May I use this as a shameless plug for my automatic description API:
http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=265
It scores a 9 in the Hemmingway app for Nietzsche, as opposed to the 22 for
the English Wikipedia initial paragraph:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/autodesc/?q=Q9358&lang=&mode=long&links=text&r
that are hard to auto-describe, and use (properly cached) automated
descriptions for everything else.

As I have stated before, some items can benefit from a manual description,
but the vast majority could be described sufficiently by a machine, based
on the item's statements. Having people type in "German composer (X-Y)" is
a waste of time, and not scalable with 14M items times 300 or so languages,
Because Commons is afraid of the massive influx of selfies that will then
have to be deleted, binding admin time and upsetting the uploader (who is,
likely, not aware of the Commons policies).
As was said before in this thread, some filtering at the source
(smartphone) will have to be implemented
; the WLM lists). The community voted that the 'easy uploader button" would

There is no "fear" of more Commons users; there is (valid) concern that
Commons will get a large influx of pictures from one-time users, and that
most of these pictures may have to be deleted. We have seen this even for
"pre-selected" user groups; when some Wikipedias (Portuguese for one, I

As to Wikidata descriptions, I think it's a good first step. As someone
mentioned, it's pretty useless for most languages, as there are no
descriptions on Wikidata. IMHO the next step is auto-generating short
descriptions from the item statements, which will be perfectly fine for the
vast majority

Ah, but when auto-descriptions get better, how do we know which should be
updated, and which have been "improved" bu humans? Because people will
screem bloody murder if we replace "their" descriptions with automatic
ones, even if those are better.

So it turns out that ValterVBot alone has created over 1.8 MILLION "manual"
descriptions. And there are other bots that do this. We already HAVE
automatic descriptions, we just store them in the "manual" field.
The worst of both worlds.
