Description

~~Files can be found at http://ftp.nasqueron.org/CGPGrey/CGPGrey.zip~~

These are images from CGPGrey's flickr stream.

They coudn't be uploaded with Flickr2Commons since there is HTML in the EXIF data of these images.
Some were stored in progressive JPEG format, and since the thumbnail generator was having difficulties with that earlier, I converted them to baseline.

~~I've got two more archives similar like this one, but only limited hosting space.~~

My username on Wikimedia Commons is 1Veertje.

File description txt files are included in the zip file.

Just to note the progress here: Some of the images were uploaded, but not all of them (https://people.wikimedia.org/~hoo/tmp/Vera-upload.log).

So, if I read the log correctly there are 5 files that failed, 1518 that succeeded.

I've since corrected the 5 errors.

That leaves 274 files unuploaded.

I'm not sure yet how to determine which files have fallen through the cracks.

I've now deleted all files that have been uploaded before:

hoo@terbium:~/tmp/1$ ls *.jpg | wc -l
276

If wanted, I can continue with the batch import. Might be a good idea for you to be around during that, 1Veertje?!

I;m arround atm

I've uploaded the remaining images yesterday.

[ Clean-up note: files aren't available anymore on ftp.nasqueron.org. As they have been uploaded to Commons per previous entries in December 2014, this has no impact. ]
