Hi,
In the upcoming weeks, Rijksmuseum staff and I will do a GWtoolset upload of approx. 2,600 images of artworks in the Rijksmuseum collection.
All images will be uploaded from the domain http://lh2.ggpht.com ... would it be possible to whitelist this domain?
Thank you, Sandra Fauconnier User:Spinster

We should allow this domain only on a temporary basis.
It's a shared domain for applications hosted on Google Cloud services, which contains the relevant photo but also non free fair use pictures from the game Ingress.
As it seems it's generally used by professional editors (Google itself for Ingress, Rijks museum for the current case), this is not a severe issue, so we can proceed, but not longer than required for the GLAM import operation.
@Spinster are you sure it's well on lh2.ggpht.com? There are also lh3 to lh6 live. Furthermore, DNS for lh2 seems now down.
Hi @Dereckson, you are correct - there are also images for the upload on lh3, lh4, lh5 and lh6.
Good to know that it's a Google Cloud server and I understand you want to be careful with this. I think we will be uploading till early October. Is that OK?
Change 234980 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dereckson):
Add *.ggpht.com to Wikimedia Commons upload whitelist
Let's file a task to revert this in some amount of time so we don't forget. Probably some number of weeks after they start?
