One drawback of this is accountability. There's no trace of who voted a picture through the app (categories are changed by the bot). Another problem is that authors are adding themselves the categories nominating the images they just uploaded: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Comac_Church.jpg&diff=78180783&oldid=78180598 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ADramatic_Obelisk.jpg&diff=78175836&oldid=78173883 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Protestant_Children%27s_Home_Sept_2012_05.jpg&action=edit&oldid=77720478 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Bellows_House_Missoula,_Montana.jpg&action=edit (these are all different users tricking the system, random images provided by the tool) > I'd love it if there could be a positive version of this - say click > keep and the bot places the file name in your sandbox - but the > problem there would be you don't eliminate anything and the possible > selection just keeps on growing.
