Pic uploads
Can I suggest you upload all the O'Brien & Iowa pix to Commons? You never know when somebody might have a use for them, even if they aren't needed for the pages in question. (As I rule, I add all mine there, first.)  TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura 21:41, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, that isn't a bad idea. The only problem is that then I have to come up with descriptions for all 100... is there a way to add a batch placeholder description, such as "Taken on such-and-such at this, that, or that location as you can determine by the picture itself."
 * IDK about batch uploading, but I've found, if you use the backspace on the browser window (back to the "upload file" page), the details window stays more/less the same, so all the cats & most of the trivia remains. (Actually, that can bite you if they don't fall in the same cats. : You still need to describe what it is, but a few words does it; you can always go back later & edit the description. (Just sign in, open your gallery, open the image tab, & edit.)  TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura 10:21, 26 July 2011 (UTC) (P.S. I'm not actually watchlisting this, 'cause I've already got more pages on it than I need, ;p so if you want an answer, message my page?)


 * Don't know batch uploading, but you could do this pretty quick if you just put a standard boilerplate description in Notepad and cut and paste. Pick a file name for each photo that describes it and you're good to go!


 * A little generic description like "Ship(s) of the Reserve Fleet, photographed in Suisun Bay, from the Jeremiah O'Brien, July 2011" is fine. We can always add more to the description later.


 * File names could be something like "WarshipsSuisunBay2011_1, WarshipsSuisunBay2011_2, DestroyersSuisunBay1, DestroyersSuisunBay2, ThreeWarshipsSuisunBay_July2011, Cape_borda_ship_mothballed_1, Cape_borda_ship_mothballed_2"


 * You can always just do a few at a time. That's my approach to working through ship infoboxes. :) Djembayz (talk) 13:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
