"contributor" versus "author"

Hey- as my user name might lead you to believe, I have recently been doing some work with maps, and I have a quick question about one that you uploaded for us. Was your basis for saying that the author of File:Afghanistan-China Boundary. 4-69. LOC gm70003373.jpg is "United States. Central Intelligence Agency" based on the LOC's record that says "Contributor Names United States. Central Intelligence Agency." ([1])? If so, I think I would like to add something to Wikimedia Commons' statement about the authorship of the map to make it a little bit more precise- maybe "Source of Data: Office of the Geographer, Department of State, United States". I haven't handled a lot of maps from the LOC website yet (I've been working mainly on maps downloaded from the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection), so I don't know the ins and outs of "who made what" etc., but I think this is a relatively important piece of information. What is the right way to handle the authorship of this map? Thanks for any guidance. Geographyinitiative (talk) 04:21, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Metz Brothers in House of History

The Metz Brothers were one of Germany's leading producers of postcards. Shortly after they went bancrupt, the House of History Baden-Württemberg bought their archive including the copyright of the archived items. In November 2019 they uploaded the first batch of Metz photos as follows:

The photos are "CC BY-SA @ Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg" as shown below the keywords in the section "Usage and citation". de:Benutzer:Hdg Bildarchiv seems to be Dr. Stefan Kirchberger of the House of History. He proudly anounced their upload today. Are you interested in mass-uploading their photos? If so, I could help regarding their categorisation. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 14:56, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Do you have any thoughts about File:2019-nCoV-outbreak-timeline.gif which is described as "own work" and lists no sources? It is currently used on 29 projects.

No harassment is intended. You made arguments about requiring the source of data for maps. This is an example of a widely used map with no sources.

Official United Kingdom Parliamentary photographs 2020

Hi Fæ. Can I just ask whether it might be possible for you to mass-upload the new official portraits for the new British parliamentary session? Thanks. AlbanGeller (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Have to rewrite the scraper again, the layout looks different. Will get to it in a while. --Fæ (talk) 22:37, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

OK There also new portraits for members of the House of Lords. AlbanGeller (talk) 09:19, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Done Category:Official United Kingdom Parliamentary photographs 2020. As the site does not give explicit photograph dates, the Artist and Date are being extracted from EXIF. Photographs with an EXIF date found to be before 2019 are skipped on the presumption that they were part of previous uploads. Do not be in a rush to correct typos, as "Photoqrapher" has turned up in the camera EXIF, best to fix that sort of thing when the uploads are complete. As this is at the 'camera' level, easy enough to fix with a bot task.

+ Running Lords in parallel, so both can tick over overnight. There may be metadata reading failures, which seem unpredictable, so multiple runs are needed to sweep up.

this search may help to examine the new additions to the 2019 category.

@Pigsonthewing: Started the project page United Kingdom Parliamentary photographs. This will be a project link in the upload comment, so a good landing page to point people to in the future if there are questions about official status and copyright. You may want to add any blog posts or external recognition in the introduction, it'll help us all keep track. This upload was a bit of a rewrite, but I'll think about putting the code on github, as this is likely to be a regular upload request. --Fæ (talk) 12:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you; and done, Please can you also tag these images with {{Do not crop}}? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:17, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your efforts. I just looked at some of these portraits and think that the colours are much more attractive than those of the earlier ones. Should they be categorized manually? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 08:07, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Yes. Though some autocategorization could be done, it's invariably controversial at large scale, and it would be unclear if adding all 4 crops to every possible category would be worth it. Probably, we should have a category for each MP and relevant categories like political positions held can be parent categories of that. --Fæ (talk) 09:14, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks again Fæ. Can I just ask you please to reupload Official portrait of Lord Strasburger.jpg and Official portrait of Baroness Burt of Solihull.jpg? These filenames had already existed (since deleted to make way for upload) and therefore the batch could not upload the full portraits for these two members. AlbanGeller (talk) 08:43, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Done --Fæ (talk) 09:52, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Can you please also reupload Official portrait of Dehenna Davison MP.jpg for the same reason? AlbanGeller (talk) 08:52, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

So far, the 2020 batch includes, for example, 1094 images by Richard Townshend. Would you agree that's worthy of a category, and perhaps a creator template? We already have Creator:Chris McAndrew from 2017. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:41, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

This can be done, but it feels like overtemplating, given that I probably have twice as many of my own photographs on Commons. --Fæ (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Small collection/large image NYPL bot import task

Hello! I just discovered the New York Public Library collection Archibald Robertson: his diaries and sketches in America, 1762-1780 (associated with Archibald Robertson (artist, born c. 1745)). It contains 57 public domain files with very high resolution TIF images (over 100 mb). If you have the time and interest, since you have experience with NYPL imports, please consider importing this collection with associated jpgs. Thanks again for all you do. Cheers, --Animalparty (talk) 21:34, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

I will be travelling this evening, so don't want to get too distracted, but have set a script from 2016 running on the collection UUID, which is old enough that I have completely forgotten how it works. However, on the first image, the TIFF uploaded but the jpeg from here seemed to not be stashed correctly at the WMF server-side, no idea if that will be a pattern, hopefully not.

This script seems to use NYPL topics to match to Commons categories, which is at best controversial, though it is smart enough to ignore category suggestions which are marked as diffusion cats. As there is not time to play around with the script, and this is a small collection, it would be useful if you could review them as they appear, and trim redundant categories off, like 'British'.

This search will list all the files in this collection.

--Fæ (talk) 12:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

For the record, a second file gave backend-fail-internal: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-swift-eqiad" and then backend-fail-stat: Could not read the status of file, on automated re-try the upload succeeded. These are probably transient errors within the WMF servers, rather than file errors at the NYPL end. So a re-run might succeed in uploading any missing files. --Fæ (talk) 12:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

File:HM The King leaves for Normandy in HMS Arethusa, 16 June 1944 RMG BHC0691.tiff

Hi. I have just been adding Wikidata to some images and I noticed File:HM The King leaves for Normandy in HMS Arethusa, 16 June 1944 RMG BHC0691.tiff has an unusual PD tag. The creator died in 1956, so life +70 copyright would expire in 2027. However, you have tagged it with life +100 (so it wouldn't become PD until 2057). The creator was for a time an official artist of the UK government, so if the image can be established as being created in that role, then {{PD-UKGov}} could apply. Can you please clarify? Thanks. From Hill To Shore (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

I have found two other files with the same issue. File:The Greek cruiser Averoff and escorts RMG BHC1585.tiff and File:HMS Lanner and Salvia under bomb attack in Suda Bay, 1941 RMG BHC1581.tiff. From Hill To Shore (talk) 23:43, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

From Hill To Shore did you look into this thoroughly enough to see that Rowland Langmaid was an official war artist? Do you think, since his war time works were commissioned, by the UK government, these paintings were "works of hire", with the original copyright holder was the UK government? If the copyright was owned by the UK government, wouldn't these have been under crown copyright, which would have expired 26 years ago? Geo Swan (talk) 02:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Geo Swan Yes, I was thorough enough. That is why I suggested it in my original comment. However I am not going to second guess an experienced editor over licensing without first bringing it to their attention. Firstly, there could be an obscure copyright rule I am unaware of as to why the current tag is appropriate. Secondly, if it was an error in a bulk upload, the comment would flag up that it may be worth checking other files uploaded in the same batch. From Hill To Shore (talk) 09:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

The en.wp article says they were an official war artist. All works during the war period would be Crown copyright. Good evidence would be a War Artists Advisory Committee list. PD-Gov would be a better licence. --Fæ (talk) 07:21, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Ministry of Defence art collection says he was the official fleet artist of the Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet from 1941 to 1943, which is supported by statements on individual replica photos of his work at the Imperial War Museum website. I haven't spotted replicas of these three at IWM yet but we have a strong case that Lanner and Salvia were produced during that time as both the location and date of the subject fit. The Greek cruiser painting fits for the location but the dating is obscure. "The King leaves for Normandy" was produced after the time when we have him recorded as an official artist and is also in the wrong theatre. I suspect that he followed Admiral Cunningham back to UK waters when he became first sea lord in October 1943, but we would need something more than a hunch to say he was still an official artist in 1944, when the current sources specifically give an end date of 1943. Do you have any thoughts on where we could obtain that evidence? I'll keep searching in the meantime. From Hill To Shore (talk) 09:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

(Repeating what you said, but was looking in parallel) There are a number of negatives in the IWM archives of Langmaid's paintings. There are copyfraud claims against all of them, but the fact that they were photographed and put in the war archives with the description that these were created as part of the Admiralty official collection or as 'official Navy artist', is an excellent proof that those works are covered by PD UKGov. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/search?query=Rowland+Langmaid&pageSize=30&style=list&filters%5BperiodString%5D%5BSecond+World+War%5D=on Not all have dates, so it's a matter for on-going research, but so long as Langmaid served in the Navy to the end of the war, the 1944 date is reasonable regardless of him changing posts. --Fæ (talk) 12:52, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Based on the PhD thesis by Brian Foss (UCL 1991), "Roland Langmaid" [sic] was not listed by the WAAC, but was given the title "Fleet Artist in the Eastern Mediterranean" by local command. It may seem a bit circular, but paintings under that appointment in the field would still have fallen under the MOI WW2 powers (operating until March 1946).

Whether this is 'sufficient doubt' to worry about copyright is not 100% clear, but if any of these paintings are held in national archives rather than being bought and sold on the open market, I think there is a very high expectation that anything that looks like war art in content by Langmaid up to the end of WW2 can be safely considered to be PD-UKGov under the MOI powers. These powers were not tied to WAAC lists, and there is nothing in the interpretation of government wartime powers that means that a 'local' appointment is any less official than a WAAC appointment. Any DR or similar would seem overly hypothetical based on the evidence we can get hold of, and that level of research is sufficient and reasonable under UK copyright in the absence of any counter assertions. --Fæ (talk) 14:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Official House of Lords photographs

Hi Fæ. Can you possibly run another batch for parliamentary peers? For instance, these portraits of Lord Blunkett (dated before 2019) have not yet been uploaded to Commons. Thanks again. AlbanGeller (talk) 11:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Running, and avoiding duplicates (so files like File:Official portrait of Lord Foster of Bath.jpg will have to be 'harmonized' manually with the other crops). The prize for worst automated official crop goes to File:Official portrait of Baroness Barran crop 3.jpg.

Done, but this did mean tweaking the code back to overwrite deleted pages, which needs to ignore API warnings. If the numbers are one or two images, it's probably better to download without using the batch process. --Fæ (talk) 12:42, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Fae, This is apparently an old Amsterdam signboard that is painted by Cuyp on both sides. For some reason only one side has been uploaded by the Rijksmuseum (twice, including the one uploaded by the Amsterdam museum) and I am considering uploading the other side from the RKDimages record, but it is such a crappy b&w image that I thought maybe you might be able to figure out whether the other side is available online - I searched and couldn't find it. Here is what it is supposed to look like: RKDimages 45369. Thanks in advance! I will either split the Qid into 2 for a "painting series", which it technically is I suppose, or make a separate new Qid "pendant" for Signboard of a wineshop: tasting the wine (one side); barreling the wine (other side) (Q17324156).

I've been migrating some PD images from English Wikipedia and I have stumbled across a lower resolution duplicate that you uploaded in Commons; File:French Fashion Photograph LACMA M.2008.40.1377.jpg. I was going to download a copy of en:File:Henri Manuel - French Fashion Photograph - Google Art Project.jpg, overwrite your file on Commons and then request deletion of the :en: file as a duplicate. However, on trying to replace your image with the higher resolution file, I get a big red warning message from Commons asking if I am certain that I am making the right decision. I am now second guessing myself. Is this the correct way to proceed or would you recommend an alternative approach? Thanks. From Hill To Shore (talk) 22:03, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

For an archive photograph, before overwriting you have to be certain that they are not different prints or different negatives or scans of prints with any apparent aging between them (as can happen with later prints from the same negative film). In this case, based on defects in the print and scratches, they look like the same scan of the same print just at different resolutions. In this case, overwrite seems justifiable, but do add the Google Art project as an additional source in the description. --Fæ (talk) 22:34, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Image corruption detected in File:"Anatomia per uso...del disegno...", B. Genga, 1691 Wellcome L0009709.jpg

Deutsch | English | +/−

Hello Fæ, it appears that the version of File:"Anatomia per uso...del disegno...", B. Genga, 1691 Wellcome L0009709.jpg which you uploaded 2014-10-06T21:13:08Z is broken or corrupt. Please review the image and attempt to correct this issue by uploading a new version of the file. TheSandBot will re-review this image again in 30 days. If it is still corrupt at that time, then the file may be nominated for deletion. This is most likely to happen when a substantial portion of the image is corrupt. Thank you,

TheSandBot (talk) 13:29, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

@TheSandDoctor: I firmly disagree with automatic speedy deletions being created for old files with possible corruption issues. Over the years there are several of these which should be kept. Could you link to the bot approval discussion for this task?

The notification here fails to link to the file, this should be fixed. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Have reverted the notification on the file itself, as it is perfectly usable as displayed. The revert is a slight test, just checking robustness. --Fæ (talk) 13:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Bots/Requests/TheSandBot 2 discussion. Linking is definitely something that should be done and I shall adjust that on the template now. Thank you for the suggestion. The files are by no means automatically deleted and still require (human) admin review. Would the automatic DR nomination be more acceptable in your view? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 13:55, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) What do you mean about "testing robustness"? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 13:55, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

@Krd: for comment.

Raising to CSD would be poor practice. In this example, the image has been happily hosted on Commons for six years. Though this very high-resolution scan has a glitch, it is usable as is and in cases like this, we run the risk of slightly thoughtless deletion when the sources are dead links (as is the case here). The Wellcome has significantly reorganized their online service in the intervening 6 years and were the new scan different, we would want to keep this 2014 version even if the bottom of the image is corrupted.

Automated CSDs or DRs are generally to be avoided, a housekeeping category or similar, such as Category:Images uploaded by Fæ (reload needed) would be sufficient and not risk unnecessarily losing reusable content.

WRT robustness, I would be interested to see if the bot task re-asserts the notice. --Fæ (talk) 14:02, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I shall await Krd's comment. As for robustness, the notice is just for humans as the bot has an internal database where everything is logged and it works exclusively off of that; it won't try and re-tag the image as it has already "seen" its current version, as identified by its SHA-1 hash value. The bot is still under self imposed testing and is being rewritten somewhat over the next couple of days, actually. At current, the followup script which would check identified images and see if they are still corrupt is not running and will not be run until this discussion has concluded.. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 14:13, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Rather than local logs, to control bot escalating actions, I find it reliable to check the page or file histories. Testing the set of user names that have edited is relatively cheap. --Fæ (talk) 16:27, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Having received a second "30 day" warning from this bot job, could you please disable it completely. Having sampled 3 tagged files from the bot contribution history which are not my uploads, I would disagree with tagging all 3 as they would be entirely unhelpful speedies, in some cases with the uploaders being obviously absent, uploads being made years ago, and some being cross-wiki uploads where the original uploader may never have logged in to this project. At this point, I no longer have confidence in the approval review for this task being sufficiently evidence-based, and it seems to need to be reopened with the actual edit history to discuss due to their negative outcome.

@Krd: FYI. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 18:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Not touching the file to see what happens. It's usable as is, and the source is long dead. Not a deletion prospect. --Fæ (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

The bot operator is picking up some false positives on his talk page. From Hill To Shore (talk) 21:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

The bottom of the file had some corruption. Cropping out a few pixels using the crop tool worked and now it is identified as being non-corrupt. Updated in database etc. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 20:22, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

If you are personally going to be repairing these files, then put them in a "to repair" housekeeping category. Giving a 30 day ultimatum for files where the source is dead and uploaders are no longer around, is not the way to handle this. --Fæ (talk) 20:29, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Uncrop needs

Hi Fae. This file File:Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building - a general reference work (1912) (14595391917).jpg (and some others) need to be uncrop.

Category:Speedy deletions for files over 10 years old

Hi! I think this category is a great idea. It makes it easy to spot old files that need someone to look at them. I made a few edits like this one just as a test. Do you agree we can remove the category once source / author has been added? --MGA73 (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes. If the file is still found in speedy categories it may be re-added. There is no automatic removal at the moment. --Fæ (talk) 10:45, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion means only one thing: This file should be deleted asap. The category sais just one thing: This file should be deleted asap, because it's too old. If you had anything else in mind with this category, it's completely wrong named. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 15:14, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Given User:Faebot/old speedies, what name would you suggest? --Fæ (talk) 15:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Anything without the clearly defined word speedy in it. Maintenance would be the first word that comes to my mind.

Nevertheless, I can't even come up with any reason why the two files by me have been tagged by this scaremongering havoc-run at all: File:Martin Luther Dampftraktor in 2002.jpg and File:Altteile des Martin Luther Dampftraktor in 2012.jpg are missing nothing.

The picture, you use as an example on that page User:Faebot/old_speedies has as well everything necessary to keep it from being speedy deleted. What's this extreme scaremongering good for? Why did you use the complete misleading term speedy deletion for files, that are in no way in any risk of being deleted at all, let alone speedy? Who do you want to scare away? Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 15:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

The thumbnail example is in a subcategory of Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. Jcb's history of deletions shows that there are administrators that will and do delete files with "missing" sources, without actually reading the image page.

With regard to the example, I am unsure what triggered the file being found. Files must be in one of the subcategories of Candidates for speedy deletion. Here's the breakdown automatically generated and used by Faebot:

The source of the example picture is plain and clear on the file page, if some havoc running deletionist admin would delete it, s/he should be de-sysoped asap. My two pictures, the ones that I became aware of this havoc run, are in absolutely no such category, they were only briefly in it, because you placed the scaremongering cat on them. This is a maintenance category, not a deletionist category. The name is grossly misleading. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 15:59, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Backtracking is impossible, but the logic is that one of the above must be a parent category. If that has gone wrong, I am really unsure why but it might be related to the SDC category.

To avoid doubt, I'll change the code to post the relevant speedy deletion subcategory in the edit comment. It means rewriting the way the main loop works, so it may take a while.

Maybe a clearer name would be "Files uploaded over 10 years ago in a speedy deletion subcategory". --Fæ (talk) 16:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

If they were really in there, that could be OK, my two pictures were never ever in any trouble from the deletionists, not even those too lazy to read the page itself, not just the machine readable stuff. I can't say whether any other collateral damage was done with any other pictures like my two, and I won't look through every pic by hand. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 16:28, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

It's also true that the longer I have spent looking at these Speedy subcategories, the less sense they make. I have removed Category:Orphaned talk pages as a subcat, mainly because that actually includes Category:Commons orphaned talk pages that should not be speedily deleted‎ which could not be more obviously not a speedy deletion subcategory. As a result in the re-write I'll look at being very restrictive with which categories are scanned. --Fæ (talk) 16:33, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

For unknown reasons, the files have different SHA1 values, and so the mediawiki API will not return duplicate errors. There are more complex ways of finding these duplicates, but that would be a special project. It's also not clear why this apparent bug exists within the LOC API. --Fæ (talk) 09:12, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

L. De Man - a Dutch Marine artist, and two incorrect uploads

Hi Fæ, Your upload of File:A Bear Hunt in the Arctic RMG BHC0974.tiff is incorrectly uploaded. The image should be flipped. The fault lay in the past with RMG / NMM I think. The correct image can be found here on Commons with the wrong name and details. See File:Royal Yachts, one Ketch Rigged and one Smack Rigged RMG BHC0979.tiff Again that too was uploaded incorrectly for probably the same reason. See the Museum site for confirmation.

Additionally you will notice that the latter file is incorrect, it should in fact be this image at the museum site [Royal Yachts, one Ketch Rigged and one Smack Rigged]. I don't know if it's lurking elsewhere on commons under another name. Obviously all the other details for both files are correct, just the wrong images are in place.

Question: Why do I have to bother you to make the corrections? The server is not letting me do it? Why? Regards. Broichmore (talk) 11:08, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

You may be seeing the artwork overwrite flag? This affects everyone and is, frankly, a pain in the arse. If you are seeing some other error, I'm not sure what it is. --Fæ (talk) 11:11, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Yes I saw it and pushed for ignore and carry on, to no avail. Broichmore (talk) 11:19, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Ignoring should work. You may want to make a separate upload, then raise it on AN for a sysop to do the overwrite. In my view, as the largest uploader of artwork files on this project, the artwork overwrite flag is badly implemented and trusted accounts should not suffer blacklisting uploads like this. --Fæ (talk) 11:21, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

There's an Admin who accused me (incorrectly) of vandalism, so much bs, has he put a block on me of some description? Broichmore (talk) 11:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

No, the log on your account is blank. --Fæ (talk) 11:50, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

I've fixed almost everything, in Category:L. De Man, except for the replacing the tiff, of [Royal Yachts, one Ketch Rigged and one Smack Rigged] which I don't have access to get, or am I doing something wrong. Do you have special privileges at NMM? Also now that this awful BREXIT business is finished, are you now going to resume visitations to the Penderel?

I have spoken in real life with parts of the NMM, but I do not have special access. To download the TIFF you have to use their IIP image server and dezoom them, for which you can probably use the process at User:Fæ/dezoomify for a one-off. The Ophir tool renders a PNG, but it's still an option.

As for 'spoons, I'll not be walking into any for the foreseeable future. --Fæ (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. So I'll have to wait for the 'spoons' and get lucky for someone who can explain. I'm still on NoScript.

However, might it be the case they have withdrawn access to tiff?

Have a look at File:The capture of HMS 'Tickler', 4 June 1808 RMG BHC0584.jpg which I just downloaded, and have a look at the folder Category:HMS Tickler (ship, 1804).

Earlier you had downloaded a black and white tiff from the same URL. They seem to, on occasion augment / revise data / upgrade images and sometimes flip them / etc. Clearly there are also many new images and upgrades on the NMM site that we don't have. Do you scrape for such changes? Can you?

Another thing we don't catch on their pages is their cells "Object connections: example Vessels. Regards Broichmore (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

While I'm at it can I ask, why you upload tiff's as opposed to PNG's. I ask because I'm having to make a similar decision, and would value your advice on it. Thanks. Broichmore (talk) 19:12, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

File:Mt. Rainier from Roof Garden, Hotel Lincoln, Seattle, Wash (NYPL b12647398-68897).tiff

What (if anything) is the basis for 1898 as a date for File:Mt. Rainier from Roof Garden, Hotel Lincoln, Seattle, Wash (NYPL b12647398-68897).tiff? Looks based on a photograph, not just an architect's visualisation drawing, but the building had not been built at that date (completed 1900, burned in 1920). - Jmabel ! talk 06:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

The date is simply pulled from the NYPL catalog. In this case the date appears to be for the collection not the item. Hence "1898: Issued (Approximate)" is actually the earliest date for objects in the collection, so if we can deduce more based on the building itself, that can at least be added. The dates for the postcards should probably all be adjusted to a date range or at least qualified to say this is the earliest date.

As the upload was 2016, I have no precise memory of the mappings used, and the current NYPL catalog page looks very different to what it was back then and may be displaying different data. --Fæ (talk) 07:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

About what I thought. Sounds like if we can still identify what was in that batch, anything that says 1898 should instead say {{other date|after|1898}}. I'll correct the date for the one I was looking at. - Jmabel ! talk 07:13, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, I notice, in looking at half a dozen of these Detroit Publishing Co. postcards, that they have serial numbers. Maybe those numbers are in strict chronological order, in which case a category listing them in that order would allow interpolating from the dated ones to date all of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim.henderson (talk • contribs)

The categories already have keys by image ID. I hestitate to replace those keys. However I am running a routine to add postcard numbers from the NYPL catalog to the description, ref search. This makes it easier to do some smart report later, without having to read from external sites.

As a test, it may be that DPC>5000 ⇒ year>=1901 and DPC>6000 ⇒ year>=1902 --Fæ (talk) 17:04, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, and I see you have started adding "Postcard series number" from the publisher's printed serial number. Very good. Clearly the files already have many numbers, but what I failed to notice is that they are already sorted chronologically, more or less, because that's how the "NYPLb" number was assigned. This suggest that all year I have been going about this the wrong way. Instead of continuing what someone else started, by making and filling geographic subcats, I should have started with annual subcats, partly to break down the large category that hinders my operation with slow DSL and other impediments, and partly as inboxes for geographic and other category work. It might help if the sources and uses of the various numbers were described on a page, perhaps the Detroit Publishing category talk page or some other that the ignorant are likely to stumble across. Jim.henderson (talk) 19:44, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Detroit postcard numbers

Looking at the first 2000 DPC numbers, filtering for dates (and end of range dates where they appear), gives:

Year	Min	Max
1901	132	497
1902	5011	7636
1903	6002	6999
1904	60523	8704
1906	9011	9999
1908	11000	12157
1909	12026	12999
1915	60007	60538
1918	71002	71981

Empirically that's probably very good evidence to use the postcard number to deduce a latest date of publication where this is missing, noting that some have ranges like 1905-1915, so choosing "1915" is definitely a latest date that might be refined later.

A place to keep specific dating tips for the NYPL collection is at User:Fæ/Project list/NYPL, it may even be worth a shortcut link. --Fæ (talk) 11:50, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, after identifying an error in the categorization of File:Plain-towns of Italy - the cities of old Venetia (1911) (14768666615).jpg, I live in Rovigo and it was not a building in my city, I found on the web that it referred to that book and to the house of Francesco Petrarca, located in Arquà Petrarca, province of Padua, Veneto, Italy. The missing part is here but I find it difficult to upload with the correct source and license, even copying from the part uploaded by you. can you upload it yourself and combine the two photos to make a historical document useful for the project? Thanks for your attention. :-) --Threecharlie (talk) 11:09, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Here's a way of doing it:

Go to the IA page plaintownsofital01will#page/n711 to view the page you want
Keep pressing the zoom-in button until it goes no larger, this should probably be the maximum stored scanned jpeg image
Right-click to download to your local machine, upload to Commons
Use the existing other page to create a new image page and adapt the page numbers to point to the right page

Joining the two pages can be a bit of a digital restoration exercise and may be worth it if it's going to illustrate a Wikipedia article, even though the center strip of the photograph may be missing. The full joined-up image should be created as a new page.

National Maritime Museum - Greenwich permission statement

Hi Fae, Please refer to the RMG / NMM permission statement that we often include with an image on the Commons uploads. As follows:

"The original artefact or artwork has been assessed as public domain by age, and faithful reproductions of the two dimensional work are also public domain. No permission is required for reuse for any purpose.

The text of this image record has been derived from the Royal Museums Greenwich catalogue and image metadata. Individual data and facts such as date, author and title are not copyrightable, but reuse of longer descriptive text from the catalogue may not be considered fair use. Reuse of the text must be attributed to the "National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London" and a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 license may apply if not rewritten. Refer to Royal Museums Greenwich copyright."

Of course I want to stretch this to justify uploading the text from the museum website that come with each image, as CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 is obliquely referred to. What is your opinion on the matter?

Come to that what value is there in even quoting this permission statement, if I am not allowed to upload the main text?

ESA followup / Spacemedia

Hi Fæ! A notice to let you know I see the end of reviewing Category:ESA images (review needed), only 600 to go! I am especially happy about the categorization I made for Category:Photos by HRSC :) Also, I wrote a major monitoring/import tool to improve the categorization of the next ESA batch, and to extend the concept to all space agencies providing free media. The tool is called Spacemedia, you can have a look here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/spacemedia/ . The first version is almost complete and I submitted today my request for permission: Commons:Bots/Requests/OptimusPrimeBot. vip (talk) 23:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

The main headache I never sorted out was a unique /media/ ID that could distinguish between duplicates or variations. Happy to see you pay this mass upload fresh attention. --Fæ (talk) 13:25, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Auckland Museum

Hi, I noticed that some files from Auckland Museum were not uploaded, such as the four images titles quoted in the field "other versions" of File:Zenatia acinaces (Quoy and Gaimard, 1835) (AM MA33175-4).jpg, I think this comes from the fact that all files are not from the same domain. api.aucklandmuseum.com made a successful upload, and media.api.aucklandmuseum.com seems to have failed (File:Zenatia acinaces (Quoy and Gaimard, 1835) (AM MA33175-2).jpg), both are available there and have indeed 2 different domains. I already asked that this last domain be white listed, it will be available soon, maybe tomorrow. You may want to start a new batch upload if you wish. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 11:00, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

In the coming days/weeks I will upload few hundred or a few thousand of images of marine invertebrates that are currently missing, and that I could take care of categorizing. I will try to respect the conventional form of titles for that the series started by your batch-upload be completed properly (see example above). If you have a problem that I upload these few hundred images, and you prefer to do it in a more global way and in your own way, please lel me know. Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

You are correct, it probably is the different domains that are an issue. I have set off a re-run but I think it takes a few days to complete. At some point, I'll have a look at an example record and see how to add to the batch process.

Take care with the media releases. The copyright statement at the object level is not necessarily the same at the media file level. --Fæ (talk) 13:10, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

oos-tagged Flickr uploads

Hi Fae, when processing the speedy-queue, I've found a number of uploads (not own, from Flickr accounts) of yours to be speedy-tagged for being OOS or personal images. Though overall I agree with that grading, I just wanted to hear your own assessment.

--Túrelio (talk) 18:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Happy to see more cogdogblog's photos filtered out as oos. This at 3 years ago was probably my last large upload from Flickr, and though I was selective about which albums to upload, there was a lot of unfortunate noise in this particular stream that was not immediately obvious. --Fæ (talk) 18:51, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Historic England

Have you had any luck getting PD images from the Historic England website? I'd like this set, but have had no luck with dezoomify. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:51, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

I think I investigated a couple of years ago, being fairly disgusted at the copyfraud.

Looking again, the dezoomed images are scrambled, served to browser memory as blobs like blob:https://historicengland.org.uk/7c1e6280-7a1b-472a-9b6b-df9878ca0267. This can be worked around, emulating a browser in an 'insecure' mode and grabbing the image. There's probably another way to capture the URI for the data that looks like data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4gJASUNDX1BST0ZJTEUA... then decode from base64 to the jpeg. I have done this example by using chrome's inspection tool to get the URI, then pasted it by hand to an online decoder and saved the result in the normal way.

It may also be that the unscrambled file is passed to the browser in the 'sfi' files which are passed back like https://images.smartframe.io/27025fea9afa38753501b02dbd8a40f2/cvs01_01_001/1280w.sfi (SafeFolder Encrypted File?). This example is only very slightly larger than the scrambled jpeg that I've uploaded (451k vs 452k).

My presumption is that the 'unscrambling' must happen as part of the view rendering by the browser, but I may be missing some other trick to this. The zoom process looks like it's some variation of dzi which is specifically mentioned in the 'smartframe' JSON.

Anyway, spent about an hour analysing it, it looks feasible to work around, though I'm not planning right now to actually crack it. Considering I live in the same country as H.E. it's probably better that I only analyse, in the same way as any good faith white-hat would do from academic interest. --Fæ (talk) 07:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Good grief! But thank you. I've submitted an FoI request for the images; let's see how that goes. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

FYI, did a bit more reading about the smartframe.io image hosting system. It's a paid host that provides external hosting. The thumbnails are served as direct links so easily downloadable, but the deep zoom images are protected.

However as mentioned before, as the images are actually displayed at full size at the client end browser, the easiest work around to this customized system is for a program to extract the image from browser memory (it's a blob) and save to a local file. Using the base64 URI is a dead end as the image is always a 'mid' size version rather than the original.

This is not something I'm set up to do. Selenium used to work on my macmini, but have failed to get this sorted on my Ubuntu laptop. It may be a long term project at some point, but this is already one of the background jobs that has waited for over a year. --Fæ (talk) 09:36, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Rijksmuseum uploads

Hi, I'm not sure to what degree you're involved with Rijksmuseum uploads and categorisation, but just wondering: For the Wellcome collection, categories were created like "Portraits in the Wellcome collection", is the plan to do something similar for the rijksmuseum? Since they've come online, I've found that a lot of the Wellcome portraits (my pet project :)) have others for the category in the Rijksmuseum collection. So while I'm at it, I can add that type of cat to those too. Just not sure where to ask if that's the plan, or whether to leave it as is. Thanks for your help. -- Deadstar (msg) 13:24, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Batch uploading/Art of Japan in the Rijksmuseum was in 2014. It was a test of GWT while we were still developing it, and no doubt a lot has been improved by others in the years since. No plans to run these again, mainly as Rijks gets a lot of attention by WMNL and others which is fair enough and I don't like stepping on others' toes. --Fæ (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Automatic updating of media?

Hi Fæ! As you are an expert in uploading bots, I'd like to ask you if there is an easy method to update many files in an efficient way. I created 120 files in Category:Diagrams based on WHO COVID-19 situation reports and update each of them by hand every week. Since this is rather tedious, I'd like to (semi-)automatize it. Is there any bot that, given e.g. a source directory on my local computer, will upload each file from there to commons, to update the file of the same name? Many thanks in advance. Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 17:02, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

If you know python, then you could crontab a script using mw:pywikibot and never worry about it again.

If you want something off the shelf, then Commons:Upload_tools#Pattypan is probably the most popular way of doing this semi-automatically (I am no expert in these tools). --Fæ (talk) 18:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Almost 50,000 images

The Rotterdam Museum hosts 48,929 images that are freely licensed on their website. Is there a page where people can list museum collections or just large (free) image databanks to be imported to Wikimedia Commons? Do you already have a huge upload backlog? Otherwise I'll try to find a place where I can list the website so people know that most images can be freely imported from here. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:55, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Had a brief look and it seems interesting and the use of CC0 + CC-BY-SA is clearly stated. Some 20th century objects might not be free enough for Commons despite the claim of CC-BY-SA, so an upload project might exclude those rather than making presumptions. It may be worth investigating the open data API that they have put their collection out to, rather than just scraping the home website, so that will be an initial detour. I'll add this to my backlog, which means it may take a long time to get to it.

Generally COM:BATCH is where requests can be raised but it has been virtually inactive for a couple of years as the number of volunteers interested in following through on recommendations has declined. --Fæ (talk) 13:28, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

LOC and Flickr Commons

You did an amazing job uploading all the LOC images and adding in LOC metadata. We now have the ability to match those photos to their entry at Flickr Commons. For instance at https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/49949210102/in/photostream/ we have information on the exact date and exact location of the event pictured from crowd sourcing and matching the people present to an article in a newspaper on a swim meet. The article mentions the 4 people displayed in the photos before and after this one. Prior to my update, the image was dated as "1900", we now know it was exactly July 23, 1922. Can we link the Commons image to Flickr Commons by adding a link to the Flickr url? Both websites have in common "ggbain.34632". I added the link already to this example. The LOC adds 50 images each week looking for crowd sourced content. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Mass upload of CCE volumes to Commons...

Prompted by https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/publishers-sue-internet-archive-over-massive-digital-lending-program/

Would it be possible to pull the Catalog of Copyright Entries scans in the relevant collection at Internet Archive to Commons en-masse?

https://archive.org/details/copyrightrecords?&sort=-date

Ideally as soon as possible. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

The link is timing out, so currently no as I cannot examine it. I'll try again later in the day. Fæ (talk) 09:38, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

It's back. Will take a look. Fæ (talk) 13:50, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Category:Catalogs of Copyright Entries.

However there are unexpected upload problems with large files on the WMF side. This may be temporary, but it's a hold up. --Fæ (talk) 20:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Aisde... Some of the volumes not on IA are available on Hathitrust. -

examples (for 1978)- http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015058364194 http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015058364186 being the renewals for that year.

I haven't compliled a full list of the Hathitrust volumes but might in the following days..ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Fae: Thanks - It seems some volumes have not been uploaded (despite being in the list).. Problems with uploading big file on Commons? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:06, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Internet Archive and scanned Public Domain works (possible to generate a list of Institutional contributors?)

@Nemo bis: As you are aware (see linked news item in the CCE mass uploade request), Internet Archive potentially has some legal issues ahead.

As it would be near impossible for Commons to mirror the entirety of all the confirmedly public domain works on https://archive.org/details/books , or comeup with a way of mass uploading them to Commons, I am asking if it would be possible to generate a list of institutional contributors, with a view to such institutions being contacted to request back (digtial) copies of public domain works they have contributed to "The Internet Archive" so that "appropriate" access to them is maintained if there is disruption to the main Internet Archive site due to the ongoing legal issues.

I appreciate this strictly speaking isn't Wikimedia related but as archive.org is a source for a fair chunk for material on Commons and Wikisource, it would be nice to develop a backup plan, even an ad-hoc one. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:34, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

In the sidebar for the Books interface it is possible to use the Collections filter to find some of the institutional contributors. However, extracting over 50 pages of these manually is beyond the manual efforts of a single contributor. Perhaps there's an API or "web-scrape" method of getting these names and Links , which can then be used alongside other means to find appropriate contacts..

I have a further list of pre 1950 volumes, that I can post once the issues with uploading works with large numbers of pages is resolved. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:19, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

For convenience I'm pointing the original uploads at User talk:Fæ/CCE volumes, which is easier to keep track as discussions change or get archived. The same Phab task will probably apply to any large PDFs regardless of source. --Fæ (talk) 09:59, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Dolgellau pics

I just wanted to thank you for the two early Dolgellau / Frondirion raiwlay pics. I have taken the liberty of adding some information which I hope is correct. If I am right, the date is a little earlier, at 1869. Thanks again. Afterbrunel (talk) 11:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if you know any GLAM contacts, but your name was recommended. ....

Thank you for uploading all those CCE volumes! The draft message below was one I was one I was considering asking someone appropriate on Commons to forward to GLAM contacts, that have contributed public domain material to Internet Archive. I would prefer it was someone from within the GLAM projects community, as my previous attempts on this may have been ineffectual (or even counter-productive) due to inept communication skills, and thus I would not feel happy doing any further contacting myself. I've got no objections to you making use of a suitably edited wording yourself.

My apologies in writing to you directly on this,
As you may be aware, certain publishers have decided to take a more "aggressive" stance towards the "Internet Archive". ( https://blog.archive.org/2020/06/01/four-commercial-publishers-filed-a-complaint-about-the-internet-archives-lending-of-digitized-books/ and https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/publishers-sue-internet-archive-over-massive-digital-lending-program/ ). I am more than a little "disappointed" with the stance these publishers have taken given the extraordinary circumstances facing many libraries and archives at present, and would hope that you will also be making appropriate representations about this issue.
My other reason for contacting you, is that whilst unlikely, a 'take-down' of the Internet Archive, however temporary would be potentially disruptive, to readers and users, like myself that make use of the vast collections of public domain material that the Internet Archive provides access to. It would be useful to have a 'backup' in place.
I am therefore going to politely but strongly suggest, that in respect of material you have been or are able to confirm as being in the public domain (taking into due consideration copyright terms of other jurisdictions such as Canada and the United Kingdom), you actively consider uploading such public domain material "in parallel" (as well as to the Internet Archive) to other archives and sites that are working to make the public domain accessible to others. One such site being Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org). I am recommending Wikimedia Commons, because public domain material uploaded to it, can be made use of very quickly on many other Wikimedia sites like Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org) and Wikisource (en.wikisource.org).
If you were also able to consider other potential projects in relation to Wikimedia sites (see https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM), if you have not already done so it would be very highly desirable.
Let's keep the public domain and knowledge, free and accessible, with a fully supported context for future generations!

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:49, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: any thoughts on who and how? The WMUK chapter has recently said they wanted to be more involved, maybe this is something their staff might take on? Fæ (talk) 16:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Indeed they might. Also The Wikipedia Library team at WMF would be the obvious point of contact there. I suggest a novice-friendly anding page on Commons be created; we (I) can then post links to it, to suitable Facebook groups and mailing lists Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:40, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Also making a note here of https://blog.archive.org/2020/06/10/temporary-national-emergency-library-to-close-2-weeks-early-returning-to-traditional-controlled-digital-lending/ ( I appreciate Wikimedians don't get involved in "politics" but the paragraph about Ben S. should hit a nerve.).

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Scans of primary and secondary sources on Archive.org

Well, the use of a script to mass upload "groups" of IA content was kind of what the Bot request I made elsewhere was about.

A variant or extension of it would be a script that identified links to scanned works in citations on Wikipedia (and other WMF projects) and assuming the licensing was acceptable (typically pre 1923 US publication.) uploaded appropriate scans to Commons semi-automatically, if the relevant scans had not already been uploaded.

That said, such a task might be impossible to automate. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Of course if you ever wanted to attempt to get every "appropriately licensed", commons compatible pre 1923 work, onto Commons, I can't stop you! You might need a bigger server though! ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:32, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Requested server side upload for the remaining CCE volumes...

Given the continued issues with the upload of larger PDF files,I've put in a request for these to be uploaded server-side.

See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255362

If this was what you "brute-force" scripts were already doing then I apologise, but your comments on phabricator much appreciated. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Direct url upload is server-side, so it may make no difference. I have also experimented with client-side but got reports of 'memory error' and had no success.

The upload task is still looping, but will not hang if someone else uploads the file in the meantime. There are some 'residual' files that seem very resistant to being uploaded, but I'm still hoping it's a question of probability, not that some will always fail.

List from one of the long running loops, showing how many tries until successfully uploaded, with 2 files in their fifth attempt. Attempts frequently take up to 70 minutes each to time out:

Just worked out those residuals were files you had uploaded using a different method. Obviously the duplicate error is not being correctly returned from the API, which acts like a black box for these large files. I have reset the loop so it will set up with a fresh list, to take into account existing uploads. --Fæ (talk) 08:18, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Inbetween time in the garden, speeding up the brute-force method by adding a time-out multiprocess method to avoid the 70 minute hanging and presuming that after 3 minutes it's either worked or failed. Firstly running on the Packard Campus collection. This means that retries will happen much faster. --Fæ (talk) 13:07, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

If you cannot list any, then please avoid my talk page, as this is unhelpful and appears unnecessarily hostile, thanks. As Wikimedia Commons' most active individual uploader of images, I have uploaded tens of thousands of images that were later deleted, this still amounts to a fraction of 1% of these files and the track record of project success and steps taken to avoid problems is best practice (see my user page).

User Research - Looking for volunteers

Hello @Fæ:

For a current research project we are looking for active community members in Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons who are interested in filling out a survey and participating in an interview. The aim of the research is to identify opportunities for participation and access for new volunteers in the Wikimedia projects. For this purpose we would like to learn from the experiences of the already active community members and find out success factors for participation in the projects. Participation includes filling out a preliminary survey, a self-study and an interview. It would be great, if you would take part in this with a focus on Wikimedia Commons, especially as you are active on Commons not only with uploading photographs but uploading data from archives.

If you are interested in participating, simply fill out this survey. The participants in the interviews will be selected on the basis of the answers in order to be able to consider as many different perspectives as possible.

All selected interview partners will receive a book or photo voucher of 25 euros as a thank you.

Feel free to forward this call to other people you think might share interesting experiences about Commons. If you have any questions you can of course contact me or check the project page :) On the Project Page you can also find more information.

Category:Henry G. Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection

You are applying the "Before 1925" criterion? Just checking. Also some of these IIRC might be of UK origin and thus different rules would apply.

And thank you for listing the collections you are "pulling" into Commons. :) Any possibility of listing the "batch" query as well an appropriate sub-query? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:02, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Where a PD-US license is used these are double checked for the maximum year mentioned and must be < 1925.

In addition for processing purposes they may also be filtered by arbitrary search years, like < 1895, but that's a way of handling a large Collection, not actually a separate query. --Fæ (talk) 15:11, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

There were some other collections on IA that it would be a shame to loose (Such as the efforts of Southampton University with respect to a number of older UK 'official' publications), but those can't be hosted on Commons for licensing reasons (the originals being crown copyright). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:19, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Try emailing IA. They will keep archives and there may be ways to access any that go offline in the future for the purposes of working with Wikimedia projects. --Fæ (talk) 15:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

I am ahead of you on that, I did actually send their contact e-mail a suggestion about mirroring the public domain content on Commons. I didn't go into further depth about material which was UK crown copyright though. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Deletion request "Mongoloid"

I was so distressed when I saw that the first deletion request Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Average_East-Eurasian_ancestry_(Mongoloid).png had been declined. But thanks to your efforts and commitment some common sense returned to the discussion. Commons should not be used as a means to introduce harmful fringe theories into small and under-watched Wikis.

ShakespeareFan00 told me in IRC you might want to see this. If not, simply ignore. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 14:23, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

The batch upload is looping over the 'residuals'. Each of the remaining files has probably had over 20 attempts to upload the document. It nearly matches your list apart from a couple of oddities. The differences seem to be where (A) the file was uploaded by someone else after the batch started, or (perhaps) (B) where a file was missed during scraping. As some are still successfully uploading even after several days of trying, the loop is being left to carry on with the handful left, though it's just been reset while responding to cater for type A.

Nice use of command line calls.

Currently in the loop:

IA mirroring...

Added another suggestion, in case other people want to help mirror other collections. User_talk:Fæ/CCE_volumes#Suggestions_for_Collection_Mirrors

I would have no objections if you 'upgraded' the IA mirroring to a formal project proposal, with the relevant scripts in an appropriate toolforge repository. Any semi-automated tool for other uploaders to use these scripts would I think need some kind of access control, or appropriate flags, (like is done with Bot flags and MP3). (Aside: Is there a user flag for "institutional-mass uploader"? ) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

CRS Reports...

There may be a problem with some of these:- Commons:Village_pump/Technical#IA's_source_of_Congressional_Research_Service_reports,_and_removal_of_front_pages...

In that the front pages might need to be removed, if the files are still acceptable to be hosted on Commons.

I would suggest pausing the batch, until the VP discussion concludes. Sorry, I know they were suggested for mirroring in Good faith, but given the front page source, I am less confident about thier actual status, than previously. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Substantial uploads to Category:Congressional Research Service reports

This is fantastic. How are you uploading all of these? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:09, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

See User_talk:Fæ/CCE_volumes. It's mainly the internetarchive module for Python which is a wrapper for the IA API, but with some threading (only sometimes successful) workarounds for the WMF server failures to handle large PDFs. --Fæ (talk) 05:23, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is done in a manner that doesn't involve direct human intervention or oversight once you press the button, so why are you doing it from your account instead of a bot account? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:18, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

(a) These have oversight, each fork is a question of manual set up and are limited to a possible maximum of 5,000 items each, so unlike Faebot tasks it is not left to run indefinitely.

(b) Batch upload tools like COM:GWT and COM:F2C run exactly this way, under a users' main account with that user's authority, and are capable of uploading 100,000 files or more in one session. This is no different, apart from having more oversight as I can review feedback on the upload process as it runs in a terminal window, and break at any point if it's going wrong.

--Fæ (talk) 08:49, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. So why are you uploading versions of CRS reports with the Wikileaks vanity page at the beginning? Additionally, have you tried uploading directly from Congress.gov? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

IA presents the files this way. The page contains what appears a useful abstract that may be missing from the document.

The upload is a fork, this saves a lot of volunteer effort and can apply to any IA collection. Uploading from a site like https://congress.gov would be its own project and would probably have no API to benefit from, making the task even more difficult.

Considering how few active batch uploaders we have, this is a major consideration.

P.s. your ongoing questioning looks like fishing for problems. If there are no practical improvements coming out of this, let's call it a day. --Fæ (talk) 09:39, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

IA "Evacuation" copy efforts...

I quickly checked for the period 1780-1870 there were at least 40,000 volumes, so far Commons has 9,000 or so, but expanding rapidly. So thank you very much for uploading. (I also note a few pre 1780 volumes, which are possible "extension goal" if you felt there was the expertise on commons to improve any meta-data).

Did you plan on creating an interface to allow others to see what is in progress for the scripts? It's not a problem if you are not because the upload log format you decided on is very concise already :)

Thank you very much for undertaking this!! ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:44, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

It's been a long time since creating a web front end on the toolserver. It's a lot of extra effort and the reality is that tools like COM:GWT are barely used but would be easily fed an XML dump from IA, if anyone wanted to work on it. Plus as the farago with uploads from YouTube shows, IP blocking is likely to be a major obstacle once several people start using such tools; so no plans at the moment.

The suggestion that IA supply an archive set to the WMF (or even WMDE) is the most practical and fits perfectly with the WMF's mission. Having someone paid to sort this out professionally rather than ad-hoc volunteers, also makes far more sense.

A pure data dump held as part of the WMF toolserver space, would mean that volunteers could mine it later on for COM:L compliant collections, if the IA had to go offline indefinitely.

If the IA are interested, it's the sort of long term project that being funded to the tune of $20,000 or more should be a no-brainer for the WMF. --Fæ (talk) 09:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Copyright status of US "Field Manuals"?

I note IA had archived some - https://archive.org/details/field-technical-manuals

Are these PD-US Gov or are some of them likely to be 'contractor' provided and thus under normal copyright rules?

(A few of them may be of use in writing textbook content, ( Someone wrote a reasonable Baiscs of Radio Transmission guide based on one at Wikibooks IIRC). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

I doubt they were all 'contractors' in the modern sense. Sampling seems to indicate they worked for a USGov department for several years and based on experience, your project field books during that time are always the property of your employer. --Fæ (talk) 18:23, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

FEDLINK.

Just a note of caution, some parts of FEDLINk like, https://archive.org/details/navalpostgraduateschoollibrary and so on seem to have some items that I'm not sure would in fact qualify as PD-USGov. They seem to be individual academic papers, which may have their own copyrights. Might be worth doing some additional checks. Sorry to seem paranoid.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

I think any sub-collections do not appear as documents in the fedlink collection. As the upload is only looking at the parent collection, they probably are not an issue. --Fæ (talk) 20:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay, Just be careful. I was finding them on a search though. Also 1970 seems to be another 'placeholder' date for more recent works. ( I.E It's modern but no clear date, so use the start of the UNIX Epoch). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:25, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Category Dispersal for FEDLINK uploads...

See the notes I left at User talk:Fæ/CCE volumes, I've done some dispersals using VFC, but trying to do that for more than 500 works is not the best way of doing it. Based on the list I give is it possible to comeup with a dispersal script that does it automatically? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Also considering taking an extended break from contributing, until I feel I have the competence to cope with supporting an effort like this. It's better to know when you are starting to show the signs of potential 'wiki-stress' than have to have the admins deal with you with a 'strait-jacket' after the burn-out or moral panic occurs. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

The trick is probably not to be in a hurry. With other large batch upload projects the optimum approach is to have some exemplar deletion requests and use those for further housekeeping. Though some may end up then being deleted as a group, others just need licensing fixes or further categorization.

For yourself and others, part of this is to not bother looking at collections that are still being uploaded, but wait for those first to complete, then consider problems as "housekeeping", not failures as such. None of this is perfect, and both the IA metadata, and the scanning institutions will introduce their own failures and that's not something we can help.

"Service" Records - Commons Policy surounding...

Not yet a 'blue-link' but I'd categorised some items in, Category:US Navy Nurse Corps Organizational records.

Are "service" records in the US considered public documents? I ask because here in the UK, some "service" records are withheld from the public for a period to protect the privacy of both the personnel they are records for, but also their relatives, family and descendants. These are clearly from an older period though, and in an official archive.

If there are likely to be more of this kind of primary source uploaded, it might be reasonable to have some policy guidelines about them (in line with what a conventional library or archive might apply.). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:17, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Some records will be public by necessity, like medals, awards, promotions. Others, like disciplinary reviews, are probably not considered automatically public domain. It may be useful to raise a couple of specific examples at COM:VPC. --Fæ (talk) 13:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Batch uploading for English Wikisource?

Thanks for your ongoing efforts in respect of batch uploading materials to Commons.

Would you consider asking on s:Wikisource:Scriptorium, if there are batched collections (with publication dates) 1870-1925, that Wikisource would be interested in. (For various reasons, policy on English Wikisource is different to Commons, and so far it's allowed anything that is confirmed PD in the US. So it might be feasible to ask if Wikisource was able to accept material that couldn't be at Commons.)ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

I did mention the CCE fork batch uploads, but no-one responded (yet).

The reason I mention this is because there are some works on IA, that are PD-US like the (https://archive.org/details/thestrandmagazine) which might be better to be uploaded as a local copy on English Wikisource first. Like volumes of the Strand Magazine (https://archive.org/details/thestrandmagazine) mentioned in this discussion, which for various reasons couldn't be on Commons directly. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:14, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

English Wikisource, supports the {{Book}} template, so tweaking the scripts being used to upload to a local project instead of Commons directly should be feasible. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:16, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

As the licensing policy on WS is the same as Commons, and it's a recommended workflow to load texts to Commons then set up transcriptions on WS, there appears more disbenefits doing it the other way around. For example you would be unable to display selected original pages on sister projects. --Fæ (talk) 17:20, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Ah.. Okay. I will note that sometimes English Wikiosurce has kept PD-US works that Commons deleted though. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:26, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

I doubt that would happen to these files, most being of archival interest. I guess someone might argue the case if a very simple recent document was literally nothing but text. --Fæ (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the copyright policy on English Wikisource is that works have to be PD or freely licensed in the US (including through an URAA restoration), but does not have to be so in the country of first publication. For works where we do not have a documented date of death for the author we have been informally applying Commons' rule of thumb of date of publication + 120 years for PD-assumed.

This generally means that enWS can accept many more works than Commons, which in turns means it might not be a bad idea to use enWS as a staging area for works that are in a grey area and requires manual vetting. It'd be a massive backlog to process, of course, but with proper tagging it should be a containable one and something people can dip in and out of as and when they have time and interest. FileImporter/FileExporter makes that an actually feasible project so long as we manage to keep the filenames unique and templates compatible across projects. (I'm more worried about getting even minimally useable bibliographic data for these scans: IA's bibliographic data is, frankly, utter crap and they appear entirely uninterested in improving it). --Xover (talk) 08:54, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a good distinction.

I prefer the workflow to be upload to Commons || work out if any have possible copyright issues and debate those out || consider whether transfer to WS would work for PD in US but issues exist for source countries.

Doing it this way keeps the benefit of sister project reuse central, and the more immediate threat of specific deletion requests, will always get more volunteer interest, rather than a indefinite backlog on WS.

BTW, I suspect that if we had an official backlog on Commons of "being transferred to WS", then this would be a reasonable outcome for a DR, not just a pre-emptive delete. --Fæ (talk) 10:25, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Pros and cons either way. FileImporter makes enWS->Commons easy and elegant and preserves history; but does not allow Commons->enWS (there's a request for it on Phabricator somewhere, but no response). And enWS policy being the more permissive it reduces the number of files that will have to be actioned by a human, and not under the gun of a DR. enWS also has experience with the unique copyright issues around books (multiple authors, translations with separate copyright, books with illustrations by an independent artist, multiple editions with changes published on different sides of a copyright erm cutoff, etc.). For that subset of files where country of publication is likely to be an issue, I think that would actually be preferable despite the drawbacks.

But I agree keeping as much as possible on Commons is best (we generally want to avoid local files on enWS when we can), and there are definitely far more eyes available to look at the problem on Commons. I very much like your idea of a "To be transferred to Wikisource" queue: it's a recurring problem that files are deleted here despite being in use and within policy on enWS. If we didn't have a couple of people who have +sysop on both projects and keep an eye out for the issue it'd be a major annoyance.

In any case, I just wanted to put the option on the table since there's a not-insignificant subset of the files on IA that aren't permitted on Commons but are permitted on enWS. So long as we get them somewhere if IA gets sued into bankruptcy, I'm happy. --Xover (talk) 16:39, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay. I think there's a proposal here for the wider Commons community. The proposal will summarize the Commons vs. WikiSource differences on licensing and highlight the IA books upload as a critical example of how this can help preserve content. The proposal will be an effective policy change for DR closure, in that if a document is considered in scope for WikiSource but due to the 'must be free in source country' requirements of COM:L should be deleted from Commons, it can be put in a category housekeeping backlog for deletion to happen after transfer to WikiSource. This may happen by bot. This can also be a valid Commons undel rationale if any deletion happens before transfer.

If nobody else wants to rush this to COM:VPP I may write it up in a day or two. --Fæ (talk) 17:43, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

SBL log

This does time-out, because it's in a time-box. However, these types of error will persist with other files. I have just patched flic.kr and bit.ly but I don't want to spend all my time doing daft fixes when I'm not a vandal or a spammer and I /definitely/ should be able to use the same short-urls that the archive metadata I am inheriting are using. See the related COM:VP#Looking for a practical titleblacklist fix for perfectly good batch upload projects, you may want to give words of encouragement.

Unfortunately the WMF server problems of being unable to handle PDFs is why this is happening as an unintended consequence of using a "brute-force" work-around. If phab:T254459 had a fix, this would be no need for the crappy coding, so I blame that bug at the root cause... --Fæ (talk) 15:56, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

File:Country Bear Jamboree, Disney World (NBY 2948).jpg

Given the issues with PDF quality....

Perhaps there needs to be a 'batch' version of IAupload, to generate high quality djvu directly for a given collection, given that djvu seems to be a format that is better supported than PDF in some use-cases. In some instances however the DJVU files generated are of significantly worse quality than PDF (or the original scans, but some losses are inevitable).

I'm, frustrated that what was supposed to be a straightforward project has exposed some significant limitations in Mediawiki's handling of certain file formats, and it's seeming inability to provide high quality scan images for use on Wikisource.

I've not yet decided on whether to say I will cease being active on Commons or Wikisource because of the limitations (which don't yet have a timescale for resolution), but the effort to get IA files uploaded should NOT be abandoned. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:33, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

(Putting aside the upload problems...) My understanding is that this is a rendering issue, not strictly an issue with the uploaded files.

Literally, the file uploaded to Commons is digitally identical to the original hosted at IA. Hence, when the WMF software gets some upgrades to how documents are processed, all of these files can be re-rendered and at that point will display as well as they can be in terms of resolution on IA.

The task we have is to make use of these collections, and to mirror as much as we find of reasonable value and verifiable copyright status, just in case they might start vanishing from IA in a few months time.

My expectation is that the WMF will be slow, but given, say, 500,000 documents that need better rendering, then WMF dev might start thinking it's worthwhile to be at least as good as the IA. Even if that takes 2 years rather than 2 months, the files will be here, ready to be displayed better.

Seems worthwhile.

P.S. It's good to take these issues seriously, but try to also think through the long view. The most disturbing part of recent events is archive.org's future becoming uncertain. Because they had a 100 year plan, and the WMF always dodged the question, it seemed reasonable to use IA as the backup option. There is a gap in the online ecology for the '100 year' organizations. There is still potential for "Wikimedia" or a part of it, to fulfil that role and take steps to exist after Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are frozen as other projects become more attractive.

If you find yourself deeply frustrated over local copyright disputes and rendering software bugs, try putting on the long view hat, to see if there are other aspects of the preservation, validation and access to public knowledge that are better investments for your energy. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 10:45, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I've asked for a change to allow for higher DPI output from ghostscript into Thumbor in a Phabractor ticket. There are other 'free' PDF render libraries though. Who would be the best person to ask for a technical evaulation of the various free options?

(Aside: I've also in a recent e-mail to archive.org, expressed a view that (if they survive) some kind of API to pull high quality JP2 scans directly from their servers on a per-page basis would be useful.) IA-Upload has an option to build a djvu directly from scans, but I couldn't get that tool to work for me. The volume I was trying to rebuild as Djvu was the earliest dated CCE volume.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:48, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm unsure who would be most interested. It may be worth asking on the VPT as there are probably a couple of insiders that have the page on their watchlist. --Fæ (talk) 17:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I am wondering if there's a way to display something like the links here - https://ia800309.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/4/items/catalogoftitleen11118libr/catalogoftitleen11118libr_jp2.zip more directly on Wikisource. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes each jpg version of the jp2 original scans can be uploaded as separate files. But if one is doing that much processing, one could remake the PDF using those same jpegs, which is probably equivalent to unpacking the uploaded PDFs we already have, and repacking them.

I did look in to this (repacking what we have) a little using standard Python tools, but it seemed like a task that would take quite a bit of thought and programming time. Keeping in mind that the PDFs we have can be 200MB to 1.7GB, it would be likely to be slow running housekeeping but would probably be targetted down if the scenario for poor rendering were well defined.

P.S. mentioning this as you may not be aware, the IA API get_files command includes a formats parameter. For PDFs so far, I have found ["Text PDF","Image Container PDF","Standard LuraTech PDF"] (and ["Grayscale LuraTech PDF"] is a secondary format I think has never been needed) as varieties of PDF format tag in use. This seems unrelated to the rendering problem as I think all the problems have had the format "Text PDF" which is the widest used default. It's probably an irrelevant tangent but may come in use.

--Fæ (talk) 06:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

While writing here, I was watching a terminal where 2 residuals out of 8000 files where retrying, and one finally succeeded while I was looking manueldquotorni2less. This passed on the 12th attempt, and as each try allowed a few more minutes in the time-box for the upload attempts, we now know that this 964.6 MB file took 34 minutes to be processed.

Update The second remaining file of that run uploaded while I was in the garden, mobot31753000659927. This uploaded on the 14th attempt, is 910MB and took a window of 43 minutes. So the good news is that 100% of that run uploaded in the end. --Fæ (talk) 10:13, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Help with an image on enwiki?

Heya! @Fæ: Enwiki has an article about the hanging of two LGTBQ+ teenagers (one clearly underage) from Iran and someone lovely person has decided we need a picture of them with nooses around their necks being about to be strung up. I frankly don't think the screenshot image is necessary and it's addition is more about social pornography than anything else. On Commons, I would know what to do about getting rid of it, but I have no idea on the enwiki. Could you possibly take a look at the file and let me know what you think one way or another? Thanks, Yupik (talk) 00:21, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

A number of factors against removing:

Hosted since 2011
Uses the en:Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline
No replacement image

If you could find a replacement image, say of the accused being taken to court, or in court, that could be argued to be a better image and would then undermine the fair use rationale.

The FUR is very well established. To change it would take a good casebook of evidence of it resulting in unambiguous bias or or commercial misuse of Wikipedia, but there have been no well known cases of that happening.

Addendum @Yupik: Rereading, it's obvious I side-stepped the issue of "appropriate" use of this disturbing photograph and gave a bureaucratic answer. There is an option I did not mention you could try, and that's to write to WMF legal or WMF Trust and Safety (ca

wikimedia.org) as a whistleblower, and complain that the image is de facto child abuse as it is of a living child in the process of being killed. The context of anti-LGBT+ hatred is also highly relevant to a determination. Regardless of project policies, WMF must take complaints of child abuse on their websites will full seriousness, and make their own professional judgements about it. --Fæ (talk) 10:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the extensive answer; I can also apply it to other instance where I am unsure of what to do about an image when I come across questionable images hosted on the enwiki. Thank you! -Yupik (talk) 16:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Contractor and Grantee reports (US FEDLINk uploads) ...

Rather than me filing a lot of individual DR's , can you come up with a 'side-bar' script so I can quickly mark and categorize these for a massive assessment effort at a later date? So far it seems to only be me that's doing systemic checking of uploads, and I'd appreciate more community involvement. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:36, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Rather than a programming solution, I would use Help:cat-a-lot and just add all the results of a suitable matching search to a custom maintenance category. That way any DR or mass change can operate on the category(s).

BTW, have a look at https://archive.org/details/reminiscencesbio05worc. This was flagged as one of the 'residuals' and after 18 attempts at upload, I went to look at it, only to find it unavailable at IA. Clearly it's PD, so that's weird.

Also weird is that not all files within that item are marked as private. Here are the private formats:

true DjVu
true Animated GIF
true Standard LuraTech PDF
true Abbyy GZ
true Archive BitTorrent
true Grayscale LuraTech PDF
true DjVuTXT
true Djvu XML
true Single Page Processed JP2 ZIP
true Single Page Original JP2 Tar

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	Hey! Good work on uploading IA files. I hope all the DR's does not make you stop. It's a big job and the time may be short so I think it is worth some bad files. MGA73 (talk) 09:09, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Fæ, these are interesting uploads but I wonder how File:Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum (IA annalsofsouth10331993sout).pdf (a scan of a publication from 1993) fits into this set with a supposed publication date of 1898 and {{PD-US-expired}}. Is this one of the “bad files”? Shall I delete it? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 09:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for barnstar.

Created Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with 1979 onwards Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse. Vaguely, I think we ran into this issue with these very same BHL volumes before, but a few year ago. IA metadata is misleading when it comes to long volume runs. --Fæ (talk) 10:52, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

I see on User_talk:Fæ/IA_books#Bugs_and_work-arounds that you have problems with big files. Is it just you or is it everyone? If it is you then I wonder if it would be possible for you to create the file pages with the right information etc so someone (me?) can download the original file and try to upload it to the file page. --MGA73 (talk) 13:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

It's everyone and (apparently) every upload method for PDFs. See the Phab task for examples and discussion. This is a WMF dev issue, not solvable elsewhere unless someone were to build a large PDF reprocessor as a possible fix, but that would not actually make much sense compared to WMF devs changing the utilities on the server. --Fæ (talk) 14:02, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I just thought if it could be done manually I could give it a try. Lets hope the devs fix it :-) --MGA73 (talk) 18:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Rename request

Hi Fae. I declined a rename request by User:ShakespeareFan00 for renaming a file you uploaded, File:Annotated bibliography of papers from the Addiction Research Center, 1935-75 (IA annotatedbibliog00nati 1).pdf to [:[File:Annotated bibliography of papers from the Addiction Research Center, 1935-75 (Addenda to 1977) (IA annotatedbibliog00nati 1).pdf]] (see this diff for more clear change) on the grounds that there was no obvious error (COM:FNC#FR3). That said, I think it'd be a fine change, and you may wish to request/rename it or some variation on it yourself as the original uploader per COM:FNC#FR1. Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 18:00, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757: this falls into an area that our policies fail to recognize, that of collegiate projects. The IA Books project is a collegiate upload, and though I am managing the upload process itself, for very large projects, it will always be a team effort to handle issues, wider impact, categorization or responding to copyright issues.

As ShakespeareFan00's requests and actions are critical to this project, stuff like renames should be considered to be made with consent, as part of the project itself. Thanks for raising it. --Fæ (talk) 18:20, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Items in FEDLINK review category and subcats.

Category:FEDLINK_items_for_license_review

By carefully reading more than just the IA data (such as authorship and title pages in the works concerned), this category has grown to 500 items plus sub-categories. Some additional assistance in removing items that are not of "clear" US Federal origin, would be appreciated.

In many instances the issue is one of 'joint' authorship between a 'Federal' agency and a non federal entity (working in a professional capacity) in Industry or academic research. In others it's to do with the copyright status of work 'funded' by an agency, but not undertaken by them directly.

Pre 1978 works without copyright notices, can probably be retained (with a detailed explanation.). It's unlikely anything post 1988 can be retained if it has Non Federal contributions. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate that you are continuing with the upload to try and get as much material that Commons can retain as possible. However, getting some help in removing and re-licensing material that isn't clearly PD-US-Gov would be appreciated, as there is only so much as single contributor can do.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

What I suggest is identifying critical exemplar DRs, whether keep or delete, that set a potential easy precident for other files. Those exemplars can be added to the project page.

As an uploading project strategy, what works best (apart from correcting immediate mistakes) is to let the upload complete, then make key 'housekeeping' choices which might include running a consensus process like raising questions on VPC, to establish mass actions. At that point Faebot could mass nominate large collections of matching files for deletion, or create deletion categories, as needed.

For many of these questions which probe our community understanding like the validity of US Federal works which may include non-Federal writer's articles or photographs, this is wider than our judgement and establishing exemplars and perhaps a case book for non-obvious status of documents has legitimate long term value.

I'll have a think about extending the copyright section on the project page.

Please keep a long view, these are very large number of files, which means refining 'norms' more than making judgements about individual files.

BTW, the standard Commons search will search text inside a PDF document. I am unclear about how exactly this works as I'm presuming that this will not work for all PDF standards, and I have not had much success trying it, but in-document matches are marked including the page numbers. --Fæ (talk) 11:59, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Academic theses and dissertations of the Naval Postgraduate School

Hi! I saw you uploaded a huge amount of scientific papers to Category:Academic theses and dissertations of the Naval Postgraduate School, and I started to add categories by paper contents. Since this is almost infeasible by hand, I came up with the vague idea of using the keywords given under "Subject: ..." (in the "Description" field) to automatize this task. I guess, turning each keyphrase (separated by semi-colon) into a category name would result in 50% red links, but the blue links would mostly be correct as a starting point, although too coarse. In most fields of knowledge, there are wikipedians who look at incoming files and refine their categorization. Automatically creating categories would help to initiate that process, during which the red links would be deleted, or fixed appropriately, by hand.

For example, I added Category:Aerosols to File:Aerosol scattering phase function retrieval from polar orbiting satellites (IA aerosolscatterin109452256).pdf, and Pierre cb subsequently refined that to Category:Aerosol publications. Automatic categorization would have put that file at least to Category:Dust, where someone else would take care of it.

An improved version of this process would sort out the red links before creating them, and collect them in a txt file. I (and others, too, I guess) would be willing to look at the latter file and to suggest an approximately correct blue link substitute for each red link listed there (such as "Category:Atmospheric aerosols --> Category:Aerosols" in the example). Occasionally, these substitutions could be applied (in the example: every file having "Atmospheric aerosols" among its keyphrases could be added to Category:Aerosols), thus creating more starting points for categorization refinement processes. This way, we could save time by exploiting repetitions of keyphrases in multiple files.

Without initiating categorization processes the files could remain unrecognized for years, which would be a pity.

Just an idea - I don't know whether this could be implemented by an existing bot or script. Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 10:05, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Using the normal search on Commons gives you a list that can be processed via Help:VFC or Help:Cat-a-lot. For the IA uploads the location field is a consistent way of filtering, and probably is the easiest way of selecting files to put into topic sub-categories. --Fæ (talk) 09:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Progress

Hey! I like to watch User_talk:Fæ/IA_books#Forks. Have you thought of adding Running to those in progress? :-) --MGA73 (talk) 20:55, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

All those without a 'done' are running. It's complex because they go into a 'residuals' stage, where it may take 20 attempts for some files to upload. One of the current processes this morning is working through fork 6, 1851-(something), and there are 21 files left in that several thousand chunk, of which one uploaded at attempt 12 and the others are now at attempt 16, with those attempts now each taking 48 minutes. That group will probably run for a couple more days before going over 20 attempts. Anyway, this means that after a 1st and 2nd pass, the batch may take over a week to upload the next handful, after which it's a manual choice to terminate as the residuals are probably impossible to get through the WMF server due to size (1.44 GB seems the practical limit) or unexpected format problems at source.

The R link at the start of each fork on the project page shows all recent actions on the files, which shows what's going on in practice.

A difficult choice is going to be the maximum age for contents. For non-Federal works like books from the Library of Congress, it's probably going to be 1899. It could be that further filters can be used on IA metadata options to go later than 1899, though that means a bit of extra programming to get it to work.

It looks like the project may reach 500,000 documents, and any uploads after than will take more volunteer effort to filter and judge, so the numbers will be less impressive. --Fæ (talk) 08:03, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the update! I figured out that you were doing multiple tasks. I was however not sure how many. I hope they fix something so it is easier for you to upload the big files. It seems that sometimes the upload works because we do have some big files.

I noticed Commons:Village_pump/Technical#"Wikimedia_Error" this where they mention User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js. I have never tried it but if it works it could be a way to fix the big files. --MGA73 (talk) 10:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

I've used Rillke's uploader for years. However the way it works is probably identical to the Pywikibot chunked uploading and the way the upload wizard uses chunked uploading for local files. Unfortunately the uploader is not maintained, so in the long term might become unviable. --Fæ (talk) 10:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

About to go to bed, but I may look at a future file fix used once before, to get the page html post successful upload and check the length. It adds ~4 seconds to each upload but gives a chance for a second write. The alternative is to create a whole housekeeping script just to fix the unlikely chance of blanks, which starts to get too time consuming. --Fæ (talk) 22:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Looked at this for a while before breakfast. Leaving it for a while due to apparent WMF server problems when running a simple standard pywikibot category article list generator; I'm wondering if WMF ops has some underpinning issues...

Update: Because of the current bug, the reporting on this via the API takes literally hours.

The report is currently showing no matches, but it has not started the LoC and is still going the Congress stuff. It may be that the test of page.pageid == 0 is a bad one if the pages get touched after upload by bot or tagged by recent change watchers. Can add a page length test but that'll be very slow as the API is pulling the content info for the latest revision for every page.

Anyway, have added a pageid test for new uploads, which triggers a second attempt to upload page text, so that might stop any new occurrences, though it's so rare anyway, that I have yet to notice it getting triggered. --Fæ (talk) 12:30, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

@Stefan2: Doing it the hard way, now created a recreation script from a csv dump of the sql. Files will appear at Category:IA uploads needing categories. --Fæ (talk) 19:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Current list of affected files:

Stefan2 (talk) 14:19, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Rather than going to quarry, downloading a CSV list, processing those, the alternative being attempted now looks like:

When page does not exists()

getFileVersionHistory() and if len == 1 and pageid == 0 then create the page text

this throws a NoPage error when there's no file uploaded

Hopefully this convoluted way of checking post-upload attempt will stop this happening for IA uploads, however it of course will continue happening everywhere else... --Fæ (talk) 11:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Nothing to do with you, really, other than your bot uploaded it, and acurately reproduced bad information from the LoC, but what happened here? I don't think I've seen the Library of Congress screw up a title that badly... ever before. I've seen typos of names, but never just... ignoring the sensible title text and focusing on the G©K monogram. which they changed to G.C.K, even though it's pretty clearly a "Copyright George Kleine" monogram.

That is one weird file description page. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:51, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

All mass archives suffer from a lack of curator review. GIGO was not just a thing we talked about in the 1970s, bad metadata is here permanently until AI is cheap enough and smart enough to understand the errors and fix them. At the current unbelievably slow advance of technology, everyone we know will be dead before then; so not holding my breath. --Fæ (talk) 18:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Co-operative projects

Hi Fæ, you very kindly responded to a question of mine on Village Pump a couple of months ago about creating a co-operative project to add photographs to Commons. I'm now a bit furthe rforward with this, and have created my own Wiki - https://falklandsociety.org.uk/buildings/index.php?title=Main_Page - with very few entries on it as yet - but I'm aiming to have a bit of a push for World Photography Day (19 August). I've created a Flickr group - https://www.flickr.com/groups/falklandbuildings/ - but I can't see a way to constrain people contributing to it to use an appropriate licence. I've set my own Flicker account to use CC-BY-SA, but this doesn't seem to apply by default to the group. Any suggestions would be enormously appreciated. Thanks, Ross --Ross Burgess (talk) 06:28, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ross Burgess: I think there's no built-in way of doing this in group, there's a related old discussion here. One reason it's not meaningful as a 'forced' group rule is that participants can change the license on any photograph after joining a group regardless of group rules. However to get around it there are two things I would probably do:

Spell it out explicitly in the mandated group rules. If worded as a permanent and irrevocable release for photos contributed to the group, this can later be used as a legally meaningful agreement, regardless of the individual license declared on the image. This should be sufficient to protect you or reusers if someone were to later complain that their rights were infringed, though make sure to backup the group rules page for your records, preferably on webarchive where it is independent and dated.
As group admin, look at how to query group images by license; there's a standard parameter of "&license=" with license numbers, see [3]. Using such a report as an admin action you could kick off any photograph with wrong licenses.

Good luck! --Fæ (talk) 12:09, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Uploads from Stadtarchiv Kiel

I may have some unpleasant news from one of your past bot uploads. I just closed the DR for File:Verleihung des Wissenschaftspreises an die Kieler Journalistin Brigitte Schubert-Riese (Kiel 65.834).jpg as keep and fixed the description. When I tried to move the page to the proper title, I noticed that File:Besuch von Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul im Wohnlager Solomit in Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf (Kiel 65.817).jpg already exists but shows a different image (see [4]). I suspect that this was a continuous bug where the descriptions and actual images got shifted throughout the entire batch. De728631 (talk) 17:14, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

PS: This is correct again according to the source. De728631 (talk) 17:18, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

I think I have fixed it with several file moves. Apparently the image now shown in File:Verleihung des Wissenschaftspreises an die Kieler Journalistin Brigitte Schubert-Riese (Kiel 65.834).jpg was missing in your upload and got the description from Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul's visit to that camp instead.

British Library blog and the Royal Gold Cup

Hi Fæ, I just noticed that the latest British Library Medieval Manuscripts blog post Jewels make the Virgin Queen uses your photo of the Royal Gold Cup lid, but without any attribution at all (not even mentioning Wikimedia Commons) which is quite deplorable. Perhaps our friends at the BL need some education on how to use images from Commons. BabelStone (talk) 00:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Now fixed, along with a personal apology. Considering how many years we've been doing this, and the damage that recession will cause in the GLAM sector, education is only a fraction of the strategic response needed if open GLAM is going to be more than a pipe dream in our lifetimes. --Fæ (talk) 09:38, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Fae. This seems to be from 2017. Could you check its licensing please? Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:17, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging it. This is a 'classic' issue with volumes or journal runs in IA, as the volume date in metadata seems to invariably be taken from the first registration. Based on p3 of this document it's a copyvio. Also clearly, earliest editions may be PD by age.

Hold off for a moment, I would like to create a bundle DR and add it as an exemplar on the project page.

@Rodhullandemu: This was a bit of a cock-up. Would appreciate you checking over Commons:Deletion requests/West-Riding Consolidated Naturalists' Society to make sure it's sufficient, or indeed if some of the files on the list can be salvaged as PD. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:22, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Copyright of Wellcome images

Hi Fae,

I came upon this image on Wikipedia, and I saw that it's listed as having a CC license. Is that really correct? --Slashme (talk) 10:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

It's an issue of default copyright. The scans or photos are all CC, but scans of a public domain poster like this are interpreted as public domain as there is insufficient creativity. The license can be safely replaced, but it's a question of improvement, not that the default license is specifically wrong. --Fæ (talk) 10:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks, that's clear to me now! --Slashme (talk) 11:31, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I can scan old scientific engravings. Have any ideas?

Hey Fæ! I've been told on the graphic village pump (original section) that you might know more about adding old scientific engravings on wikicommons. I'm not knowledgeable about most of the stuff here on commons (I just fix trivial typos or minor edits on wiki) but I have a bunch of old (post 1830s) scientific books filled with engravings I could scan. The issue is, I don't know how to convert them to SVGs so I was wondering if there's someone or some team that already does that; otherwise I'd rather not flood wikicommons with raw, poorly edited PNGs.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Edit: you can see what kind of images I'm talking about on my user page, or under the original post

Yes sure, it's a WMF bug which has been creating blank pages for correctly uploaded files for years.

Missing Sanborn maps

As I'm going through the Sanborn maps in detail, I can see various volumes that were missed for some reason. I am scribbling these down at User:Ricky81682/Sanborn. Would that work for you if you wanted to follow up later? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Maybe. Keep in mind that the upload probably failed on these cases for technical reasons, which may be the remove server not supplying the images correctly via their API. If this is the case then the mass upload process used will continue to fail. --Fæ (talk) 06:52, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

This action was performed automatically by AntiCompositeBot (talk) (FAQ) 20:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: I believe this example uses the {{wrong license}} tag wrongly. This was an obviously PD file, it only needed an alternate license added. It would be destructive if AntiCompositeBot resulted in deleting files because nobody was paying attention. @AntiCompositeNumber: any chance of making this a smarter process? --Fæ (talk) 07:52, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Fæ: Duly noted. It wasn't PD-US-Gov though, On the examples AntiCompositeBot flagged both appear to be no notice though. I estimate 77 files in a related situation, based on my contribs , You want me to carefully udpate all of them? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes. Using the wrong license template is fine, the problem is that if bots schedule speedy deletions long before anyone gets to reviewing them, then the old license ought to stay in place as well. --Fæ (talk) 09:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

I'll tag them all as no-notice with a {{Review}} then. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:14, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

BTW, the IA books has petered out now. Let me know if there's a topic area or collection you would like uploaded, that is large enough to worry about, and is fairly safely PD. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 10:23, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Well, If I think of something I'll certainly suggest it. Thanks for the uploads so far. Now comes the catalog managment and identification of non-hostable works ( :( pained expression) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

AntiCompositeBot's NoLicense task tags files uploaded within the last 30 days that do not have a license template and are not already subject to any deletion process. If a file does not have a license template, there is no justification for why the file is permitted by COM:L. There are 3,000 items in Category:Items with disputed copyright information, which indicates to me that it's not actively monitored or patrolled, so I don't see {{Wrong license}} as being equivalent to a license or deletion process for recently-uploaded files. As always, it's the uploader's responsibility to ensure that the copyright information on the file page is correct before they upload the file. I would, however, also caution ShakespeareFan00 against removing license templates in general. Appending {{Wrong license}} without removing the existing tag would be preferred, but simply fixing the license tag is of course the best option. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

File:1000 and One-the Blue Book of Non-Theatrical Films (1926) (IA 1000onethebluebo00unse).pdf

Do we have a template for PD-US-norecords?

I've tried to find this in the CCE for 1926 , without success. Whilst it contains a note in the tile page about being copyright in 1926, I've not been able to find a record of this in the CCE.

I'll see if there was a renewal, but I am not confident about finding one.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

And I've not seemingly found a renewal yet either.. Provisonally retagging as PD-US-norenewal. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

I think the PD US not renewed, is the same as no records for us. Probably. --Fæ (talk) 18:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Well technicaly no-record might also cover some aspects of no notice as well, which is why I asked. The compormise errs on the side caution :)

Suggestions for archiving.

https://archive.org/details/library_of_congress was already in process I think (limited to pre 1870 of course). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:08, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
https://archive.org/details/usinspectorsgeneral - These are most likely US-GOV aren't they?
https://archive.org/details/9thcircuitcourtofappeals - Are Transcripts of court hearings and law reports PD?
https://archive.org/details/governmentpublications - What is the status of Canadiain Government works ( Do they have an OGL equivalent, and at least some of these pre 1950 or so might be an expired crown copyright?)
https://archive.org/details/reclaimtherecords - Are FOIA recovered datasets PD? The aim of the project that this archive represents seems to have some objectives in 'free' data, more information at https://www.reclaimtherecords.org/

Just some thoughts, but most of these need more research before any mass upload is started, we naturally need to be sure :)

Are there PD technical manuals produced by various US agencies that aren't already in the FEDLINK collection? (Some Field Manuals are practially basic textbooks in some fields.)

Of course the scripts were written for IA, but I'm wondering if there is scope for simmilar scripts on sites that have an API.

Last suggestion was Librivox audios, I think librivox.org might have their own API though, which is independent of IA. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:34, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Variations would take programming time, it's not a simple bit of reconfiguration. A small fork was created for Commons:Village_pump/Technical#Big_files_upload, but that's a sort of demonstration of principle, and potentially useful if there are sets of large pdfs that would need local downloads first.

So the target would be to identify a good quality collection of uploads, that are large enough to make it worth the volunteer investment. For me, that's normally over 10,000 files that have good impact.

I'll take a look at the examples above, but first should go and enjoy some of the last last summer sun before it's gone for the rest of the year... --Fæ (talk) 11:40, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Re launches

Redoing the LoC, just in case. It was on loop 30, so it was ready to be closed down anyway. It may be that none was missed first time. It's telling me there are 87,568 items to look at.
Category:US Inspectors General, a small pile of documents.
Category:United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, c.463 docs.
Ref Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Canada_OGL. However {{PD-Canada-Crown}} exists, so uploading <1970 documents at Category:Government of Canada publications and 9,855 documents listed that match.
Started uploading under OGL-C, but examining 01ontariosoilbasel00grif, there can be explicit NC statements under Crown Copyright that probably cannot be argued as retrospectively compliant with OGL. Giving up on post-1969 Canada Gov works as there's probably no easy way to filter only for docs with no copyright claims.

It would be possible to run an IA search which pulls out governmentpublications documents by year range and filters for those with "no copyright" statements. This may make, say, around 4,000+ post-1969 documents available under the OGL-C default. However I am unsure if the quality of that volunteer created metadata on IA can be relied on.
Not doing anything with FOIA. These would have to be filtered by other things, as FOIA of itself is not a process that "de-copyrights" the material, and there may well be work from non-Federal bodies, like reports from contractors.

Wrong categories of your photos

Could you please clean up the categories of the photos you added? You have uploaded hundreds of photos of firearms that either do not show the weapons to which they were assigned or the visibility of the weapons is extremely low. For example, they present photos of physical exercises, random soldiers without any guns, loading ammo belts, shooting targets, paintball games (sic!) ... For this type of photos, categories such as "People with M4" etc. I tried to clean up in the "M4 carbine" category but the number of these photos is too much for me. Sumek101 (talk) 08:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

For example this is photo of M4? [5] or this? [6] Sumek101 (talk) 08:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

These are related to the use of M4 carbines. You may find help:cat-a-lot helpful if you want to visually mass remove files you feel are irrelevant. Note that these have been categorised this way for 3 or more years. --Fæ (talk) 09:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Naval Postgraduate School Documents...

Given that I've found a NUMBER of these to be absent from the claimed IA links/source, I'm sorely tempted to file a MASSIVE DR for all of these that are post 1989, unless there's an automated solution for checking which ones have or haven't been removed on IA. The reason for removal on IA isn't indicated. If it is that the PDF files are too big for regular download for example then this can presumably be resolved fairly quickly but would need someone else to ask IA why they had made such a technical change. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Seems unlikely that these would be removed between upload and looking at them. Perhaps something else is going on? --Fæ (talk) 15:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

That's my thought, but I've filed a DR for 2020, 2019 and 2018 , because those were the most recent years affected. I would be most suprised if this isn't some kind of technical screw-up, but I am being cautious. I won't object to early closure of the relevant DR's, but I'm not able to self-close them. I will go categorise them into the IA mirror related disscusions cat though..

Elsewhere I've filtered out the 'problem' works in the Library of Congress (post 1925) uploads, and in the National Library of Education Historical textbooks. DR's filed, but I am hoping someone other than me is able to check for renewals (which I think is this situation for most of the works in the releavnt DR's)ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

I've marked some more of these "absent files" as {{Dead link}} which is perhaps a more pragmatic approach then broad deletions. Thanks for the voice of sanity :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

(However the collection contains one work dated 1948 as a "Book to Borrow" (A work not suitable for Commons), and about 300 undated works. Is there a way to filter these appropriately?) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Filtering by <1925 is available, giving 9,461 matches. I suspect some will already be uploaded. These will be appearing in Category:Boston Public Library Anti-Slavery Collection. --Fæ (talk) 15:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Some of the scans are terrible quality PDFs. I am familiar with the work of the BPL on these, and they do not fairly represent the quality of the original digitization. It may be that something went wrong at the IA side with PDF creation. --Fæ (talk) 11:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Talioring manuals...

With the exception of the French language work, it is my view that these are compatible with Commons.

IA also has - https://archive.org/details/b1108865/mode/2up from 1903.

I'd like a second view though. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:00, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

pbworks looks a bit unreliable and the number of files is quite small. As they would need individual review, it's not a big enough project to justify a custom process.

Thanks, after I'd posted the above I'd also uploaded the Vincent work as a DJVU from the JP2 scans, using IA-Upload :) Which I am now working through at English Wikisource :-) If you want to attempt diagram/figure extraction from either version it would be appreciated.

Official United Kingdom Parliamentary photographs

Hi Fæ. Just to let you know that there's been another photography session (both in the Commons and Lords) since February, so I was just wondering whether you could scrape the new portraits? Thanks. AlbanGeller (talk) 03:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: Could you do a little analysis and work out if the photography session has photos with 2020 in the EXIF data, one example would be useful? Running a short test, they look like 2019. To run a refresh, it would be easiest if this were limited only to 2020 shots and this was then in the filename, and the new photographs are also separate files from the older versions where they exist.

The reason is to know if it's worth revisiting the upload script to make this format a default, presuming that no house member will have more than one official photo in each calendar year.

BTW your signature is full of unsubstituted conditional if statements, which increases the load on talk page display. Do you need to do that?

--Fæ (talk) 12:41, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Fixed signature, thanks Fæ. The portraits of Lord Waldegrave of North Hill (which are yet to exist as Official portrait of Lord Waldegrave of North Hill.jpg etc.) include only "Creator: ROGER HARRIS" and "Copyright Notice: ROGER HARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY" in the metadata. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:02, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. The coding needs a proper rewrite. I'll be forcing it to only upload 2020 titled files, with checks of the EXIF data, it seems a better consistency. --Fæ (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Fae! I hope you're well and Covid-free! We have >5k of images on a non-free licence on cywiki, which are unused.

I wonder if you would be interested in deleting all images in this category? ie all unused images? Many thanks! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 04:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Not an admin, so can't help do these things. --Fæ (talk) 08:09, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you suggest a way to delete, please or can i make you an admin on cywiki? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 09:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

This can be done even if the local wiki does not have the equivalent of mass deletion tools by using a pywikibot command, which would use the category name. You could make User:Faebot a temporary local sysop rather than my main account and I can log in for this task using the bot, effectively acting in a limited capacity under your authority, which I could mention in the deletion comment. If you do that I'll take a look later on today.

cy.wp would benefit by having easier tools installed so the local admins can do these things without technical skills.

BTW, maybe you could flag up COM:UK legislation project at the cy VP? There's a large number of Acts and Instruments for Wales in Welsh (see the category list), as well as recent COVID legislation that may be of interest to folks writing about the Welsh Parliament and politics in Wales. --Fæ (talk) 10:11, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Yes indeed! Thanks for your usual help, Fæ! Mass delete does exist on cywiki, but the only options are: 'Username, IP address or blank' so I've never used it! I tried to add the above link [https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles?uselang=en&limit=5000, but I'm getting this message: 'This tool allows for mass deletions of pages recently added by a given user or an IP address. Input the username or IP address to get a list of pages to delete, or leave blank for all users.' So shall I go ahead and make you a local sysop, otherwise, please advise. Thanks for the last paragraph; I'll raise it in the Caffee! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 10:23, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Okay, though please only add the sysop group to Faebot, which feels less prone to causing comment elsewhere. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 11:03, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

All done; for a week. Let me know if the keys don't work! Your support to cywiki 7 years ago, Fæ resulted in wonderful things happening and I've always admired your work here on Commons and with the diverse communities of the Wikimedia projects. [No soap here, just something that really needs to be said!] Llywelyn2000 (talk) 15:28, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

@Llywelyn2000: Thanks!

I can see that Faebot has been added to Bots, but it needs to be added to the sysop group to do the deletions.

Wrote a short script to do it, as the unusedfiles() generator to list the files isn't a one-line command. --Fæ (talk) 17:04, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Wonderful! You're now an Admin. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

For the record, here's the small bit of Python script doing the deletion, with error traps as the unusedfiles list lags reality:

import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.getSite('cy', 'wikipedia')
gen = site.unusedfiles()
comment = u"Unused, housekeeping action by request, ref [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Fæ&oldid=493443491#Request_for_help]"
count = 0
for f in gen:
    count += 1
    if not f.exists():
        print count, "Not exists", f.title()
        continue
    try:
        f.delete(reason = comment)
    except Exception as e:
        print count, str(e)

Note that some will exist on Commons, and will continue to display after the local upload is removed. --Fæ (talk) 08:35, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Absolutely wonderful Fæ. Or in Cymraeg: Bendigedig!

Where I have to indicate the origin of the map [8]?--P Cesar Maldonado (talk) 15:36, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

The source link can contain any information about sources that users may find helpful.

To aid copyright verification you can both describe your additions, or conversions to SVG, like colouring or text, and include the source(s) the data or original map came from.

If the source has a different license status, it is worth explaining that under the permissions parameter, such as that the source might be CC0, or itself require attribution.

--Fæ (talk) 15:41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I have already changed the source source, which is still a map from the same Commons, or maybe I have to quote the source page of that same site, if so, tell me, and also change the type of license.--P Cesar Maldonado (talk) 15:54, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Looks sufficient. It's a pity that the old upload does not itself have more information about sources, but we can't fix that 15 years later. --Fæ (talk) 15:59, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much, the truth is that I do not know that part of the addition of the source, I appreciate your patience and support with this part. Greetings and I wish you an excellent day.--P Cesar Maldonado (talk) 16:03, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Greetings! I do not plan to spend my time cleaning out material like that or trying to preserve it. But for your info I made a note at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Category:Scientific_racism_deletion_requests so admins know that there are some DR's that may be difficult. Personally I think we should treat all files in the same way. Some think we should delete all files if they do not have a clear source even if they are 10-15 years old. Other think that we should not treat old files as hard because they are from another time. I can follow both views. But I think we should apply whatever standard we chose to all files and not judge some files harder just because we do not like what is on the files. --MGA73 (talk) 15:57, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Your actions today are making it harder to clean up the deliberate disruption that this sock farm has created.

Please take some time to review the background and read up on the decade long history for these LTAs before running interference across noticeboards and across deletion discussions.

It is particularly worrying that your comments confuse content that is demonstrably scientific racism with claims about being a racist. I do understand the distinction perfectly well, and handling scientific racism content is not a question of being uncivil, or of making claims about racists.

Your attention should be on stopping the sock farm, not stopping those of us doing something about it.

Thanks --Fæ (talk) 16:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

No, no, no. I'm staying out of it. I commented because I thought it was about deleting old files with no good source. We have many files where there is not a good source and we have {{Own assumed}}. I was afraid that it was the beginning of a mass cleanup where we would have to delete thousands of files. In the old days someone uploaded photos with just a text and a license and often it was assumed that if User X uploaded a photo then User X was the photographer unless there was any reason to suspect that it was not the case. As you probably know I usually argue that we should not be extreme when it comes to copyright and delete everything just because there is a slightly chance that we may violate some copyright. That is why I commented in the first place. --MGA73 (talk) 16:54, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

UK legislation...

Could you consider also trying to grab the "Queens Printer" PDF's as well, which are the original (as enacted) printings as well as the PDF's for other versions?

Thanks.

I have no objection to BOTH versions being on Commons. :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:44, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

How would one walk from this xml entry, or File:New Towns Act 1946 (UKPGA 1946-68).pdf, to the Queen's Printer version if it exists and is different from the recommended PDF? --Fæ (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure ... The URL structure for the "QP" version PDF appears to be https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/yyyy/cc/pdfs/ukpga_yyyycccc_en.pdf (so you could write a script to take http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/yyyy/cc/enacted and convert it).. (in the PDF filename the cc is seemingly padded with leading zeros so it's 4 digits, where as in the directory structure it would not necessarily be padded.)

Not all Acts have QP versions, so you'd also have to test for a 404, or non existence somehow... (and of course test on the Commons side, as some may have been already uploaded as isolates for Wikisource use.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Started, refer to Commons:UK_legislation_project#Queens_Printer. This is strictly 'retrospective', in that files already on Commons are examined for potentially different QP versions.
