Trainpix

• Source to upload from:: http://trainpix.org ;
  • Did you observe an URL pattern:
    — Yes. Each photo from this site has an individual number from 1 to 145250 (last actual number at 11:50, 12 October 2015 (UTC) is 145250) and is available with link like trainpix.org/photo/<number of photo>. To get the direct url of JPG file:
    • prepend number of photo with zeros to get seven-digit number
    • remove the last digit
    • separate first 6 digits with "/" to get three 2-digit numbers
    • insert this numbers between trainpix.org/photo/ and the number without leading zeros, and append .jpg

For example, the direct file link of photo with number 4 (http://trainpix.org/photo/4) is http://trainpix.org/photo/00/00/00/4.jpg ; for photo with number 12345 (http://trainpix.org/photo/12345) is http://trainpix.org/photo/00/12/34/12345.jpg

• • Do you know whether the site has an API — No
  • What else can ease uploading (is the site valid XHTML, WCM they use…)?
  • Did you contact the site owner? — No

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

Trainpix is Russian photo gallery of railway rolling stock (default language is Russian, the site is also available in English, Ukrainian and Belorussian languages). The first string under photo describes the name of rolling stock (model and number), which should be used as name of file on Commons (also it can be appended with number of photo on this site like bot-uploaded photos from Flickr). The second string describes the place where a photo has been taken. The third string describes author's name and date. In the left part of page, each photo has description tag of license (in Russian — Лицензия), including copyright, zero, by, by-sa, by-nc, by-nc-sa, by-nd, by-nc-nd and mark. Any registered user of this site is available to select license in upload form (screenshot), also it includes Please read before license selection hyperlink to page, which describes Creative Commons 3.0 licenses. I am not understand what means mark license (it's description in upload form is No author rights) and is it simillar to Public Domain, but all photographs with free licenses zero, by, and by-sa should be uploaded on Commons. Note that some numbers are deleted photos (example — http://trainpix.org/photo/1/).

• Which license tag(s) should be applied?
  • {{cc-zero}} — for images with license tag "zero"
  • {{cc-by 3.0}} — for images with license tag "by"
  • {{cc-by-sa 3.0}} — for images with license tag "by-sa"

• Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages?

No

• Do you think a special template should be created?

Maybe. Each rail vehicle on this site has description table with registration railway, model, current condition, etc.

Fæ	2018-02-19 Parsing website. Reading the site was more work than expected due to the nature of security certificates. Samples indicate that perhaps 2% of photographs might have suitable licenses. Vehicle numbers used to create file names will be in Cyrillic, e.g. ТЭП60-0927. Many fields are optional, including a description, so choices need to be made for handling fallbacks. 2018-02-20 Licenses will map to cc-zero, cc-by and cc-by-sa. The versions of cc will be taken into account, i.e. v4.0 should not be used before late 2013. {{Photograph}} will be used as a standard infobox. Filenames will be formatted as File:<vehicle number>, <place> (Trainpix <photoID>).jpg with place in English if available. Where there is no vehicle number, the filename will use the given photograph website title Examples: File:ЭР2К-1116, Россия, Московская область, перегон Лесной Городок - Аэропорт (Trainpix 605).jpg File:ЭР2К-1120, Russia, Moscow region, Krasnoarmeysk station (Trainpix 817).jpg File:Северная железная дорога — Станционные сооружения (Trainpix 2405).jpg As the site is not Commons direct upload url whitelisted, and requires a security certificate, local download is necessary but the reliable urlretrieve in Python cannot be used. A custom secure request uses a binary chunked local download to a ramdisk, and this file is then uploaded. Based on past projects, errors may occur if photographs get large, perhaps > 20MB, though EXIF data is preserved. Upload run started. 15:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC) Non-Russian language entries may be wrongly "lang-ed", e.g. File:27, France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d`Azur, Nice, gare de Nice-Ville (Trainpix 12753).jpg. These seem too rare to attempt a non-obvious automated fix. Where the built (Построен) year can be interpreted, a check is made for a matching locomotive category year. For example File:ВЛ10-1409, Россия, Новосибирская область, перегон Крахаль - Восточная (Trainpix 23379).jpg has been uploaded in Category:1975 locomotives 2018-02-22  Done	NA	53 R Photographs from trainpix.org
