As an example, below is a failed record in my most recent 're-run', where some records are being skipped (I have no idea how the GWT chooses when to skip or fail). If someone can spot the problem I'd be very grateful

After downloading the linked tiff file in the previous example, that may be a tangent, as the NYPL might be failing to put the right mime data on some of their tiffs. I doubt I'll ever fix that.
Instead, a good example of characters giving a problem is the file at [1]. This caused the GWT run to halt but was successfully loaded once I changed the "Æ" (ae ligature) character in Ægean to a simple "A". The only cause of this failure must have been the character, which is allowed in the mediawiki software.
