Hello,
I know the user account is not following the bot's recommandation to have "bot" in its name but I have an explanation :) This account has been used up to today mainly to contribute on French wikipédia, and Commons is the only place where it will run bot-like operations, and it should run it just once. I could create another account for my library but I have already uploaded 274 files with this one (I know, I should have asked earlier but I had forgotten, I was so excited to run the full upload :)) and I'd like to keep everything under the same user's account. Hope that is an acceptable explanation! Symac (talk) 07:54, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- How many upload are intended to be done with this run? --Krd 11:10, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Krd: : 2523 files are to be uploaded, minus the 274 already done => ~2300. Symac (talk) 11:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- I'd say this task can be done without botflag. --Krd 11:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Krd: this is what I was thinking and that's why I started >200 files then I stopped my script when reading on Commons:Guide_to_batch_uploading#Create_new_user_for_your_upload_bot : "If you do not already have one you will need to request bot account at Commons:Bots/Requests.". From what I have read even if I don't need the botflag I need to ask there, I don't see any problem with this, especially as feedback has already been gathered on the batch upload request, but I am not a regular "bulk uploader" so I wanted to be sure.

- I think it's fine to upload without bot status. May be even better if somebody will notice photos and help with categorization. But upload rate should be low.
- Contributions seems fine for me.

- @EugeneZelenko: thanks for the feedback. Many pictures are already categorized as a colleague of mine had linked them to the corresponding wikipedia article and using wikipedia > wikidata link I have been able to fetch many categories. And I am in contact with local wikipedians, ready to enrich the descriptions and categorize the pictures, that should be nice :) As everybody seems to think I should not have opened this request I will run my script tomorrow if there is no objection before that.
