Opinions[edit]

The bot, that uploads this files is hosted on labs. It is written in python and uses pywikibot to upload data. The code is available on GitHub. I have uploaded some files as test with my own account but a Bot account when needed can be created. To avoid duplicate I compare SHA1 hash of the files and the source files on Commons.--Pouyana (talk) 22:03, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
