Hey Biswarup,
I wasn't confused about which category to put it in. I was merely asking
if
the photowalk would have a specific category or not and whether I could upload my pics into that for easy sorting as part of an outreach?

Dear Debanjan, It is a good idea to upload your photographs! I suggest if you have confusion of the Common's 'Category', put those photographs like:
'Month
Year in Country' category. Suppose you have taken some photos on 16
August,
2009 at Mumbai, put those in 'August 2009 in India' later any one can
put
in other relevant category/categories. Regards.

Hi all,
I was going to reply on the WB list but since this is on the Indic
list
already, I'd thought I'd ask here. I won't be in Kolkata at this time
but I
have a few lovely pics that I was planning to upload on commons. So
do
you
guys have a specific category in mind that I should tag them to or
should I
just randomly tag whatever I feel is relevant?
