Problem: It is often difficult (especially for someone who has uploaded a lot of files) to remember if you have already uploaded a file that represents a certain place. A user accessible map to check (based on the file coordinates) which images have been uploaded would be very useful to the whole project.
Proposed solution: Create a map (similar to the one on Flickr) showing the uploaded photos and the coordinates they represent.
This is a cool idea, though I'm not sure it is widely useful. Is this not possible in some way today in e.g. Petscan? --Izno (talk) 05:48, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno I don't think that Petscan can do something like this (at least, after looking in every tab of the tool, I haven't found something that fits this needing). Mannivu·✉16:40, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's just a partial solution, as the one suggested by others. A user should create a SPARQL query and not everyone is able to do so. --Mannivu·✉17:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd recommend managing this on your own desktop, using a photo library tool such as digiKam. Tag your images to show you've already shared them (with a tag named something like "contributed_cc4bysa"), and give each image geo-location data and other categories to help you group them (such as "Olympics_2012", "WikiLovesMonuments2019", etc) and the search filters in a decent photo library (such as digiKam) let you immediately see which images you have already shared and can overlay them on a map. It's a cute idea to be able to do this on the Wikimedia Commons side, but I suspect it would be quicker (and more efficient) to handle this on the photographer's system. --Bobulous (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
