Openclipart

• Source to upload from: http://openclipart.org/collections

This request for the upload was ignored: ttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading#Pearson_Scott_Foresman SVG files

• • Did you observe an URL pattern
  • Do you know whether the site has an API
  • What else can ease uploading (is the site valid XHTML, WCM they use…)?
  • Did you contact the site owner?

I contacted Wolfgang Spraul <wolfgang@fabricatorz.com> 22 January 2014 and he told me that the best thing I can do is "to tell all your friends about Openclipart. :-) Tweet, Blog, say thanks from wikitranslate, but most importantly tell them in person."

When I asked him about the credits for the work to the project I was told to add the link to the homepage http://openclipart.org

• Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):

Public domain clipart files in SVG format.

• Which license tag(s) should be applied?

{{PD-author}}

• Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?

All SVG files from openclipart (I've downloaded the 1.4GB dump for Aug 9th) seem to contain embedded metadata with the Author, a link to the source page for the file, and a bunch of openclipart-specific "tags". I think the key to importing the images is finding a good mapping from the oca tags to commons categories. --Dschwen (talk) 15:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Opinions

This user ("GDJ") alone has created over 22500 cliparts so far, and they would all be very nice to have on Commons. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
