Hello, I don't believe it's an good idea to add automatically Paris as Category for an image of the Eiffel Tower. Category should be a deep as possible. Somebody has to clean-up this add will not be happy. Perhaps better to have a maintainance category for this.
Perhaps you can use existing images with GPS and Categories to add categories for new images. (Sound like machine learning.) If you see a chance to link from Wikipedia/Wikidata to Commons, you could use coordinates from Wikipedia (something I could provide). One other option for mayor cities could be to setup populate place from naturalearthdata: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/110m-populated-places/ Greetings Tim alias Kolossos Am 12.07.2016 um 05:25 schrieb Abdeali Kothari: > Hi, > > I am a GSoC student making a script using pywikibot to find categories > for Images on commons[0].
