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?

Opinions[edit]

@Guanaco: There is a lot of copyrighted material within these images, e.g. [1] [2]. (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. [3]). 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 [4] has a filter by copyright status. [5]
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#
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)

US National Archives[edit]

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)

Bembo Visconti Tarot[edit]

  • Source to upload from: http://quatramaran.salle-s.org/~madore/visconti-tarots/large/
    • Do the media URLs follow a pattern? No. All 74 images should be linked from the index page above. Use the links ending in ".jpg", not the low resolution previews. Skip the links ending in ".RES.jpg". Please verify that there are exactly 74 such images, I haven't done that.
    • Does the site have an API? It's just plain HTTP.
    • What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?)
    • Did you contact the site owner? No.
  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):

A card in Visconti Sforza tarot deck, beautifully drawn in the mid XVth century by Italian artist Bonifacio Bembo for the Visconti and Sforza dukes of Milan. Four cards (out of seventy-eight) are lost from the deck (the fifteenth and sixteenth major arcana—respectively the Devil and the Tower—, the Knight of Coins, and the Three of Swords), thus seventy-four cards remain.

The card images were scanned by David Madore and published on the internet in 2003-09. They are scans of a fac simile version printed by AGMüller in Switzerland, though US Games Systems also seems to be somehow part of the editing process, which David bought in 2003-08 from an online store (broken link).

  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?
