[Foundation-l] Commons reaches 5 million files

2009-09-02 Thread Hay (Husky)
Around 11:46 UTC we reached 5 million files on Commons! Not quite sure
which file is the 5th million, but this is one of the candidates:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kj%C3%B8benhavnsposten_28_nov_1838_side_1.jpg

Thanks everyone for making Commons such as a fantastic project, and
creating the world's largest repository of free images!

Nope, just make sure your browser is rendering the third character in
the file name properly.

That's b/c the image was reverted. See file history.

The broken version was reverted, it is now working again. In case you
want to test it, see the version history or get the following file:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/a/af/20090902125937!Kj%C3%B8benhavnsposten_28_nov_1838_side_1.jpg


From a PR perspective, taking this image as the 5millionth one is a
desaster, the only positive aspect is that it is honest to take that
one instead of a shiny picture.

How do we know this picture is the 5th million?

Just for curiosity, does anyone know what is the scanned paper about?

Perhaps not so much, as it happened to be a first page of the newspaper.

And I guess it is still better than the 2millionth file ;)

Nah, we can use it to make a case for Wikisource and encourage
libraries to provide high-quality scans!

And again, this is just a guess by Platonides. Apparently it could also be:

I would also like to note, this image is a shiny example of the new
annotations feature!

I agree, the scroll-over annotation and translation looks brilliant to my taste.

Thanks,
