Wikipedia:Files for upload: Difference between revisions

Welcome to Files for Upload, part of WikiProject Articles for creation. This process was created to allow unregistered users to add new files to Wikipedia with the assistance of experienced Wikipedians. If you would like to upload an image yourself, you can create an account and after four days and 10 edits you will be autoconfirmed and able to upload files. However, please consider uploading free files over at Wikimedia Commons (guide here).

Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

Comment: Converting the mp3 to ogg is no problem, but I believe that you want the mp4 video uploaded, or? I believe that wikipedia/wikimedia has a restriction which prevents such big uploads. (moreover convertings a mp4 file to ogg will even increase the file size!) mabdul 09:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment: The Youtube video has a size of 125 MB, but we can only upload files, which have a size less than 100 MB. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{WrestleMania XXVIII} _{The Undertaker 20–0} 09:58, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment: As it seems we are now able to upload files up to 500mb, see Commons:Commons:Maximum file size. I will read the possibilities and then starting to convert the file. As this is a rather big file (and the converting/upload needs it's time), I won't finish with this task within a day. I will update this thread for the case that I'm ready to upload or any problem occur. mabdul 10:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh by the way: I'm using (of course) the original file which has ~1400mb not loosing too much of 'image information' through multiple converting actions. mabdul 10:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Didn't know about the existence of chunked uploads. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{WrestleMania XXVIII} _{The Undertaker 20–0} 10:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Just a head-up: I will convert the video over the night and if I get a good result, I can upload it tomorrow morning... hopefully ... mabdul 21:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Mmmh, using 3 different browsers (with always getting different problems), I stopped to upload the video again (after ~8 attempts) with the great error message: "Unknown error: "internal_api_error_UploadChunkFileException".". I will ping avs if I see him online (IRC) next time, because original he said he would do it... mabdul 02:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

I left a talkback yesterday at avs' talk page and a few minutes ago I left a helpme request at Wikipedia:Help desk#Need help at FFU!. Regards, mabdul 10:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

And a new help request at Commons:Commons:Help desk#Need help with a very big upload at WP:FFU. mabdul (public) 08:08, 14 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikignome (talk • contribs)

Comment: Would it not be easier to just file a Bugzilla request for commons:Help:Server-side upload? Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{WrestleMania XXVIII} _{The Undertaker 20–0} 09:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

I normally try to avoid that kind of uploads, but in this case I will upload a better converted file to my public available dropbox then and requesting such an upload. This might take again two days :-/ mabdul 11:36, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

A short update: I have converted the video again and uploaded to my public Dropbox folder. Tomorrow I will fill a bugzilla entry. mabdul 22:14, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Did this ever get resolved? Are you still waiting for the video to be uploaded? —JmaJeremy✆✎ 18:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
