btw, the coordinates of a photo should be the location from where it was taken, not where it points to/what is on it

Dear Martin,<br>
<br>
<br>
You are right. For photos it is clear. Some photo-cameras are even
capable to add coordinates to photos, and then <i>Camera location</i>
lat and lon fields at the Wikipedia upload page are filled in
automatically.<br>
<br>
<br>
However, it is not so clear for videos. Wikimedia allows now to
upload HD videos. For example, last weekend I filmed a documentary
video of <i>Fort des Rousses</i> and added it to the Wikipedia page
[1]. It is the second by territory military fort of France, 21 ha,
constructed in the 19th century. I filmed it from the ground walking
around its walls and from the air flying around. <br>
<br>
<br>
The nearby lake <i>Lac des Rousses</i> [2] is even larger, 0.9 km2.
My aerial and ground cameras moved around it while filming quite
long distances.<br>
<br>
<br>
In such cases I select the middle of the area which was filmed at
the OSM map Share section, copy & paste the link to a text
editor, remove parts of the URL leaving only two real numbers of lat
and lon, and then I add these coordinates manually to the Camera
location lat and lon fields at the Wikimedia upload page. It
requires some additional manual work, a text editor, but it is
doable and even kind of simple. But I could not explain this process
to a non-IT colleague via e-mails even with screen shots.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
Oleksiy<br>
