Kaldari came up with a tool for WLM-US which works quite well IMHO as a part of the jury process, but is not the whole answer.(...)
The logic is that you can include a photo for further consideration by clicking "Nominate", or you can eliminate it from further consideration by clicking "Decline for nomination" and when you can't decide click "can't decide." It works by manipulating categories on the photo's file "Category:WLM-US 2012 unreviewed" to start off, then "reviewed" and/or "nominated" We're aiming to eliminate 90% at this point - keeping up as the photos come in. But in reality we're keeping 14%. I think one of the quirks is when folks manually change categories - it can just stay in the unreviewed category forever. The fix here is just manually changing the categories to the correct state.
It's a tough system (but quick) "one strike and you're out." But it is needed if you have several thousand photos to go through and want to get down to a few hundred in a reasonable time so that you can properly consider the best ones.
One drawback of this is accountability. There's no trace of who voted a picture through the app (categories are changed by the bot).
Another problem is that authors are adding themselves the categories nominating the images they just uploaded: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Comac_Church.jpg&di... https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ADramatic_Obelisk.jpg&... https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Protestant_Children%27s... https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Bellows_House_Missoula,...
(these are all different users tricking the system, random images provided by the tool)
I'd love it if there could be a positive version of this - say click keep and the bot places the file name in your sandbox - but the problem there would be you don't eliminate anything and the possible selection just keeps on growing.
You mean something like Nuno tool?
