Arnav,
I really appreciate the hard work and am hoping more users follow suit.
As for the copyright and professional guys issue, don't get tensed.
I see this kind of issue everyday, and I'm of the opinion that often it's
us Amateurs who can capture things better thru our lenses for Wikipedia.
It's what the picture conveys and NOT the picture itself that matters.
Not convinced?
Go thru Indian road network on English, you'll find two lousy, pathetic,
images of mine on the page. And I didn't add them. The community did. My
mediocre photography is appreciated by the Community The community
appreciates hard work, [as a part of the community, I do too], and will
continue to do so, because it is the net result of our efforts that the
rest of the world sees.
Cheerio.

Great job, Arnav. If another trip to the museum could
result in published
sources to write about it, or the Fort, then it can move from mention over
here -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamnagar#Places_of_interest
to a stub of its own.
Normally, museum directors keep copies of newspaper articles or magazines
where their museums feature.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hello everyone,
While on vacations at my hometown Jamnagar, I thought of contributing
something to Commons, thus I decided to start with Archaeological Museum
Jamnagar. The Museum is superb with different variety of exhibits of
Jamnagar like stone excavations, rifles, canons, different pictures to
show. Thus I decided to capture those and put on commons, I am still in
midst of processing many more images and upload them, meanwhile I have
created a
Gallery<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lakhota_Museum_Jamnagar> on
commons. Please do have a look at it and give your valuable
suggestions/thoughts.
I was charged Rs 100/- by the Museum authority and also have the receipt
of it, thus they allow to take photographs.
Also one interesting thing was going on in Museum, there was one other
professional photographer taking close up shots with proper background and
lighting of each and every artifact with the help of few other people of
museum, on inquiring it, I came to know that Government has asked to
digitize the whole museum, and thus he got one of the contracts to
photograph them, but sadly all of them will be copyrighted.
Once again the link to my gallery is
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lakhota_Museum_Jamnagar.
Hoping to hear from all of you.
