Thanks Brian Yes more have now uploaded, but it will take days at the current speed. Does the process time-out at all or will it keep going as long as our servers are running?

Also, do you have any suggestions as to why some images are timing out? Thanks for your help. Jason

Now some uploads run fast in the foreground and of course win over a

background GWTs-job (~100s x slower). Perhaps we should share the room more equally, slow uploads can endanger projects, less to show to donors.

It would be a good idea to do some testing on the beta server before using the GWtoolset in production, it's a lot of work to make changes to large numbers of files on Commons. These type of mistakes will then be filtered out by the time you do a batch upload. Here is a write-up <http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201407/first-batch-upload-wikimedia-commons-using-gwtoolset> of my own workflow. As for filenames, each name must be unique. So try and create a unique name by using e.g. the title field, identifier field and date as a combination.

Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but i have noticed with our upload Sysops can perform a history split [1] for you. If you list me the files I’d be happy to do it for you. [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:History_merging_and_splitting#Hi…

Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but i have noticed with our upload of Welsh landscapes that several different images often have the same file name. Each upload is just replacing the previous file by that name. Is there some way to give each 'version' of the file its own page on commons or would i have to manually identify each one and re-upload with new file names?
