Hi all,

The files are now at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Politics_of_the_London_Borough_of_Lambeth
Anyone interested in improving their categorisation and adding them to articles/Wikidata items?

Thanks,
Mike

Fair point about not needing batch, I thought the linked page was just a sample (current councillors) and we're talking about hundreds rather than dozens of images in total.

And thanks Mike for stepping in!

45 could be easily done on the standard upload; it could also be done using Pattypan, if there's a good deal of metadata to input.

Would we even need batch upload? It's only 45 files I think! Could it be done by a regular uploader?

Hello Lucy and all,

Ideally we want a Commons volunteer with both OTRS and batch upload privileges (which I'm neither). But if none of those boffins are available, I'm happy to volunteer to do the uploading and liaise with OTRS on the councillors' behalf.

Dear all

Many of you will know Jon Davies from his time as the CEO of Wikimedia UK. Well he still carries the open knowledge torch wherever he goes, and has managed to persuade Lambeth Council to release high resolution photos of its Councillors (including Jon himself!) under a Creative Commons license. They are currently online here - and Jon also has access to a folder with all the high res files - but he is hoping that a volunteer will be able to upload these to Wikimedia Commons. Would anyone be able to help with this? Please let me know if so and I can put you in direct touch with Jon. 

Very best wishes
Lucy
