No, I did not publish my code or regex, and I don't intend to. This was a quick hack, and I know I might have missed lots of files. For example, just one random image from the huge Bundesarchiv image donation has a "Date=0-00-00", http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_147-0435,_Wolfgang_Mommsen.jpg (It's a mystery to me, why this is displayed as "november 1999".) Then again, another random Bundesarchive image has "Date=1950-07-05", which should be covered by my hack, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bodo_Uhse.jpg We would have far fewer images from the 1950s if it weren't for this donation. I want to encourage others to invent their own regex and see if they can find other results than mine. My numbers are posted on the talk page of the graph. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
