[Wikimediaau-l] SLQ donation report 2

[John Vandenberg]

As many will be aware, the State Library of Queensland (SLQ)
donated 50,000 images to Wikimedia Commons, with Wikimedia Australia
responsible for task of uploading the images.

As part of this collaboration, we promised to provide a regular
progress report, providing a lot of raw data that Wikimedia and the
library can use in presentations.

We provided the first report on February 3:

The second report is now compiled:

There are many contributors to thank for making this partnership a
success so far.

Do you recognise any additional Australians or Kiwis in the report?

Are there any other stats that you think would be useful?

If anyone wants to help, and doesn't know where to start, the
non-existent categories already containing images is an area that
needs humans.

The 'problem' is that those category names were automatically
generated based on the subject headings provided by the library, so
they might be named incorrectly according to the Commons naming
conventions.

A mailing list has been created for the SLQ project.  The bot account
watches every uploaded image, and the Commons server emails the
mailing list whenever a watched page is updated.
As a result it can be high-volume at times.
If you would like to be added to that mailing list, email 'subscribe'
to slq-request at wikimedia.org.au.

The bot will be starting again tonight, and will be focusing on
uploading images of ships.
You can request a batch of images at
