I have finished editing an additional 50 photos, meaning I have now completed doing perspective corrections on 500 photos of NHCP #HistoricalMarkers of the #Philippines 🇵🇭! 🎉

You can browse through all 500 in #WikimediaCommons: https://w.wiki/H$RC

And if you’re curious how I am doing this, a slightly outdated process is on my blog: https://vaes9.com/posts/perspective_correction

In #Wikimedia land, I created my first #Lua module in #WikimediaCommons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:NHCP_marker_depicts_inscription

This module does all the heavy lifting for enhancing file pages of photos of #HistoricalMarkers of the #Philippines 🇵🇭 with #Wikidata items. It provides a way to point to the Wikidata item about the marker and to show the actual text inscribed in the marker. This is all done by just adding the {{NHCP marker depicts inscription}} template. 🧵 1/3

It took me longer than expected but I have finished editing an additional 50 photos meaning I have now completed doing perspective corrections on 450 photos of NHCP #HistoricalMarkers of the #Philippines 🇵🇭! 🎉 I hope to complete 500 by the end of 2025.

I rarely leave my neighborhood these days, so when the opportunity came last weekend to visit a town about 80 km from my home, I took a little detour to visit and take photos of the town’s only national historical marker.

(Those who have been following me long enough know that documenting historical markers in #Wikidata and #WikimediaCommons is one of my niche interests.)
