Dear all,
a doubt:
is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons?
Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)?
Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM
(they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating
monuments on Wikipedia)
but is a legal matter.

Hello everyone! I hope all is well :-)
Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons (SDC) will become available this year.
With SDC, Wikimedians can add data from Wikidata directly to files on
Wikimedia Commons.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/About
Benefits include multilinguality of Commons files (users can find and
describe files on Commons in many languages), and machine-readable data
with better APIs, that offer more advanced possibilities to build
applications like Monumental - https://tools.wmflabs.org/monumental/
In the not so far future, you will also be able to organize Wiki Loves...
(Monuments, Earth, Africa, Art, Love, ...) campaigns on Wikimedia Commons
with structured data. (This is entirely optional, but maybe some of you are
already keen to do this, especially if you already have monument or other
data in Wikidata!)
In the course of 2019, the SDC development team wants to improve Wikimedia
Commons' UploadWizard to support the campaigns that want to be powered by
Structured Data 'new style'.
Do you have ideas and wishes for this? The team wants to hear which
structured data features you want to see in UploadWizard, and we are now
organizing a consultation about this over the next two weeks.
This page gives more context, and links to where you can leave feedback.
We're collecting this first round of input until April 17.

Many thanks in advance!
Warmly, Sandra
