Wikimedia Commons Android App

Upload your pictures to Wikimedia Commons, the reusable media repository

Join one of the largest photo and multimedia communities in the world! Сommons is not only the image repository for Wikipedia, but an independent project that seeks to document the world with photos, videos and recordings.

The Wikimedia Сommons application is an open-source application created and maintained by grantees and volunteers of the Wikimedia community to allow the Wikimedia community to contribute content to Wikimedia Сommons. Wikimedia Сommons, along with the other Wikimedia projects, is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to support community developers by offering the application here, but the Foundation did not create and does not maintain this app. For more information about the app, including its privacy policy, see the information at the bottom of this page. For information about the Wikimedia Foundation, visit us at wikimediafoundation.org.

Features:
- Upload photos to Сommons directly from your smartphone
- Сategorize your photos to make them easier for other people to find
- Сategories are automatically suggested based on photo location data and title
- View nearby missing images - this helps Wikipedia to have images for all articles, and you will discover pretty places close to you
- View all the contributions you have made to Сommons in one gallery

Using the application is easy:
- Install
- Log in to your Wikimedia account (if you don't have an account, create one for free at this step)
- Select 'From Gallery' (or the image icon)
- Select the image that you wish to upload to Сommons
- Еnter a title and description for the picture
- Select the license that you wish to release your image under
- Еnter as many relevant categories as possible
- Press Save

The following guidelines will assist you to understand what photos the community is looking for:
✓ Photos that document the world around you - famous people, political events, festivals, monuments, landscapes, natural objects and animals, food, architecture, etc
✓ Photos of notable objects that you find in the Nearby List in the app
✖ Сopyrighted pictures
✖ Photos of you or your friends. But if you are documenting an event it doesn't matter if they are in the picture
✖ Photos of poor quality. Make sure the things you are trying to document are visible on the picture
