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
Yes, Konark. But I do not want to point figures to one event. In my view
all events are culprits.
Imagine the problem of processing 15K images of the Tamil contest - I

Agreed, I wasn't involved in editing until the Ahmedabad photowalk happened,
else I'd have helped.I suggest we should segregate the photos in sub
categories, while keeping track of those identical images that should be
deleted.

Hi Netha,
Great initiative!
Wondering why you're limiting yourself to one article? Why not do multiple
articles in small groups of 3 to 4 people? Also, why not do it across
languages as well?
It might get slightly messy but will be more fun and might foster some
healthy competition between the

they already exist or if there is a justifiable reason to create a new
