User:Fæ/Project list

Batch upload projects do not always show up in my edit history or contribute to my edit count. Some were previously farmed out to Faebot using my own script, but more recent uploads use tools such as GWToolset or my own uploading and intelligent categorization methods such as using the Flickr API. Larger collections of interest include:

• 427,110 R Portable Antiquities Scheme (c. 1,200 pre-existing) GLAM dashboard reports A custom upload from finds.org.uk, taking advantage of the catalogue being available in JSON format.
• 38 R Kriegspressequartier Alben 1914 - 1918 GLAM report, Austrian National Library War Press Room photographs, scans done in partnership with Europeana. Combination of Europeana API and scraping the library catalogue needed, as Europeana had missed out descriptions and dates.
• NYPL this is a slow running custom upload due to largish files being transferred via home internet. The diverse nature of NYPL collections seems to make it wiser to avoid uploading the 180,000+ as one project.

Supporting the LGBT Free Media Collective

• In addition to "custom" Flickr upload scripts, see User:Fæ/Flickr API detail, I have created a simpler command-line generic uploader. In particular this makes uploading or refreshing Flickr Commons collections more realistic to find time for. Images smaller than 1,000 pixels on the longest side are ignored and some "bad" types of filename are adapted based on Flickr sets:

  After my unpaid volunteer project colleague Russavia was banned by Office action (not an action by elected users) with no possible process for appeal, and no reasons given either to the Wikimedia community or to Russavia, I have had little choice but to abandon the Airliners Commons content creation project. As the Wikimedia Foundation have firmly refused to explain what records they hold about me (having previously seen a report about me by Foundation employees for the CEO), there can be no doubt that the Foundation has secretly researched me, in the same way as they have done for Russavia, and that like a form of unelected secret police funded by charity money, Foundation employees refuse to answer any questions about their reports (refer to published email from Foundation Legal). A bizarre and unethical way to behave for an organization that prides itself on transparency when politically lobbying against internet surveillance by Government agencies.
