Commons Batch Uploading is a project to centralize the uploading of a collection of files, that have released their work as PD or any Commons compatible license. The files would be assigned to a bot operator who would see how the request would be fulfilled. (To upload batches from Flickr, please make requests on Commons:Flickr batch uploading)

Before you request a batch upload here, please read the guide to batch uploading first.

See w:Wikipedia:Public domain image resources for potential future batch uploads.

Create your Upload request:
  1. Replace "Name" with your Upload's name in the box below and click the button.
  2. Add a description on the resulting page and save it.

Add your Upload request under one of the following sections:
  1. Edit the following Request List, adding the following text to the top of the appropriate section (replacing "Name" with your Request's name):

Perry–Castañeda Library Map Collection[edit]

  • Source to upload from: http://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/
    • Do the media URLs follow a pattern?
      The urls themselves, so far as I can work out, don't, but in the same way as in Adobe Acrobat Pro you can set it to go down a list of web links to generate a single pdf, a bot may be able to too
    • Does the site have an API?
      Bit technical, but I dont' think so
    • What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?)
      I don't know
    • Did you contact the site owner?
      No
  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …): vast series of maps generated by the US Army Map Service (i.e., PD-USGov-Military) in the Perry–Castañeda Library Map Collection, The University of Texas at Austin
  • Which license tag(s) should be applied? PD-USGov-Military
  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? In terms of the file naming convention, this could follow that of the site, i.e, the top of each page has the series, a credit to the US AMS, and the date, then each map file has the name of the map, the sheet number (for the index pages, cross-references from adjoining maps etc), and the scale

NB there are already some files at Category:India maps by U.S. Army Map Service (plus various other individual uploads etc within Category:Maps by the United States Army Map Service), and it looks from below on this page and eg this commons image that "Slick-o-bot" may have been used in 2012 to upload some or all of these (I'm most keen on the various Japan-related maps (especially the 3x Honshu 1:50,000 series) but imagine every region would benefit).
This would be a mind-bogglingly great addition, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 14:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Claremont Colleges Digital Library[edit]

  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):

All photos in the Boynton Collection of Early Claremont, all of which are dated prior to 1925. If it's not too much trouble, it would also be very nice to have all photos in the Claremont Colleges Photo Archive and City of Claremont History Collection dated prior to 1925.

  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? Not sure

Sdkb (talk) 07:42, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Opinions[edit]

Were these photos published prior to 1925, or merely taken prior to then? Publication needs to be pre-1925 for {{PD-US-expired}} to be allowed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 08:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: The about page states The collection ... is believed to have come to Pomona College included with the papers of Charles Luther Boynton, a Pomona College alumnus and missionary to China. Boynton himself graduated from Pomona around 1900. I can't say for sure the year his papers came into possession of the college, though (which I assume would be the date of publication?). The library would probably tell us if we asked, though. Sdkb (talk) 05:47, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Acquisition by the college would not be considered publication for the purposes of copyright. Only use in a publicly released printed material, or on a webpage, is considered publication. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
@Pi.1415926535: does being added to a library not count as publication? The collection has presumably been housed in the special collections department and publicly available to anyone who requested access since it was obtained. Sdkb (talk) 20:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
A collection merely being in a library does not constitute publication, by my reading. Under copyright law, publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership or by rental, lease, or lending. Offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of people for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display also constitutes publication. (From here.) Is the death date of Boynton known? If it was before 1950, then {{PD-old-70}} applies. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
@Pi.1415926535: According to here, Boynton died in 1961, so not quite. The above would seem to me to indicate being in a library counts, though, because of lending, which is what a library does. Sdkb (talk) 19:11, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
A collection in the library would be the originals (not copies) and is likely for use only in the library (not lending). I understand that you wish to have this collection available on Commons, but from the available evidence I do not believe the images are public domain.

Baseball Hall of Fame[edit]

Is there a practical way to batch extract and upload files that are tagged with "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/" under the "Copyright note" section? They basically confirm which files are in the public domain. Or they will sometimes post in that same section "The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is not aware of any U.S. copyright or any other restrictions in the documents."

NPGallery[edit]

  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):

"NPGallery supports a wide array of digital asset file types (images, MS office formats, adobe pdfs, audio files, videos)." We would, I think, be primarily interested in their photographs of national parks.

  • Which license tag(s) should be applied?

{{PD-USgov}} may apply to many images, but they need to be checked individually. This could probably be automated to some degree.

  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?

Standard templates such as {{Photograph}} should be acceptable.

This was spotted by Animalparty on COM:VP. BMacZero (talk) 00:12, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Opinions[edit]

  • Comments by Animalparty.
  • {{PD-USGov}} would be the most inclusive template, but is rather vague. More specific templates include {{PD-USGov-NPS}} and {{PD-USGov-Interior}}. Any Photographer field that says "NPS Staff" or "NPS Photo" (e.g. [2]) should automatically get PD-USGov-NPS.
  • I think {{Photograph}} or {{Information}} are fine, ideally with detailed semi custom fields for keywords, collection, location, etc., as seen in the Library of Congress images uploaded by User:Fæ (example).
  • The more pre- or auto-categorization, or at least clearly noting collection, yeear/decade, geographic unit, etc., the better, else we dump thousands of unsorted of images into already cluttered categories like Yosemite National Park.
  • There may be overlap with some material on Archives.gov , individual National Park Flickr feeds/websites, and such material already uploaded. But I think the value of the images uploaded at their largest file size and with curated metadata outweigh the inconvenience of some duplication.
  • Many files have geographical coordinates, but I suspect that many are generic coordinates of the center of the National Park or Monument, rather than being unique to the photograph.
  • Thanks for initiating this, sorry if these comments are basic/obvious to experienced mass uploaders. --Animalparty (talk) 01:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)


On some more inspection, certain images may be a bit problematic in terms of copyright, namely works of art (e.g. paintings and sculptures) not explicitly credited to NPS employees, but that are nonetheless labeled "Public domain:Full Granting Rights". Some of these appear to be created by Artist-in-Residence programs (e.g. this gallery and this one), and from browsing elsewhere it appears that different parks may have different rules regarding copyrights. Rocky Mountain National Park states "Artists are also required to provide the copyright for this artwork to the National Park Service. The National Park Service will not allow the commercial use of any donated artwork once it is selected and accessioned into the Park's permanent museum collection", which is a restriction against public domain. Perhaps no art from Rocky Mountain was transferred to NPGallery? These 2 images from the U.S.S. Arizona memorial are labeled PD on NPGallery, yet on a different NPS page their status is ambiguous, with the included usage disclaimer "Multimedia credited with a copyright symbol (indicating that the creator may maintain rights to the work) or credited to any entity other than NPS must not be presumed to be public domain; contact the host park or program to ascertain who owns the material" (emphasis added).

Side note: I think every photograph I've viewed on NPGallery has the Copyright disclaimer "Permission must be secured from the individual copyright owners to reproduce any copyrighted materials contained within this website. Digital assets without any copyright restrictions are public domain.", but every file is also labeled Public domain in the Constraints Information.

Another snag I've noticed, just from browsing the term "Artist", are that some images are scans/photographs from newspapers that were most likely not originally created by Federal employees (although the derivative scans/photos are): for instance Louis Grell illustration album, with cartoons by Louis Grell published in World War I.[3] These are still PD via pre-1924 publication (and possibly by {{PD-USGov-Military}}), but it hinders accurate bot-designation of PD template.

And public domain rationale is ambiguous on this vido, with Copyright" "Photo courtesy of Betty Maya Foott, Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative" (so, probably not a federal employee), yet is nonetheless labeled "Public domain:Full Granting Rights". I may have just found a relative handful of exceptions. But there are also probably a good deal of historical photographs that are PD-1923 or PD-no-notice yet not US Government works. Perhaps a generic umbrella template similar to {{Flickr-no known copyright restrictions}} could be used to encapsulate different possibilities, like {{PD-NPGallery}}.

I think it would be a good idea to contact someone at NPGallery to double check that all media labeled public domain is in fact public domain, for some reason, especially when rationale is ambiguous or lacking. We also might want to consider not transfering the somewhat intimidating, potentially misleading Copyright message "Permission must be secured from the individual copyright owners to reproduce any copyrighted materials contained within this website. Digital assets without any copyright restrictions are public domain." This may be a liability disclaimer on NPGallery's end, but ideally, everything we transfer to Commons would be in the public domain, and so no permission need be secured. --Animalparty (talk) 11:45, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Working on adapting my bot to handle this. I'll contact them, and also start with only things that are obviously PD. BMacZero (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
I e-mailed NPGallery a while back about the public domain statuses of images and neglected to share here. Unfortunately got a not-too-helpful response essentially saying that the licenses and attributions are not "consistent" and "there is not a good way to assure an asset id is truly in the public domain, or not". We'll have to figure out what types of signals we can rely on to decide whether {{PD-USGov-NPS}} or other templates apply. Of course, publication pre-1924 will be a good one to start. BMacZero (talk) 04:30, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm currently harvesting a list of all the images. It's going a bit slow but it should only a take a few days. After that I'll start downloading the metadata, which may take several days. BMacZero (talk) 04:45, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Ah, a shame about the inconsistent licensing criteria. I guess pre-1924 and files credited to "NPS staff" or similar can be prioritized for now. --Animalparty (talk) 19:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):
All photographs of listed buildings by this user are of high quality and are tagged [listed building]. They would be very useful to have on Commons as every listed building has an item on Wikidata. I'd like them to be uploaded en masse and given the categories Category:Listed buildings in [county or London borough] and Category:Images by Stephen Richards. I could then further refine the listed building categories manually. However, the terms "Grade I", "Grade II*" and "Grade II" (the three listing grades for buildings in England and Wales) appear in the image descriptions, so is there a way that these could be picked out and used to categorise the images on Commons?

Opinions[edit]

@Guanaco: There is a lot of copyrighted material within these images, e.g. [4] [5]. (Just because this is a U.S. government web site this does not mean all the material is U.S. government material and by this means freely usable!) Actually I have not found too many images that really can be used (e.g. [6]). You should at least provide a procedure how to distinguish between copyrighted and free material. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 11:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

@Reinhard Kraasch: The gallery search function [7] has a filter by copyright status. [8]
I've found that the URLs linked by the thumbnails provide species information within <title>: https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=HACA2&photoID=haca2_003_ahp.jpg#
The search is navigable with &page=2, 3, 4, etc.
I'm actually interested in scripting this myself now, though it would be my first batch upload task. Guanaco (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
@Guanaco: Well, just go on... On the other hand it always is a good idea to have a second opinion with such a batch upload - especially for the non-technical aspects. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 20:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

US National Archives[edit]

I am hoping to begin a bulk upload of media from the US National Archives in the next few weeks. This will be a very different approach from the first upload, which was based on uploading files from an offline drive and scraping HTML for the metadata. This time around, NARA has an API for our online catalog, and so I am building a bot, using mwclient, to upload using the live metadata and files from the API. Some details:

Dataset

The dataset includes all PD materials at https://catalog.archives.gov (API: https://catalog.archives.gov/api/v1). I plan to begin with a series of ~100,000 WWI-era photos. Technically, there are over 15 million files (and counting) in this dataset.

File names

The script is currently configured to name files with the formula: For single-page items:

  • "File:[TITLE] - NARA - [NAID].ext"
    Where "[TITLE]" is the catalog record's title field, and "[NAID]" is the National Archives Identifier. If this is over the character limit, "[TITLE]" is automatically truncated, with "(...)" appended.

For multi-page items (since the above formula would give all files belonging to one catalog record the same title):

  • "File:[TITLE] - NARA - [NAID] (page X).ext"
Metadata

We are developing a custom metadata mapping, since NARA does not adhere to a metadata standard. You can see the metadata template we use here: {{NARA-image-full}}. Some notes:

While all the records in this catalog come from NARA or partner institutions, there are many different facility locations, and some NARA facilities have their own institutions templates already (e.g. US presidential libraries). Therefore, I am creating institution templates to go along with all NARA locations, and the script will insert the correct institution template based on a mapping.

NARA's authority file is not yet mapped to Wikidata, however that is definitely something that would be useful in the future. For now, we will upload files with NARA's creator and author names and their NAIDs and links back to the catalog authority record. However, including the NAIDs in a Commons template field means that in the future, Wikidata could be used to make creator templates appear instead. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Licenses

Because NARA records are nearly all (>99%) derived from the records of US federal agencies, these uploads will use {{PD-USGov}} or its subtemplates. Most NARA records are in one of about 600 record groups based on their creating agency, so I am using a mapping of NARA record groups to Commons PD-USGov templates so that the bot can apply the more specific agency templates in most cases. Help filling out this mapping would be appreciated.

Nearly all holdings of the US National Archives are in the public domain as a work of the federal government (or, otherwise, due to age). This is marked in the "use restriction" field in the catalog, with a value of "Unrestricted" indicating public domain determination by the archivists. Therefore, the script will be configured to skip over any records in which the use restriction is anything other than "unrestricted" (even "possibly" ones, which could ultimately be PD, but need a human determination).

Categories

All uploads will be automatically categorized by the metadata template into Category:Media contributed by the National Archives and Records Administration and a category for the series they belong to (such as Category:US National Archives series: DOCUMERICA: The Environmental Protection Agency's Program to Photographically Document Subjects of Environmental Concern, compiled 1972 - 1977). Eventually, the script will be designed to create the series category if a file is uploaded for a series which does not yet have one.

When it comes to topical categories, past NARA uploads utilized the {{Uncategorized}} tag to encourage the community to add topical tags. However, since this creates work for the community, I am planning this time around to run uploads a small batch (hundreds to a few thousand) at a time, so I can upload them with one or more topical categories that apply to all records in the batch, rather than uncategorized.

Code

You can find the upload bot's code at https://github.com/usnationalarchives/wikimedia-upload. This project is being developed in public on NARA's official GitHub account. I would welcome collaboration (pull requests or otherwise) there. In addition, the Commons community is welcome to file issue reports on that repo.

Examples

The most recent test uploads can be viewed in Category:US National Archives series: American Unofficial Collection of World War I Photographs. I am still polishing the upload script, but these examples essentially represent what should be expected from the bot once it gets started.

Opinions[edit]

The bot account is technically already flagged from the last bulk upload a couple of years ago, however I would like to submit the current plan to community review before restarting uploads. If there are any opinions on the bot's design or the format of uploads or other issues, I am happy to hear them. We'd also like to know whether to limit what is uploaded in any way—as in, would Commons actually be interested in 15 million files, or might some of these, like the millions of census cards, not be of interest. Also, if anyone is interested in helping out with the coding or other tasks, please feel free to let me know. This is a big undertaking. Thanks! Dominic (talk) 17:25, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
