External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Mapillary. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150402134343/http://www.arcticstartup.com/2013/12/11/jan-erik-solem-launches-mapilary-putting-images-on-the-map to http://www.arcticstartup.com/2013/12/11/jan-erik-solem-launches-mapilary-putting-images-on-the-map

License section needs clarifying[edit]

It looks like the License section was written when Mapillary was NC licensed, and although that detail has been updated to reflect the change of license, the section needs rewriting for clarity. If anyone knows more about Mapillary and has references for its reasons for adopting and then changing its license, please dive in. Otherwise I'll try to come back and fix it after I've done some reading and found some suitable references. --Danylstrype (talk) 10:32, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

For clarity: Please remove “Initial release April 2014; 4 years ago” and replace with “Founded September 2013”, source: https://www.mapillary.com/press

For neutrality: In Research/datasets - Please remove “touted” and replace with “described”

For neutrality: In License - Please remove “The application itself, however, is proprietary, unlike the similar service OpenStreetCam. Mapillary eventually plans to generate revenue by licensing the data its users generate to companies.” This language appears to endorse a competing brand. Suggested replacement: “Commercial licenses are available, in addition to the CC-BY-SA license, for organizations looking to use the images and derived metadata.” source: https://help.mapillary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001770409-Licenses

Edit request implemented

Additional changes made The Mapillary blog section was removed, as it does not directly pertain to the service (rather, it is a place to discuss the service). A link to the Blog was placed in the External links section. spintendo 00:09, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics Update[edit]

When I get a 404 page for mapillary, the statistic "1437.8 million images and you missed them all" pops up. Would count as a verifiable source? (404 page eg here: https://www.mapillary.com/project/verification/) --IanVG (talk) 05:27, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
