[Wiki Loves Monuments] [Wlm2013-l] drop off in submissions, banner

[Karthik Nadar]

Hiya,

as the contest ends, can we change the CentralNotice banner saying
something like this: "Wiki Loves Monuments contest ends tomorrow/the day
after. Photograph a monument, help Wikipedia and win."

This is just to alert that the contest is ending soon, and so that most
people will hurry up!



Regards,
Karthik Nadar.
Secretary, Wikimedia India Chapter.
