Hi, I'm an experimented user on Commons with more than 3000 edits, and i'm also sysop on french Wikipedia (fr:user:Guérin Nicolas, 19 000 edits).

[edit] User:Diti
Hello,
I'm a regular contributor of Wikimedia Foundation's project, and I plan to join it (the Foundation). Meanwhile, I'd like to help the better I can, and becoming a trusted user could be useful for Commons.
Even though I don't know the differences between CC-by-3.0 and CC-by-2.0 (for instance), I can recognize if a license is free or not. So, if I understood, I just need to verify the license and the real author of a picture, and follow instructions on Template:Flickrreview/doc. That suits to me, I feel myself prepared for licensing review.

[edit] User:Elcobbola
I didn't notice an edit threshold or analogous requirement, so forgive me if my request is premature (I've only ca. 119 Commons edits). I routinely review images and the copyright status thereof for articles nominated for Featured article status on the English Wikipedia. I've participated in several deletion requests here on the Commons, which I hope are numerous enough to allow my knowledge to be ascertained. Otherwise, I could provide en.wiki diffs (if those would hold weight here) or, alternatively, I would understand if it is simply too soon. When reviewing images for FA, I often encounter Flickr images not hosted on Commons. It would handy to be able to transfer and label as reviewed those that have acceptable CC licenses (i.e. allows derivatives, commercial use, etc.) ЭLСОВВОLД talk 18:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Support I've seen you on COM:DR. Contribs look great (more would be nice, but you do have a more established account on en.wp). One thing though, if there are Flickr images on en.wp that should be here, it's better to get them directly from the source (i.e. Flickr) rather than transferring the info from en.wp (especially using upload bots). We don't need things like "transfer from en.wikipedia...", the whole Original upload log, etc. Not sure if that's what you meant, but just in case. Rocket000 05:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Most certainly, I know to go to and link to the source (i.e. Flickr). w:WP:IUP (en.wiki policy) requires all images have a verifiable source. The single most common issue I encounter with the FA candidates are sources that only say "from en.wiki"; that, obviously is not good enough. ЭLСОВВОLД talk 12:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Pruneau
Hi,
I've done a fair number of uploads, mostly from Flickr. I have a good understanding of the different licenses and would like to help out with reviews of Flickr images. Cheers, Pruneau 17:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Support - you appear to only upload BY-SA and BY, and I remember reviewing a few of your images. I'm slightly dubious about the origins of Image:Gabriel Loubier.jpg and Image:Pierre Messmer.jpg, as they appear to be scans of photos so since I've forgotten enough French to be utterly unable to read the set's blurb I can't verify the user has the rights to upload. That being said, I'd like to fail you for being a statistician and for uploading photographs which bore me, but someone would frown at me if I did, so come join in and good luck to you IMO. Saves me reviewing your images :p. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your support, and for reviewing my previous uploads! Image:Gabriel Loubier.jpg was taken at an event organized by Canadian institute ITHQ and was uploaded by the ITHQ on Flickr; I think it's reasonable to assume that they own the copyright. Image:Pierre Messmer.jpg was part of a series (which is unfortunately no longer publicly available on Flickr). The Flickr uploader had put up a bunch of old photos of his friend Bill, including one where Bill happened to meet Pierre Messmer (which I then cropped). The photos were of amateur quality, so again, I think it's reasonable to assume that the Flickr uploader owned the copyright. His photos have gone private before Image:Pierre Messmer.jpg was reviewed, but I've contacted him, so hopefully he'll make them public again. As for being a statistician with an interest in politics, I have no excuse, but I still beg for your forgiveness. Pruneau 11:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

-
- I'd gone over it at length with the English WP arbcom over email (especially with User:FT2 over there), and detailed at length on my English talk page at User_talk:Rootology#Unblock_request. Jimmy and Bauder there did me a huge favor by letting me RTV (for a time), and I really wasn't going to piss that away--my only accounts were PrivateEditor (valid legal sock, not secret), Rootology, and XP (the bad one) on EN. That's me. All the others labeled me singularly went out of their way to poke and prod at MONGO and Hipocrite separately, but they weren't me (I was not the only person that had gentleman's disagreements with those two by any stretch). I'm even willing to leave the Sock categories there alone simply to not stir the pot and swallow my pride. It's not worth a huge fight and drama. That hostility that was directed at several individuals tied into that Arbitration that I brought to be left alone (which led to my banning at the time, sadly) is long since passed. I'm fairly certain and hope I'm out of MONGO's system at this point; he's certainly long gone from mine. I'm sure I was Checkusered significantly already, but any Checkuser on Commons is more than welcome to poke at my IP anyway again. I'll even go one further: 67.168.165.218 is me. rootology (T) 22:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Regardless of any past history elsewhere, (which I believe is in the past) Rootology has been a valuable contributor here and knows licensing, as well as having a good eye for photos, important when trying to spot what's WORTH bringing over from Flickr. I wasn't totally clear why a CU was requested but it was within discretion to run it. I found nothing untoward.
