Hi everyone,
If I run an upload in both Beta and production the title always changes to
'Array-array.ogv'. In the metadata mapping I create a title by combining
the fields: 'oi:title' and 'oi:identifier'. 'Array-array' is nowhere to be
found in my xml.
Can anyone tell how I can make sure the title comes out correctly?
Cheers,
Jesse

Hi all,
Testing in the BETA cluster today. I can see how I can add a source
template (which in this case is Stichting Natuurbeelden), I would also like
to add the institution template (in our case {{institution: Nederlands
Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid}}) for Current Location as I have seen for
example with Fae's upload from the
Rijksmuseum<http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Adelaar_met_aap_in_zijn…>
.
I might later ask you for some feedback on some test-uploads.
Regards,
Jesse

Thanks all for clarifying - good to know that it is widely acknowledged to be weird, but ultimately not a problem.

Having got the upload process itself down, I've been trying with different file-sizes. However, when I've uploaded larger files (2500px) to the Beta cluster, the image re-sizes to the smaller, 500px version whenever I try to view or download the image at full resolution, despite all indications being that the current version should be the larger format. I'm not sure whether this is an issue with the Beta cluster or with the Toolset, or if it only has to do with uploading subsequent versions of files. Has anyone run into this kind of problem before?

I don't expect this to be an issue when uploading to Commons proper in most cases, but I find it strange nonetheless.

I have been getting "Our servers are currently experiencing a
technical problem" when using GWT there. Is there a current known
problem, or it is me?

This is wonderful to hear. I had a quick look at our images on the Beta

You may request access on <

Please provide a short rationale of why you need it and what you are
planning to do. Folks there might ask you some precisions but nothing
daunting :)

After experimenting with the toolset on the Beta Cluster for the last couple of weeks, I'm getting close to uploading content onto Commons proper but still don't have access to the toolset there. Could I therefore be given access? I'd like to start uploading content as soon as the metadata for the first collection is available (this collection will be small, approx. 90 images, and the procedure has worked properly for a sample of the images in the Beta Cluster)
Thanks,
Ally

After the 3 file "preview" when running GWT on a fresh batch, it is
possible to get the following odd looking error:
Internal error
[8292dd50] 2014-05-09 22:50:47: Fatal exception of type MWException
It looks disasterous, but actually (in my experience of two instances)
indicates that GWT has encountered a attempt to re-upload the same
file. This was a mistake in my xml where some initial records were
duplicated (I am quite unsure why) and though the text page was
overwritten, the image was only uploaded once (a good thing).
I don't think this is a bug, more a potential feature, particularly as
the run then continues regardless. It would be nicer if the warning
message was a bit less cryptic and did not look like the user had just
crashed something badly (which "Fatal" normally indicates), but worth
ensuring it is an exceptional case, potentially created by a poor xml
source, and mentioned in the user guide.

If anyone has a moment today and would like to comment, I would
appreciate extra eyes on the test upload of images on beta at:
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Images…
The way GWT handles the Artwork template is not ideal, and things like
the use of a hyphen in the filename, or the creator template for
non-existent authors are not user customizable. If I proceed with this
run as is, then I will also need to run a little post-upload
house-keeping on the way apostrophes have been converted to html
codes.
This run should be around 2,000 images and is limited to pre-20th
century artworks from Japan. If this works well, then I'll look at
other collections themes. I may need to tweak some category mapping in
the background but the source of metadata as well as the image is now
direct from the Rijksmuseum. Unfortunately there was limited reliable
metadata in English, so I have stuck to one language.
I suggest comments are raised on the project page at
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading/Art_of_Japan_in_…>
(opinions section) unless they are of more general interest for all
GWT users.
