Hi Philip,
Thanks for the feedback!
- Pre-filling the description and categories will be relatively trivial
as we already do this in some situations (e.g. uploads from our "nearby
places that need photos" map), and we do intend pre-filling to be part of
the feature when we implement it.
- The choice of data set is indeed a major concern. I had a brief
discussion with Lodewijk and Stephen about this earlier, but the consensus
was that we should discuss it with all of you (the national organizers).
When we start the planning process in 1-2 months' time, I will probably
create a page where everyone can provide their input on the suitability of
various sources for their country.
Best regards,
Josephine

Hi Krishna,
which data is this based on and how will the campaign data be filled
from the android app? As far as I'm aware, there's no automatism to prefill
said data and it would be quite an additional burden on volunteers to have
to sift through pictures uploaded via the app that are missing categories
and descriptions that are otherwise prefilled.
If the source used is indeed Wikidata, at least in Austria that data
hasn't been accurate ever since Wikimania Montreal.
BR,
Philip
