Dear ones,
Where might I get or mirror a dump of Commons media files?

Hello Thad,
I think this comment merely is an enthusiastic shout-out that means 'in my
opinion, OpenRefine rules (as in: it's a great solution) for data'. I know
the person who responded here and will check with them if I'm correct.
Anyone is free to sign up to the project as a volunteer or advisor. There
are absolutely no obligations or 'rules' (as in 'regulations'). At this
moment, I see this as a sign that you are more interested than average, and
are OK with, for instance, being directly approached on your talk page when
new features can be tested and if we have questions or assumptions that we
would like to check with the community.
I will add this bit of info to the application text.

Hello everyone,
Since 2019, it is possible to add structured data to files on Wikimedia
Commons [1] (SDC = Structured Data on Commons). But there are no very
advanced and user-friendly tools yet to edit the structured data of very
large and very diverse batches of files on Commons. And there is no batch
upload tool yet that supports SDC.
The OpenRefine [2] community wants to fill this gap: in the upcoming year,
we would like to build brand new features in the open source OpenRefine
tool, allowing batch editing and batch uploading SDC :-) As these are major
new functionalities in OpenRefine, we have applied for a Project Grant [3].
Your feedback [4] and (if you support this plan) endorsements are very
welcome.
Thanks in advance, and many greetings,
Sandra (User:Spinster / User:SFauconnier) as member of the OpenRefine
steering committee
Antonin (User:Pintoch) as OpenRefine developer

Hello,
I was wondering if there are any project pages / experiences / people documenting the process of uploading film loops and/or films from the end of the 19h century on Commons. I'm interested by any link or contact you may have on that.
Thanks in advance,
