How many pictures can I upload?
You can upload as many pictures you wish. However, before the images are forwarded to the judgement panel, the final decision on eligibility will taken by the coordinators. We encourage to upload pictures of varying Indian uniformed services instead of the same scene in various angles. If possible, you can give preference for the photographs of the services that don't have a picture already on Commons. If an image of a subject already exists, try to upload a better image of that subject as that shall serve more purpose on Wikimedia projects.
