Hello all! I am Sannita, and I am the contact person for the Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW) project.[1] The project is a follow-up of the work done on Commons, as part of the previous Structured Data on Commons (SDC) grant.
I'm bothering you all, because we are looking for feedback that can help us design and build some new *image recommendation features*, to provide more and better suggestions for image matches to unillustrated articles.[2] We are looking for relatively experienced Wikimedia users, in particular users who have experience in uploading media to Commons, also in connection with writing and expanding articles on Wikipedia.
If you are interested in following this project, you can also subscribe to our newsletter.[3] We recently published our first issue, with a series of questions regarding the Image recommendation features we're focusing on at the moment.[4]
Thank you in advance and hope to hear from you soon! If you have any question, you can also contact me in private via email, Telegram (@Sannita) or on my talk page.[5]

Hi,
I already gave my feedback on the image recommendations feature on-wiki (particularly: don't use P373, use the sitelinks), but in general it feels like it (and WPWP) undermines making direct use of Wikidata's P18 property ('image') in the projects - by recommending to users to copy the info from P18, you increase the future maintenance burden (e.g., if an image is deleted but there is another one that can be used in its place), while if you just used P18 in the first place then it's future-proof. (Same with the other image properties that are on Wikidata, for things like night view.)
Thanks, Mike
