[Wiki Loves Monuments] Reuploading

[Philip Chang]

To add to Jon's comment, we are considering a simple UI change to make it
obvious that users can upload from mobile and then replace the images later
on the desktop.

This assumes that replacing files is allowed, based on the copyright
considerations discussed earlier in this thread.

If there is any preference for this feature, please let us know.
