Hi Lizzy,
In Switzerland, we often just add the inventory number at the end of the file name.
This is particularly handy if you have similar items with the same or similar names;
otherwise it takes ages to match the items on Commons with the items in your database
later on (or when checking against log files ;-).
Cheers,
Beat

Subject: Re: [Glamtools] upload from Rijksmuseum has stalled?
Thank you for helping me with the log files!!! That is really helpful. There are quite a
few duplicate titles: some are actually not duplicate but just have the same title. We
need to come up with a new and better strategy for naming files! And indeed: some were
uploaded before (for instance by me :-) We also encountered some character set issues: I
cannot explain where that came from but I will research it a bit more.
This has been a huge learning experience for me! So thank you for helping me.
Next upload will hopefully go a lot smoother (we also have some rough edges to deal with
on our side :-))
Best
Lizzy

Dear all,
I restarted my upload on september 22nd: I started uploading approx 2600 images with
works of art depicting birds. Until 25th of september the images were ingested into
Wikimedia Commons (they were slowly dripping in) but over the last two days no new images
are ingested. Does anyone knows what went wrong/why the upload stopped (again) and how I
can restart my job?
I also have difficulties estimating how many images and which images were ingested: which
log can I check? I can’t find the relevant log to see what was uploaded or what problems
were reported etc.
Thank you very much for your help.
best wishes

The logs for you in particular are at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gwto…
If you want the list in xml or json format, you can do
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&…
. See the api docs for details. In particular leaction can be used to filter by
success/failure, and you need to use lecontinue parameter to get the next page of
results.
There are several entries that appear to be "skipped" due to the image existing
already in commons. The records numbers are in the 2800's (The record numbers will
skip around a bit, but should very roughly go from low to high in order), so if you only
have about 2600 images, I would guess that a the tool went through all the images
It seems like that perhaps the xml file has the same filename for several images. For
example
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inhoudsopgave.jpeg is marked as being
replaced by a second image after your initial upload, and in the log, it looks like record
2815 was going to replace that image a third time, except someone had edited that page in
the meantime (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Inhoudsopgave.jpeg&…
), so gwtoolset failed instead of silently overwriting
I also notice several of the templates and file names have question marks in them. If the
? is unintentional, that might represent issue with charset conversions possibly.
GWtoolset is still quite rough around the edges, especially for showing progress and
explaining what happened in case of errors.
