Mass Upload
by Jason J. Evans 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Hi everyone. I have just started uploading my first large batch of images to Commons using the toolset (abt 5000 low res images). The first 10 uploaded fine but for the last 30 minutes no more have uploaded. Is this a sign that there is a problem? or is it normal for there to be gaps in the upload? Thanks Jason -- Jason Evans Wicipediwr Preswyl / Wikipedian in Residence Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales jason.evans(a)llgc.org.uk Ffon/Tel: +44 (0)1970 632405

Good to hear you find the tool useful as well!

VisualFileChange: Good tool for post processing GW-toolset batch uploads
by Olaf Janssen 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi everybody, I thought this was worth sharing: I've just finished uploading 3 batches (3100+ images (*)) using the GW-toolset. I was looking at ways to do some automatic post-upload cleaning of metadata in all the 3100+ files (eg. getting rid of unwanted semicolons that the GW-tool adds in the mapping process). I was about to file a bot request, but came across the VisualFileChange<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:VisualFileChange.js> tool, very helpful for mass Find-Replace operations. It is a tool that can be used for mass-changes of one author's uploaded files, or files in a category. It's a web-tool and can be launched directly<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Bots/Work_requests&…>. Might be something to add to the GW-toolset end user manual https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset ?

Hello, you may remember the WMIT WIR at BEIC; if not, see links in English. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BEIC Last week, the 10 months collaboration came to an end; I published a lenghty report/case study in Italian.

WMCH server slowed down and GWToolset still trying to download
by charles andrès 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Dear all, Since Tuesday I’ve started the upload of around 8000 pictures of amoeba, everything was going smoothly until yesterday afternoon. It seems that at a moment we have saturated our own server with too many parallel request and the GWToolset start facing "HTTP request timed out » , as you can see in the GWToolset log https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtoolset <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtoolset> it the same story since yesterday around 5PM. I’ve asked our CIO, and he told me that indeed GWToolset is using the whole bandwidth of our server :-( Now I don’t know what to do? is there a moment GWToolset will stop doing request to the WMCH server? should we restart our server? incidentally , the account used for setting the batch upload receive now several « Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (10.0.6.41) « Do you think it’s related, I saw that someone already mentionned this error while using GWToolset. Thanks to all for your help.
