Hello friends,
Should you choose to upload, then I recommend :
- That you use the Flickr upload form of Wikimedia Commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fr...)
- That the Commons file name you select for the uploaded file be prefixed by VTHROB- (for Vinu Thomas Helicopter Ride Over Bangalore), for example, I have uploaded one and called it as - VTHROB - Bangalore Palace.jpg - You give a meaningful entry in the Description for the upload form. In my case I gave: *Aerial view of {{w|Bangalore Palace}} and grounds. Image taken by Vinu Thomas on 17 December 2011 during a helicopter ride over Bangalore sponsored by Nokia. (Auto-improved with Microsoft Picture Manager by User:AshLin)* - You must please add a category in the upload page - default category should be "Bangalore" unless you can be more accurate. Sometimes you may need to create the category (like I created Bangalore Palace, subcat to "Bangalore" & "Palaces in India"). - Please place a comment on the Flickr page of the photograph which says something like : *A large thank you to Vinu Thomas for providing this photo under a completely free license for Wikipedia. The image has been uploaded here : <a href=" http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VTHROB-Bangalore_Palace.jpg" rel="nofollow"> commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VTHROB-Bangalore_Palace.jpg</a>* - Add a tag to the Flickr page (since tag adding is enabled) - "Uploaded to Wikimedia Commons" (the double apostrophes must be included) - Add the image to an article. I added this to [[Bangalore Palace]] - for newbies, the wikitext is : [[File: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VTHROB-Bangalore_Palace.jpg%7Cthumb%7... of Bangalore Palace and grounds.]] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore_Palace - Create a stub article, if you want for the building/area/monument/feature shown. :)
All the best. Your uploading more of Vinu Thomas's images will really help Srikanth Ramakrishnan who is doing an excellent job.
Warm regards,

If anyone is willing to upload, then please do so. I'm afraid I can only do it on Saturday morning. Saturday too, I have a heavy backlog of Commons and Wiki sorting to do in the morning followed by some personal work in the evening. So I'll be flat out. Do help out. Cheers.
