We usually organise an action to use pictures from WLM right after the
contest in order to keep uploaders with us. This is also a kind of
contest with some small gifts for people who will use the highest
number of pictures. Our tables we filled with pictures mainly
atuomatically using bot, and the wikipedian were only asked to check
the bot work and fix bugs.

Hi all,
During Wiki Loves Monuments, thousands of monuments have already been
uploaded and that is amazing! It's nice to have a lot of images of monuments
on Wikimedia Commons, but it's even nicer to also have these images in use
on Wikipedia. You can help by adding these unused images to the lists on
Wikipedia.
All uploaded images should contain the 'unique identifier' by which you can
identify a monument in your country. Thanks to this information, Erfgoedbot
recognizes which images belong to monuments that do not have a picture yet
in the monument lists on Wikipedia. Erfgoedbot reports these images on the
'unused images' page dedicated to your country-language combination,
together with a link to the exact monument list this image should be placed
in.
An overview of all 'unused images' reporting pages is maintained on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images
, which also explains how to use those pages. If you find a mistake, have a
question or just want to say how much you like this tool, you can use the
talkpage attached to this overview page. The overview also reports which
language-country combinations have the most images that could be inserted
into a monument list. Currently the countries that require most attention
are:
* Russia in Russian - 22,334 unused images (because they recently created
the list, there's a bit of a backlog, so this is understandable)
* Ukraine in Ukrainian - 5,500 unused images
* Flanders (Belgium) in French - 3100 images
* Poland in Polish - 2300 images (lots of uploads!)
* Flanders (Belgium) in Dutch - 2100 images
* Armenia in Armenian - 1900 images
* Israel in Hebrew - 1200 images (and their competition hasn't even started
yet!)
* Switzerland in German - 800 images
Good luck with processing this, and please put a note on the talkpage if you
need help understanding something. It might make sense to ask some more
community members to jump in, if you can't manage by yourself. The lists are
updated daily so you probably want to put "your" list on your watchlist so
you can keep up.
Lodewijk
