They’ll go on their bikes anyway – gamify their rides and get Commons photos!
During Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 in Moldova, a novel idea came about: “What if we send people on their bicycles to discover and take photos of cultural heritage sites by themselves?”. Gamified activities, inspired by the “quest” format, can be tweaked in a million of ways (how flexible, how competitive, etc.), and can in the end provide Commons illustrations of underrepresented landmarks.
