Commons:500px licensing data: Difference between revisions

After the announce of 500px that they will not support Creative Commons license, and will remove the files, the Archive Team start an effort to save those files. check their wiki.

After discussion at Village Pump (check it), Wikimedia Commons volunteers decided to import files... with caution; as there are ~210k files saved by Archive Team, some are out of scope (the minority), and some copyvio also. So the community develop a tool to select files, and import via OATH.

• import-500px It's in development, if you want to help, use the talk page here.

You can also contribute using to import, stills in developing, so bugs will eventually happen.

The tool allow volunteers to see the pictures, the metadata, select, and than import. Solving the issue raised by the community, that saw as problematic import all files at once. Also a better solution that volunteers download all files, select and than massive uploads...

The only draw back is the Internet Archive server, that is slooow, so to help in this project, you will need to be zen. We can use the 500px server to import, but they already deleted a good part of the photos, so you will not be able to see all pictures.

1. Find a way to import files verifying the license, and able to select the files; (done)
2. Creation of tool (already on, but with room to improvements);
3. Importation using import-500px (~28% read);
4. Categorizations, rename, improving description;
5. Report.

Old tables moved to Commons:500px licensing data/Old and Commons:500px licensing data/Old 2. Probably don't need them anymore.

Files without license on 500px today that were already reviewed are okay.
