Then you're bound to encounter the same kind of criticism as this year.
Yes, I agree that positive steering is better. We
could have one of the
judging criteria to be uniqueness or value adding, and explain that when
images are similar in other criterias, the ones that bring in new
aspects to
Commons will be regarded higher.
What you want (and what people are saying on these pages) is a Commons
contest, not a photo contest.
Yes, you are right, I do want a Commons contest. If I wanted a photo
contest I would support the Metro challenge (or any arbitrary contest)
instead. I would rather see 10 000 only fairly decent pictures of
previously not documented cultural heritage sites than 10 000 featured
pictures of the well documented ones. If that means we cannot have a jury
of professional photographers, so be it, they are just a mean, not the
purpose.
