Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Hi Jayantilal, Thanks for your mail and for your concern. First of all, I am not over-confident. I know about my own limitations very well. But, also I have complete trust in the organizing team, in which I am also part of. The team is working very hard to get every job done within schedule. Plu

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Greetings Jayantilal, It is good that Shrini is taking suggestions, and as far as I can see, Bodhi's comment is also a suggestion on what he thinks, but no pushing. Everybody has a "first time" to do things. However, I am sure that Bodhi, along with other Wikimedians, has enough experience and exp

Thanks Srinivasan for sharing these pictures. Search for some library reference and you will be able to give name and description to the pictures. It is good that Bodhisattva is confident but don't get over-confident also in anyway. Even uploader is taking suggestions here. If you don't mind Bodhis

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

I have processed around 350 photos and added to a flickr album https://www.flickr.com/photos/tshrinivasan/albums/72157699459704301 Will add remaining on around 10-15 days. Hope we can move to commons from flickr. There may be few duplicates. Will do more filtering before sending to commons. Sh

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

I think the pictures wont be repetitive as Shrinivasan mentioned he took pictures of all the small statues and designs. So this looks like a real detailed documentation of the temple. Hats off to Shrinivasan. On Wed, Sep 5, 2018 at 5:14 PM Abhinav srivastava wrote: > I mean the pictures are not

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Terrific job Shrinivasan! Kudos to you. As you have mentioned that you have taken photos of all the small statues and designs, I think it will be a valuable asset for Commons and other projects. I would suggest you to upload as part of WLM and also keep them in a separate additional category of th

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Hello Shrini, Thanks for positive reply. Glad you considered our suggestion. And good luck with the competition. @Bodhisattwa - It’s good that you’ll be able to manage. Even we have managed it in the previous WLMs, the concern was effective use of resources. You’ve 1 month for the competition, 1

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Thanks all for the great comments. I shoot those pics few months ago. Filtering and improving them itself a huge task and demanding more time and effort. I was postponing that task due to various reasons. WLM announcement gave me some encouragement to work on this. Thats why asked this question

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Dear Shrini, Greetings. I still remember your earlier contributions for WLM. They were fantastic. Great that you had enough time to click every statue and really I'm sync with Subha for a barnstar. Regarding uploading them for WLM, i see WLM more as a competition among Wikimedians rather than se

I mean the pictures are not repetitive with a very minute angle difference. I cannot comment precisely here without having a look at the images. It was a generic suggestions. Thanks for acknowledging. On Wed 5 Sep, 2018, 9:33 PM Bodhisattwa Mandal, wrote: > Hi Abhinav and Kiran, > > I hope w

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Hi Abhinav and Kiran, I hope we can manage this year. Also Abhinav, of course it adds value. I come from a community which has been working for documentary photography of heritage for a long time and we understand the value of such photographs a lot. Thanks for the concern though, Bodhisattwa

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

I completely agree with Kiran. I have been sorting images in the previous two WLM. It is not only tedious it does not add much value. On Wed 5 Sep, 2018, 8:43 PM Kiran Ravikumar, wrote: > Hi Shrinivasan & Bodhisattwa, > > The idea of uploading the images to Commons is good, but for WLM it’ll be

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Hi Shrinivasan & Bodhisattwa, The idea of uploading the images to Commons is good, but for WLM it’ll be bad. As a previous co-organiser of the event and being part of judging team, I won’t suggest this. It becomes tedious for the first round of filtering. Going through the same set of images ~700

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

Hi Shrini, This is awesome. It is completely okay to upload them to Commons for WLM. You can add the coordinate of the temple by adding this template - {{Object location|12.84230695|79.68967944}}. The coordinate has been retrieved from ISRO website

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Uploading 700 photos of a single temple to commons

700 pictures! Wow. You deserve a million barnstars, Shrini. I'd say go for it as long as the pictures are not repetitive. Sometimes it is important to have multiple angles of the same object though. Just curious if you're planning to geo-code some of the as well. But, otherwise, I think so many pic
