Re: Wikipedia Invades La Plata Natural History Museum

I think this is a good idea too.

You can make a pretty template for the images produced that both
briefly explains the project and that also includes the
Category:Wikipedia_Invades_La Plata_Natural_History_Museum.  I can
help you with this if you'd like.

This event documentation category would be added -in addition- to the
encyclopedically-oriented Category:Museo_de_La_Plata.  Possibly in the
future, with a growing archive of items in the museum's collection,
you will even find the need for more specific topical categories, like
Category:Dinosaurs_at_Museo_de_La_Plata.

Thanks,
Pharos

Sorry I didn't write any update since the "invasion". It was a great
experience, with many new volunteers, some of them professional
photographers. Many pictures have been already uploaded to Commons,
under the category "Wikipedia invade el Museo de La Plata", but there
are more to come. As you may see, there are photos of different
quality, but many of them are really great. See for example,
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diplodocus_Carnegii.jpg

After this activity, we received many invitations from other museums,
and people from the provinces are organizing their own hunts.

Re: Wikipedia Invades La Plata Natural History Museum

It's nice to see initatives like this spring up all over the world!

Next month Wikimedia Nederland (together with Creative Commons NL)
will organize a month-long 'wiki loves art' project in which 15
museums participate.

Hooray for Patricio and Wikimedia AR!

Looks like everything went brilliantly, and that you had a very
productive 'invasion'.  Like Hay, I am very happy to see this
cross-fertilization of ideas, and I very much look forward to future
updates from everyone.

Thanks,
Pharos
