Is this bot still operational on Toolserver? Is it making the migration to Tools? It is still a desired tool to have available.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I need to migrate it. Toolserver is still up but it looks like my cron got blanked, and additionally it's encountering an error. I'll try to do at least get it running on Toolserver again for now. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:07, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorted this out - there were two issues. One was a bug in mwclient which only materialized when upload.wikimedia.org was moved to a different IP from commons.wikimedia.org. The other was that English Wikipedia forbid creating the page File:MNL.jpg because of Titleblacklist-custom-imagename. This is fixed and it should be running again normally now, on Toolserver for the moment. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your efforts. Good luck with the migration to Tools. I keep hiding from my account there, though I need to break my virginity, just shudder at the results of letting me and my stupidity loose there. ;-)  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:34, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is the bot still running? I have some File:The Merchant Illusteration.jpg and two other files sitting there with {{PD-US-1923-abroad-delete}} and no action. They are recovered files, and recovered with template still intact, does it look for a fresh usage of the template, or does it just trawl the use of the template as a cronjob (I am presuming the second). Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you'd like to share your views on the DR page, too, because I doubt that the closing admin will take the Village Pump discussion into consideration when making their decision. odder (talk) 10:27, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't comment in the discussion because while I was interested in the idea that offensive media should be permitted for various purposes, I had no particular interest in the more pertinent scope issue, on which basis it was ultimately deleted. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:12, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Holidays!
G'day, just a quick greeting wishing you and your family happy holidays and all the best for 2014. And of course, a big thank you for putting a leg up by doing what you do on Commons, and helping to make it the fantastic project that it is.

Feliz Navidad
Joyeux Noël frère. J'espère que cette fois vous pouvez l'utiliser comme je l'ai effectivement fait récemment (à venir rendre visite à ma grand-mère), avec la famille et les amis. C'est un moment idéal pour partager et faire un peu de charité pour le prochain. Laissant de côté les différences que nous avons parfois à ces gens que nous aimons. De même, je vous souhaite une bonne fin d'année partie. Un câlinWilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 00:26, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Dcoetzee! I want to wish you very happy new year! What you've done, uploading google art project is a piece of work! Perhaps you could upload this beautiful portrait, beacause i don't see it in commons. Thanks in advice.

Spam in commonsarchive

[edit]

Good morning Dcoetzee, Today I visited commonsarchive after a long time. Now I've noticed a big quantity of spam pages created like userpages. I think how a good idea add some spam extension for mediawiki. thanks --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:39, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up - I already have several spam extensions but it's a difficult balance to find something that works without blocking too many legitimate users. I'll look into it. Thanks! Dcoetzee (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dcoetzee,
I am User:Marsupium, originally from German Wikipedia. I have just begun to empty Category:Unsupported object for the upcoming work of d:Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts which is my main working space ATM. There are many transclusions of {{Google Art Project}} that fill the object type parameter of {{Artwork}} with values unsupported by {{I18n/objects}}. They appear in Category:Unsupported object. I am mapping the supported values to Wikidata items (and AAT records) at d:Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/AAT Objects Facet Mapping. The unsupported values are a problem for the planned import of the data in the {{Artwork}} templates. Would you perhaps be interested in helping me to remove the {{Google Art Project}} transclusions from Category:Unsupported object? I'd be very grateful. I'll anyway have to take a look at {{Google Art Project}} … Thanks in advance, --Marsupium (talk) 12:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's my fault, it misuses some templates. It should be possible to avoid the messages by modifying the template suitably, but I'm not quite sure what the details are right now - most likely the templates will have to be replaced by similar alternatives that don't use the categories, or the templates will need a new parameter not to use the unsupported object category. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:57, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Best wishes for 2014

CommonsArchive in wikiArS case studies

[edit]

Hi Dcoetzee; the use of CommonsArchive.org is reported in this wikiArS case study: Animations using freely available 3D models. Have a happy new year! --Dvdgmz (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Was that painted using a microscope?

[edit]

Hi, on File:Albert Dubois-Pillet - Little Circus Camp - Google Art Project.jpg, your bot used the dimensions in inches for the height and width parameters which call for mm, resulting in the painting being listed as 0.42 x 0.64 inches rather than 10.75 x 16.13. That was a year ago, so hopefully the bot is no longer doing this. I fixed this one today, but I imagine there are a lot of erroneous dimensions on other files still around. XARAdNAM • MAИbAЯAX 01:22, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was a bot error, sorry. I may be able to run a bot job to repair them, but if you change them manually this will make it difficult. Please use the "commons_dimensions" field to repair dimensions. Dcoetzee (talk) 10:12, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Google Art Project Gigapixel Image Request

[edit]

Hi there Dcoetzee, could you add this gigapixel image from GAP?

http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/portrait-of-the-landscape-painter-frederik-s%C3%B8dring/3wHcvpxYjVz0Xw?projectId=art-project

Hi, I have a backlog of GAP images to upload. Are you looking to use this image on a WMF project? If so just let me know where and I'll see if I can prioritize it. Thanks! Dcoetzee (talk) 10:13, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it is the first time i hear about such project. How may I help?

Okay can you just explain what you're planning to use the image for? I will get all the gigapixel images eventually but they are a lot of work. Thanks. Dcoetzee (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Google Art Project

[edit]

Hi,

Sorry to bother you, but it seems that this painting does not correspond to its description (see link to the museum site). The mistake seems to come from GoogleArt. Any idea on what to do about it? --Coyau (talk) 18:50, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to edit the "commons_" prefixed fields in the description to correct the data as you see fit. Google Art Project does contain quite a lot of errors. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:49, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi: According to the book Falling Upwards by Richard Holmes, the seated figure to the right in A Consultation... is actually Charles Green, while the standing figure to the right is Monck Mason. Thus the two extracted portraits should be reversed, so to speak. Also, the mouseover captions in Green's article should be fixed. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. Maybe you could take care of it? Thanks, --Marjaliisa (talk) 03:21, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bot de-flagging notification

[edit]

Hi Dcoetzee/Archive 2014-12-31, I'm writing to you because your bot Picasa Review Bot (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) is about to be de-flagged as a result of inactivity for a period longer than two years. If you'd like to keep that account flagged as a bot, please speak up at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag 2#Discussion; otherwise, I'll remove the bot flag from that account in a month from now (10 May 2014). Thanks for your understanding, odder (talk) 13:36, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I no longer have time or my original motivation to maintain this bot, in light of the changes to Flickr's free account policies. Dcoetzee (talk) 08:52, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

URAA: John Jon-And

[edit]

In Category:John Jon-And there are many images that seem to be affected by URAA. John Jon-And died 1941 and thus the images were still copyrighted in Sweden 1996.

Most of the images seem to be from a book posthumously published 1941 (some or all could have been published earlier) and at least two of the three paintings seem to be published after 1922. I suppose all these have to go. Could you copy them to Wikilivres? Author information has to be corrected, as the uploader marked them as "own work" (with correct information in the description).

Of the paintings Kanalmotiv has 1923 as date. Should it be undeleted 2018? Mariza - Jon And.jpg has 1941 as date but is claimed to be published before 1923, which seems bogus. Skepp Ljus Och Stjärnor - John Jon-And.jpg lacks date. What counts as "publishing" for paintings? I'd naïvely assume these were on display soon after having been painted.

There is also at least one image (Gösta Chatham.JPG) that is OK, it was unpublished and thus PD (?) in 2012.

Session time

[edit]

Dear Dcoetzee, When I am uploading a file to commonsarchive show Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in.. A 200 MB file in my country fast connection takes about two hours to upload. Please, Could you increase session time?. Thanks --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 10:53, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, it appears that I most likely need to increase the file size upload limit, or there might be another problem. I'll investigate when I can. I'm glad you found a workaround. Dcoetzee (talk) 08:48, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The FP status was granted to the edited version. Would be ok to upload the original separately? --Redtigerxyz (talk) 17:40, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible instead to upload the modified version under a new filename and move the FP tags to that? I guess that might not be allowed. In any case I'll just leave it alone for now, the original version is in the file history. Dcoetzee (talk) 08:44, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Small request

Dear Dcoetzee! Could you help remove this picture http://www.bigano.com/index.php/en/alta-risoluzione/49-pisanello--alta-risoluzione/123-pisanello-san-giorgio-che-parte-per-liberare-la-donzella-dal-drago-1429-alta-risoluzione.html. This rare photo featuring the famous frescoe by Pisanello, one of the best gothic artists of the 15th century. It is a very important stage in the history of European painting. Many thanks for all that you do for the readers of Wikipedia. Eugene a

It does seem like an important image but I'm afraid I don't have time. Please consider requesting help at Commons:Village pump. Dcoetzee (talk) 01:06, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bot and works at MFAH from Nov 2013

[edit]

Hi, Derrick! Your bot uploaded some artwork from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in November 2013 without Institute templates, accession numbers, or links to the works' pages at the museum site. Is this something you can fix with the bot, or will they have to be edited manually? I found two just looking casually, haven't searched to see how many might be involved. The two are File:Circle of Antoine Pesne - Portrait of Two Girls - Google Art Project.jpg and File:Juan Pantoja de la Cruz - Margaret of Austria, Queen of Spain - Google Art Project.jpg.

Also back in November I notified you about another file with corrupted information. I copy/paste from above for your convenience:

I found an image with a big error: File:Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) - The Bucintoro at the Molo on Ascension Day - Google Art Project.jpg is not the image indicated by the title, but in fact a copy of File:Lely, Sir Peter - Portrait of a Lady with a Blue Drape - Google Art Project.jpg. The description of the former appears go with the latter except that (1) the accession number matches the file name, and (2) the "object history" field contains different information.

Can the bot fix this, or does it have to be done manually? I would have fixed it a long time ago but I wanted to notify you to be sure that if the bot was making errors, you could correct the bot before it made other errors, and/or find similarly corrupted metadata. If you don't want such notifications as these, let me know and I won't bother you with them. Thanks for your time, and I hope you're having a great summer! Laura1822 (talk) 21:54, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With the old Template:Google Art Project, you could map Google Art Project institution names on to institution templates at Template:Google Art Project institution. They will automatically be rendered correctly on file description pages if this is done. The new files use Template:Google Cultural Institute which doesn't implement this yet. I generally include the accession number if it's available from Google, but for these files it's not. Their link to "See on institution's site: MFAH" also does not work. So I'd have to scrape MFAH if I wanted to provide that data, which would be a totally separate/new task.
Sorry for not responding to the earlier request - I don't really know what happened with that file. The weird thing is that in the original upload the source link did link to the correct image on Google's site but it uploaded the wrong file apparently. I don't know if there was a bug in the bot or an error in Google's metadata which has since been fixed. I don't know how widespread the issue is either. It may require more investigation. Dcoetzee (talk) 01:02, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I didn't log in for a few weeks either. Regarding the MFAH, it turns out that they don't have their collection database available online, so they can't be scraped and the info is unavailable. Regarding the institution template, when the Google Cultural Institute template is updated to map the institution names, will that make all the existing files render the institution templates automatically, or will it only work for future files? In other words, do the institution templates need to be added to each file manually? (Sorry, I don't understand the details of how these things work.) Thanks for looking into the file anomaly, and for your time! Laura1822 (talk) 17:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll process Museo Correr if I get a chance. I have a lot of unfinished uploads from Google Art Project and may have to update for their latest website changes. Dcoetzee (talk) 16:11, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thanks. I also need pictures of Adam van Vianen's works. There're only two. --AnatolyPm (talk) 13:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)--AnatolyPm (talk) 13:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dcoetzee,

I just want to inform you about cat-changes:

I created a sub cat Category:Google Art Project works by Pieter Coecke van Aelst (follower of)‎, but I did/could not check if more files have to go here.

For the wrongly and now empty cat Category:Google Art Project works by Pieter van Aelst‎ I just made a DR.

For Category:Google Art Project works by Pieter Coecke Van Aelst I made a redirect.

I am also interested in Museo Correr files from Google Art Project. I hope you can continue and/or let others know how to proceed. Cheers--Oursana (talk) 11:17, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay no problem on the cat. I don't know if my current tools will still work with the current GAP or when I'll have time to look at it, but if you have any specific image that's needed for a project let me know. I'm considering switching to an image-by-image transfer method instead of a batch upload method. Dcoetzee (talk) 23:06, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dcoetzee. Your bot categorized the category it created under Category:Alexander Ivanov. The categeory your bot created is about a 19th century painter, the person category is about a 20th and 21st Century chess player. Maybe a categorization like this should not be done unsupervised? Best regards, --Gereon K. (talk) 21:02, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback. The bot compares birth/death dates where they are available, and doesn't auto-categorize where there multiple categories with the same name, but it's a bit impractical to deal manually with every single case where this data isn't included. Commons happening to have a category on a person of the same name and not the person in GAP is a very rare occurrence. I appreciate you identifying this case however.

Commons bot inactivity

[edit]

Hello! Your bot User:Picasa Review Bot has been listed at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag_3 as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure we'd like to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can rerequest the bot flag at Commons:Bots/Requests should you need it again. --Dschwen (talk) 19:56, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, this bot is inactive. Dcoetzee (talk) 17:40, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
