My family had Christmas together. We made a shared album for 8 of us. Since many photos are similar, we each planned to delete our lesser quality photos, as there over a thousand, but since Apple stripped all the identifiers, we can't tell which are ours. Is there any way to mark or differentiate our own photos? Otherwise, the whole idea of shared albums is worthless.

You can add a comment to your Photo, when you share it. When you open a photo in the Shared album to view it enlarged, you will see a speech bubble in the lower left corner. Click this to add a description right after you share the photo and still know, that it is yours.
You can also see who shared a photo in the Activity stream. There you will find all photos you shared in one place.
It may help to ask all subscribers to share only the very best photos to begin with and add missing photos later. The shared albums are downloaded to all devices of all subscribers, unless you only share it as a public webpage, so it is not very considerate to a create shared album with thousand photos.
Thank you so much, léonie! I've been searching for a solution to this for weeks, but no one had an answer. Your reply was spot on. Both your suggestions worked exactly as you described, unlike any advice I've ever gotten from a forum in the past, and I'm so happy!
If I may please explain how this happened: I am almost 78, my husband and I live in Virginia. Our 3 children and 9 grandchildren (4-18) live in Oklahoma, 1400 miles away, so we can only get together about once a year. It is difficult and we never know when it may be the last time, so I encouraged everyone to submit all their photos (if one of us is missing next year, any photos would be treasured). There are currently 17 of us and this year we managed to get 14 days together, so that's lot of photos, but it's a year's worth of family memories. Thanks to you, I can now start editing the best ones and we can all start sorting and removing our own lesser quality shots, if we see others have submitted better ones. I am beyond grateful.
