It's interesting to read here that Flickr already has something like this with an upload key. I wonder how secure that is? When it comes down to it, I think only experienced Wikipedians really care if their Commons passwords get compromised. After all, new users just get a thrill of seeing their photo added to the competition. I wonder if any of them have ever noticed their pictures even get used in the lists? I totally agree that the mobile upload function needs to be on Commons, so people will become Commons members and not anything else. Now I have an additional idea, namely this, that we allow mobile upload users to ONLY use the {{own}} attribution. This way even if the passwords get compromised, the damage can't be that bad and will always be easily traceable. Jane

I really liked this idea, very much, if feasible. I just don't like the number of steps...
I may be the last tech guy in the world with no fancy cell phone/PDA/Tablet, so I don't know.... but aren't those ISP plans billed by traffic usage? I mean, wouldn't it be more "costly" to send the photos by e-mail and - still - have to go to a site to finish the submissions?

What about, you send the photo to upload@wikilovesmonuments.org (one email address, easy to publish)
Then, after N minutes (30? 60?) without sending us a photo, we reply
saying:
You have 4 photos queued for upload. Please visit when you have time
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/upload-queue/bc781acb3c8d4ab39461675feabbf...
in order to finish the upload.
And we query all the details there. We expect them to be logged into commons and have javascript enabled. The low-level transfer could happen through Upload by url (whitelisting wikilovesmonuments.org).
