OK, so the problem is different than I thought, with the photos uploaded in July and August falling outside the Euro-wide competition. I am a bit unclear how these foto's can be catagorized for the Swiss jury in September to handle. As far as I know, the upload form for Wiki Loves Monuments will only work in September, right? (just tested the upload form for a RM and no worries, it's just the basic upload without a monument prompt)
I see no negative impact for the rest of Europe, just a bigger job for CH. Jane 2011/7/5 Ludovic Péron <[email protected]> > Yes.
