--- Comment #79 from Lupo <lupo.bugzi...@gmail.com> --- Maybe you're also interested in my first-time mobile user experiences reported in bug 68375. Summary: * the upload tutorial doesn't work for me on my desktop browser, but that may be a quirk on my end. Please verify all the same. * maybe add a "respect third-party copyrights" line on the description page. Part of the problem really appears to be that the process is so streamlined and simplified, that it is OK *only* for self-taken pictures but completely neglects that people can and do upload other images through it. It is indeed a very quick process, and it is right only in one particular use case, and completely wrong in many other use cases. Which explains the poor success-failure rate. Use cases: * I want to upload an image I have just taken with my smartphone - OK, though the selfies are not really in scope and will be deleted unless used on a user page. * I want to illustrate this article with this image I've just taken myself - OK for uploading, but I didn't see any post-upload help to actually use the uploaded image anywhere, i.e., to include it in the article I wanted to illustrate. * I want to illustrate this article with this old image I've found at XYZ - process is wrong for that. * I want to illustrate this article with this image I saw on that other website - process is wrong for that, and user should be educated not to do this at all. * I saw this cool picture and want to share it with Wikipedia - process is wrong for that, and user should be educated not to do this at all. I did mention in bug 68375 one idea to enforce that the process is really only used for self-taken images: do a server side Google image search for each Mobile/Web upload and refuse the upload if more than one hit. Just a crazy idea, but it would catch most copied-from-somwhere files. Instagram uploads could probably be caught by looking at the width/height ratio; they're usually square. If the ratio is in the range [0.9, 1.1] or some such, refuse the upload. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
