Discussion
This is the bot account I've started using for some of the bot work that I previously did for years with my volunteer bot account but which are now happening more in my role as an employee of Wikimedia Sverige (there are still also some GLAM specific bot accounts). Since the account switch happened on short notice this bot has actually already done a batch upload of National Gallery of Sweden paintings (info processing source code, upload source code).
The batch specific processing code for the next batch (images from the Cultural Heritage Board of Sweden) can be found here. The change between this and the other batches is that it will upload by url instead of from my local drive. /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 16:23, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
- Looks OK for me, but I think will be good idea if humans will participate to add subject related categories after uploads. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:25, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- I add maintenance categories to the cases where the categorisation is insufficient. We'll also try to have a drive to get people to give all of the images some love after they are uploaded but the results of that is of course outside of my control. /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 13:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Which is the volunteer bot account mentioned above? --Krd 15:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry. That would be User:L_PBot (and looking at the page I realise I haven't updated it since 2012 whereas the bot has been doing an increasing numeber of tasks since 2007). /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 13:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
Approved. --Krd 05:21, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
