You don't need a Bot with Botflag for 480 files. Pleas use your Main account. --Steinsplitter (talk) 21:37, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for this quick answer. JackPotte (talk) 21:40, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Today I've treated all the French sister projects, but a consensus is now rising to import here the 5,000 licensed images of the English Wikibooks. JackPotte (talk) 20:13, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you run a test batch of ~30 images for this task? --99of9 (talk) 10:52, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done JackPotte (talk) 18:33, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. What do you all think about this suggested improvement to the source link? --99of9 (talk) 06:26, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This should be implanted. --Steinsplitter (talk) 06:29, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This message is a part of http://tools.wmflabs.org/commonshelper/index.php so I can't modify it easily. I propose to let this to the formating bots. JackPotte (talk) 16:00, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I've looked into this particular book a little, and we need even more clarity on the situation. Apparently the 2011 version is cc-by-NC, so we need a clear source with the GFDL. I found this, but I'm not sure how stable that URL will be. --99of9 (talk) 06:34, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And it gets more complicated. Since it was originally licensed as GFDL "1.1 or any later version", relicensing like this is allowed? Can someone check me on this? --99of9 (talk) 00:07, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Moreover, I could easily remove Category:Videos from the Netherlands from the files which already include Category:Videos from Eindhoven. JackPotte (talk) 15:27, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this Pywikipedia's standard transfair script? And i don't see the need for a botflag for image upload bots. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've used MW:Manual:Pywikibot/imagecopy.py. If the bot is visible it will flood several images per minute, and usually that's why they are hidden. JackPotte (talk) 18:48, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Uploadbot by magnus has thousands of uploads and no flag. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:00, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe because it's launched by different people. Apart from that, a quick look to the flagged bots shows some importers (Andrebot, Autobot...) and Commons:Bots#Bot_flag confirms that it's practiced for any mass editions, like on the other wikis I know. JackPotte (talk) 19:19, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a standard script which is not the best, I suggest you write a own one or improve the standard one. And no botflag needed here. The upload rate should be keep low because humans need review every upload. --Steinsplitter (talk) 06:04, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And please use {{User at project}} and not the "only english" version ([1] example) :). --Steinsplitter (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And please implent a standard cleanup --Steinsplitter (talk) 06:14, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, it will take a few days from now. JackPotte (talk) 06:54, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked to modify CommonsHelper in order to avoid to restart this script from zero. JackPotte (talk) 16:37, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@JackPotte: Has there been any updates on this subject? The request has been stalled for a month now, and I'd like to move things forwards a little bit in the coming days, if possible. odder (talk) 08:59, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't make modified the Magnus tool or reinvent it yet. So I propose to remove this vote temporarily from the list, during the time I try to answer to the new specs. JackPotte (talk) 22:05, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As suggested by the requestor, this is going to be closed as stale / not approved. --Krd 17:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
