Commons:Batch uploading/Anefo

Anefo

A set of 140.000 Dutch press photos from the period 1959-1989, made available under CC-BY-SA license by the Nationaal Archief, at [1]. The upload contains a (Dutch) description, date and licensing information, and some suggested categories, which are however in Dutch and often not very useful anyway. All images are put in Category:Images from Anefo and Category:Uncategorized images from Anefo.

Opinions

• Please read Commons:Guide to batch uploading
• Change the naming of the files to <title> Anefo <id> and don't make the titles so short. Current names mess up sorting (everything at A)
• Use {{Nl}} (Update, you should use it like {{nl|1=}})
• Include deep links to the originals (id should resolve to a location)
• Use the attribution field of {{Cc-by-sa-3.0-nl}} to include the correct attribution
• You should probably make a Partnership template
• Some statistics on the subjects would be nice for easy mapping to real categories. You should probably not mix subject and coverage. Doing 140.000 files by had is too much. You do that by making a list of top subject and a list of top coverage. You ask users to map these to real categories (where possible) and use that at upload. That's a lot less work than doing everything by hand.

  • I don't think file naming and sorting is much of an issue. Other batch uploads are done in a similar way.
  • Please use {{nl|1=}} rather than {{Nl}}.
  • I mapped some of the suggested topics at Category:Anefo temporary redirects. The redirect bot would eventually move them to the correct categories. Once the upload is finished, these can be deleted. --  Docu  at 13:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Taking File:Anefo 910-6881 Blauw-Wit tegen.jpg as an example.
    • The identifier field contains "naa:2f7593fe-b9a1-11df-ba8e-03c82bd9ba46:a99dfe84-d0b4-102d-bcf8-003048976d84". If you chop off the first part you get the UUID and you use {{Nationaal Archief-source}} to make a deeplink like http://proxy.handle.net/10648/a99dfe84-d0b4-102d-bcf8-003048976d84
    • The author (Pot, Harry / Anefo) is missing. Multichill (talk) 16:48, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
      • Please let us lookup/define categories before downloading. We have hardly 1200 images downloaded and already 950 suggested categories. It took us many years to cleanup the KIT image categories, so lets try to do it better. --Foroa (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
        • QLD worked fairly well IMHO. --  Docu  at 18:47, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
