United States Fish and Wildlife Service

Moved from commons-l to here:

Here's the latest output from my upload script: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FWS_1_Local_resident_working_on_dog_sled_harness.jpg

This includes all of the changes that I was planning to make. What do you think? Shall I go ahead and upload all of the images that I have downloaded at http://images.freeculture.org?

FWIW, the code is here: https://github.com/gameguy43/usable_image_scraper In particular: https://github.com/gameguy43/usable_image_scraper/blob/master/wikiuploader.py

Opinions

I moved it here. Feel free to change this page whatever way you like. I love the fact that you're working on this! Some input from my side:

• Title: Please don't prepend with "FWS", this messes up to sorting of categories. Please append it (<title> - FWS - <id>.jpg like that)
• Date: Please use the original date (not the scan date)
• Original metadata: Please don't add that. You just have to integrate it with the page. An easy way to do that is to create a template you can substitute at upload, see for example user:Multichill/WGA. If people ever wonder about the original fields they can just check the uploadlog. Started one at User:BotPyrak/FWS
• Categories: This image is uncategorized. The subjects seem to be very suitable for assigning categories. You can either put the images in these categories directly or work with temporary categories so users have to move it.

Multichill (talk) 14:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC) Ok. I started an upload template at User:BotPyrak/FWS.

1. At upload do

   {{subst:User:BotPyrak/FWS|subst=subst|

2. Loop over the key value pairs and output them like

   |<key>=<value>

   (code for that is already in pywikipedia). The individual subject fields have to be available at subject_1, subject_2 etc. I still have to add the code for that to Pywikipedia.
3. Close with

   }}
