[Wiki Loves Monuments] Uploader stats

Sat Oct 6 09:51:51 UTC 2012

Great stats Erik, and I agree with Lodewijk that we seem to have lots of
returnees!
It is very puzzling about the increased activity of non-WLM uploaders. Of
course there is a lot going on behind the scenes at Wiki Commons with
categorization and id-checking and so on, but I feel that the vast majority
of volunteers on Commons and other projects are also uploading photos
themselves (like me).

It's just a thought, but I noticed that when I uploaded with my mobile
phone, that my username was all in lowercase. I hope the usernames are not
counted in a case-sensitive manner. Could this be a reason?
