Right-o. We've batch converted the images to JPG and are very happy with the resulting quality so will likely post those instead of the TIFFs because we want to make absolutely certain they work with the media player and can be scaled and downloaded at different resolutions. In fact on reflection, the TIFFs were so huge that we're not even sure they would be that usable for the average person, they crash the simple image viewers on our own PC's, and if the only option to view them in the commons is by download (ie they aren't able to be scaled and downloaded at different res in the viewer) they won't be much use to the greatest number of folks. We also would love for them to populate articles if possible so I think JPG is the most practical way to go for this batch. Though I certainly take Fae's point from last year around not shying away from a challenge and opportunity to fix something, I'm sure there will be more opportunities for that with future BL batches!
Thanks everyone for the feedback/convo!

Oddly enough, vips scalar was the problem here. There used to be a bug that causes that, its been fixed now (for a long time now), but the old version was cached. If you see any images that are almost entirely white with a bit of black around the edges, do ?action=purge to the image description page.
However there appears to be a second bug (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116947 ). Rendering the file in sizes less then 2523px seems to be broken.

There shouldn't be (anymore). Do you have any examples of files with that error?
There are a few (I mean few as in probably less than 10 over all of
commons) tiff files that don't render that I am aware of, but they don't have that error and instead just time out.

Ah ha! I think I figured it out, the upload seems to be moving along again, thanks for the prod to take another look at it Jesse. I found I'd missed some errant "&"'s in my "URL for media upload" links :( Fingers crossed that was it. Cheers!

Yesterday afternoon we batch uploaded 100 wildlife sound files (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wildlife_Sounds_in_the_British_…) ahead of an edit-a-thon with Europeana happening next week (November 7th): http://www.europeanasounds.eu/event/british-wildlife-recordings-edit-a-thon…
I don't see any errors in the Special:Log with it but only 12 have loaded so far in the last 24 hours, is this typical of sound files? If it is I'll just leave it and not worry about it but just want to make sure that they will work their way through the system in time for the event. Is there any other way for me to confirm/check on the status of them waiting in the queue?
Thanks so much for all your help!

Hi Nora,
Definitely not typical. Seeing the filesize it should go much faster.
It looks as if your upload stalled after record 11 <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gwtoolse…>.
Some people on this list can probably look to see whether the rest is still pending. But if I were you I would simply use the same xml (if there are no issues with record 12 and onward) and retry the upload once more. The toolset wil skip the files that are already uploaded, and hopefully continue, it has happened to me before :-).
Something I noticed: only 6 of the files appear in the category you mentioned. Did you add this category as a 'global category' in the toolset?
But there might be other people on the list that can help you better.
Best!
Jesse

Oddly enough, vips scalar was the problem here. There used to be a bug that causes that, its been fixed now (for a long time now), but the old version was cached. If you see any images that are almost entirely white with a bit of black around the edges, do ?action=purge to the image description page.
However there appears to be a second bug (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116947 ). Rendering the file in sizes less then 2523px seems to be broken.

Hi Folks! I’m trying to upload some high-res TIFFS using the bulk uploader tool however in Beta it’s struggling with creating the thumbnails: Example: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Tracing_of_Field_Sheet_…
1) Does this reflect the reality of how my upload will render on the live site?
2) When using the bulk uploader am I limited to using .jpgs?
The original link to the URL for uploading is here: http://www.webarchive.org.uk/bldatasets/WOA/WOOS_18_3.tif Is it because TIFFS don’t render in the browser that the bulk uploader isn’t able to grab it and display in the same way as the jpg? Please advise, hoping to get these up asap and would prefer to use TIFFS. Cheers!

Onderwerp: Wikimedia Deutschland invites to a workshop to use the GLAM
Wiki tool set
Datum: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 11:27:26 +0200
Van: Barbara Fischer <barbara.fischer(a)wikimedia.de>
Hi folks,
WMDE invites in November thanks to Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek to a
workshop
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Coding_da_Vinci_2015/FFM-Worksho…>
in Frankfurt to spur the upload of free art & heritage data
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Coding_da_Vinci_2015> that
was gained through Coding da Vinci this year.
Please help us to spread the news. We are looking especially for people
that like to support the use of the GLAM Wiki Tool set. Would it be an
idea to have a virtual support team, helping to get everything quickly
registered? It would be great success, if we manage to have all data
uploaded by the end of the year. Face the challenge, take the quest and
go! :)
By the way, I'd like to hint that the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek
<https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/> itself has more than 6
Million art & heritage content to be checked if relevant for Wikimedia
Commons.
Please turn either to me or Martin (in CC) for further information.

Hi all,
Preparing a new batch upload of video's. This time around there are also a
number of videos that we previously uploaded in SD and now have available
in HD. When attempting to upload using the toolset i get and error message
when I hit 'preview batch':
"Copy uploads are not available from this domain"
I get this message regardless of whether I tick the box: "Re-upload media
from URL"
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Much appreciated.
Best,
Jesse
