Just FYI, I did a rough analysis of GLAM batch uploads and campaigns on
commons recently and the numbers below for Wiki Loves Africa is slightly
better than the average across the movement (~6.5-7% depending on what kind
of batch you are looking at). Overall images on Commons, if not uploaded in
targeted ways for use on content, have a significant underusage in batch
projects. My theory is that this is because of how hard it is to use and
search sets of files described with categories. Structured Data on Commons
gives us a lot more tools for helping new users or less experienced users
improve the discoverability of the images, and the SDC pilots:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/GLAM/Projects ,
give us a targeted way to look at different parts of encouraging discovery
and reuse -- including a pilot designed to work with Wiki Loves Africa
Images. In general, Commons has not been a good platform for encouraging
reuse of content, even when it is high quality.

Hello Jos,
This thread is about "Wiki Loves Africa" and "WikiAfrica" is not the
same
as "Wiki Loves Africa". I am not sure how your statistics on "
WikiAfrica"
might be useful.
Regards,
Isaac
