The current uploadwizard is too corrupt and doesn't work correctly as at least
we should expect. The onliest way it works correct is when a user accidentally
fills it in perfectly, but that isn't the daily practice. If an uploadwizard is
meant to be for dummies, then it should be dummyproof, and the current unstable
uploadwizard isn't that at all and is too buggy. That is unacceptable to me for
an official contest. I think it would be fantastic if we would get an
uploadwizard that **really** makes it easier for people who have little
experience with it, but the current uploadwizard makes it more difficult for
them.

Hi Romaine,
please keep in mind that the target group for the upload wizard are mainly
non-wikipedians and hopefully also people that are new to computers (e.g.
60-year-old hobby photographers), and those will be very confused by the usual
forms. The upload wizard divides the upload process (that is a very natural
thing to you and me and everybody involved with WLM) into small steps and
therefore is easier to complete.
Wikipedians and especially those who will upload hundreds of pictures will rely
on Commonist and other tools, they can categorize their uploads by hand.

Hello all,
I am not happy at all with uploadwizard. The uploadwizard at Commons is
annoying, this one is worse. I am certainly not going to send users to this
uploadwizard. I just need one page in what users can fill in everything,
including the monument-id. If that is too much asked for, fine, then we need to
create our own uploadform.
