Re:WLPA announcement
Hi Axel,
it should be fairly easy to get a unique list of people that uploaded images of Austria and Sweden (Finland did not participate in WLM last year), but I am afraid I am unable to get a list of people that uploaded pictures of Barcelona only (as opposed to the whole Spain). Since there is no page about the participation of Spain as a whole, I'm assuming that only Catalonia (or just the city of Barcelona) is taking part, right? odder (talk) 12:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sure—I have both lists ready and waiting, but where do I get the template from? {{Welcome to WLPA}} doesn't exist at the moment… odder (talk) 12:06, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- This is now ready—the bot sent the announcement to 441 users. odder (talk) 14:33, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Axel—apologies for such a belated reply. I just wanted to let you know that I did have a look at the list of Hebrew participants, but due to encoding problems (a file that hold this data on Toolserver is… weird, to say the least), I haven't been able to get a working list of Hebrew users from there (and there's no working API holding this data, either). I spent a few hours searching for a solution, but had to consider myself defeated in the end. I'm sorry I didn't contact you before, I think I just forgot about this :( odder (talk) 20:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- No worries, and thanks for all help. I also learned that the hebrew uploads are going through piwiki, is that what causes the weirdness? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 21:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

- Axel, I do not know what script are you using for uploading the files but File:Coast of Peru from Arica to Chincha.jpg and possibly others do not have a license and adds bad categories and nonexisting institution templates. --Jarekt (talk) 15:42, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

- Hi Jarekt, I used Multichills Europeana search tool query-thing to find and upload those files. I'll go through them. Thanks for telling me. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 09:05, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- I am not familiar with this tool, but it looks like it might still have some issues. I will check with user:Multichill about it. --Jarekt (talk) 11:29, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know how familiar Maarten is with the tool either. He did some extra work in the beginning of the summer to get it working, but I think it still needs some tlc to do the job properly. It might also bee that the GLAMToolset project makes this tool obsolete and the willingness to fix it is very low. It made it a little easier to find images from Europeana and the uploads were maybe a little bit automatized, but in the long run I'm not sure it helped. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 12:35, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

GLAM dashboard
I have no idea why Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 in Sweden/Reports is not being populated. It could be a simple syntax problem in the request, or something odd about the source directories. I am busy with other projects and real life stuff, so can't really test out ideas at the moment, though it might be solved by re-writing the request lines. These seem to have been a boundary case and broke the script, hopefully it will now cope with these types of 'zero-returns'. --Fæ (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
MyNewsDesk
Did you ever get to talk to MyNewsDesk about the copyright status of images posted on their website following you saying this was happening back in 2012 per this discussion? Ww2censor (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi @Ww2censor:, and thanks for the reminder. They replied a while back that their legal team adviced them to change the default license to (C) All rights reserved and that they planned to implement that during the fall. When I tried to upload an image now it looked as if they had changed it also. I've asked if they have documented (blog post, newsletter or similar) the change, and proposed a common statement if not. I also asked if they would tell their costumers to make sure their content has the correct license, and we'll have to wait and see. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:15, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was looking through some old posts and saw this one but also notice that within the last year quite a number of files have been uploaded making 1788 per this search and 1599 appear to be from their Swedish users. IIRC back in 2012 there were only about 125 images from MyNewsDesk. I wonder how that will affect those images which have supposedly been released with a free image. The precautionary principle should apply and they may all have to be deleted unless they are specifically known to be free. I wonder how long we will have to wait and see what they have implemented. Thanks for replying. Ww2censor (talk) 16:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- I guess it might be a bit of Streisand effect involved in that the number of uploads are going up. I kind of agree on the precautionary principle, as it would be some kind of unintentional
flickrMyNewsDesk washing of images otherwise. I'll ask the people at MyNewsDesk if they have an opinion on what to do with the images uploaded here. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
