Yes, Konark. But I do not want to point figures to one event. In my view all events are culprits. <div><br></div><div>Imagine the problem of processing 15K images of the Tamil contest - I shudder to think!<div><br></div><div>
Suggestion : No image should be considered eligible for competition till it is uploaded with :</div><div>* proper description.</div><div>* suggested/recommended article for image use or for creation.</div><div>* proper categorisation in Commons.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Have volunteers available to help photographers. The photothon should end in an uploading function where volunteers help in these aspects.</div><div><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br><br>Ashwin Baindur<br>
