Sure, that sounds like a good idea (and not technically ridiculous, if you're willing to wait until mid October - I suspect 1 October people are a bit exhausted still). I am unsure how many images will end up in a subcat of WW1, though. That totally depends on how much time people can invest in categorizing - it is kind of a flood of images :) So if people see it's WW1 related, I'd suggest to just put it in the special cat too.

Hi all,
I've taking a look at the category :Category:WWI related images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 [1] which related the Special Europeana Award of this year. Now is being filled by basically by volunteers.
My proposal is: regarding the fact that monuments have a ID and most of them are categorized, is it doable to run a bot a the end on the contest that does:
"if a photo is both at WLM2013 category and in one (sub)category of WW1, add it to WWI related images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2013"'
what do you think? Am I saying nonsense or is it doable? This way we could take a big % of ww1 related images
Best,
Àlex
