Hoi,
Please consider that Wikidata and Commons integration is going to happen in
the second half of this year. This means that references to external
websites including Europeana, VIAF, DBpedia are gold.. Another thing that
will really help is when authors are associated in this way. This allows
for an easy use of the "Creator" templates on Commons.. Even without such
links, use Commons templates if at all possible
Merging "Creator" templates is nothing but a redirect anyway.
Thanks,
GerardM

Good news about the Wellcome Library images. I spoke
with Catherine
Draycott this morning by phone and she indicated that the CC-BY licensing
was the first step in a process that includes figuring out how to get their
content into the Commons so that it can be used on Wikipedia. She and a
colleague have a meeting on Feb 3 with John Cummings (Wikipedia in
Residence at the Natural History Museum, London) and Daria Cybulska
(WIkimediaUK) to discuss this, and also to plan a possible edit-a-thon on
Feb 26th.
I made sure to mention the GLAMToolSet work, which should (in theory) make
it a lot easier for GLAM organizations to bulk upload media and associated
metadata. I was surprised to learn this is already deployed to
commons.mediawiki.org but your account needs to be enabled for you to see
it. I’m not entirely sure if it has been used very much yet though.
So, rather than confuse things further by having starting another channel
of communication I will bow out and let what Daria and John are doing take
its course.

Yes, I saw that, but thought perhaps they would
be interested. I wanted
to at least float the idea.

let them take the reigns as it were.
