Hi Wikipedia,
Few Questions that I wanted some information -
1. In this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_State_Protected_Monuments_in_West_Beng... Can't see Victoria Memorial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Memorial_(India)? WHY??? So, can we upload images ofVictoria Memorialhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Memorial_(India) for the Contest??? Victoria Memorialhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Memorial_(India) IS THE MOST POPULAR MONUMENT IN CALCUTTA. Victoria Memorial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Memorial_(India) is a Monument that is evident from these Wikipedia Links - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_West_Bengal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Monuments_and_memorials_to_Queen_Victo...
2. " Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 India Upload Wizard. Steps and help http://www.wikilovesmonuments.in/ - *Find the monument ID !https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Wiki_Loves_Monuments * - Other countrieshttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_upload "
Is this step compulsory or is it for the Volunteers???
3. In Pranav Singh's photo, Tomb of Safdarjung, New Delhi Pranav had written "|description={{ASI Monument|4}}" that was corrected by a Volunteer to "|description={{ASI Monument|N-DL-50}}" So, if someone does not know the ASI Monument Number, it will be corrected/included by the Volunteer???
4. If we put multiple images, can it be the same monument in different angles???
Kindly clear the confusion and please give a contact email where contests can ask for any information? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sourendra,<br/><br/>As per Indian law, a monument is any building that is more than 100 years old. The Victoria Memorial was finished in 1921. Hence it is not on the Archaeological Survey of India list of monuments.<br/><br/>Pradeep<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone

It is your duty as participant to ensure that your image has the right monument id and in the right format (in this case, wrapped between "{{ASI Monument|" and "}}"). Should you fail to do so, you may be lucky and have your description fixed by someone else (and thus the image would participate). Or it could be that nobody fixed your image/care to look up the id for you (and it wouldn't). And in the worst case, a volunteer may see it has a wrong number, think it's not a monument and remove it from the list of participants. As the uploader, you are the best suited one to find the identifier for the monument you have photographed.
- If we put multiple images, can it be the same monument in different
angles???
Yes, of course you can upload as many images of the same monument as you wish. Several angles, several sides of the building, include different views of the inside in addition of the exterior. A monument is much more than a single photo. (On the other hand, if you have 30 identical shots, you may want to choose a single one for upload)

Hi Sourendra,
Pradeep has answered he question regarding the Victoria Memorial. This is not the only popular monument which is not in the list. Major of the people have also been asking about the infamous Mysore Palace. It's the definition which is restricting us.
It is mandatory to fill in the identifier number. Some people do miss that. We are all volunteers, and with excitement, we all make sure that major of the photos has the identifier number and so we go and add the identifier if we know what is the monument is.
You can upload as much images you want. I agree what Platonides has to say here but.
