When user takes a photo, send push notification - "Is this a picture of A/B/C? Is it in administrative area D/E/F? (then link Wikidata/Commons)"

[magnusmanske]

How about when the user take an image to upload, the location is checked against Wikidata items without image nearby (say, 200m), and then presents a list of all these under the heading "Is this a picture of..."?
Likewise, items near the location can give you a "administrative area", or at least a very short list thereof; follow that Wikidata list to "higher" units, and present the lowest one with a Commons category, as a "location category".

Hello,
Great honour to receive feedback from you!
That's a great idea :-)

We happen to download a database of nearby points already in the app. But since 1) We are currently loading the whole nearby data but will switch to adhoc area-centered requests as soon as we can 2) Wikidata items missing requested pictures vastly outnumber wikipedia requested picture tags; we could also query Wikidata directly with something like this.

I also proposed this at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143884

Love the idea!

Is the Wikipedia app already interested in taking this on? (since I noticed that they were tagged in the Phab task).

Relevant suggestion by Mark Traceur on nemo's Phab task:

A word of caution...if you're pulling photos from a person's recent camera roll, you may be using pictures that were uploaded to other sites (e.g. Google Maps), which may then cause a false positive flag for copyright violation. I would suggest including a question like "have you shared this somewhere else?", which allows people to at least give Commons a heads-up that the picture is already online.

[nicolas-raoul]

Isn't it true for any OS though? Asking for every picture would be very cumbersome. After 10 uploads asking "Do you often also upload these pictures to other websites?" would be the best, I think.

That is true. Or perhaps just state in the notification that people should be aware that if the pic has been shared to other websites, it may be copyrighted?

[nicolas-raoul]

The picture is owned by the user, so the problem is not that it might be copyrighted. The problem that this issue tries to solve is that Commons bots might *falsely believe* that it is copyrighted. These bmts compare all incoming images with all flickr/etc pictures.

I would like to include this in the IEG renewal proposal if possible. Some points of discussion:

1. Should this be displayed whenever the user takes a photo, or when they are in the radius of a place that needs photos, or both?

2. What should the default opt setting be? If we make it opt-in it may too obscure to find, but if it is on by default, users might get annoyed and just uninstall instead of looking for the setting to turn it off (I might have done this with one or two other apps, haha...). My suggestion would be off by default, but when user checks the Nearby list for the first time, it could ask "Would you like to be notified when you are close to a location that needs pictures? Yes/ no and never ask again". Perhaps similarly for the first time they take a picture with our app running in the background?

[nicolas-raoul]

After the 5th upload, how about showing a popup saying something like: "Congratulations on 5 uploads! You have unlocked a new feature: Notify about nearby items blabla. If you don't want this feature, click here, otherwise click OK"
