Someone asked us if photos already on flickr are eligible for participating in the contest (providing they are correctly marked and licensed during the contest). I wanted to know your take on that. I believe that we should allow these pictures as, they will be uploaded to Commons during September by a bot, but Nicu believes we should ask for the pictures to be uploaded during the contest.
My reading of the "Uploaded in September" rule is the pictures have to be uploaded to Commons, flickr, and whatever other place is used for submission during September.
It may be accepted, as a compromise, if the picture was uploaded previously to another place and the author uploads it manually to Commons during September.
But English is not my first language, so my reading may not be accurate.
