[edit] Category:Flickr

I think this should be renamed to Category:Flickr images or Category:Images from Flickr to match others in Category:Image sources and to reserve Category:Flickr for the subject itself (e.g. images like File:Flickr wordmark.svg and File:Flickrlickr.png). --Rocket000(talk) 20:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree, and would prefer "Images from Flickr", as the intention of the category would be clearer. Category:Images from Flickr should then also be a sub-category of Category:Flickr. --rimshottalk 15:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
I also agree, it should definitely be renamed. However, it should be "Files" not "Images" because there actually is a few videos from Flickr on Commons. --Yarnalgo (talk) 05:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Closing this thread. Most favored solution seems to be to rename this to Category:Files from Flickr. The current category may continue to exist to hold some of the other subcategories. -- User:Docu at 11:42, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
