12 GB of metadata and 50 TB of files released by Yahoo!. «Plus about 49
million of the photos are geotagged!»

Can this dataset help linking projects' articles and Wikidata items to
the images we miss? I can imagine
* a FIST expansion querying the data in some way to find flickr images
"nearby" a geocoded page of ours,
* a bot mapping photo IDs from geolocated Wikidata entries and then a
bot importing on Commons those we lack,
* a Wikidata Game to aid automation in some of the above.
Where an image is in a non-free Creative Commons license, we can
flickrmail the author to relicense it, the success rate is typically
high (we could also do this by bot, if we're able to automatically write
a message mentioning the specific files and the pages where we'd use them).
