The scope of Commons is actually much less, than en.wikipedia uploading to Commons is not a great introduction to the movement copyright and more complex than just fixing a spelling error or adding a statement.
We do need to more to encourage uploading of media files, WLE, WLM do work towards that more on the ground engagement within communities, and seeking support from within the photography community where mine, mine, mine, dont ask for free stuff is big issue because way to many commercial operators want everything for free, we forget that photography is an expensive hobby you cant just borrow gear from a library or read online like you can with sourcing written content. Personally I think WLE, WLM need bigger budgets all round with sponsors from retail outlets offering photography prizes and WMF & Affiliates offering the primary prize that lets people buy gear like cameras and lenses On Sun, 17 May 2020 at 11:05, Benjamin Ikuta <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Anecdotally, it seems people sometimes don't upload their photos to > Commons because they don't realize that the scope of Commons is much > broader than that of Wikipedia. > > Has there been, or should there be, any research into this, or why people > don't contribute more broadly? > > ~Benjamin > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l > New messages to: [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, > <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> -- GN. *Power of Diverse Collaboration* *Sharing knowledge brings people together* Wikimania Bangkok 2021 August hosted by ESEAP Wikimania: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gnangarra Noongarpedia: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/nys/Main_Page My print shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Gnangarra/shop?asc=u _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
