Commons:Flickr2Commons

Shortcut: COM:F2C

Flickr2Commons (neues OAuth) ist ein Werkzeug, das von Magnus Manske geschrieben wurde, um einzelne und mehrere Dateien einfach von Flickr zu Commons hochzuladen. Bei Fragen kannst du unter Commons:Batch uploading um Hilfe bitten. Wikimedia Commons unterscheidet sich von Flickr und nimmt nur Bilder mit pädagogischem Wert auf, z. B. werden keine Urlaubsfotos akzeptiert. Weitere Informationen findest du unter was Commons nicht ist.

Lizenzen

Auf Flickr kannst du nach Bildern mit dem Lizenzfilter „Commercial use & mods allowed“ suchen. Du kannst Bilder von Flickr hochladen, die unter einer der folgenden Lizenzen verfügbar sind Namensnennung Lizenz Attribution-ShareAlike Lizenz Public Domain Dedication (CC0) Public-Domain-Mark, aber bist verpflichtet, die entsprechende PD-Lizenz auf der Dateiseite hinzuzufügen, zum Beispiel {{PD-US-expired}} oder {{PD-Portugal-URAA}}. Wenn du nicht weißt, welche PD-Lizenz gilt, nicht hochladen. Um die Lizenz für ein Bild, eine Gruppe von Bildern oder alle Bilder eines Flickr-Kontos zu ändern, lies bitte die Anweisungen hier. Du kannst auch eine Standardlizenz für alle zukünftigen Uploads festlegen. Hinweis: Du kannst Flickr2Commmons nicht verwenden, um Bilder hochzuladen, für die ein Verbot von Derivaten oder nichtkommerziellen Inhalten gilt. Hinweis: Einige Flickr-Konten stellen unzulässigerweise urheberrechtlich geschütztes Material anderer Leute unter offenen Lizenzen ein. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Commons:Questionable Flickr images und {{Flickrvionote}}.

Hochladen von Bildern

Schritt 1: OAuth autorisieren Du musst OAuth (eine Software, die Bilder in deinem Namen hochlädt) autorisieren, bevor du Flickr2Commons nutzen kannst. Siehe den Link oben im Flickr2Commons-Tool, um dies zu tun. Du musst dazu in deinem Wikimedia-Konto angemeldet sein. Denke daran, dies jedes Mal zu tun, wenn du Bilder von Flickr2Commons hochladen willst.

Schritt 2: Auswählen der hochzuladenden Bilder Du kannst die Bilder, die du mit Flickr2Commons hochladen möchtest, auf eine der folgenden Arten auswählen. Alle in Frage kommenden Bilder von einem Flickr-Benutzer Du kannst alle Bilder eines Benutzers hochladen, indem du den Benutzernamen oder die NSID in das Feld Flickr-Benutzer-ID oder -Name einfügst; um die NSID eines Benutzers zu finden, kannst du das Tool idGettr verwenden. Wenn du eine sehr große Anzahl von Bildern aus einem Flickr-Konto importieren möchtest, kann es hilfreich sein, diese in Form einer Reihe von Fotosätzen hochzuladen: Dies verringert das Risiko, dass eine große Menge an Arbeit verloren geht, wenn dein Browser abstürzt. Eine Fotoserie You can upload all eligible images by pasting the ID number of a photoset into the Flickr photoset ID field; to find the ID of a photoset, copy the string of numbers in the URL after albums/ when you are on the web page for that album. A single photo To upload a single photo, copy the photo ID into the single Flickr photo ID field by copying the last string of numbers in the URL when you are on a webpage for a photo. Note: Alternatively you can use the Flickr Upload Wizard to upload a single file.

Step 3: Run the Flickr2Commons image finder The next step is to click Run; if you have entered the information correctly and there are images available under a compatible licence they will appear in the tool. By default the tool will only show images not already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

---

Step 4: Name files Make sure the file name is descriptive; names of images uploaded on Flickr can often be just a series of numbers, but Wikimedia Commons prefers some kind of descriptive name. For a series of images of one subject you can do this by adding a name prefix, so 12345.jpg becomes House of Commons 12345.jpg. If the images already have descriptive names with a string of numbers in brackets after them, these are perfectly acceptable to leave as they are. Wikimedia Commons does not accept file names with special characters e.g @, /, \, or *, so please remove these: otherwise the upload will fail. Brackets (()[]) are accepted characters.

---

Step 5: Add descriptions Every image uploaded to Wikimedia Commons needs a description to help people to understand the image. Often images on Flickr will have an existing description which will appear just below the categories box under each image, you can simply copy and paste this description into the description box.

---

Step 6: Add categories All files on Wikimedia Commons need categories, which help group photos by their subject and also by who created them, e.g. all images produced by UNESCO are in Category:Photographs produced by UNESCO. Having a category for the organisation that produced the images helps to keep them organised but also allows you to measure where they are used on Wikimedia projects and how many times they were seen. If you're creating a category for your organisation a common format to use is Category:Images from NAMEOFORGANISATION . Also please make sure the category you upload to is not already in use for another purpose, e.g. for another organisation with the same name. To find which categories are already available: Search on Wikimedia Commons for the subject you want; Chose an image that relates to that subject; Scroll down to the bottom of that page to see which categories that image is in and copy one or more of them. Its important to check for existing categories because of differences in language around the world, e.g. US/UK spelling differences. You can add categories to images by adding them individually to each images; make sure to use this formatting when adding a category to an image [[Category:NAMEOFCATEGORY]]. You can also add a category to all the images you want to upload by clicking the Add category just under Append everywhere (categories etc.) near the top of the page and pasting in the name of the category. You can also use the Auto-detect categories button at the top of the page, although this often gives unexpected results.

Step 7: Import Once you have checked your work you can upload the images to Wikimedia Commons: to do this click Transfer selected files to Commons. Tip: Make sure you don't press the other blue button labelled Run again, as this will wipe out all your work.

---

Step 8: Let the upload run Uploading files is not instantaneous; it takes time. As the files upload they will get a blue window around them. Once a file has been uploaded the window will turn green for success, or red if there was a problem and the file couldn't be uploaded.

---

Step 9: Check the uploads Once you have uploaded the images please check through them; the easiest way to do this is to look at your uploaded file list, which can be reached by clicking the Uploads button in the top right hand corner of any Wikimedia Commons page (when you are logged in).

Using the images on Wikimedia projects

You can use the images you have uploaded on other Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia: find out how to get started here. If you have uploaded a lot of images from an organisation, or on a specific subject, you could contact a relevant WikiProject or your local Wikimedia chapter or group who may be interested in helping get the images used on Wikimedia projects.

Measuring reach

If you would like to see where images you have uploaded are used on Wikimedia projects and how many times they are seen you can use the GLAMorgan tool to run queries. If you want to measure the reach of images from an institution with a large number of images on Wikimedia Commons you can also request that your institution be added to BaGLAMa 2 which will provide you with a monthly report.

FAQ

"Flinfo says 'bad user'."

This error message means the account whose photographs you plan to upload is blacklisted. Accounts are blacklisted because of copyright infringement, usually in the form of licence laundering. User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors is the complete blacklist. Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users is an incomplete table of rationales behind each entry. To find a numeric Flickr ID, you may use idGettr. If you feel that a blacklist is unjustified or have any questions, please leave a message at Commons:Village pump. A blacklist is not a ban on the account owner's works. For example, if a photo is indeed taken by the account owner and released under a compatible licence, it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and reviewed by trusted users.
