We propose that after we add the Uploader role to those users who were given the Moderator role just to upload images, we will then remove the Moderator role from those individuals. | We propose that after we add the Uploader role to those users who were given the Moderator role just to upload images, we will then remove the Moderator role from those individuals. | ||

Sounds reasonable to me [[User: | Sounds reasonable to me [[User:Laraleepn|Laralee]] 17:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC) | ||
Sound OK to me, except I really don't like the term "Uploader." Sounds like you're running a conveyor belt to load "ups." Just my farm background showing again.

:Isn't an uploader something used in a Fisher Price Toy set? When I think of uploader my memory seems to see something bright yellow that beeps.

::I guess I do not think that way. I personally do not like poster either as it sounds like something hanging on the wall. Bright yellow and beeps sounds like a very fun thing. For me, the action text is "Upload File" in the Toolbox. It would make sense to me to use the same words or some derivation of the words. Upload is the standard name. However, even one without the rights can still upload, they just do not have the immediate approval. So, maybe it needs o keep the Reviewer. [[User: | ::I guess I do not think that way.

I support this. Never had anyone unfriendly, but had issues with timeliness and naming. [[User: | I support this. Never had anyone unfriendly, but had issues with timeliness and naming. [[User:Thomas_Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 19:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC) | ||
Great with me and like Thomas Lerman said, I have issues with timeliness and naming by somebody else after I submitted a few and not able to get that person to correct the naming of the file to the uniformity. I am still waiting for direct uploading with oogles of images.

Some alternate names were suggested: Media Uploader, Media Loader, Media Poster, Media Contributor, Multimedia Reviewer, Multimedia Approver, Image Approver, Media Approver, and Reviever [[User: | Some alternate names were suggested: Media Uploader, Media Loader, Media Poster, Media Contributor, Multimedia Reviewer, Multimedia Approver, Image Approver, Media Approver, and Reviever [[User:RitcheyMT|Ritcheymt]] 20:52, 20 October 2009 (UTC) | ||
::Here's another suggestion for the Uploader name change: Media coordinator. Coordinator is a nonthreatening position in any occupation.

:::The thing about "Media Coordinator" that worries me a little is that it may sound like a member of FamilySearch's marketing team who feeds information about the wiki to the media -- newspapers and genealogy magazine writers and such. If misunderstood that way, the title Media Coordinator might be construed as an authority figure in the wiki, which is something we wanted to avoid. (It's the same trouble we had with calling this role Moderator.) So I wonder if inserting Multi into the word would help clarify things. Then it would be a Multimedia Coordinator. (Makes for a long name, though. I prefer the short role names Wikipedia uses, like SysOps and Bots and such.)

My vote is to have a Reviewer that has a job (e.g. the missionaries) to review and upload, and to have an Uploader role for the people we trust and who get a free ticket to by-pass the image review process. Uploader and Reviewer, both roles both names.

OK, I surrender! In the interest of simplicity, I would like to see the title remain one word. So maybe "uploader" isn't so bad after all.

Vote recorded below, but wanted to add my opinion in agreement with Jim that we should keep the reviewer as a separate role from Uploader, even if the rights are the same. In the future they may diverge. Even now, the Uploader doesn't approve others' images, only their own, right?

I generally support the change, but don't have an opinion about titles. --[[User:Gregorybean|Gregorybean]] 00:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
