I am promoting commons to the photographers I know and to those I follow in
flickr.
Many use flickr to showcase their works. What are the tools available for
photographers to contribute to commons via flickr ?
How can we copy their images to commons automatically ?

Hey all,
I'm helping out with an upload of digitized manuscripts. We were discussing
the metadata that come with those, and there were some issues that weren't
covered by any of the existing useful templates (book or artwork). However,
I would still prefer to use an existing template instead of building
something from different fields. Does anyone have experience with uploading
manuscripts and associated metadata to Commons, and can point me to some
examples of how specific problems were solved?
Best,
Arne Wossink

Hi all,
We're excited to announce that we've rolled out several new features and
bug fixes for the Commons Android app[1] over the past few months. Some of
the major ones include:
- A map of nearby places that need pictures (in addition to the existing
list). Selecting a nearby place allows users to see the associated Wikidata
item, get directions to the place, or view the associated Wikipedia article
- A new and improved UI, including a light and dark theme, a navigation
drawer, and a logout option
- Fixed memory issues preventing users with older phones from accessing the
app
- Licenses now include CC-BY 4.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0, and licenses can be
selected individually when uploading a picture
- The total number of pictures that have been uploaded from an account are
now shown, and the image details pane now displays the upload date and
image coordinates
Thank you for your support and encouragement though all this time!
Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub
page[2]. :)

Hello all,
I am working on building a web application, to record audio files,
upload them to commons, link to relevant wiktionary pages.
To achieve this, I am connecting a web application, Lingua-Libre with
commons,wiktionary.
Here is a demo video on this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8pwCC9MqGA&t=13s
When the application is production ready, we can host it on a server.
Contributors can create account, login, spell words.
In backed, I will upload the audio files to commons with my account or
a bot account.
we will get the user's wikipedia user name on the profile, so that we
can mention the same as the "original author" of the file, in the
commons.
If I upload all the files, using my account, the upload count and
metrics for my account will be high.
Is there any way to add the same counts and metrics for the relevant
user, I mention as "author" ?
I want those users should see their contributions counts/files on the commons.
This will encourage the users to contribute, without any issues on
their reports.
How can we achieve this?
Thanks.

Dear all,
It's been a while since I last used the GWtoolset. I'm using the artwork
template but in making the mapping (step 2) the fields Title and
GWtoolset-title don't appear, whereas these fields are required. Am I
missing some change to the tool or is this a bug?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Best,
Jesse
