --> 00:01:07,479
Photos of monuments are essential. 

32
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:09,310
I believe monuments shape our culture

33
00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:11,530
and our understanding of ourselves,

34
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:14,530
the identity of a country,

35
00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:17,290
of Europe, of the world.

36
00:01:17,290 --> 00:01:18,640
I think it is important to preserve things like these

37
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,729
for the future.

38
00:01:20,729 --> 00:01:21,729
Wiki Loves Monuments like almost everything

39
00:01:21,729 --> 00:01:23,410
on Wikipedia is 

40
00:01:23,410 --> 00:01:25,810
organized by volunteers.

41
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:27,490
Usually they are people that have once

42
00:01:27,490 --> 00:01:29,140
participated – just like me 

00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:31,080
and then want to contribute further.

44
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,460
360-degree-photography is an exciting

45
00:01:36,460 --> 00:01:37,900
field, which has grown in importance

46
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,790
over the last years.

47
00:01:39,790 --> 00:01:41,440
We as Wikipedia volunteers have also

48
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:41,980
made it part of our work.

49
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:42,910
That means that there is now

50
00:01:42,910 --> 00:01:44,970
the possibility to feature

51
00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:47,200
360-degree-photos in Wikipedia articles.

52
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,390
Everybody can participate and it's really easy!

53
00:01:49,390 --> 00:01:51,430
All photos that are uploaded in September

54
00:01:51,430 --> 00:01:53,860
are automatically entered into the competition. 

55
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:55,660
They then of course are 

56
00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:57,160
available to all of the internet and to 

57
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
make Wikipedia more colourful and of course you can 

58
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,330
win something as well!

59
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:01,330
Wiki Loves Monuments is a 

60
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:03,040
competition directed not just

61
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,020
at experts but at everybody who can

62
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:06,640
hold a camera and 

63
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,470
has an interest in cultural monuments. So:

64
00:02:08,470 --> 00:02:09,699
