Suggested Commons workflow

Here's what I suggest could be done. It's not the only way of doing things but it works for me:

1. Vera to upload file to Category:Unidentified sportspeople from Australia, tagged only with category Photographs by Vera Búcsú
2. Vera to let Sticks66 know when something is there, or Sticks66 could have a look from time to time
3. Schwede66 to move file (rename) to achieve a meaningful file name; I don't think you would have the user rights to do that
4. Sticks66 to create category for the rower (if none exists yet); I can show you how that's done
5. Add other categories to each file as might be appropriate
6. Category to be linked to Wikidata; this will also link it to the various Wikipedia articles in all languages; again I can show you how that's done
7. Portrait photo added to Wikidata
8. Photo or photos added to the relevant article on the English Wikipedia (in my experience, other languages will soon follow; I think it's creating the category and adding the portrait to Wikidata that triggers this)

How's that? Schwede66 20:33, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Fine by me Schwede. A bit involved and that's why I steer clear of pursuing contemporary images ! But all good. -Sticks66 (talk) 02:35, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
