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_Library) ahead of an edit-a-thon with Europeana happening next week (November 7th): http://www.europeanasounds.eu/event/british-wildlife-recordings-edit-a-thon-at-the-british-library

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!

Best,

Nora McGregor

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=gwtoolset&user=Ndalyrose&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&uselang=nl>.
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
