Please make a few test uploads. How many images do you plan to upload in total? --Krd 14:48, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing codes now. There should be thousands of images, and increasing aperiodically. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:48, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have do some test edits. There are 21K+ images. Please review the result and give me some suggestions, thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 11:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As you stated above, http://taibnet.sinica.edu.tw/eng/policy.php says the site is under cc-by-2.5 unless otherwise noted. Sadly all the source pages of the images you transferred note different, i.e. cc-by-nc. Please let me know if I miss something. --Krd 11:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your speedy reply. Well... You are right, although the messages on the guest board of TaiBNET says it is OK to use the data in Wikipedia articles. I think the main concern is that they do not want the works being used in a business product. But there are many images in the site. If I change the bot task; for the species exist in commons, giving a link to TaiBNET, is this a good idea? --Kanashimi (talk) 13:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't get that, please say again in different words or give an example. --Krd 14:33, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For example, add a link:
to Category:Albara reversaria, and add a link:
to Category:Neohelota. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:40, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'm not sure if this is helpful, awaiting additional opinions. --Krd 14:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I will wait for some time if other contributors have any advice. --Kanashimi (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I oppose external links to non-free images from our category pages. If someone wants non-free images, they can easily search. --99of9 (talk) 00:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I find there are many sample photos in the site that wiki do not have. So how about just add a link to the page contains the sample photo? I think this can help the visitor who want to know more about the species. --Kanashimi (talk) 12:37, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the case, why don't we add links to google images? No, advertising for non-free media is not within our scope. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:47, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see no support for the intended task; if there is nothing to add I'd suggest to close this as declined. --Krd 13:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. --Krd 10:53, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
