Find the tool here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tools/Commonist Yes, I know Commonist. It makes uploading easier, but it does not change the available bandwith. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] what is a Monument?
Hello, The ASI list is very incomplete. See for examples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_India/Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Madhya_Pradesh What do we do in this case? How do we attribute an ID number? Another issue will be getting the connection and time to upload all images. With my 3G key, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to upload a full size JPEG image (24 Mpx, 8 to 12 MB). I usually resize image to 12 Mpx which the volume from 6 to 8 MB. Still it takes ages to upload HR images. During the WLM contest, I could take 100s of usefull images, but I could never upload them all. Has anyone an idea how to overcome the problem?

It goes by the rather descriptive name, Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. You can read this act here - http://www.asi.nic.in/asi_monuments.asp Some monuments are well preserved, and others are a blot on our conscience, and the 'activities' of the ASI. Not that this is the objective, and not that the objective of our participation in WLM is to create a tourist paradise, but I do hope that some of the photographic documentation achieved in this year's photothon will help create some public outcry against the widespread decay and neglect. We have, in general, far too many laws and far too little public concern about the manner of their implementation. My answer to you here is in a much broader context than the competition, in reference to which you ask this question. warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas From: tshriniva...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:25:55 +0530 To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] what is a Monument?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] what is a Monument?
Roads, nature, scenery, people, shops, people materials does not qualify for the contest, while heritage monuments like Thiruvalluvar Statue, Gateway of India, India gate, etc are the few examples of monuments. Hope the temples come under monuments. Do any one know the places in chennai to take photos of such manuments? -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
