Hi Lodewijk!
this is a very good idea. How we can implement this automatic response
in WLMPerú Project?.
Best,
Johna

Hi all,
I'd like to quickly point to the good practice of thanking
contributors for their photos, and using that opportunity to give them
some more information on how else they can contribute to Wikipedia.
This might increase the number of people that stick around for longer
than just the competition. After submitting a (rather poor) few photos
to the US competition myself, I received this message:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Effeietsanders#Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_the_United_States_-_Thank_You.21
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Effeietsanders#Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_the_United_States_-_Thank_You.21>
This kind of message can probably be sent automatically. The text I
pasted below for your convenience.
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi there! Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in
the United States. We're excited to see people uploading thousands of
photos from all over the country! You and others have collectively
uploaded 4,929 photos so far, all of which are viewable at
Category:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States (sorted by state).
We encourage you to continue contributing through the rest of the
month. Uploading your photos of monuments isn't the only way to
contribute, however. If you're interested, we have compiled a list of
auxiliary ways to contribute - which include improving Wikipedia's
coverage of historic and cultural sites, as well as finding existing
free photos that can be shared on the Commons. While these
contributions don't count towards the contest, we are still keeping
track of them and they are great ways to contribute to the spirit of
the project.
If you are interesting in contributing to Wikipedia, WikiProject
National Register of Historic Places is also great place to start. The
WikiProject showcases the work that has been done so far in covering
NRHP sites, and can also help you find articles that need improving.
If you're on Twitter, give us a follow Twitter Logo Mini.svg
@WLMUnitedStates for updates, news, and more.
If you have any questions between now or the end of the month, feel
free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~Kevin Payravi
