Arrey no. Chill ya. You are our biggest success story of the photothon :P This comment was generally regarding how too many images can make us all lazy.

Hey Noopur, If I sounded accusing, I apologize for that. I was going to do this categorization work and saw this mail here. And Anirudh, I'm on it, I'll add/create proper categories to the images.

Just to add to what Konarak and Ashwin said, I am guilty as charged.
We kept
the Category:Ahmedabad_1 to avoid flooding the popular category. It was decided to serve as the ''maintenance category'' but none of us really
got
around to transferring images to the Ahmedabad category or cleaning up. There are several reasons for this:
It was clearly not your fault. You are a new user and I should have migrated these files to the regular categories. I am now removing [[Category:Ahmedabad 1]] and replacing with it [[Category:Ahmedabad]] and [[Category:Wikipedia takes Ahmedabad 1]]. All help is welcome, these two categories are a must, you can add further categories if they already exist or if there is a justifiable reason to create a new one you can create those and add the cat to these files. I'm no expert on Commons categorization, but there are a bunch of helpful power users available on #wikipedia-en and #wikimedia-commons who can help you out with that.
We decided to go with [[Category:Ahmedabad 1]] instead of [[Category:Wikipedia takes Ahmedabad 1]] because we assumed that would make it easier for the users to add these categories easily.
- People started using images from Ahmedabad_1 soon after the event
to make
Ahmedabad articles. So, the attention was diverted there.
Indeed. A few good images made it to the articles, while a couple of images inspired creation of articles around important monuments. See [[Hutheesing Jain Temple]] (and thanks Srikeit for that).
- Personally, I was unclear as to whether all these images had to be
migrated because of course some are repetitive and redundant. But,
I/We are
no one to judge whose image stays or goes.
Yes, indeed.
Thanks, anirudh
