`OAuth CID: 404`	FolkSource [0.9.1]	FolkSource is a geographic mobile crowdsourcing application, run by GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota.

One of the data-gathering campaigns we want to pursue involves providing photos to geo-tagged Wikipedia articles that do not have any, which requires OAuth in order to allow our system to upload photos to Wikimedia Commons on behalf of a user. We are requesting only the rights we need to properly upload photos on behalf of users (e.g. page creation is needed because pages get automatically created when a file is uploaded).
