Thanks Tilman! This is good to know - I think we could still use the blog post as a lead-in for last year as we also share on social some of the progress being made at this year's contest on this link you have shared: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Eurovision_Song_Contest_2015Thank you everyone for your review!On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 12:52 PM, Tilman Bayer <tbayer@wikimedia.org> wrote:Great idea, appreciate it as the person who edited that post last

User:Ailura just wrote on the Austrian chapter's list that she's "been
at the contest for 11 days and [is] at 11,000 photos"

That is to say, I would go with the second suggestion in each case,
not the one that implies only Wikimedia Sverige got access to the
