@MatthewVernon as you described in T321869 I created separate issue for this.

So, the first isn't in either swift cluster per swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.8b '8/8b/Yankees_Baseball_(4)_(10561723864).jpg' The easiest thing here is probably to reupload it from the original which is still online? Looking in the backups, the eqiad backup system never had a copy, there is one in the codfw backup system. So most likely it wasn't properly uploaded to both clusters originally.

Second isn't in either swift cluster per swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.21 '2/21/Yankees_Baseball_(1)_(10562830654).jpg'. This is in both backup clusters, but again also still available online, so probably easiest to re-upload from the original?

The third isn't in either swift cluster per swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.22 '2/22/Yankees_Baseball_(2)_(10561961695).jpg'. It is again in both backup clusters, and the original is still online at flickr.

The fourth is also not in either swift cluster per swift stat wikipedia-commons-local-public.fd 'f/fd/Yankees_Baseball_(3)_(10561732746).jpg'. It is again in both backup clusters, and the original is still online at flickr.

So I think with all of these, the natural resolution would be to reupload from flickr. If this isn't possible for some reason, I can dig them out of backups and attach them to this ticket (whence an admin could upload them).

@PMG: here are the files from backups. Would you reupload them to Commons?

@jcrespo - I tried to reupload them in same place, but I got error message that I am trying to reupload same file by same file, and then path of uploading ends. So I dont know how to solve problem. Either I am PEBCAK or system is not allowing to "reupload same file in same place". Can someone else upload this files in this place?

I will try to help here, I am assuming it is not just the normal warning, but that metadata, in addition to data (or its code workflow) and that means reupload cannot fix the issue here. :-(. I cannot promise anything but will report with what I find.

@jcrespo thank you very much. Fixing this will make my life easier because its blocking adding structured data in "sport" category. Depictor (that I am using to add structured data) is not handling well such situations, and crash.

So I did:

mwscript importImages.php --wiki=commonswiki --sleep=1 --comment="Reupload due to missing file - T393049" --user="JCrespo_(WMF)" --overwrite /tmp/T393049

Found: 4
Skipped: 4

Despite saying "4 skipped", it actually reuploaded them to the right place, so I won't complain (I checked swift on both dcs). Resolving, as I can now query them and they are at least on a couple of edge dcs too, unless @PMG stills sees a problem.

The right fix is to reupload them from backups and ignore the errors. I will now cleanup the upload dir and archive the test files.

Deleted the test wikipedia files, too FYI

@jcrespo thank you very much. Everything works correct. Have a great day/Wszystkiego dobrego.
