[Wiki Loves Monuments] [WLM announce] Categorization of images

[Lodewijk]

just to be 100% clear: these cases you describe will not be handled by bot.
The bot will only handle cases where a correct identifier is given, and
matched to the database. This is something you will have to do
semi-manually.
