Peer review - review the latest pictures uploaded by other people

[nicolas-raoul]

Let's say Joe is in the train with 30 minutes to kill, and he has already uploaded all of his interesting pictures. Joe could start playing a mobile game, but he prefers doing something for the greater good.

We should let Joe easily review the latest pictures uploaded by other people. Suggested user interface:

• The picture
• Good action buttons: Looks good, Send a public thank, Selfie, Copied from the Web, I don't know
• Some statistics about the author, and a browser link to their talk page

Benefits:

• Give Joe something to do rather than upload less-interesting pictures
• Relieve some of the burden of the Commons reviewers.

We could experiment like this for now, but if they are too many positives we could wait for 2 or 3 people with the same opinion before marking the picture (in that case the marking would be done in the name of the second/third person)

If this is successful, we could also ask people to categorize pictures with no categories. These actions could be counted for gamification.

This sounds really interesting! Is there already a framework in Commons that has those options? I know "thank" exists, but I haven't seen the others (I suppose "selfie" and "copied" can just use the nomination for deletion framework). If there isn't already a framework, I don't think we have the privileges to implement one server-side?

For deletions I suggest copying the concept from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-QuickDelete.js . It is a gadget that can be enabled in your Commons preferences, I use it a lot, here is how it looks like on the Web UI:

I suggest doing it directly from the app (which is logged in), rather than server-side. The server-side (if needed) would only be for coordination (if needed). If the app selects relatively recent pictures randomly, and remembers what pictures the user has reviewed, then at first we might not need anything server-side (until we decide that we need to wait for several people's opinion, but that won't work unless we have many reviewers already, so going without first).

Queries that show the latest uploads by the app, they should be tested for performance and quality of the results:

• https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/26940
• https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/10587
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/catfood/catfood.php?category=Uploaded_with_Mobile/Android
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Didym/Mobile_upload (probably fastest but painful to parse)

We should filter out the user's own uploads, either in the query or in the app.

I think this is done. :)
