I don't see that it is practically possible to propagate data back to Wikisource. Rather, this would be used to perform initial OCR for Wikisource, perhaps primarily for works where machine-based OCR would be ineffective. > *is this even effective as a captcha I don't see that it would be any less effective than the current captcha. > **the dataset used to generate the images are publically available. It is > unclear that the dataset is large enough that someone downloading the entire > thing wouldn't happen. Actual dataset used on Wikipedia doesn't need to be publicly available. > **an attacker could add entries to the dataset. Im not sure how exploitable > that is, but its something that is concerning I don't see how could an attacker add entries to the dataset. Actual dataset used on Wikipedia would probably be tightly controlled. > **its unclear this will actually prevent spam. Computers do not get bored. > Even > with 1% getting through, it would not be effective. This is using texts that I don't see that it would be any less effective than the current captcha. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
