[Wiki Loves Monuments] Uploader stats

Sun Oct 7 08:59:48 UTC 2012

Erik,
That's interesting, because my username is not in your list. My username is
Jane023 and my mobile uploads are done by jane023. I noticed in your list
that cases where the only capital letter is the first one (such as in my
username) are not counted. Perhaps this could be the reason? I would expect
most usernames only to have the first letter capitalized.
