dvidshub.net

[edit]

I see you have it listed at your user page. Did you ever consider uploading them? We have over 500.00 files, but https://www.dvidshub.net/search/beta returns nearly 5 million files. Multichill (talk) 15:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I already upload a lot of files from DVIDS (around 15k here) but as I review everything I upload, I don't plan to upload the entire database, at least not in short term. Right now I focus on space-related images (so mainly the Space Force, and a few pictures from Air Force), and also the DVIDS files taken in France. One problem with DVIDS is that in the 5 millions files, I find that many event-related files do not really belong to Commons scope as they feel more propaganda than informational pictures. Right now, to narrow the scope for Space Force, I maintain an ignore list of keywords that denote topics not space-related. If the community agrees that an entire upload of DVIDS makes sense for Commons, I could however technically do it (without reviewing the pictures however). vip (talk) 15:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you add VIRIN (P12967) to your new uploads?
I guess it all boils down to signal to noise. We had similar discussions back in 2009 when I mass uploaded FEMA and US Navy photo's. In the end many more files were uploaded. Even with the propaganda I think it's still a good enough signal. Maybe just start small with pictures uploaded in the last month and see how that works out?

VIRIN property added: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/spacemedia/-/commit/6ec188d674659e693e1eabd90fd9efebaf458b7a
OK I'll give it a try, I'll let you know. vip (talk) 20:04, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Multichill! I have started to extend the scope of my DVIDS imports from "U.S. in France" to "U.S. in Europe", which adds a lot more pictures with the important presence of U.S. troops in Germany. Meanwhile I have also proposed a new property on Wikidata, can you please go there and vote? :) Cheers. vip (talk) 10:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Slowly expanding scope is always a good strategy.
I +1'd the new property. I wonder if we should also create a DVIDS image ID property while we're at it? Looks like url's like https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8694186/ just expands with the slug. Multichill (talk) 16:20, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mmmm for the DVIDS image ID I wonder if it will be stable in the long term, as I see that they are building a new search tool, I hope they won't reimplement their backend with a new ID scheme. But yeah I think it's a good idea as well. vip (talk) 19:18, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that bot mixes up files from dvidshub.net and sends files intended for Category:Milimedia files (review needed) to Category:Spacemedia files (review needed).
There're currently (about) 83 files in Spacemedia files (review needed) that are from dvidshub, but has nothing to do with Space Force, being instead from another parts of imperialist war machine US armed forces. See for example File:2nd Cavalry Regiment Quickstrike TOW Live Fire (8307646).jpg. Search filter isn't working, is it? Trasheater Midir (talk) 16:06, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is working. There a few false positives, but 83 files on about 10.000 is an acceptable ratio to me. The selection mechanism is pretty simple, based on the presence of a few keywords: "space", "rocket", "satellite", "launch", "nasa", "astronaut", "cosmonaut". vip (talk) 16:49, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've started to make it a little bit smarter. vip (talk) 17:02, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
