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) Mvg, Bas

There is one thing which we did not emphasize last year (or at least I have not seen it emphasized): that many of the picture they upload actually very quickly end up in lists and some of them end up in articles. I think many of the uploades do not realize how to look up where the images are used, and it is extremely motivating if you upload an image of a monument in Portugal and it ends up being used on Finnish Wikipedia. I think this year we should pay attention to this (mey be even think for an image used in most articles globally - but here we run a danger of users replacing other images with their image, which is not what we want to stimulate).
Cheers Yaroslav
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"> _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu
