Old projects

Scan released last year at the Internet Archive

I had a look back at the IA upload project and realized that none of these scripts run because of Python, Pywikibot and internetarchive changes. It turns out I find it quite difficult to remember almost anything about these projects too. So don't be surprised if I'm testing it out and there are flaws. I'll do my best to repair any oddities. I'm seeing '+99' notices from my account which doesn't clear, could be a wm bug for big numbers, so I might not notice changes. It's not deliberate. For the moment please don't ask me to take on large projects, I'd rather pace myself at 'slow'. Fæ (talk) 13:07, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, and welcome back!   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 08:11, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Another new "feature" of the Wikimedia API is ratelimiting. Added a couple of slow down precautions including slapping down multiprocessing, but it's definitely dogging uploads despite being visible to the API as an established user. It may be necessary to revisit the throttling system rather than bumping into it. It's sad this creates extra work for volunteers.

For the first time the queries found restricted items at Internet Archive like 1826histoirenumismatiquedelare, where the Washington University appears to be claiming copyright in a 200 year old publication. Good grief, I hope this is not a trend that IA is tolerating. --Fæ (talk) 07:09, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

I have updated a process for finding the text of Google cover pages in the recent uploads. The 'pending' queue is at Category:OCR detected cover page. Yet to update the page removal process. There's no hurry and I will get to this slowly. --Fæ (talk) 06:29, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Welcome back

As you probably have worked out, I've been following this talk page, checking whether DRs of your uploads are valid or not, and responding to the DR with a rationale if I think something should be kept. May I assume you are sufficiently "back" that I can let go of monitoring that?

Welcome back, in any case. - Jmabel ! talk 14:06, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

If you wish, though I'll probably continue to ignore most DRs and let others chip in. After your first million images, the DRs that matter are ones that are a meaningful case study for thousands of others and could be collated with some automated method.

I have noticed your patient work and very much appreciate it! Fæ (talk) 15:21, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• Yes, welcome back! So glad to see this. Krok6kola (talk) 16:06, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

@Fæ Yes, happy to see you here again :) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 09:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

IA uploads

Hi, I see that you have restarted uploading PDF from Internet Archive. FYI, I created a bot which fixed the 21,000+ files you uploaded and were in Category:Book scans with Google Books cover sheets (to remove). Could you please add files with Google cover pages to this category, so that the cover pages can be removed?

I think that all PDF files without any meaningful category are not very useful. If you can't add category, you should at the very least add them to a "PDF files needing category". Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:53, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
