just to be 100% clear: these cases you describe will not be handled by bot.
The bot will only handle cases where a correct identifier is given, and
matched to the database. This is something you will have to do
semi-manually.

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
in Thailand]] and add something new (Butterflies
for example)
Greets,
Bas

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?

Thank you for your help!
