License migration

Hi! Can you remember how we can make license migration possible in files like File:Carlo crivelli, madonna col bambino, V&A, 1480 ca. 02.JPG? --MGA73 (talk) 20:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

@MGA73: no, couldn't remember, but {{Licensed-PD-Art}} contains an example near the bottom. I fixed it. Multichill (talk) 09:08, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! Lets just do it that way instead of messing with the template. --MGA73 (talk) 09:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that this is listed as Commons:Batch_uploading#Batch_uploads_in_progress. Is this not finished long ago? --MGA73 (talk) 15:12, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Most if not all. Haven't looked at that page for years. Doesn't look like it ever became really functional, maybe better to just archive the whole thing and accept failure. Multichill (talk) 18:03, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
If most are done it can't be a failure :-) --MGA73 (talk) 21:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

I think this is vandalism or test

I think this is vandalism or test but I figure you would have more context than I do. I hesitated to revert in case I was wrong. - Jmabel ! talk 13:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Swaziland was moved to Category:Eswatini

Hello @Multichill: The Category:Swaziland was moved to Category:Eswatini and the redirect deleted. Reason: The new official name "Eswatini" has been officially recognized by the United Nations since August 2018 (UN M49 standard). See also ISO 3166 and goverment website http://www.gov.sz --Bestoernesto (talk) 06:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

@Bestoernesto: and why are you telling me this exactly? Multichill (talk) 14:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
@Multichill: , you should change it in your bot list.--Bestoernesto (talk) 03:42, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Photographs of paintings by User:Sailko

I created Category:Photographs of paintings by User:Sailko yesterday for 36k paintings, hoping to be able to improve their SDC metadata a bit. Perhaps add {{Art photo}} to them or model if they have a frame or not. A lot of them are not connected to any wikidata items. Can you think of a way to connect some? --Jarekt (talk) 22:44, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

@Sailko: --Jarekt (talk) 22:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you! I appreciate your interest and help. --Sailko (talk) 13:14, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Jarekt: I had a tool to make it easy to find images of paintings to connect to Wikidata items, see for example User:Multichill/Same image without Wikidata/Commons creator, institution and inventory number match.
It blew up somewhere last year because everything was done in memory and I ran out of memory. The logic of it is sound and someone could use it to implement it in a more structured way:
  • Get all the paintings on Wikidata and for each painting get the image, creator, location & collection where available.
  • Get all the images of paintings here on Commons and for each file get the Qid of {{Creator}}, Qid of {{Institution}} and the inventory number where available
  • Combine the two to get matches. Later on I was using some AI to filter out the obvious not matches
New tool should probably have two part:
  1. Some database to store this information in so we can query it to find matches. Should have some kind of update strategy that's better than my rebuilding it from scratch each time
  2. Some kind of nice front-end tool to have users process these matches
For the database part we could probably also use the new local SPARQL endpoint. We would have to add local creator, location/collection and inventory number statements to files. This can be used to match up. If we do this we also need to clean up the local statements after the match has been made.
For the front-end part I'm not really the right person. If we find someone able to do the front-end part, I'm willing to do the back-end part. Not much use on working on it now without any prospect of front-end. Multichill (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
