Hello Taweetham,
Most of the answers below are advises, there are no strict rules on this I believe from
the international contest.
What you describe is in some countries a pretty common issue (with up to 50% without
ID's) in other countries it's very minor (with below 1%).
1. Please inform them asap, new users tend to not stay at Wikipedia that long (if you wait
a day they might never look back to their account). Also give them some more information
(like where to find the lists). You could also decide to correct the ID yourself (I'd
advise that because it just means more value of the information and more images in your
lists). There will be no bot informing users of this.
2. If they are not eligible just remove them like you've described below so remove
{{Wiki Loves Monuments 2013|th}}[[Category:Cultural heritage monuments

Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Categorization of images
Thank you, Lodewijk. I have passed this message on to my Thai team.
Two questions:
1. I have seen a number of submissions without IDs. Will there be a
bot to notify the participants automatically - asking them to correct
their submission? When should we notify them? (asap or every week or
just once at the end of the submission period?)
2. Not only ID are not provided, some of these are off list and will
not be eligible. The photo is valuable to common though...
Here is one example:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B…
There are things that need to be changed:
{{Wiki Loves Monuments 2013|th}}[[Category:Cultural heritage monuments
in Thailand]] ==> definitely removed... It is not on the list.
[[Category:Uploaded with UploadWizard]] ==> Probably okay to stay?
[[Category:Uploaded via Campaign:wlm-th]] ==> I am not sure about this
one... I think it can stay for historical purpose?

Hi all,
as you may or may not know, the bot 'erfgoedbot' (run by multichill)
categorizes images to more specific heritage categories, once they have been
uploaded. For this, it goes into the root of the category tree (usually
"category:Cultural Heritage monuments in XYZ") which has been added at
upload, and based on the templates used in your lists it will try to find
more specific categories.
How you can help:
* Add {{Commonscat}} templates to your lists, linking to the right category
in Wikimedia Commons.
* Clean up images left over in the category after the botrun (the bot runs
in the European night)
* Expand and maintain the category tree.
See for more information:

Your help here would be very valuable, because I've been told that if the '
leftovers' become too many, it will slow down erfgoedbot (100+ it already
has an impact) and that is of course something nobody wants! Also, the
leftovers are usually either a mistake in the structure (something you'd
like to correct), or a mistake by the uploader, making a typo in the
identifier or just making it up. Keeping those numbers low, should help you
maximizing the number of valid submissions in your country!
Thank you for your help!
Lodewijk
