Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 November or Thursday, 10 November 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Captions in January

The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you.

Please note, you were granted this right due to the imminent discontinuation of the extended uploader right. As of February 7th, autopatrolled individuals will have the same rights as extended uploaders so that user group is being removed. You will be able to upload by url once the configuration changes are made by the developers. If you have any questions about this please let me know. --Majora (talk) 01:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Blockade of a bucket-wheel excavator at the Garzweiler surface mine 01.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Blockade of a bucket-wheel excavator at the Garzweiler surface mine 01.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Structured Data - development update, March 2019

This text is also posted on the Structured Data hub talk page. You can reply there with questions, comments, or concerns.

A development update for the current work by the Structured Data on Commons team:

After the release of multilingual file captions, work began on getting depicts and other statements ready for release. These were originally scheduled for release in February and into March, however there are currently two major blockers to finishing this work (T215642, T217157). We will know more next week about when depicts and statements can likely be ready for testing and then release; until then I've tentatively updated the release schedule.

Once the depicts feature is ready for testing, it will take place in two stages on TestCommons. The first is checking the very basics; is the design comfortable, how does the simple workflow of adding/editing/removing statements work, and building up help and process pages from there. The second part is a more detailed test of depicts and other statements, checking the edge-case examples of using the features, bugs that did not come up during simple testing, etc. Additionally we'll be looking with the community for bugs in interaction with bots, gadgets, and other scripts once the features are live on Commons. Please let me know if you're interesting in helping test and fix these bugs if they show up upon release, it is really hard to find them in a test environment or, in some cases, bugs won't show up in a testing environment at all.

One new thing is definitely coming within the next few weeks, pending testing: the ability to search for captions. This is done using the inlabel keyword in search strings, and will be the first step in helping users find content that is specifically structured data. I'll post a notice when that feature is live and ready for use.

Thanks, let me know if you have questions about these plans. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:34, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

File tagging File:Scientists4Future statement in German with supporter list.pdf

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Scientists4Future statement in German with supporter list.pdf. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

Structured Data - early depicts testing

The Structured Data on Commons development team has the very basic version of depicts statements available for early testing on Test-Commons. You can add very basic depicts statements to the file page by going into the new “Structured Data” tab located below the "Open in Media Viewer button." You can use the Latest Files link in the left side nav bar to select existing images, or use the UploadWizard to upload new ones to test with (although those images won’t actually show up on the site). The test site is not a fully functional replica of Commons, so there may be some overall problems in using the site, but you should be able to get a general idea of what using the feature is like.

Early next week I will call for broad, community-wide testing of the feature similar to what we did for Captions, with instructions for testing, known bugs, and a dedicated space to discuss the feature as well as a simple help page for using statements. Until then, you're welcome to post on the SDC talk page with what you might find while testing depicts.

Thanks in advance for trying it out, you'll be hearing more from me next week. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2019

Hallo GPSLeo,

vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2019 kannst Du wieder beim Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland (WLE 2019) teilnehmen. Gesucht sind selbst aufgenommene Landschafts- und Naturfotos aus Schutzgebieten in Deutschland.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg kann diese Übersichtsseite dienen.

WLE 2019 kann nur durchgeführt werden, wenn weitere Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen unser Team verstärken. Es geht unter anderem um die Organisation in der Wikipedia und das Sortieren der Bilder auf Commons. Über Art und Umfang der Beteiligung entscheidest Du selbst.

Wie in den Vorjahren übernimmt eine Vorjury ab Anfang Mai die Vorauswahl der Bilder. Auch daran kannst Du Dich gern beteiligen. Bei Interesse trage Dich bitte unter WLE-Vorjury ein, das Passwort kommt per E-Mail.

Besonders engagierte Freiwillige werden für die Jury benötigt. Wenn Du vom 12. bis 14. Juli in Fulda die besten Bilder küren willst, melde Dich auf der Jury-Seite.

Wir wünschen viel Freude beim Fotografieren,

--GPSLeo (talk) (im Auftrag des Organisationsteams) 17:01, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Fotos in Spandau

Hi GPSLeo,
ich glaube wir sind uns noch nicht begegnet – danke jedenfalls für deine Fotos bisher! Weil ich gesehen habe, dass du aus Spandau kommst und dort auch Gebäude fotografiert hast, wollte ich dich folgendes fragen: Ich habe mir gerade das Buch „Der Himmel unter West-Berlin“ gekauft, in dem sehr ausführlich die Werke von Rainer G. Rümmler beschrieben werden, v.a. die U-Bahnhöfe. Letztere sind ja relativ gut dokumentiert, aber viele seiner anderen Gebäude sind dies nicht. Weder in der Wikipedia, noch in Wikidata, noch auf Wikimedia Commons. Ich würde mich nun gerne demnächst um eine Werkliste Rümmlers kümmern, und wollte dich fragen, ob ich dir ein paar Gebäude in Spandau nennen könnte, die du vielleicht fotografierst. Wäre das möglich? Danke dir im Voraus, --Jcornelius (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - testing qualifiers for depicts

As you might have seen, testing is underway for adding qualifiers to depicts statements. If you have not left feedback already, the Structured Data on Commons development team is very interested in hearing about your experience using qualifiers on the file page and in the UploadWizard. To get started you can visit Test-Commons and chose a random file to test out, or upload your own file to try out the UploadWizard. Questions, comments, and concerns can be left on the Structured data talk page and the team will address them as best as they can. Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Drohne Aufnahmen Wiki Foto wettbewerb

Guten Tag, an dem Ort wo die Fotos aufgenommen wurde ist kein Schutzgebiet. Das Schutzgebiet beginnt erst in einer Entfernung von ca 100m zum Schutzgebiet. Geprüft wurde dies mit einer Geomap welche alle Schutzgebiete zeigt. Es ist lediglich verboten direkt über Naturschutzgebiete zu fliegen, die Grenze dahin wurde jedoch nicht überschritten!

Regarding the COM:VP/P discussion about revoking of Confirmed rank after the person is autoconfirmed

Ok. So let me show you the differences between Confirmed and Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed is a permanent group while Confirmed is a special group. So, if Confirmed disables Autoconfirmed permanently, if you get blocked, it will lead to the special rights being revoked. Calvinkulit (talk) 02:40, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

I would think if someone gets blocked the user should also loose the special rights. Maybe except bots with an error need to be stopped. --GPSLeo (talk) 07:15, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging

The development team is starting work on one of the last planned features for SDC v1.0, a lightweight tool to suggest depicts tags for images. I've published a project page for it, please have a look. I plan to share this page with everyone on Commons much more broadly in the coming days. The tool has been carefully designed to try to not increase any workload on Commons volunteers; for starters, it will be opt-in for auto-confirmed users only and will not generate any sort of backlog here on Commons. Additionally, the tool is highly privacy-minded for the contributors and publicly-minded for the third party being used, in this case Google. The implementation and usage notes contain more information about these and other potential concerns as a starting place. It's really important that the tool is implemented properly from the start, so feedback is welcome. Questions, comments, concerns are welcome on the talk page and I will get answers as quickly as possible as things come up. On the talk page you can also sign up to make sure you're a part of the feedback for designs and prototype testing. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Code issues in User:GPSLeo/common.js

Hi GPSLeo, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

1. You edited User:GPSLeo/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
2. Though, that change appears to introduce 12 new jshint issues — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

• Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
• Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Kategorie indirekt bereits in der 2. enthalten ist. Näheres unter COM:CAT. Auch finde ich es nicht unbedingt hilfreich, etliche sich kaum unterscheidende Fotos hochzuladen. Grüße, --Joschi71 (talk) 17:30, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Hallo, Danke für den Hinweis. Die Kategorien kommen jedoch nicht von mir, sondern aus der WLM UploadWizard Kampagne für NRW. Die ist wohl etwas ungünstig eingestellt. --GPSLeo (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

File size software

Hi! I wish the discussion re: file size hadn't yet been archived. I tried uploading the file from Japan, without a VPN, and got a "Invalid chunk offset" error. I suppose this is something the technical guys need to fix (allowing the upload of files over 4 Gigabytes) WhisperToMe (talk) 11:52, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

What is the size of the file? And which upload method did you used? --GPSLeo (talk) 12:29, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

From Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2019/09#Exception_for_file_size_restriction? the file is 4.1 GB (not sure if it is above 4 GiB) and I had the Commons 4 GB limit disabled with code. I used the Upload Wizard while in Japan to try to upload the file (I am back in China, where GFW issues further complicate uploading large files). WhisperToMe (talk) 15:20, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

@Colin: I just saw the talk page inquiry about how I'm making the PDFs. The Rycaut book has a total of 671 pages. The resolution of each image is about 2500 x 4359 pixels. I used a Python-based program called "IMG2PDF" to uncompress each JP2 and have it in its high quality state while put into a PDF. To check the filesize I used ImageMagick to convert a JP2 to a PNG, and the filesize ballooned from 154 KB to 5,585 KB. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:16, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm not that familiar with JP2 or IMG2PDF but will try to help. Are you saying that the JP2 files for each individual page were only 154KB? That is really quite small. I'd expect that if the page was scanned to be mostly completely featurely white paper and high contrast, or if you used a very strong lossy compression. Do you have any examples of the JP2 files you created? Could you upload one to DropBox or similar. You can email me if you like. Why did you start with JP2 files? I'm trying to recall if you scanned these yourself? If so, I'd more expect TIFF or PNG output. -- Colin (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC) -- Colin (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

@Colin: I did not create the JP2s themselves, but got them off of the Internet Archive, which houses the original scans of the French version of The Present State of the Ottoman Empire (at https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_29hO1c1EkfkC/ ). Most of the original files hosted on the Internet Archive are JP2s though some use TIFFs instead. The processed JP2s are here https://archive.org/download/bub_gb_29hO1c1EkfkC/bub_gb_29hO1c1EkfkC_jp2.zip and there is a TAR file of the raw book https://archive.org/download/bub_gb_29hO1c1EkfkC/bub_gb_29hO1c1EkfkC_images.tar WhisperToMe (talk) 02:24, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with archive.org or Google Books formats but here's what I've discovered. I downloaded both the "Generic raw book tar" (containing JPEGs) and the "single page processed JP2 ZIP". The quality of the images in both is dire. This is heavily compressed and the raw size of the images (2500x4450) is imo greater than the actually resolution retained after compression. Therefore it makes zero sense to try to store these in uncompressed or lossless-compressed format. The letters on the page have the distinctive "gnats" of distortion round high-contrast edges, and visible square blocks that indicates high JPEG compression. The JP2 files are very soft blurry. The JPEG files are 2x the filesize of the JP2 files and are 1 hour earlier according to the "date modified". Based on this blog page I suspect the JPG files are actually the original downloads from Google Books and the smaller JP2 files derived from them with even higher compression. If the whole TAR file is 600MB (zipping this tar file achieves negligible saving) and the whole set of JPG2 files is 300MB then this tells us that our final PDF really should not be much larger than that -- certainly nowhere near 4GB!

Even if we thought the JPG2 files were the originals, based on this phabricator ticket it seems MediaWiki allows the upload of PDFs containing JPG2 files. But based on the date-time stamp, the blog entry and the filesize, I think actually the JPEG files are the originals. So I recommend using the JPEG files in the TAR and creating a PDF file that is not much larger than 600MB. You should have no problems uploading this to Commons. -- Colin (talk) 09:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok! I'll try to do the JPEG originals when I get a chance! WhisperToMe (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging designs

I've published a design consultation for the computer-aided tagging tool. Please look over the page and participate on the talk page. If you haven't read over the project page, it might be helpful to do so first. The tool will hopefully be ready by the end of this month (October 2019), so timely feedback is important. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Dein Bot addiert depict statements

Hallo, dein Bot addiert massenhaft depict statements zu dateien auf meiner beo. ohne bot flag. eigentlich ist das so nicht erlaubt und mir verunmöglicht es diese edits temporär auszublenden. Ich weiss auch nicht, wie ich diese edits dauerhaft als gesehen zu markieren, ohne jede seite zu öffnen.

Auch mit den konkreten statements habe ich problme. Die cats als strukturierte daten zu übernehmen, scheint mir nicht sinnvoll. das ist doch nur eine fortschreibung des kaputten categoriensystems. Die statements müssten doch eigentlich sein "Dyke", "berlin", "march", "2018", "datum des events", "verwendete kamera", "autor", "kooerdinaten", "veranstalter", usw. - und das alles in jeweils einem einzigen bot flag markierten edit.

--C.Suthorn (talk) 17:59, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Ich habe den Bottask ohne Botflag beantragt, dort wurde das nicht kritisiert. Ich kann das natürlich auch noch ändern. Zu den Statements: Ich füge aktuell nur einfache Statements hinzu. Für Autor gibt es einen anderen Bot, der wohl dabei ist alle 60Mio Dateien abzufahren. Die Aussagen wie "Dyke; march; 2018" sind hier nicht nötig sind sind ja schon im Wikidata Item zum depicts (P180). Datum und Koordinaten sind technisch aktuell nur eingeschränkt möglich. Den Ort füge ich meist nicht per Bot hinzu, da ich das eigentlich gerne Straßengenau machen will, was die Kategorie nicht abbildet. --GPSLeo (talk) 18:27, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Ich würde ausführlicher antworten, aber mein Postfach läuft gerade voll. --C.Suthorn (talk) 19:12, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit the draft at User:Eatcha/sandbox

Hey GPSLeo,

Can you please edit the draft for Use AV1 codec instead of VP9/VP8. -- Eatcha (talk) 10:15, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

selecting license

Hi dear Leo. I have uploaded this photo, and i dont't know that the copyright license is correct or not! I just wanna ask you for the correct license and give help from you. Thanks alot.--Paraw (talk) 23:14, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

No it is not. I think the video is copyrighted and so the screenshot can not be uploaded to commons. --GPSLeo (talk) 01:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Thaks for replying, but that TV (Iran International) has a channel on youtube and all of it's programs are available on that for free and without copy right. How can I register the license for such a file?--Paraw (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Then you have to put the TV Channel in the author field. And if you say the content is public domain you have to change the license to public domain. I can not read Farsi so I can not read where the license is written down. But the license should be linked. Or is it in the video description on youtube? --GPSLeo (talk) 23:09, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Doppelte Aussagen

Hallo!

Dein Bot BotLeo erstellt doppelte Aussagen. Siehe diese Änderung. Da war die Kamera schon gesetzt und dein Bot hat die gleiche Aussage nochmal erstellt. Einen ähnlichen Fall hatte ich vor ein paar Tagen schonmal. --Reclus (talk) 09:13, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Oh, merkwürdig. Eigentlich sollten bereits vorhandene Werte erkannt und nicht hinzugefügt werden. Eigentlich hat das bisher auch immer funktioniert. Auch bei anderen Dateien im gleichen Batch. --GPSLeo (talk) 09:30, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Gerade habe ich rausgefunden, dass oben von mir erwähnte ähnliche Fall dieselbe Datei war. Es ging aber um das Motiv. Siehe: diese Änderung. --Reclus (talk) 10:46, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Da scheint sich die Datenbank wohl an diesem Bild verschluckt zu haben. Jetzt gibt die API korrekt zurück, dass diese Aussage schon da ist und mein Skript erkennt das auch korrekt. --GPSLeo (talk) 10:51, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Füg bei diesem Bild doch mal Fridays for Future protest in Berlin 8 November 2019 (Q74066768) genauso hinzu, wie du es bei der Datei oben gemacht hast, zum gucken, ob der Fehler dann wieder auftritt. --GPSLeo (talk) 10:56, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Ok, ist passiert. --Reclus (talk) 11:44, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Da hat jetzt alles korrekt funktioniert, war also wohl wirklich ein Einzelfall. --GPSLeo (talk) 11:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Ok. Danke! Nebenbei: Du verwendest eine Datumsschreibweise, die ähnlich wie das ISO-Datumsformat aussieht, aber nicht ist. So kann das zu Verwirrungen führen. In der Kategorie Demonstrations and protests in Berlin in 2019 sind dann beide Formate auch gemischt. Überlege dir doch bitte, ob du nicht in Zukunft nicht das ISO-Format verwenden willst. Es ist normalerweise in Commons das bevorzugte Format, auch wenn ich auf die Schnelle nichts zu Datei- und Kategoriennamen gefunden habe. --Reclus (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Es stimmt, die yyyy-mm-dd Schreibweise ist die übliche, dd-mm-yyyy ist aber auch erlaubt. Bei den meisten neuen Dateien und Kategorien nutzte ich auch den Standard, nur in diesem Fall wollte ich die Einheitlichkeit beibehalten. --GPSLeo (talk) 12:11, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Computer-aided tagging tool testing now available for you

You've been added to an internal whitelist (not available on-wiki) to test the tool over the next week.

Statement-Duplikate

Hi GPSLeo, ich habe soeben einige deiner Botbearbeitungen rückgängig gemacht. Sie haben doppelte Statements erzeugt, siehe z.B. hier: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Rurberg_Panorama-2750-53.jpg&action=history . Dein Bot hatte am 18. November erstmalig das Statement gesetzt. Beherrscht das von die verwendete Bot-Framework eine Prüfung auf Dupes? Raymond 20:37, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Ja, die hat auch für über 100 andere Bilder in der Kategorie funktioniert. Das hatte ich vor ein paar Wochen auch schon mal für ein einzelnes Foto. das scheint ein Fehler bei der API zu ein, die nicht korrekt zurück gibt, dass die Aussage schon existiert. Ich pack mal ein logging zu dem Skript dazu, damit ich das, wenn es noch mal auftritt besser reporten kann. --GPSLeo (talk) 07:30, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

OK, danke fürs Nachschauen. Raymond 07:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Neuer Tag, neues Duplikat, oder wie nennt man so einen Dreisprung? Raymond 14:08, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Der Rurstausee sollte jetzt aufgeräumt sein und mein Skript ist hoffentlich auch gefixt. --GPSLeo (talk) 20:14, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Herzlichen Dank. Raymond 20:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Please be more careful

Hello! I've seen your bot working ... But please be more careful. At File:Berlin, Brandenburger Tor -- 2019 -- 6331.jpg the new statement was already set and it's now twice. I'll fix it, but it may be better, if your bot does not set statements already set. Thank you. --XRay ^talk 06:10, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Du bist der deutschen Sprache mächtig, einfacher für mich. (In der Eile hätte mir das auch so bekannt sein sollen.) Bei den strukturierten Daten achtet die Schnittstelle nicht selbst darauf, ob etwas schon da ist. Ich hatte mir einen Bot für meine Bilder geschrieben und hatte gerade zu Anfang diverse Erkenntnisse erhalten. Es ist nicht alles einfach lösbar. Das Ableiten von Kategorien setzt auf jeden Fall voraus, vorher zu schauen, ob vielleicht passende Werte da sind. Das hat dazu geführt, dass ich etliche Konfigurationsdaten pflege. Also auch so etwas, dass bei "Brandenburger Tor" nicht auch noch "Tor" gesetzt wird. Derzeit habe ich allerdings das Problem, dass es mehrere Bots gibt, die einfach setzen. Das bedeutet für mich leider immer wieder unnötigen manuellen Pflegeaufwand. Aber dein Bot kann das bestimmt auch bald. Danke! --XRay ^talk 06:14, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Mein Problem ist aktuell, dass die API (zumindest in dem von mir genutzten framework mwclient) sowohl bei einem wirklichen Fehler, als auch, wenn das Bild noch keinerlei strukturierten Daten enthält den gleichen Fehler ausgibt. Wirklich vernünftig testen kann ich das leider auch nicht, da das eben nur ab und zu bei Durchgängen mit mehreren hundert Bildern auftritt. --GPSLeo (talk) 16:13, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
