Wigman edit

  • Source to upload from: [1] open dataset, images are allready put on commons by archive
    • Did you contact the site owner?: The images were released by the archive, some paperwork (on the archive having the rights to release the images) can be found in OTRS-ticket 2014091610024198
  • General story:

The images have allready been uploaded by the archive however with names such as File:GA32001.jpg and no image specific description. These descriptions are however available as on open dataset in a csv-file. I've written a script to add the descriptions, and also have more descriptive titles ready to replace the images with, for this I still have to write something, but granted filemoving rights for an hour for the bot I should be able to do this. I've contacted the archive about the issues and they know that I'm planning on adding the descriptions. these changes are descriptive of what I plan on doing, I replace all the contents of the description. I believe only a little bit is lost with this because not much image specific edits have been done. The content added substantially outweighs any potential information lost.

576 images by A.B. Wigman, mainly depicting nature in the Netherlands (most in the areas around Ede and the Hoge Veluwe) photographed between 1916 and 1972
