Event Timeline

Alicia_Fagerving_WMSE renamed this task from Data Upload for Swedish Natural History Museum to Photo Upload for Swedish Natural History Museum.Oct 23 2025, 9:43 AM

We had a very good conversation about the proposed project. About 1000 photos for Wikimedia Commons, with an interesting theme. This can be done in 2025.

Reviewed some examples and it there don't seem to be any potential bigger problems. What's really nice is that the photos (from South America) will have place names, so we can categorize them properly. Possibly then can be interesting for Wikimedians in relevant countries as well.

@KarinGlasemannWMSE will look at setting up a contract with the museum and then we can do the practical work.

Got a first batch of photos last Friday. Time to start the uploads.

Alicia_Fagerving_WMSE updated the task description. (Show Details)

Got another batch last Friday. We're now up to over 500 photos queued. Also got some descriptive texts for https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Swedish_Museum_of_Natural_History and our communication.

Another couple hundreds incoming this week.
