The Flickr2Commons sounds interesting and I will def look into that.
I also think it is better to cut up the job a bit (more): 500 or 1000 objects per upload
is spreading the eggs a bit more and is easier to keep track off. So I think my solution
for next time will be to upload a set in smaller pieces. But if there is a pattern or
unexplained drop-out: I will post it immediately!
Best wishes,
Lizzy

I have seen unexplained drop-outs for my direct uploads (not GWT)
since 25 Sept and I see 4 files of mine created today with empty image
text pages. I'd agree with leaving it for a day and trying again
rather than spending a lot of time investigating.
If there is a pattern of failures of the same type, then the best
thing will be to raise a Phabricator task request to analyse the
cause.
Perhaps the learning point is that GWT is not a guaranteed service,
something to keep in mind if working to a schedule. If the backup plan
is to find an unpaid volunteer with experience in alternative batch
upload methods, there are only a handful active at any one time, and
most of us are over-committed with a backlog of ideas and projects.
Alternative easy workflows like Flickr2Commons are worth knowing
about, as in a pinch you can "drag & drop" to a single purpose Flickr
account and then mass upload so that the Files can go live to
schedule, however this is likely to leave a problematic amount of
"housekeeping".

Dear all,
Lizzy: i'd say: restart your job, i did the same at 13:48 h (11:48
wikipedia time).
My latest upload before that was at 11:04, then nothing so the job had
gone somehow. Now my small job to test the waters runs ok again.
