The question just got asked when I was about to ask it.
The problem is that the organisers end their activities with the upload of hundreds of
images. The cleanup is expected to be done by un-named, unknown others. The encyclopedic
value of the images that the people took in the photothon never get realised.
The organisers of any photothon must realise that the photothon should end only after the
Juice is squeezed out of each image. Better to have 50 good images, catalogued and
embellishing articles than thousands "[[waiting for Godot]]".
Take a look at

about something like this, right Ashwin?
