Commons should do the same for images buried in PDF and DjVu file types

Thanks, Gerard! This seems like a great idea. I believe that Liam Wyatt and Andrew Lih are reaching out to the project leader, to see if he needs help uploading some of that content to Commons. Music to my ears :) Fabrice On Aug 29, 2014, at 2:34 AM, Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hoi, This article is of both interest to Commons and Wikipedia.. It is awesome.

The reason to have the images specifically is that the key part of their project was the great difficulty in identifying and extracting the images from the books. . .

I don't think that there is any issue with this.

Hello! I think that this discussion is relevant for Commons-l. We (WMES) are actually currently very interested in this topic. We are getting for WLM14 more images via Flickr than directly via Commons, and are now wondering how to bring those over to Wikimedia Commons after the Flickrupload [1] bot didn't make it to WMFLabs.

I think the best tool for uploading Flickr images is the Flickr option in standard Upload Wizard. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Activate_… Jarek T.
