--- Comment #65 from Lupo <[email protected]> --- Yes, we do see some changes. The number of Mobile/Web uploads has been about halved, from about 200 to 100 per day. However, of these 100, the vast majority (in the area of 70-95%) is still crap that should not have been uploaded in the first place. You can find some statistics at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum#A_propos_.22mobile_upload.22 (for days since July 16; in German). While this change helped reducing the number of uploads through this channel, it did not improve the overall quality of uploads. I said so already above: this feature suffers from the systemic problem that the users of the feature have NO CLUE about copyrights, free licenses, or the Commons. The vast majority of uploads also isn't used anywhere. Technical solution attempts won't help. You will need to either * figure out a way to really educate users of this feature, or * restrict the use of the feature to users that can be assumed to know what this is about, * or switch this feature off altogether. For the second approach, someone suggested restricting the feature to users who have a global edit count > 900. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
