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.

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.

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).

Yes, indeed.
Thanks,
