Dear Gnangarra,
This is an interesting and (at least to me) surprising claim:
“most GLAM image donations get deleted about 2 years after they were uploaded”
Is there data to back it up? – Some of the image uploads I am aware of are listed here:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama2/
None of them seems to have suffered the fate you are invoking…
Would you mind providing a list of larger image uploads that got deleted several months
after the first 100-200 pictures were uploaded? – If you could provide the reasons given
for the deletions that would be helpful too.
Please don’t spam this mailing list by long messages; just provide a link to an on-wiki
list of the projects you are having in mind.
Thanks!
Beat

Subject: Re: [GLAM] survey for GLAMs about batch uploads to Wikimedia Commons
why run a survey on the upload process and tools when we know most GLAM image donations
get deleted about 2 years after they were uploaded for idiotic reasonings by individuals
who hide on OTRS with no way to get review of the decisions taken despite previous OTRS
agents accepting the permission.

Hello everyone!
The Wikimedia Foundation has created a survey for people involved in GLAM
(Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) media upload projects to Wikimedia
Commons. Please consider filling out the survey, if you are currently
participating in a GLAM batch upload project, or have participated in one in
the past! And we very much appreciate it if you forward this message to
colleagues/partners.
Here it is:
https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7WDA2RZvPDuaV7f
Completing the survey takes 10-15 minutes.
The survey results will be used to understand how the Wikimedia Foundation
can improve its support for batch uploads to Commons - in the project
Structured Data for Wikimedia Commons, and beyond. We are interested in
learning more about the media collections that are donated, the tools people
use to prepare and upload files, and the overall experience of donating
media from GLAM organizations to Wikimedia Commons.
The survey data will be collected and stored under the terms of WMF's survey
privacy statement. A summary of the results will be made public when the
survey is concluded, so that we can all learn from it!
We hope to receive responses from Wikimedia community members and staff at
very diverse organizations - geographically, in terms of size and focus!
Thank you :-)
Many greetings! Sandra

FYI, the link to the "GLAM Donation Survey Privacy Statement" does not
work. Secondly the link from the "GLAM Donation Survey Privacy
Statement" document to the Qualtrics privacy statement (which legally
should override statements on the WMF site) does not work either. I
note that the Qualtrics website usage terms apply by default, which
means that Qualtrics are free to use all of the survey's data in
anonymized and/or aggregated format for any later business purpose
they wish, which is not quite as limited as the WMF statement about
anonymized data.
Thanks,
Fae
