We have more than enough D23435646 and IMG345456456 and QZ23545657 image names already.
If we use a FlickrLickr-like process, the renaming can be done as part of the review process. FlickrLickr already does a check on the filenames from Flickr, and if they match a simple regular expression like this, it forces the reviewer to rename the file.
- Please ONLY allow this option: "I am the creator of this image, and
hold its copyright." The other option will be such a pain and near impossible to verify, and trust me, there will be enough problems with their own work.
I tend to disagree here, but an e-mail address should be required if this option is selected.
I think we should limit uploads to something like 2 per person per day.
This depends really on whether images go directly to Commons, or through a review process. If they go through a review process first, someone uploading hundreds of images wouldn't be a problem. We would just have to explain to users that becoming part of the community is the best way to contribute.
- Also categories... suggest five (somehow) based on their description
text & CommonSense and get them to pick the most relevant, or just leave it up to the reviewers?
The point shouldn't be to clone the upload UI we have, but to provide a simplified process for people who don't know how to use Commons, something which we can advertise widely and broadly. Again, with a review process, the categories can be handled by the reviewers.
