Hello Denny,
I think we in Europeana had the same problem in the GLAMwiki toolset
project [1].
We wanted to submit the metadata we had for Europeana objects to be
uploaded in Commons, but that was not fully possible... So we'd have to
think of an alternative. Do you think it could happen via Wikidata?
Best,
Antoine

It is a bit early for that question right now.
In the long run we plan to have metadata about Commons media file
(current state of the discussion is here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/*
*wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_**media_info<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info>)
- but this is planned for 2014.
For now, the Creator template in Commons can not be replaced with
Wikidata. There is no way to integrate data from Wikidata in an arbitrary
Commons page (which is what you would need in order to replace the Creator
template). We have a Bug for ( this
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**
org/show_bug.cgi?id=47930<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id…)
and aim for this in this fall / early winter to be completed.
My assumption would be to, for the long term, create the Creators as
items in Wikidata (if they do not exist) and add data to them. But this
will not yield any short-term visible results, which is frustrating. So you
might want to have a double strategy: add them to Wikidata and add them in
the creator namespace, just as you have done so far.
Does anyone have another opinion on this?
Sorry for not having better news right now,
Denny

hi,
we are currently experimenting to have, after zb zürich earlier the
year[1], a second museum from switzerland uploading full quality
images (i.e. tif format)[2]. i was wondering what is the most
"wikidata compatible" way of adding a creator information to an image
like this one:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/File:Soleure_Aa_0012.tif<https://co…
the painter winterlin is in the category, has a template including
personal information, just like the wikipedia article, and the
wikidata entry.
