Harrison Forman photos - request for help

I'd like to make the photos easier to see and comment on, and also link them in to the Places we've created here. I've set up the framework, now comes the task of importing them. There are 17 pages of photos, and each one takes 20-30 minutes to import. So I'm hoping to get some help!

If you can help process one page, here are the steps to follow:

  1. Open a browser, and go to the UWM site. Pick a page of photos that you'll import (check below that noone else is already working on it).
  2. Open a second browser and go to this page. Leave a comment under this message with the title 'Page X: Started', so noone ends up working on the same page as you.
  3. UWM Browser window (UWM): Click on the page of results you have chosen.
  4. UWM: Click the first photo on the page.
  5. Gwulo Browser window (GL): Click on 'Image (external)' under Create Content on the left menu bar
  6. UWM: Copy the title for this photo
  7. GL: Paste into the 'Title:' field
  8. GL: Under 'Image Galleries:', select "1940-41 Harrison Forman's photos"
  9. UWM: Click 'reference url'. (You'll find it on the left side of the UWM page, just above the photo's title). A small window will appear. Copy the the text from this window, then close it.
  10. GL: Scroll down and paste it into the 'Image (external):' field
  11. GL: In 'Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): ', type 1940-01-01
  12. GL: Click 'Save'
  13. UWM: Click the 'next' link to go to the next photo. Go back to step 5 and repeat.

When you click next on the UWM site, and it takes you back to the list of photos, that means you've finished one page. Edit your comment to show 'Page X: Finished'. Thank you!

Although the search results show 17 pages, the photos after this one were taken in Shanghai, eg "Shanghai (China), entrance gate with GR (King George VI) to the Shanghai Hong Kong Bank "
