It&#39;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&#39;t be that bad and will always be easily traceable.<div>

I really liked this idea, very much, if feasible. I just don&#39;t like the<br>
number of steps...<br>
<br>
I may be the last tech guy in the world with no fancy cell<br>
phone/PDA/Tablet, so I don&#39;t know.... but aren&#39;t those ISP plans billed<br>
by traffic usage? I mean, wouldn&#39;t it be more &quot;costly&quot; to send the<br>
photos by e-mail and - still - have to go to a site to finish the<br>
submissions?<br>

<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">&gt; What about, you send the photo to <a href="mailto:upload@wikilovesmonuments.org">upload@wikilovesmonuments.org</a><br>
&gt; (one email address, easy to publish)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Then, after N minutes (30? 60?) without sending us a photo, we reply saying:<br>
&gt;  You have 4 photos queued for upload. Please visit when you have time<br>
&gt; <a href="http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/upload-queue/bc781acb3c8d4ab39461675feabbf90f" target="_blank">http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/upload-queue/bc781acb3c8d4ab39461675feabbf90f</a><br>
&gt; in order to finish the upload.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; And we query all the details there.<br>
&gt; We expect them to be logged into commons and have javascript enabled.<br>
&gt; The low-level transfer could happen through Upload by url (whitelisting<br>
&gt; <a href="http://wikilovesmonuments.org" target="_blank">wikilovesmonuments.org</a>).<br>
