Thanks for the detailed investigation Dan. There must be some oddity in the way I'm creating my xml (Python generated, then edited in JEdit for any tweaks, should be 'utf-8') so I'll continue plugging at it.

I keep missing your emails and finding them under my spam folder, no idea why.

characters
----------
i have a test xml i use to test titles and added the characters you mentioned. i had no problem uploading the test xml file. here are 2 results that seem to indicate that there should not be an issue with the characters:

example record
--------------
i tested the example record locally and after about 2 minutes i got the message:

The file you submitted was too large. original URL: http://link.nypl.org/2Qqj_oLvSbWRwPxtB1rq_wZ evaluated URL: http://link.nypl.org/2Qqj_oLvSbWRwPxtB1rq_wZ

my wiki was set to a limit of 100mb, so i up’d it to 1000mb.

i also switched to the new preview branch i have in gerrit, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/127839/, for bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63864, which no longer downloads an image to the wiki during the preview step. instead it downloads all mediafiles in a background job.

the job successfully completed after 3 minutes and the image was viewable in my local wiki.

i also took a look at our wikitech instance and saw that you had uploaded the image there without issue. i also repeated the uploaded but got the message:

“This file did not pass file verification.”

this seems to have been thrown by UploadBase.php, so i'd have to look further into that issue. but i also suspect that commons may have just timed out on the download of the image in the preview step. this type of error seems similar to bug 63864. i just need someone to +2 the patch i made so that we can test the new preview step on the beta cluster.


with kind regards,
dan
