I think will be good idea to internationalize upload date. May be custom field should be added to {{Information}}? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:12, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~custom field?~~--shizhao (talk) 06:51, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneZelenko:

Done internationalize upload date and custom field. See File:Camping Cabins Tulum - panoramio.jpg. --shizhao (talk) 16:11, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK for me. But I spotted other problem: country category is added to images when city/town information is available. I think will be good idea to add check categories template since many photos could be placed in more specific categories. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:15, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneZelenko:

Done add check categories template, see File:Yaxchilán - panoramio.jpg--shizhao (talk) 17:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In this case narrow category doesn't exist (should we ad it?) Is it possible to try bot on images with existing narrow category? I expect that country category will be not added. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:23, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, just tag existing category. and if category is redirect, bot will get Redirect target category. ~~but country category unable to 100% sure whether it should be not added.~~ --shizhao (talk) 15:11, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneZelenko:

Done. remove country category, see File:Palmeras - panoramio.jpg --shizhao (talk) 17:29, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK for me. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By the word, does bot try to check for duplicated files (if somebody imported images to Commons before) before uploading? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:09, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneZelenko: yes. check for duplicated files before uploading--shizhao (talk) 00:25, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If there no objections, I think task should be approved. But may be will be good idea to grant bot status? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

images by bot upload may check category.--shizhao (talk) 16:42, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
