Programming Language(s): python
Function Summary: Transfer pictures to commons using (a modified version of) imagecopy.py
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Every once in a while
Edit rate requested: Max 6 edits per minute, probably much slower
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: I'm currently transfering lots of pictures from the nl wikipedia to commons using my bot ( approval@commons). I came across quite a lot of pictures at the nl wikipedia which were transfered from this wikipedia (see nl:Categorie:Wikipedia:Afbeelding afkomstig van de Engelse wikipedia for some of them). It makes more sense to transfer these pictures from here to commons, than from nl wikipedia to commons (because of the shorter paper trail). I will first tag suitable pictures with a category (any suggestions on the name?) and will then use the bot to do the actual transfer. For the transfer i'm using (a modified version of) imagecopy.py. I already transfered 5000+ pictures using this program. multichill ( talk) 17:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC) reply

I want to reopen this request. Betacommand's bot is blocked. Source is available here. multichill ( talk) 14:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC) reply
I apologize for preemptively archiving this, the bot make it look like Cobi's BotExpired was current. -- uǝʌǝs ʎʇɹoɟ ʇs(st47) 18:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Also, from the "it would be nice" department, how are you planning to handle files with more than one distinct revision? Sometimes the old revisions may be useful, e.g. if they contain the original version of a retouched picture. A feature I've missed in other Commons transfer tools would be to (at least optionally) upload each distinct revision of the file to Commons in chronological order. I don't think it would be that hard to implement, though you'd need to patch wikipedia.ImagePage.getFileVersionHistory() to provide the URLs to the old revisions. — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 22:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC) reply
