I'm having some trouble when uploading multiple photos at the same time, as the photos thumbnails aren't appearing after the upload. That forces me to fill the pictures data (IDs, names, etc.) without seeing the corresponding images, which is difficult if pictures for multiple monuments were uploaded.
Is this normal? Someone else has had this problem?
No, it's not normal; it's a bug with thumbnail generation on the cluster. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39975 if you're interested in the technical details.
The gist is this: This bug appears if you're using a browser that doesn't support client-side thumbnail generation (e.g. IE) or if you're uploading a batch that's greater than 10MB in total size.
We're investigating. WMF is having its all-staff meetings this week but Wednesday is a hack day, so I'm hoping we can carve out some time to look into this then.
