Talk:Project grants/Wikimedia Commons advertisement business cards

Discussion

Using QRpedia or bitly to track how the links is being used should be straightforward. How would the number of people who go on to upload pictures to Commons be measured? Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 12:38, 22 April 2014 (BST)

Possibly using UploadWizard's campaigns... Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2014 (BST)

Maybe. It would be nicer to keep track of usernames rather than uploads if possible. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:00, 22 April 2014 (BST)

Surely if we know what files are uploaded we can works our usernames. CatScan v2 could do that, and since you can add categories with a campaign it would be straightforward to run a report. I think the bottom line is we should be able to measure it, so the cards could be a good investment. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2014 (BST)

• I've had similar thoughts to this in the past and I think this is a fantastic idea. Would it be better to have A5-sized cards as well as or instead of business-card sized? There's very little room on a business card, and we might want to explain (or at least touch on) things like licensing so that Commons' requirements don't come as a surprise when they get to the upload interface.

  • Thanks Harry. :-) A6 might work, but I think A5 might be a bit too big. My rationale with suggesting business cards is that they'd be easy to slip into any sort of camera bag, which would make it less likely that they'd be left behind by photographers when they go on trips out, and they'd be easy for the recipient to tuck away in their own bag.
