<div>Hi,<br><br>First of all many thanks to our Calcutta brethren for conducting this photo walk and many thanks for uploading the images to Commons. Such events will greatly help our country's herittage buildings, architecture, landmarks etc be preserved.<br>
<br>After trying a quick & dirty look up with the results of your wonderful event, some points come to mind.<br><br>1.<b> NAMING OF IMAGES</b> - . The images with building names included in name are very useful & easily locatable<br>
<br>eg : <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aayakar_Bhawan_-_Kolkata_2011-12-18_0067.JPG">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aayakar_Bhawan_-_Kolkata_2011-12-18_0067.JPG</a><br><br>Images named in the following manner are not at all useful to find the building concerned<br>
<br>eg : File:Wikimedia_Photowalk_-_Kolkata_2011-12-18_(32).JPG<br><br>especially since about 150 of these are so named.<br><br>2. <b>CATEGORISATION</b> - Images need to be categorised otherwise the images cannot be located/used by those who dont know where to look for them.<br>
<br>3. <b>ARTICLE USAGE</b> - Tried to see what has stubs/images on English Wikipedia -<br><br>1. Shahid Minar - No link. [[Shaheed Minar]] of Bangladesh not India<br></div><div>2. Metropolitan Building - [[Metropolitan Building (Minneapolis0]] not Kolkata<br>
</div><div>3. Tipu Sultan Mosque - [[Tipu Sultan Mosque]], image already available<br></div><div>4. Victoria House - no article<br></div><div>5. Statesman House - no article but an image may be added (when located) to [[The_Statesman]]<br>
</div>
<div>6. Aaykar Bhawan - no stub<br></div><div>7. Great Eastern Hotel - can be added to [[Places_of_interest_in_Kolkata#Historic_hotels]]<br></div><div>8. Central Telegraph Office - page for CTO Colombo & London but not for Mumbai & Kolkata<br>
</div><div>9. National Assurance Building - no building<br></div><div>10. Junior Staff Quarters of the Governor</div><div>11. Raj Bhawan - can be added to [[Raj_Bhavan_(West_Bengal)]]<br></div><div>
12. St. John's Church - Meerut & Secunderabad pictured for India only<br></div><div>13. General Post Office - can be added to [[General_Post_Office,_Kolkata]]<br></div><div>14. Kolkata Collectorate - no article<br>
</div><div>15. Writers' Building - [[Writers'_Building]]<br></div><div>16. St. Andrews Chapel - no article<br></div><div><br></div>4. <b>STUB IMPROVEMENT</b> - Many buildings have no stubs. These need to be made. Others need references, geo-code, images, etc.<br>
<br>Hope this feedback is useful in some way.<br><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br><br>Ashwin Baindur<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>
