Karthik, Naveen and everyone involved, a big Thank you and Congratulations,

hope you can keep up the momentum.

Karthik,
Thanks for the update. Thanks to you, Naveen and the jury for all the
hardwork and perseverance.
Can you update the (user names/ real names and location of winners on
the web site? I am sure that the winners must be eagerly waiting to
receive the prizes and hope you will have some more updates on the same.
I'm not sure which "web site" you are referring to above - commons?
chapter wiki? Karthik's email mentions the link to each winning picture on
commons, and if you look closely below each picture is a section for
"Author".
I'm not sure how familiar you are with WLM. But if you look on the
commons page for the winners[1], a large majority of them are redlinks with
next to no information about real names and locations of photographers. I
believe the competition has more to do with the pictures themselves than
the photographers. Some of the winners created their account for the sole
purpose of uploading the pics, some chose their names, some didn't. It is
their right if they choose to not declare their real name and location.
Putting this information on commons without their permission, can be
tantamount to WP:OUTING[2] and against the Wikimedia privacy policy.

Disappointed that there are no user pages or
information on background
of contributors of winning entries.
Let's try and contain the disappointment, shall we? ;) This was a big
initiative taken by such a young group of volunteers. They deserve to
lauded for their achievement. The information about the individual
photographer is rarely a priority during these initiatives.
Hope the winners will take action to update their pages soon so that
the community knows bit about them and their passion for
Photography/monuments and their approach towards the contest and also few
words about their winning entry.
If they choose to mention those details, sure. They don't have to do
anything, like the majority of winners from other countries.
Thanks again guys, and Keep up the good work!
Regards
Theo
