There is one thing which we did not emphasize last

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).

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".
