Yes.. the focusing on the specific goal is IMHO quite important - otherwise people can go and photograph everything and it might be deleted from Commons as out of scope. I guess it should be a well defined objects which are for sure encyclopedic and anyone can safely photograph. The best thing would be to check what is missing in Commons and then make a contest about photographing these specific objects. For example - I can imagine photographing railway stations, mountains, rivers, bridges, various natural species etc. Or for example - at least in Polish Wikipedia - there is a "photo wishlist" - so the contest might be based on this list - the winner is the person who uploaded the highest number of photos from the wishilist... -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
