Commons:Mobile access/Mobile upload needing check

Files linked on this page needing check (potential copyvios and out of COM:SCOPE uploads).

Background

After long discussions, uploads to Commons through the mobile/web interface have been turned off on 28 August 2014. Reason for this was the enormous amount of copyright violations and useless files uploaded throught this channel, with a peak of 100% junk on 26 August 2014. Lots of these junk files were being discovered through recent uploads patrolling and subsequently deleted. However, the portion of copyright violations and out-of-scope files among the remaining mobile uploads is still high. Since we don't have to deal with new mobile uploads at the moment, we should now have a bit of extra time to go through all the remaining files previously uploaded from a mobile device again. This is also a great opportunity to add some Categories and clean up the file description pages of the "good" uploads.

How to check

pick a date from the list by clicking on the link to the mobile upload log
check every file not yet deleted for:
1. copyright violations
2. Commons:SCOPE
mark inappropriate files for deletion
while you're at it: ideally clean up the remaining files concerning
1. categories
2. descriptions
3. date= field (if missing, put in {{According to EXIF}} or {{Original upload date}})
make your way through the list by clicking on older 50 until you reach the previous day
when finished with a day, mark it as done (using {{done}} --~~~~)

Attention: Most of the very obvious cases have probably already been taken care of, so please take your time to do this thoroughly.
It may be a good idea to mark the day's log you are currently working on to avoid two people working on the same day. You can do this by putting something like {{On hold|I'll have this done by Tuesday}} --~~~~ next to the day's entry in the list
If you come across single files you are unsure about, list them below the day's entry in the list to get a second opinion

useful gadgets

Here are some tools (Preferences → Gadgets) that might help you reviewing files:

Pretty log: Adds thumbnails to the log pages.
Quick Delete: Adds useful links to tag files as missing source/license/permission or for deletion, and notify users accordingly
Tineye tab: On File pages, adds a new tab to easily search for similar images on the Internet using Tineye.
GoogleImages tab: On File pages, adds a new tab to easily search for similar images on the Internet using Google Images.

early uploads

Probably OK, but if someone cares to check:

- Question File:Tipico omoteleuto preso dal … Not sure about the license: {{PD-ineligible}}? --El Grafo (talk) 20:24, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  I would say so. The text is definitely PD (actually predates any concept of "copyright" by centuries), and the pencil markings certainly are not copyrightable. What little is visible of the (modern) introductory text (the italic text at the top) is de minimis IMO or otherwise could be cropped away. Not a major issue in any case, at least the file looks like it was really taken by the uploader and as it is freely licensed there's no pressing need to fix this.

2013-05-01 done, except the files listed below. ireas (talk) 15:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- File:NZ 2013-05-01 21-23.jpg – nice picture, but IMHO out of scope without a meaningful description. ireas (talk) 15:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- File:جامعة الخرطوم 2013-05-01 08-30.jpg, File:جميلة و مستحيلة 2013-05-01 08-29.jpg, File:جامعة الخرطوم 2013-05-01 08-31.jpg, File:مهند ابومسمار حصل على درجة الماجستير من جامعة الفيصل 2013-05-01 13-15.JPG – valid uploads, but I can’t categorize them as I do not understand the description. ireas (talk) 15:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - File:جامعة الخرطوم 2013-05-01 08-30.jpg: Done → tagged as copyvio --El Grafo (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - File:جميلة و مستحيلة 2013-05-01 08-29.jpg: Not done → translate.google.com translates the description to Beautiful and impossible, which doesn't make much sense. Put it into Category:Unidentified locations for now, pretty much useless though. Thinking about DR … --El Grafo (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - File:جامعة الخرطوم 2013-05-01 08-31.jpg: Done → translation via google translator and cross-reference via google image search lead to University of Khartoum. --El Grafo (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - File:مهند ابومسمار حصل على درجة الماجستير من جامعة الفيصل 2013-05-01 13-15.JPG: Not done Google translates description to Muhannad Eboumsmar earned a master's degree from the University of Al-Faisal, which seems to be en:Alfaisal University. Moved to Category:Universities and colleges in Saudi Arabia. I'm not sure about COM:SCOPE, however - someone getting a master's degree isn't really notable and we don't know who the other persons are. --El Grafo (talk) 15:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Starting May 8, 2014 mobile/web uploads were scrutinized shortly after the upload. There should not be many problem cases left in the logs below; but they may still need categorization, moving to better names, improving the description, and other cleanup.

Starting July 16, 2014, daily statistics with mention of some remaining dubious cases were reported in the discussion at Commons:Forum.
