[WikiX-l] Photos coming in of events

[Steven Walling]

Hi everyone, 

So tomorrow is the actual anniversary, but there are already photos rolling in on Commons of the events, which you can see at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_10_events

Israel definitely wins the prize for most comprehensive coverage so far with 97 photos. Go Itzik and Wikimedia Israel! Stockholm is the runner up, with 46 photos. There are also some very nice shots from Poland, Amsterdam, Indore and Jaipur. Even just one good photo does the job in my opinion. 

Thank you to everyone who has uploaded so far. I cannot understate how excited it makes everyone at the Foundation to see these. I will be adding some of them to the photo gallery on tenwiki (http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_gallery) and I'm going to highlight the gallery on the main page. 

I also know there are some photos of events (like the awesome kite flying in Bangladesh) that are on Facebook but not on Commons yet. If there's any way we can share those outside Facebook, that would be great. If not, just be sure to post them to the "10 years of Wikipedia" event page. 

Let me know if you need any help getting things on Commons. I am happy to upload anything if you want to send me the files. Of course, there's also the guide created by Jay at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organize/Record_our_history

Thank you, and happy anniversary!
