Here are the two examples we ran into in Iran's contest this year:
- We had two questions early on about the unlisted monuments and whether
people can upload photos for those. The two examples that I heard were the Caspian Sea (which resonates with the Nile river photo) and Milad Tower in Tehran. In both cases, I told the users that they cannot upload these photos as part of the contest since they are not registered. (Milad Tower is one of the most iconic towers/buildings in Tehran and I would count it as a monument if the formal registration wasn't a concern.)
This is a contest, so it's important to have a level playing field for all the participants: draw the line before it starts (define a list, a criteria or such) and accept for the contest only what's in. Otherwise, some people will (rightfully) be disappointed.
- We ran into an uploaded photo of a monument with no ID, too, and we
decided to keep it. Here is a longer version of the story and how we decided to move forward:
We have the Cyrus' tomb as part of the top 10 photos with no monument ID associated with it. In this case, Pasargadae which is an area that includes the Cyrus' tomb has a monument ID, but Cyrus' tomb itself seems not to have one, and we decided that we can consider the photo from Cyrus' tomb as a photo of Pasargadae, and then later figure out if it needs to be registered on its own as well or not. But, we didn't manually add the ID to the photo. In this case, it seems to us that it was confusing to the uploader what monument he/she had to choose (all the uploaders' other photos are associated with monument IDs), and it seemed the uploader had decided to go ahead and upload anyway. We accepted this upload.
Give the Tomb the monument ID for Pasargadae, since it is a part of it, a detail For example, if you have a house which is a monument, a photo with a detail from it (a door, a window or such) will get the ID for the whole house, is the same thing as with your case.
