Hi all,

I've been trying to learn how the File Cleanup tool (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_metadata_cleanup_drive/How_to_fix_metadata) mentioned by Gordo a few days ago works. It looks like something which would really be useful for both Commons and for smaller wikis - standardising data would help the chapter the massively! It could be something that the chapter could hold an event or competition around in future - a "Great Backlog Drive" for 2015, like the one we ran in 2011 (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contribution_Team/Backlogs/Barnstars).

Anyway, it's really interesting to see how it works, and I would encourage you to all have a go at using it. 

But to my point: I've fallen in love with it a bit, and tonight, when I get home from work, I am going to have a crack at getting it set up on the Welsh Wicipedia.

Does anyone fancy giving me a hand?
