For this point you might consider to add a sort of did
you know that
you can see on a pictures page where it is used? to a sort of thank
you message. Another thing could simply be a list of pictures used a
lot (and other similar lists) to motivate people (smaller things
without prices just lists of those)
Maybe we could have one of the bots leave a
thank you message when one
of the images is used (you could make that a bit higher if that becomes
to spammy). A user should only get the message once and should have a
link to a tool to show the usage of images uploaded by a certain user.
Do we already have such a tool? I think this would be a great motivator,
not only for Wiki Loves Monuments but for Commons as a whole.

It's also a bit hard to quantify the number of images in articles, as
many monument lists appear in the NS 0, inflating the usage count.
It would indeed be cool if a few hours after uploading an image, the
uploader would get an email saying "Thanks for your photo, it now
appears in Chinese Wikipedia"
