Hi all, With all the Wikimedia events it is a problem that keeps coming back: whether participants do or do not want to be photographed. Often we get to a very crude binary result: either everything is allowed, or nothing at all. And still most people seem to violate that simply.
Hence, I was thinking whether a more personal and photo specific option would be available - allowing people to veto certain pictures before they get 'really' published. After all, Commons doesn't allow deletion simply because you dont like the quality or dont want to become public in that position. Would it be an option to create a staging area, where people can upload their event photos of Wikimedia events, and where people can simply veto their own pictures? The vetoing doesnt have to be water tight, but rather easy. A password to enter the staging area for that specific event could be given to the participants where they can check the photos and veto them. Then we can proceed with 'no veto = published' and mass upload the non-vetoed photos after a while to Wikimedia Commons. If we can develop this centrally (and make it available to all Wikimedia events) or install something on Wikimedia servers that already does this, that would save a lot of event organizers headaches. Any feedback, anyone who would be willing and able to pick this up?
