Hi Shrinivasan & Bodhisattwa, The idea of uploading the images to Commons is good, but for WLM it’ll be bad. As a previous co-organiser of the event and being part of judging team, I won’t suggest this. It becomes tedious for the first round of filtering. Going through the same set of images

700 pictures! Wow. You deserve a million barnstars, Shrini. I'd say go for it as long as the pictures are not repetitive. Sometimes it is important to have multiple angles of the same object though. Just curious if you're planning to geo-code some of the as well. But, otherwise, I think so many
