This page is presently inactive and retained primarily for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you may try using the talk page (though your voice may not be heard) or start a discussion at the Village pump.

This project is under construction.

WikiProject Everyday Life aims to gather photos and video clips of everyday life all over the world (and broader :) ).So finally you can travel all around the world free of charge.

And beside this project Wikimedia wiki's will have more images covering all cities of the world.

Everyday life categories

• Everyday life in Belgrade
• Daily life in Zanjan

Technical recommendations

• Usually, you will make a lot of photos and clips per day of photographing everyday life in your place (20-30 is a lot if photos have a good resolution). Put them in some directory and rename them into something sensible: Instead of having names like "DSC004321.jpg", it is much better to have them named as like "Empire_State_Building_from_West_at_night_1_(2008-04-20).jpg".
• Generate the file with names of the images. On GNU/Linux it may be done by typing: find upload/ -type f > images.txt.
  • File "images.txt" may look like:

• Now, we need some descriptions of images:
  • We need an image to be double licensed (GFDL and CC-BY-SA). So, it will be "hard coded" into the script. If you want to change that, you may do that from the script.
  • Date the picture between parentheses, so program will be able to date the image, too. Note that the format is YYYY-MM-DD.
  • After the name of the file, you may add additional categories after semi colon (;). Comma (,) is a separator for categories. Note that some basic categories, like date and "Everyday life in <your town>" will be added automatically. The file should look something like:

When you finish with marking your photos (or other media), you may start the program gen_upload.py by typing: ./gen_upload.py "<name of the author of the photo>" "<images.txt file>" "<place name>".

• Note that you need to have Pywikipediabot in directory.
