Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-WB] Kolkata Photo Walk (Esplanade Dalhousie)
Thanks for bringing this up Ashwin (and for the detailed feedback). If the images are not named properly, people will not be able to recognise them, which makes the whole exercise useless. Can I suggest, now that the images have been uploaded such, the uploaders update the image summary with details of each image, so that people outside Kolkata can identify images and use them where required.

Such events will greatly help our country's herittage buildings, architecture, landmarks etc be preserved. After trying a quick dirty look up with the results of your wonderful event, some points come to mind. 1. NAMING OF IMAGES - . The images with building names included in name are very useful easily locatable eg : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aayakar_Bhawan_-_Kolkata_2011-12-18_0067.JPG Images named in the following manner are not at all useful to find the building concerned eg : File:Wikimedia_Photowalk_-_Kolkata_2011-12-18_(32).JPG especially since about 150 of these are so named. 2. CATEGORISATION - Images need to be categorised otherwise the images cannot be located/used by those who dont know where to look for them. 3. ARTICLE USAGE - Tried to see what has stubs/images on English Wikipedia - 1. Shahid Minar - No link. [[Shaheed Minar]] of Bangladesh not India 2. Metropolitan Building - [[Metropolitan Building (Minneapolis0]] not Kolkata 3. Tipu Sultan Mosque - [[Tipu Sultan Mosque]], image already available 4. Victoria House - no article 5. Statesman House - no article but an image may be added (when located) to [[The_Statesman]] 6. Aaykar Bhawan - no stub 7. Great Eastern Hotel - can be added to [[Places_of_interest_in_Kolkata#Historic_hotels]] 8. Central Telegraph Office - page for CTO Colombo London but not for Mumbai Kolkata 9. National Assurance Building - no building 10. Junior Staff Quarters of the Governor11. Raj Bhawan - can be added to [[Raj_Bhavan_(West_Bengal)]] 12. St. John's Church - Meerut Secunderabad pictured for India only 13. General Post Office - can be added to [[General_Post_Office,_Kolkata]] 14. Kolkata Collectorate - no article 15. Writers' Building - [[Writers'_Building]] 16. St. Andrews Chapel - no article 4. STUB IMPROVEMENT - Many buildings have no stubs. These need to be made. Others need references, geo-code, images, etc. Hope this feedback is useful in some way.

Just went through the pictures. There are so many wonderful images from the firewood seller to the sugar cane juice machine to the road-side shave to the wonderful stained glass inside of St John to Kolkata's delightfully quaint trams!
