There is a huge backlog of images ever since these photo-thons began
in 2009 or thereabouts.

Imho we DONT need generic Wiki Loves Moinuments any more. What we need
is that people categorise the photos, add mteadata & use them in
Wikipedia articles.

This is the unglamorous part but just adding ten thousand images to
Commons ultimately is of little benefit unless some one categorises
describes & uses them in an article.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Loves Monuments India 2015

2015-07-13 Thread Karthik Nadar
Dear all,

We are somewhere in mids of July and have lead WLM India in past, me and
Kiran (marked in cc) decided to take it forward again this time after a
break.

Obvious, that we can not lead it every time and it will need fresh help to
take it forward, we would need assistance from some more willing hands. If
anyone would like to assist, feel free to send about you either to me or
Kiran (marked in cc) with your short profile.

Help required will be like about at least 5 hours a week and till November;
while the contest will be held in September. Feel free to drop us mail if
you would be able to spare so much time.

We do have a mailing list; thus further discussions will be held there thus
not to disturb the wide India list.

Regards,
Karthik Nadar
