Talk:Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 winners

Honorable mentions

I'm wondering why the honorable mentions were only announced on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and not also announced on the WLM blog and/or Commons. It's really great to get the word out to a wider audience but, in my opinion, we should also make sure that we keep fuller records of WM activities within the wikiverse itself.

As social media platforms are arguably transient (and certainly not as open as Commons) it would be good to have the honorable mentions captured as part of the international contest results in a way that's easy to access in WLM natural environment, so to speak. I'd gladly contribute to this (on Commons) if others agree or the WLM international organizers don't have the capacity to handle this without input from the community. --ToniSant (talk) 10:06, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

We have long been debating internally how much visibility to give to runners-up. The official prizes are for place 1-15. In the past, we have decided to include 16-25 as well for the social media and sometimes jury report, because it broadens the set of countries that get a share of the joy. We typically reserved the 'official' places for the official winners (1-15). But, this is arguably just a judgement call, and I could totally imagine this falling in another direction in the future.
