An open question: Could a bot help us with anything here?
===Important Notes===
* It is helpful to begin at a template (e.g. [[Template:Pd]]) or category ([[:Category:Bishops]]) and work backwards from there.
Comments and suggestions about how to do this are most welcome!
===Importing===
'''Please import all appropriate images from a whole category at one time and then register the category on Wikimedia Commons that they were imported from here.''' I mean let's systematically work through the relevant categories on the Commons -- just write down which one(s) you've already been through so we don't repeat it, and do one at a time so we don't miss stuff. While you're at it, why not take a moment to help the Commons fix up some of their categories? Categories on the Commons do not have to be directly mirrored here. Please see the list of categories above, and register your new category there too.
* We will be able to avoid duplicates because of the identical filename. When there is any question '''do not''' overwrite the current image, but check first -- either it is different and needs a new file name or it is the same and doesn't need to be uploaded. The only exception to this is if you want to overwrite the current file because it is inadequate and you have a better version. Please mark all such changes in your comments for the Upload log.
===Transfer Log=======Already processed:====
* [[commons:Category:Crosses]]
* [[commons:Category:Christian_cross]]
* [[commons:Category:Religious_symbols]]
====In progress/already assigned/underway:====
====Recommended for Transfer:====
* [[commons:Iconostasis]]
* [[commons:Category:Icons_%28art%29]]
* [[commons:Category:Christianity]] - of course there's overlap, just be clear in your log
* [[commons:Category:Coptic_script]] - not all the letters, but the three other images
 
==Beyond==
Once the importing from Wikimedia Commons is completed (although growing, importing from the Commons is a relatively finite and concrete task), there are many other sources of usable images.
 
I'd suggesty that we don't aggressively go after these, but "casually" -- browsing through them, we might find some gems.
