Hi all,

About an hour ago the Wiki Loves Earth contest in Germany closed. Shortly
after it was noticed that there were still uploads that contain the contest
template {{Wiki Loves Earth 2017xx}}.

With some of the images it looks like the uploader started uploading before
the contest ended, but finished after. We will investigate what causes
this, a bug or change in the software.

With other images it was clear that those have been added manually by the
uploader.

With earlier photo contests there was a bot that removed the contest
template, hopefully this bot still runs to fix these errors soon.

If you notice that a contest template is added to a file that was uploaded
outside the contest period, please just remove the above mentioned file.

Thanks!

Hey Romaine,

wrote a quick query to find all images that are uploaded before the first
country started, or after the last one finished.

This is not the same as when the template was uploaded though, but these
are definitely out of scope: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/19126

Best,
Lodewijk
