Description

User:Fæ was making these uploads on a regular basis (as of January 2021, there were over 614,980 files; I assisted with subsequent categorisation) before they left the project. AFAICT, no work has been one since then. The images are highly valuable from an historic and educational PoV.

See User:Fæ/Project list/PAS for detailed documentation.

I've requested a property for the image ID to track it better: d:Wikidata:Property proposal/Portable Antiquities Scheme image ID -- DaxServer (talk) 13:02, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Created as Portable Antiquities Scheme image ID (P13556). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

I'll file a bot request to fill the property for the ~600,000+ files in a couple of days. Once that is done, let's review the batch upload -- DaxServer (talk) 19:19, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing I've filed a bot request at Commons:Bots/Requests/CuratorBot (6) for the SDC to begin with. Also, there are some corrections to be done (see that page for the info). If you some ideas on how we can fix the errors, let me know -- DaxServer (talk) 15:54, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. No idea on the errors. How odd. How are you finding them? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:02, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing The requests to the website from Toolforge are blocked by Cloudflare and thus I don't think I can run this task on Toolforge. I will try to explore alternatives. Bummer :( -- DaxServer (talk) 08:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

How bothersome. Are they blocked completely, or rate limited?

I believe Fæ used to operate a dedicated server rather than using ToolForge. I have no idea if that's why. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

They're completely blocked. Cloudflare returns a challenge and thus we cannot do much. I can run it on my server. I'll try to do that in a few days -- DaxServer (talk) 12:19, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

My server doesn't make a difference as well. It seems I can only run it on my system. Let's see how it goes. -- DaxServer (talk) 15:32, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
