Commons:Batch uploading
Request a batch upload | Current requests | Past batch uploads | Failed batch uploads |
Commons Batch Uploading is a project to centralize the uploading of a collection of files, that have released their work as PD or any Commons compatible license. The files would be assigned to a bot operator who would see how the request would be fulfilled.
Before you request a batch upload here, please read the guide to batch uploading first.
See w:Wikipedia:Public domain image resources for potential future batch uploads.

Description
[edit]The linked profile is mine, and I upload all my observations as CC-BY-SA. I'd like to import all of my observation images to Commons in bulk, and audio observations too if possible. An example image would be https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/432698136/original.jpeg (from this observation), and an example audio file would be https://static.inaturalist.org/sounds/1204663.wav?1726706336 (from this observation).
Ideally, all images would have the category for their identified species if the observation is classed as research-grade, and would also be added to Category:Photos taken by User:Suntooooth (or Category:Non-photos created by User:Suntooooth for audio) for personal tracking purposes. Other relevant categories are Category:Media from iNaturalist and Category:Media from iNaturalist with obscured location. Templates to use include {{INaturalistreview}} and {{INaturalist}}.
As of posting this request, there are 94 observations (some of which have multiple images), so it's not a huge amount, but still too many to do by hand. User:Kaldari/iNaturalist2Commons, Wiki Loves iNaturalist, and iNat2Wiki exist, and may be useful for reference (none allow bulk uploads of a whole account's media as far as I can tell).

[edit]1. All the metadata including file names and locations is in this Google Sheet.
2. Photos are within folders named after sites photographs were taken. The metadata file has references to locations.
- Do the media URLs follow a pattern: Yes, metadata file has details.
- Does the site have an API: Not sure. It is a Google Drive folder.
- What else could ease uploading: Metadata file.
- Did you contact the site owner: Photos are uploaded to my personal Google Drive.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages, or should one be created: In the metadata file.

- Hello @AmitGuha. Rows 469 and 470 has no Creator. Should it be assumed to be George Michell or be left blank? -- DaxServer (talk) 09:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Are the GPS coordinates: of the building or of the photographer? -- DaxServer (talk) 10:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Would you be able to provide some Wikimedia Commons categories for the files?
- By default, they'd added to Category:George Michell and Category:Centre for Studies in Social Sciences -- DaxServer (talk) 10:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Is Commons:Batch uploading/George Michell Bengal Temples request a duplicate? -- DaxServer (talk) 11:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- There are quite some discrepancies in the Sheets compared to the Drive. Please refine them, it's becoming harder for me to validate -- DaxServer (talk) 14:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks @DaxServer for the comments above.
- 1. I will fix all of the missing creator and discrepancies on sheets vs drive and respond here.
- 2. Yes, I will provide additional Wikimedia Commons categories
- I have found some other errors as well. I will need a couple of weeks to fix this and will respond and tag you here when I'm done.
- On the other questions:
- 1. The GPS coordinates are of the buildings
- 2. Commons:Batch uploading/George Michell Bengal Temples is a duplicate and can be removed
- Thanks again! AmitGuha (talk) 21:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Description
[edit]- Do the media URLs follow a pattern?
- Description page: for example
https://russiainphoto.ru/photos/180701/
, but not all files are in order in the catalog numbering system - Description pages contain plenty of metadata such as title, caption, source museum, date taken, place taken and keywords, which should be included
- Full size images: for example
https://735606.selcdn.ru/thumbnails/photos/2017/09/04/ztjzboam0rskxuxz_1024.jpg
, however not every file was uploaded on the same day and some files have urls likehttps://735606.selcdn.ru/thumbnails/photos/9/6/o/96o52b30d244f515_1024.jpg
- Description page: for example
- Does the site have an API? - Yes
- What could ease uploading? The source code for every image page brought up by search query [1] includes source code with this text.
<div class="share share_size_small b-photo__share-block" data-description="" data-title="Подвеска авиабомб в самолет Пе-2, 1941 год" data-url="https://russiainphoto.ru/photos/180589/" data-image="https://735606.selcdn.ru/thumbnails/photos/2017/09/04/qpip0gtkuggujqqo_1024.jpg"></div>
- Information from the field data-title should be the image title
- data-url is the description url
- data-image is the link to the full size image
- Did you contact the site owner? - Not necessary
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages, or should one be created? - Not necessary

- Full size downlaod link

- Description pages contain plenty of metadata such as title, caption, sub-collection, dates published/digitized, subject keywords, general keywords, physical location/description, "Data entered by"/uploader, language, usage rights (always PD)/use credits (not mandatory), record number/ContentDM record number, which should be included
- Description page:
- Does the site have an API? - I don't know
- What else could ease uploading?
- Unrelated general thing I noted is that the majority of files have a very recent digitisation date (after 2020)
- Did you contact the site owner? Not nessescary
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages, or should one be created?
- Something like {{LOC-image}} could be created

- -- DaxServer (talk) 18:14, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- @TheImaCow Could you create the template based on the LOC-image as you suggested? Do you have any suggestions on the categorization schema? I suppose the files go into specific collection category. Apart from this, other categories?
- I can start working on this and file for a bot task approval when ready. -- DaxServer (talk) 18:17, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- This looks very good, thanks for your work already!
- I created {{USACE image}} based on similar templates, where parameter 1 is the <collection ID> and parameter 2 the <ContentDM record ID>.
- I think categorisation can be done like the USGov FEMA import from 15 years ago, categorization mirroring the collectionID (see subcats of Category:Images from FEMA called "Images from FEMA, category XXX" - for example we use something like "Images from USACE, Fish & Wildlife reports collection". I will create such categories in a moment.
- + a category like the recently created Category:Images from NPGallery to check on all files that can be removed when the actual content categories have been added manually. TheImaCow (talk) 19:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- @DaxServer I created Category:Images from USACE+subcats for the individual collections + Category:Images from USACE to check.
- I noted that above you mentioned "JPEG is presumed to be available for all files."
- This appears to be correct, however, a large portion of the media are PDF files/scanned documents, where, when requesting a JPG, only the title page would be uploaded, nonsense obivously. I am not sure how to get the PDF using the way described above, as I can't add a .pdf into the .<format> nor is PDF stated under the aviable file types at info.json
- However adding /api/ and appending /download to the URL downloads the proper PDF
https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p16021coll7/id/22887/download
-example, but there might be a better way. - (Files where the manifest states "file type" "pdf" should not uploaded as JPG) TheImaCow (talk) 20:08, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Of course, yes. I was only referring to images and probably should have said "presumed to be available for all images" instead 😅 -- DaxServer (talk) 10:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- BTW, do you want to create a {{USACE file}} or {{USACE work}} or some sorts for these pdfs? Additionally, the {{USACE image}} can just invoke the former with a "image" argument so the templating is not duplicated? -- DaxServer (talk) 10:04, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Here's what I'll use:
- Collection API - https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/search/collection/p16021coll7/page/2/maxRecords/50
- Item API - https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collections/p16021coll7/items/22884/false
- Download API - https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p16021coll7/id/22884/download
- FWIW their API needs some overhaul into fixing things and streamlining -- DaxServer (talk) 13:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- I added an "image=yes/no" parameter to the template where it either states "This document..." or "This image...". (And "This work..." if the parameter is missing) Can be added based on filetype, but I don't think that it really matters. TheImaCow (talk) 14:39, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've downloaded the entire metadata into my OpenRefine. I think this would enable us to strategize the work.
- Would you be able to devise a schema for the {{Information}} so that we can add as much information as we can? I'm also studying the structure and can share my thoughts once I process them. -- DaxServer (talk) 19:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, as it is from 1847, 177 years old. It's creator died 1889, so {{PD-art-100-expired}} applies. Are there more items which are not labeled as PD? TheImaCow (talk) 11:01, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- There are a few, ~30 or so, that are deemed restrictive and do not provide access to content. Ex - https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16021coll6/id/1100 -- DaxServer (talk) 13:05, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

- Here are the contentTypes:
- application/octet-stream 82
- application/pdf 29550
- application/url 487
- audio/mpeg 1
- image/jp2 17124
- image/jpeg 5
- image/tiff 141
- restricted 31
- video/mp4 45
- Some notes and questions:
- The octet-stream contents are mainly ppt/x, doc/x, exe, pdf, zip. I think I'll skip these, if necessary can be manually uploaded.
- Here are the URL types: https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16021coll11/id/3967
- For TIFF files, I'll upload them as they're lossless and the community seem to prefer them
- Do you know which info template to use for video instead of {{Photograph}} ?
- Do we just note the photographer and/or publisher to be text or do we create a Creator: and/or Institution: namespace entries and use that to enrich info?
- Do we put the {{USACE image}} template in accession number field?
- -- DaxServer (talk) 13:32, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Since jp2 format is not supported on Commons, I'll use IIIF download to fetch jpeg version -- DaxServer (talk) 14:05, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, all of the images are provided in TIFF, I'll upload them instead. -- DaxServer (talk) 15:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would leave out everything that is not image/PDF, audio, URL, exe, "restricted", videos too. Creating creator templates for authors would be very good, is there a way to show the authors with the most files? (prob. everything over 100 or so is something we can create a template for)
- USACE image template: I picked the accession number field, because I think it fits the best. The objects don't have a identifier other than the two IDs assigned by the record mangament system - which are then present as part of the template.
- TIF issue: I compared some 15 objects from various collections JPG vs TIF using both GIMP/Windows Photo Viewer, and the image quality is always 1:1 the same, pixel by pixel the same. See https://i.imgur.com/iowJb9X.png for a quick comparison, left JPG right TIF. (files used are p15141coll5/3453 and p15141coll5/10765)
- The TIFs here are in no way better quality, therefore we don't loose anything when using the JPGs. (there is apparently consensous to not create JPG duplicates, but nothing againest uploading only JPGs) TheImaCow (talk) 22:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Here are the most used "Personal creator"s:
- Cameron, Harry F. - 315
- Rowland, Chester A. - 140
- Jordan, Jonas - 83
- Wood - 38
- Ryan, Robert H. - 31
- Knuppel, Lee - 26
- O'Sullivan, Timothy H. - 26
- Boswell, Ray - 17
- Majors - 14
- Wu, Andy - 14
- Garver, Cpt. - 11
- Re TIFs, I'll upload the JPEGs instead per your observation. -- DaxServer (talk) 13:33, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- For the depicted places, Local place and State can have multiple values. Ex: https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16021coll6/id/1918 How should we approach that? -- DaxServer (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- The only creator I could find anything about is Timothy H. O'Sullivan, who was a known/notable photographer, template already at {{Creator:Timothy H. O'Sullivan}}. Unfortunaly I couldn't find anything reliable about any of the other people. Sometimes people with the same name were apparently involved in e.g. the Vietnam War, but their photos are from WW2 and there is no mention about them being in WW2, and similar situations.
- Different states: I don't think that this is very common, and since it is on a PDF, I think we can ignore then location then - don't think it's worth creating a special case for that.
- What I noticed at the same file is the very long title. Commons files names are up to 240 bytes long, this title would have ~3600 bytes. However this file has an much shorter "alternate title" field "River & harbor annual reports, 1883-1892". We should use the "alternate title" as the main title/file name here, and the "title" as "|description=" (as there is no description otherwise either). If there are too long file names/titles without an alternate title, we should cap the title with "..." or so. TheImaCow (talk) 08:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- What needs to be done with the Use credits? I didn't get what you meant by Example -- DaxServer (talk) 11:53, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oops, "example" was the placeholder when generating the table preset using the source editor, and I forget replacing it.
- The "credit_line=" parameter in the photograph/book templates should be used for "Use credit" values. TheImaCow (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- The location seems pretty complicated and not just a simple combination of <Local place> <State> <Country>. It requires significant effort to cleanup and streamline. Do you have any thoughts on how to avoid that? -- DaxServer (talk) 07:42, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would suggest to use three seperate fields for Place/State/Country then. However, the Artwork template supports only up to four custom fields (using {{Information field}}/other_fields/other_fields_1/2/3 parameters). Three of these custom parameters are already used (Date digizized, resolution, subjects), so either we add support for more custom parameters to {{Artwork}} -no clue how to-, or we limit to using only the "Local place" value. (Using the other_fields_1= parameter, which has not been used so far).
- It appears that the Country/State values can be easily inferred from the local place value anyway. ~TheImaCow (talk) 10:03, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- @TheImaCow Unfortunately I won't be able to work on the Place/State/Country field. That would be upto someone else to take up on. If that is okay with you, let me know and I can conclude the templating and do a test run. -- DaxServer (talk) 07:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, than we'll just continue without it. ~TheImaCow (talk) 11:01, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I did a test run. Can you check - Special:ListFiles/CuratorBot -- DaxServer (talk) 19:19, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good. There is this file, which is watermarked and noted "Contact A&M for usage rights.". Searching for files where there is something noted about "usage rights" only returns this file and this image, which should be excluded.
- Otherwise, metadata, categories, etc. looks really good. ~TheImaCow (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Is there something specific to add in SDC? Other bots seem to add quite some basic statements, so we don't have to do that ourselves. -- DaxServer (talk) 20:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Are there any inferred categories that can be added during the upload? (asked at the bot request) -- DaxServer (talk) 07:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Re SDC, I don't really know much about that. We could probably add something like "copyright public domain", "filetype image/jpg", or similar, but since there are already other bots doing that everywhere, I personally don't think its worth the effort.
- Re categories, I replied there.
- Re language template (at the bot request), the values we should place inside
{{EN|1=XXXX}}
are Description, Subjects, Notes, Title, Collection, Author, Publisher, Genre. ~TheImaCow (talk) 19:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Current state is very good, however, It looks like uploads of the "Photographs" category have stopped at around the letter "R" ([2]), a few thousand images are still missing there. ~TheImaCow (talk) 16:50, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

(see terms of use: Some of the digitized archive records in the finding aid system of the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg are still subject to copyright protection, some are exempt from copyright protection as official works, and some are in the public domain. Where they are protected by copyright, the State Archives hold the corresponding exploitation rights and grant a Creative Commons CC-BY license.)
The source "Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg" and the archive reference ID of the image needs to be mentioned when using the image - this information is also always present on the image when downloading fron the website.
Description
[edit]- Do the media URLs follow a pattern?
Yes, from what I can see: Each image can be viewed in an image viewer. The image viewer can be accessed from the archive series page (example)
Those image viewer links look like this: https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/zoom.php?bestand=SERIES_ID&id=IMAGE_ID&gewaehlteSeite=FILE_NAME (for example https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/zoom.php?bestand=21715&id=2836819&gewaehlteSeite=02_0001128649_0001_2-1128649-1.png)
The image file can be downloaded by using https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/download.php?&id=IMAGE_ID&bilddatei=FILE_NAME (example https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/download.php?&id=2836819&bilddatei=02_0001128649_0001_2-1128649-1.png)
- Does the site have an API?
No.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages, or should one be created?
Since there is a huge amount of files, creating one might by a good idea.
TheImaCow (talk) 09:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- I started scraping and it is going well. Do you know of files that fall under CC BY 3.0 ? -- DaxServer (talk) 07:55, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- All 25,700,000 digitized objects do, per the terms of use.
- There is already {{Landesarchiv-bw-image}}, which references
- - the archive location (collapsed sections above, see the "Table of identification codes" on the template documentation)
- - the archive signature of the object (such as "W 145/4 Nr. 0091")
- - the permanent link ID to the digitized object such as "5-790216-1" (http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=5-790216-1)
- This can be used in an information template "accession_number" field.
- As for the |source= field, there is clear guidance: We cite the archive signature, if known the author and the permalink, such as
- "
Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Staatsarchiv Freiburg W 145/4 Nr. 0091 / Fotograf: Leopold Adler
" - Example without known/specified author:
- "
Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg K 414 I Nr 273
" - As for the licencing template, I think we should use a custom version of the {{Cc-by-3.0}} template, I created {{LABW}} (for parameter 1, use the same value as for "source" described above)
- What data exactly is there to scrape? Is there a way to tell if an object is a photograph or something else (map, drawing, text)? (to decide weather to use {{Photograph}}) ~TheImaCow (talk) 11:03, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm scraping the metadata and the images associated with an object. An object can contain one or more [digitalized] images (of course, only those Findbücher that are digitalized).
- The metadata can be accessed by clicking the Details in the Strukturansicht view. URL format - https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/druckansicht.php?id_titlaufn=IMAGE_ID&bestand=SERIES_ID In the example above from permalink http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=5-790216-1 - click on the Details, it will open a small popup with info. The direct URL would be https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/druckansicht.php?id_titlaufn=3092053&bestand=23318
- From this view, this particular object has good metadata to determine what it is, for example:
- Art der Infomation = Bild
- Art der Vorlage = Glasplatte
- Format = 16 x 11 cm
- Not all objects have such good info.
- From this view, this particular object has good metadata to determine what it is, for example:
- The info on the images can be obtained from the thumbnail view - that's the magnifying glass icon in the Strukturansicht view. URL format - https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/thumbnails.php?bestand=SERIES_ID&id=IMAGE_ID An example would be
- https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/thumbnails.php?bestand=7564&id=7278223 for multiple images all of which have the same Bestellsignatur
- https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/bild_zoom/thumbnails.php?bestand=23318&id=3092053 for single image
- The metadata can be accessed by clicking the Details in the Strukturansicht view. URL format - https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/druckansicht.php?id_titlaufn=IMAGE_ID&bestand=SERIES_ID In the example above from permalink http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=5-790216-1 - click on the Details, it will open a small popup with info. The direct URL would be https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/druckansicht.php?id_titlaufn=3092053&bestand=23318
- I haven't yet explored the data that I've gathered so far, so I've limited info atm. -- DaxServer (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Things I noted regarding file names - some images have no title (eg "Keine Angabe"), then we should only use the archive ID (PL 723 DK 94-2), and if the images have title, we should probably start the file name with the archive ID, because they are sometimes sorted by date or relation etc, and this preserves the original file order in the categories, e.g. "PL 723 DK 55-20 - Bf. Kupfer", where the "20" is a running number.
- I removed some series from the above table...
- - T 1 (Zugang 2008/0013)/SERIES ID 22257 only text documents
- - T 1 (Zugang 2008/0032)/22664 only low quality scans of personal photos, probably out of scope
- - T 1 (Zugang 1983/0018-01)/10461 only text documents
- - J 153/political party advertising often recently collected by the archive, unlikely if actually free
- - Q 2/50 - 17,000 negative photo bags containing ~520,000 individual photographs, unfortunaly low scan quality, so extracted images are of very poor quality
- All objects seem to have their "category tree" as part of the description, such as
- Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg
- \/
- Deposita, nichtstaatliche Archive und Nachlässe / 1335-1997
- \/
- Nachlässe (ohne Deposita)
- \/
- PL 723 Nachlass Hans Noller: Sammlung zum Eisenbahnwesen in Württemberg / Ca. 1844-2011
- \/
- 2. KB-Dias
- \/
- Stuttgart - Horb ("Gäubahn")
- \/
- Diakasten 18: Stuttgart - Horb I
- at this object: http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=2-5340602-1
- I think it would be a good idea to automatically copy these category trees as commons categories, as this would make the manual categorisation needed for the images significantly easier. Such a category tree has already been created for the US National Archives upload, see Category:US National Archives Record Groups. ~TheImaCow (talk) 12:42, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm scraping the metadata and the images associated with an object. An object can contain one or more [digitalized] images (of course, only those Findbücher that are digitalized).
TheImaCow I was able to collect 375,357 records (many with multiple files). Here is a statistic of the metadata:
Key | proposed value/usage |
---|---|
Archivalienart | I see values such as "Fotos" or "Karten und Pläne". Can be used to decide weather to use {{Photograph}}, {{Map}} or generic {{Information}}. However, it looks like the majority of media lack this tag, and we should use "Photograph" as default, as by far most images are photos. Except collections such as A 47/1 which consist of documents, there we can use the normal information template. I also see the value "Personenakten", where are also many images but the majority of files are text documents, so we use the normal Information template there. There will be some false-positives, but they can be fixed manually. |

- Do you want them to be uploaded with translation into EN? Or simply use the {{de template and be done with that?
Let me know how you want to proceed now. -- DaxServer (talk) 22:00, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- I added some {{Information}}/{{Photograph}} template values for the original keys to the table. I think we should only use the original "{{de" values, english translations should be done manually.

[edit]Description
[edit]All of these photographs are of the 2023 Army-Navy Game. Therefore, they should be uploaded and placed in Category:2023 Army-Navy Game
While all images are Army photographs taken by Army photographers in the course of their duty (and therefore are available for use under the license {{PD-USGov-Army}}), the Army did not list them under a public domain license when they uploaded them to Flickr, making it impossible for me to upload them on the Flickr2commons tool or at the UploadWizzard. Furthermore, the album has more than 500 photographs, making it impossible to download the album in its entirety as a zip file (Flickr only allows you to do that in albums that are at max 500 photographs).
If there was a tool made available to me that would allow uploading similar to Flickr2commons in instances when PD images were added to flickr without being identified as PD that'd be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, if someone with access to a tool of that kind can do that for me, that'd also be great.
These images capture a notable annual sporting event, feature notable military figures in attendance, capture many traditions of American football, and also capture notable collegiate football players. Therefore, they would be valuable to the project. Once these are uploaded I plan to sift through them and identify individuals of note, and sub-categorize some of the images as well. So please let me know when this task is accomplished.
The file description would ideally copy what each file is captioned as on Flickr. If not, something like "2024 Army-Navy Game" might suffice. Ideally, each photo would be linked under "source" to the photo's individual Flickr hyperlink. If not, they could simply be linked to the album's hyperlink.
Ideally, each photograph should have a title that identifies which number photo it is on Flickr.

[edit]784 videos (and counting, as of the time I'm writing this) of pure IBM and technology-related gold. Lots of great photography and headshots to extract from these. Some of the content therein may contain non-free elements over the de minimis threshold, but from what I've watched so far those are few and far in between. Would be trivial to download all videos using youtube-dl; reencoding each video to fit within the 100 MB upload limit is a different story however.

The majority of these files are audio files to be uploaded to Category:Audio files of music by Bull of Heaven or its subcategory Category:Roman Numeral series, and the ones with three-digit numbers in front of them will have their titles formatted like the examples already in that category. However, it should be noted that Bull of Heaven is a very avant-garde band, and so, not all of their releases will have a single OGG file that contains all of the music for that release. In that case, I'll be skipping it. Let me know if you have any questions.

- Description
SciELO Books, part of Scielo Brazil (also an amazing source for Wikisource), have a partnership with several academic publishers to release or re-release their works on Open Access, be CC or Public Domain.
Since it is clearly legal, it should be an amazing resource for Wikisource and the Wikimedia in general.
The bot should be able to read the archive and select the ones with Wiki Commons friendly licenses. Internet Archive some works released as CC BY-4.0 are registered as non-commercial (example). A similar thing also happens on the main website: 1 and 2. Would be nice if the bot could compare the main website and the Internet Archive collection for missing files and check at least once a month for new works released into Wiki friendly licenses.
It is necessary an official template. Thanks, Erick Soares3 (talk) 20:38, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

{{PD-EUGov}} for the EU itself and {{PD-EdictGov}} for the US side. Admittedly, I'm not sure how this will work for issues before certain dates (eg. before the act of 2011 mentioned in {{European Union Government}}) or prior to the EU's existence (i.e. during the time of the European Coal and Steel Community). However, due to the content being official legislation and communication I think it should be OK.
- Description
Describe the content to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …), and what makes it valuable to Wikimedia Commons.
- The files will be PDF copies of all issues of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), the official gazette of the EU. Thus, it would be a useful resource for EU legislation and communications.
- Do the media URLs follow a pattern? Yes:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/[lang-code(EN, FR etc)]/TXT/PDF[or other format, eg. TXT, HTML]/?uri=OJ:[type, eg. C for Communications (Information and Notices), L for Legislation]:[year, 1952-2022]:[issue]:FULL
, for example, the latest C-type issue in PDF format as of Feb. 8, 2022 is at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:C:2022:056:FULL and the earliest issue in German is at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:A:1952:001:FULL. - Does the site have an API? Somewhat. The official API can't be used for document downloads. There are bulk downloads available for issues since 2004 on the EU Open Data Portal. (per https://eur-lex.europa.eu/content/welcome/data-reuse.html) However, there is a third party API (http://api.epdb.eu/) for downloading EU legislation.
- What else could ease uploading? Not sure.
- Did you contact the site owner? No, the copyright templates should cover at least post-2011 documents, but I think as the OJEU is legislation and official communications it should be fine as previously mentioned.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages, or should one be created? One should probably be created.

- Source to upload from: Photography collection from the Biblioteca Digital Hispánica: search query
- Do the media URLs follow a pattern? metadata permalink, viewer permalink, JPEG deep link
- Does the site have an API? No
- What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?) The HTML is quite well-formed and follows an homogeneous structure, although metadata tabulation is a bit weird.
- Did you contact the site owner? No
- Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …): This request is for a subset of this Digital Library covering photographies and engravings. Note that the JPEG deep link provided above is valid only to fetch the first page of the document. For this collection, most (all?) works are a single page.
- Which license tag(s) should be applied? It depends on the work. I think it should generally be PD-old-assumed, and in some cases PD-old-70 and PD-old-100.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? I created a manual sample here: File:Retrato de Mariano Ballestero (1869).jpg
I already have a scraper and (work in progress) page generator for this collection. So I can help to provide everything in the required format. Anyway, I think the bulk of pending work is probably identifying author and the right license tag for each work.

- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? In terms of the file naming convention, this could follow that of the site, i.e, the top of each page has the series, a credit to the US AMS, and the date, then each map file has the name of the map, the sheet number (for the index pages, cross-references from adjoining maps etc), and the scale
NB there are already some files at Category:India maps by U.S. Army Map Service (plus various other individual uploads etc within Category:Maps by the United States Army Map Service), and it looks from below on this page and eg this commons image that "Slick-o-bot" may have been used in 2012 to upload some or all of these (I'm most keen on the various Japan-related maps (especially the 3x Honshu 1:50,000 series) but imagine every region would benefit).

[edit]Were these photos published prior to 1925, or merely taken prior to then? Publication needs to be pre-1925 for {{PD-US-expired}} to be allowed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 08:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: The about page states The collection ... is believed to have come to Pomona College included with the papers of Charles Luther Boynton, a Pomona College alumnus and missionary to China. Boynton himself graduated from Pomona around 1900. I can't say for sure the year his papers came into possession of the college, though (which I assume would be the date of publication?). The library would probably tell us if we asked, though. Sdkb (talk) 05:47, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- Acquisition by the college would not be considered publication for the purposes of copyright. Only use in a publicly released printed material, or on a webpage, is considered publication. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: does being added to a library not count as publication? The collection has presumably been housed in the special collections department and publicly available to anyone who requested access since it was obtained. Sdkb (talk) 20:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- A collection merely being in a library does not constitute publication, by my reading. Under copyright law, publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership or by rental, lease, or lending. Offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of people for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display also constitutes publication. (From here.) Is the death date of Boynton known? If it was before 1950, then {{PD-old-70}} applies. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

- The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is releasing a larger portion of their collection online lately, many are in the public domain. See for example this collection on Honus Wagner https://collection.baseballhall.org/PASTIME/wagner-honus-0?page=7&fbclid=IwAR2cYYBeEMTsN_PGJFCXB5qqYoTtcBBCPkGwFGh3NqUbNtYYww7OWHizdvA
Is there a practical way to batch extract and upload files that are tagged with "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/" under the "Copyright note" section? They basically confirm which files are in the public domain. Or they will sometimes post in that same section "The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is not aware of any U.S. copyright or any other restrictions in the documents."

This was spotted by Animalparty on COM:VP. BMacZero (talk) 00:12, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
Opinions
[edit]- Comments by Animalparty.
- {{PD-USGov}} would be the most inclusive template, but is rather vague. More specific templates include {{PD-USGov-NPS}} and {{PD-USGov-Interior}}. Any Photographer field that says "NPS Staff" or "NPS Photo" (e.g. [298]) should automatically get PD-USGov-NPS.
- I think {{Photograph}} or {{Information}} are fine, ideally with detailed semi custom fields for keywords, collection, location, etc., as seen in the Library of Congress images uploaded by User:Fæ (example).
- The more pre- or auto-categorization, or at least clearly noting collection, yeear/decade, geographic unit, etc., the better, else we dump thousands of unsorted of images into already cluttered categories like Yosemite National Park.
- There may be overlap with some material on Archives.gov , individual National Park Flickr feeds/websites, and such material already uploaded. But I think the value of the images uploaded at their largest file size and with curated metadata outweigh the inconvenience of some duplication.
- Many files have geographical coordinates, but I suspect that many are generic coordinates of the center of the National Park or Monument, rather than being unique to the photograph.
- Thanks for initiating this, sorry if these comments are basic/obvious to experienced mass uploaders. --Animalparty (talk) 01:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
On some more inspection, certain images may be a bit problematic in terms of copyright, namely works of art (e.g. paintings and sculptures) not explicitly credited to NPS employees, but that are nonetheless labeled "Public domain:Full Granting Rights". Some of these appear to be created by Artist-in-Residence programs (e.g. this gallery and this one), and from browsing elsewhere it appears that different parks may have different rules regarding copyrights. Rocky Mountain National Park states "Artists are also required to provide the copyright for this artwork to the National Park Service. The National Park Service will not allow the commercial use of any donated artwork once it is selected and accessioned into the Park's permanent museum collection", which is a restriction against public domain. Perhaps no art from Rocky Mountain was transferred to NPGallery? These 2 images from the U.S.S. Arizona memorial are labeled PD on NPGallery, yet on a different NPS page their status is ambiguous, with the included usage disclaimer "Multimedia credited with a copyright symbol (indicating that the creator may maintain rights to the work) or credited to any entity other than NPS must not be presumed to be public domain; contact the host park or program to ascertain who owns the material" (emphasis added).
Side note: I think every photograph I've viewed on NPGallery has the Copyright disclaimer "Permission must be secured from the individual copyright owners to reproduce any copyrighted materials contained within this website. Digital assets without any copyright restrictions are public domain.", but every file is also labeled Public domain in the Constraints Information.
Another snag I've noticed, just from browsing the term "Artist", are that some images are scans/photographs from newspapers that were most likely not originally created by Federal employees (although the derivative scans/photos are): for instance Louis Grell illustration album, with cartoons by Louis Grell published in World War I.[299] These are still PD via pre-1924 publication (and possibly by {{PD-USGov-Military}}), but it hinders accurate bot-designation of PD template.
And public domain rationale is ambiguous on this vido, with Copyright" "Photo courtesy of Betty Maya Foott, Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative" (so, probably not a federal employee), yet is nonetheless labeled "Public domain:Full Granting Rights". I may have just found a relative handful of exceptions. But there are also probably a good deal of historical photographs that are PD-1923 or PD-no-notice yet not US Government works. Perhaps a generic umbrella template similar to {{Flickr-no known copyright restrictions}} could be used to encapsulate different possibilities, like {{PD-NPGallery}}.
I think it would be a good idea to contact someone at NPGallery to double check that all media labeled public domain is in fact public domain, for some reason, especially when rationale is ambiguous or lacking. We also might want to consider not transfering the somewhat intimidating, potentially misleading Copyright message "Permission must be secured from the individual copyright owners to reproduce any copyrighted materials contained within this website. Digital assets without any copyright restrictions are public domain." This may be a liability disclaimer on NPGallery's end, but ideally, everything we transfer to Commons would be in the public domain, and so no permission need be secured. --Animalparty (talk) 11:45, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Working on adapting my bot to handle this. I'll contact them, and also start with only things that are obviously PD. BMacZero (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- I e-mailed NPGallery a while back about the public domain statuses of images and neglected to share here. Unfortunately got a not-too-helpful response essentially saying that the licenses and attributions are not "consistent" and "there is not a good way to assure an asset id is truly in the public domain, or not". We'll have to figure out what types of signals we can rely on to decide whether {{PD-USGov-NPS}} or other templates apply. Of course, publication pre-1924 will be a good one to start.

- Do the media URLs follow a pattern? yes:
- This url generates 94 results pages, each linking to 10 individual image pages. Each image page url is
http://arquivomunicipal2.cm-lisboa.pt/X-arqWeb/ContentPage.aspx?ID=
code&Pos=1&Tipo=PCD
- while the image in it is at
http://arquivomunicipal2.cm-lisboa.pt/X-arqWeb/ContentDisplay.aspx?ID=

- with code being a 20-digit lower-case hex number — which has no bearing with the official identification references (cota — see below).

- Which license tag(s) should be applied? {{PD-old}} Creator:Paulo Guedes
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? {{AMLx}}; it needs to be fed at least
{{{cota}}}
(given also as código de referência), a slashed crumbthread-like alphanumeric string of variable length; other values to be (trivially) extracted from each image page are:
- Título
- Assunto
- Data(s)
- Dimensão e suporte
- Nota(s)
- Cotas antigas or Cotas or Cota(s)
- The filenames can be constructed from Título (possibly trimmed) and the two last crumbs of
{{{cota}}}
, in parenthesis, devoided of the slash (which is one of the Cotas)

- Never mind. The bunch of imcompetents at CMLarq changed their software and “of course” old urls wont work. As they are also copyfraud goons, the new search functionality throws us back to the 1970s and it’s even less usable. Better visit their facilities in Lisbon (now rehoused in a modern neighbourhood becuae their historic HQ had to be converted into a tourist trap) and fiddle around with a microfilm viewer or some such nonsense. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 22:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

We do ask for a credit line where possible: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona"
- PD-USGov-NASA or a variation of it to include JPL and University of Arizona must be used.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?
- There is no template yet. It must be created to include all the relevant data e.g. Acquisition date, Latitude , Longitude , etc. from the label files.
- Note: Due to JPEG2000 not being currently supported on Wikimedia Commons, a conversion to PNG is also needed. File sizes may be large!

PDS data import proposal
[edit]Proposal for the import of PDS data for each image, to ensure as much as possible is added to SDC and necessary data for the user is displayed prominently in the wikitext.
I propose that the entire LBL file is imported as a collapsible text field in the template for each file, preserving all formatting and indentation, so that researches or other users familiar with the PDS format may be able to utilize plain text search for the values we will not be able to add to SDC, similar to this:
Raw Planetary Data System data
|
---|
|
In addition to this, I have broken down the example file, to try and maximize possible SDC data migration, as well as adding some of the data to a custom wikidata template for this particular import. I am highly interested in any suggestions. I take the libery of pinging @Multichill: as you have previously been very helpful in a similar endeavour with the ISS photos. I hope you would be interested in adding your valuable input here as well.
I will make a couple of example files in a few days or so to test the SDC structure and a potential template, before starting any peliminary coding, so the concepts can be tested out.
Reference to be set as stated in (P248) --> "Planetary Data System" for all SDC values imported from PDS.
All PDS identifiers can be looked up here for clarification. The LBL example file also contains some in-line comments.

- Source to upload from:
- Do the media URLs follow a pattern?
None found. Tracks seem to be in sub-directories related to nominal genre, MP3 files are named for the track title apparently.
- Does the site have an API?
Unknown.
- What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?)
Unknown.

- Which license tag(s) should be applied?
Site claims tracks are in the public domain:- http://freepd.com/faq.html ; However some of these tracks were previously under CC-BY on the site owners other site at incompetech.
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?

- All photographs of listed buildings by this user are of high quality and are tagged [listed building]. They would be very useful to have on Commons as every listed building has an item on Wikidata. I'd like them to be uploaded en masse and given the categories Category:Listed buildings in [county or London borough] and Category:Images by Stephen Richards. I could then further refine the listed building categories manually. However, the terms "Grade I", "Grade II*" and "Grade II" (the three listing grades for buildings in England and Wales) appear in the image descriptions, so is there a way that these could be picked out and used to categorise the images on Commons?
- Which license tag(s) should be applied?
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?

[edit]- @Ham II: first time I notice this. The GeographBot is uploading again (for quite some time already). It started at one many years ago and it's now at 3645078 which was contributed 9 September, 2013. It's slowly catching up and at some point all the files you were looking for will also be uploaded.

[edit]@Guanaco: There is a lot of copyrighted material within these images, e.g. [300] [301]. (Just because this is a U.S. government web site this does not mean all the material is U.S. government material and by this means freely usable!) Actually I have not found too many images that really can be used (e.g. [302]). You should at least provide a procedure how to distinguish between copyrighted and free material. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 11:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Reinhard Kraasch: The gallery search function [303] has a filter by copyright status. [304]
- I've found that the URLs linked by the thumbnails provide species information within <title>: https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=HACA2&photoID=haca2_003_ahp.jpg#
- and correspond to the URLs of the actual files: https://plants.usda.gov/gallery/pubs/haca2_003_php.jpg
- as well as the URL with copyright status and recommended attribution info: https://plants.usda.gov/java/usageGuidelines?imageID=haca2_003_ahp.jpg
- The search is navigable with
&page=2
, 3, 4, etc. - I'm actually interested in scripting this myself now, though it would be my first batch upload task. Guanaco (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Guanaco: Well, just go on... On the other hand it always is a good idea to have a second opinion with such a batch upload - especially for the non-technical aspects. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 20:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I am hoping to begin a bulk upload of media from the US National Archives in the next few weeks. This will be a very different approach from the first upload, which was based on uploading files from an offline drive and scraping HTML for the metadata. This time around, NARA has an API for our online catalog, and so I am building a bot, using mwclient, to upload using the live metadata and files from the API. Some details:
- Dataset
The dataset includes all PD materials at https://catalog.archives.gov (API: https://catalog.archives.gov/api/v1). I plan to begin with a series of ~100,000 WWI-era photos. Technically, there are over 15 million files (and counting) in this dataset.
- File names
The script is currently configured to name files with the formula: For single-page items:
- "File:[TITLE] - NARA - [NAID].ext"
- Where "[TITLE]" is the catalog record's title field, and "[NAID]" is the National Archives Identifier. If this is over the character limit, "[TITLE]" is automatically truncated, with "(...)" appended.
For multi-page items (since the above formula would give all files belonging to one catalog record the same title):
- "File:[TITLE] - NARA - [NAID] (page X).ext"
- Metadata
We are developing a custom metadata mapping, since NARA does not adhere to a metadata standard. You can see the metadata template we use here: {{NARA-image-full}}. Some notes:
While all the records in this catalog come from NARA or partner institutions, there are many different facility locations, and some NARA facilities have their own institutions templates already (e.g. US presidential libraries). Therefore, I am creating institution templates to go along with all NARA locations, and the script will insert the correct institution template based on a mapping.
NARA's authority file is not yet mapped to Wikidata, however that is definitely something that would be useful in the future. For now, we will upload files with NARA's creator and author names and their NAIDs and links back to the catalog authority record. However, including the NAIDs in a Commons template field means that in the future, Wikidata could be used to make creator templates appear instead. Any help with this would be appreciated.
- Licenses
Because NARA records are nearly all (>99%) derived from the records of US federal agencies, these uploads will use {{PD-USGov}} or its subtemplates. Most NARA records are in one of about 600 record groups based on their creating agency, so I am using a mapping of NARA record groups to Commons PD-USGov templates so that the bot can apply the more specific agency templates in most cases. Help filling out this mapping would be appreciated.
Nearly all holdings of the US National Archives are in the public domain as a work of the federal government (or, otherwise, due to age). This is marked in the "use restriction" field in the catalog, with a value of "Unrestricted" indicating public domain determination by the archivists. Therefore, the script will be configured to skip over any records in which the use restriction is anything other than "unrestricted" (even "possibly" ones, which could ultimately be PD, but need a human determination).
- Categories
All uploads will be automatically categorized by the metadata template into Category:Media contributed by the National Archives and Records Administration and a category for the series they belong to (such as Category:US National Archives series: DOCUMERICA: The Environmental Protection Agency's Program to Photographically Document Subjects of Environmental Concern, compiled 1972 - 1977). Eventually, the script will be designed to create the series category if a file is uploaded for a series which does not yet have one.
When it comes to topical categories, past NARA uploads utilized the {{Uncategorized}} tag to encourage the community to add topical tags. However, since this creates work for the community, I am planning this time around to run uploads a small batch (hundreds to a few thousand) at a time, so I can upload them with one or more topical categories that apply to all records in the batch, rather than uncategorized.
- Code
You can find the upload bot's code at https://github.com/usnationalarchives/wikimedia-upload. This project is being developed in public on NARA's official GitHub account. I would welcome collaboration (pull requests or otherwise) there. In addition, the Commons community is welcome to file issue reports on that repo.
- Examples
The most recent test uploads can be viewed in Category:US National Archives series: American Unofficial Collection of World War I Photographs. I am still polishing the upload script, but these examples essentially represent what should be expected from the bot once it gets started.
Opinions
[edit]The bot account is technically already flagged from the last bulk upload a couple of years ago, however I would like to submit the current plan to community review before restarting uploads. If there are any opinions on the bot's design or the format of uploads or other issues, I am happy to hear them. We'd also like to know whether to limit what is uploaded in any way—as in, would Commons actually be interested in 15 million files, or might some of these, like the millions of census cards, not be of interest. Also, if anyone is interested in helping out with the coding or other tasks, please feel free to let me know. This is a big undertaking. Thanks! Dominic (talk) 17:25, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

- Source to upload from
https://archive.org/details/usc-sound-effect-archive
- License
The files in this collection claim to be licensed CC BY 4.0. This is not true--all this archive is was someone collating the files and uploading them there. These files were all uploaded by Craig Smith on freesound.com under a CC0. The Gold and Red files are a valid {{CC0}} as Craig Smith works for USC. The Sunset Editorial files are all either {{PD-US-defective notice}} or {{PD-US-defective notice-1978-89}}. The notices are defective because according to the linked blog, all SSE ever got was a credit line. The company was no longer active by 1989, and I checked and there are no copyright registrations under SSE's name. The publication years of the sound effects however, are unknown, so I plan on tagging everything with PD-US-defective notice-1978-89.
- Description
This is a set of audio files by the University of Southern California and Sunset Editorial consisting of the original recordings of sound effects used in movies from the 60s to 80s; a few of these sound effects are very famous (like the Wilhelm Scream). This file conveniently maps all the sound effects with a metadata .csv file with descriptions and upload dates and everything, so setting up a batch upload isn't too difficult. I'm prepared to do this upload myself.

Scripts, Examples and Information
[edit]- the scripts I using on jobs here and here
- a bash script to extract the VRINs on (U.S. military) pictures on commons, can very usefull to find duplicate before upload
- Details about 'Zoomify' images and how to get it (in German)
- Howto import images from news.kremlin.ru: import news.kremlin.ru news gallery.sh & import news.kremlin.ru photo gallery.sh
- Another option so to download the images to your local machine, then upload with Pattypan.
