I think I will be trying pywikipedia. It's not just this batch of ~35, but 100+ more that I also have from Hiroshima, maybe some more from Taiwan, and additional batches that I may have in the future. Overnight, I let Commonist run. It seems to have transferred everything, but failed on the last step -- creating galleries or something.

Feh. Improving that tool (or providing something like it) should be on our priority list.
As for pywikipedia,I don't mind programming a little bit, but don't
imagine
it's a good use of my time when other tools exist. I don't need a
custom
tool, but a standard one that everyone can use, including newbies would
be
best.
I didn't think you would, which is why I mentioned it to you. There is script in pywikipedia called upload.py. It will take a file an a description on its commandline and upload it. When I mass upload I usually write a little script to wrap it. Hardest part is getting pywikipedia configured against commons. :(
Not a general solution perhaps, but for you it would do what you want most likely.
