This ticket is the suggestion to turn captchas into actually useful micro-edits, like the classic reCAPTCHA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA) did with scanned images. this could be a number of different things, image editing/cropping, OCR (commons to wikisource), or edits as currently developed by WikiGrok.

For example you could first show a Wikidata item without an "instance of" to a number of users and let them decide if it's a person or not. Then once some data has been gathered you could use the same question as a captcha and check against the previous answers you got.

Yep, similar idea is below:

Although as far as media is concerned this kind of thing will well only work well once commons has a structured way of storing information about media.

The trick is to surface user tailored captchas, e.g. if someone is reading an article about bats, and wikidata has no information about what type of animal it is, then it could easily surface a question, like 'A bat is a "fish", "insect", or "bird"?'.

Oh wow, I love the idea of relevancy when thinking about this.
