[Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest

[Bala Jeyaraman]

Eric,

Our experience with the upload wizard has been great. Its extremely useful
and newbie editors are finding it easy to use. There was a slight hitch
with customising it though.  Commons hasnt yet decided the procedure for
giving the "upload campaign editor" rights. Our requests for rights were
denied because there is no community approved procedure for it yet. We had
to take the help of a commons admin for the customisation. Apart from that
the campaign customised wizard is perfect for competitions/scavenger hunts
like ours.
