There is a big problem with adding all this material. It’s looking like a big data dump. While I have no problem with the underlying copyright rationale, there are problems with categorization and with undocumented templates. Many of these have no topical categories, or categories that are so obscure that nobody will ever find them. Some categories may have worked well in Commons in an established category tree, but that doesn’t work here. This project started as a Wikisource spinoff, not a Commons spinoff; we do not have anyone with the experience or desire to curate any significant amount of this material. I would suggest holding off until these matters can be properly addressed. [[User:Eclecticology|Eclecticology]] 06:53, 14 January 2013 (EST) | |||

Planning to import images affected by the URAA
Hello,
What is the status of your project? Regards, Yann 00:47, 10 October 2012 (EDT)
There is need a bot
Hi! You have made a big mess on Special:RecentChanges. Why don't you register a bot account? For a bot flag you can ask Eclecticology. Regards Electron ツ ➧☎ 17:20, 12 January 2013 (EST)
- Okay, I've created User:Transfer from Wikimedia Commons bot and left User:Eclecticology a message, and switched the bot to using that account. However I'm not going to be able to suspend uploads until the bot is approved, because that will probably take a very long time and this is a somewhat urgent matter.

URAA material
There is a big problem with adding all this material. It’s looking like a big data dump. While I have no problem with the underlying copyright rationale, there are problems with categorization and with undocumented templates. Many of these have no topical categories, or categories that are so obscure that nobody will ever find them. Some categories may have worked well in Commons in an established category tree, but that doesn’t work here. This project started as a Wikisource spinoff, not a Commons spinoff; we do not have anyone with the experience or desire to curate any significant amount of this material. I would suggest holding off until these matters can be properly addressed. Eclecticology 06:53, 14 January 2013 (EST)
