just to be 100% clear: these cases you describe will not be handled by bot. The bot will only handle cases where a correct identifier is given, and matched to the database. This is something you will have to do semi-manually.

Hello Taweetham, 

Most of the answers below are advises, there are no strict rules on this I believe from the international contest.

What you describe is in some countries a pretty common issue (with up to 50% without ID's) in other countries it's very minor (with below 1%).

1. Please inform them asap, new users tend to not stay at Wikipedia that long (if you wait a day they might never look back to their account). Also give them some more information (like where to find the lists). You could also decide to correct the ID yourself (I'd advise that because it just means more value of the information and more images in your lists). There will be no bot informing users of this.

2. If they are not eligible just remove them like you've described below so remove {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2013|th}}[[Category:Cultural heritage monuments
> in Thailand]] and add something new (Butterflies for example)

Greets, 

Bas
