This is just a personal project as of now and just an example/experimental.
Other Wikipedians can directly upload to Commons or go via the OTRS route as needed. The project & page is just an interface to notable people that I can trying to reach for their photos. If there are sufficient interest and work from other Wikipedians too, we can move this under WikiProject:India in the future. -Tinu Cherian On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 12:19 PM, Pavanaja U B <pavan...@vishvakannada.com>wrote: > Tinu,**** > > ** ** > > Do you want the images to be sent to you only?
