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.
