Support the Wikiloot crowdsourced illicit antiquities database proposals
The author of the Wikiloot proposal, has pointed out that the proposal will in part be assessed based on the amount of support people show for it on the submission page for the Knight News Challenge. There are 1000 other entries, so make sure you like or comment on the proposal at the Knight News Challenge page, to increase its chance of being given serious consideration.
You can read my original post about Wikiloot here.
The page from Knight News Challenge, to comment on the plan is here.
