    • Nowhere does it say that flickr reviewers and administrators cannot review their own images from flickr. Cirt (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
      • No it is no rule.. But if you check your own images i will oppose it is my opinion that you should not check your own images. Sterkebaktalk 19:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
        • Flickr reviewers and administrators are trusted to review images from flickr. Period. It should not matter what image it is - the concept of doing a flickr review is the same for all images, and the criterion to check are the same. Not a valid reason to oppose. Cirt (talk) 19:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
          • Well.. It's much better if you let someone else flickr review it as it might just happend that the flickr uploader changes their license on that specific image which you flickr reviewed yourself, and then someone else might think it is a copyvio and that you did a wrong flickr review. --Kanonkas(talk) 14:34, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
            • Couldn't the same exact thing happen if someone else had done the flickr review? I don't see that as a particularly big deal, there are clear cut things to look for when doing flickr reviews. If you can review someone else's, you can review your own. Cirt (talk) 22:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
              • Could happend but if you don't flickr review your own images, we minimize a possible "fake flickr review" although I trust flickr reviewers it's better to let a third party person to do the review, but most of the time the bot does the work. --Kanonkas(talk) 11:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Privatemusings would like to upload encyclopedic material about Australian history and culture, which we certainly could use. I mentored him on Commons months ago and am confident that his understanding of copyright and project scope is sufficient, and that he would exercise appropriate care if his interests broadened. Durova (talk) 18:59, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Nothing wrong with this. I initially had qualms about the concept of reviewers reviewing their own uploads, due to COI, but soon realized that there is nothing comparable to it on Wikipedia (where I'm used to strict COI rules for admins and others). If you didn't create the photo on Flickr there is no COI, you're simply combining the act of uploading it with the act of reviewing it (and if you did create the photo on Flickr, the act of review is superfluous as you could upload directly). Someone would have to be intentionally becoming a reviewer in order to upload problematic images and then clear them in order for it to be a problem and that is not a person we'd trust to begin with. This user is trustworthy and should be allowed to review Flickr images.--User:Doug(talk • contribs) 12:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose — Sorry, but per the above. Although there is no rule, I don't think it is very appropriate to be reviewing images that you upload yourself. There is no shortage of flickr reviewers/administrators to do this, and I actually think there should be policies against this. That is my only issue here though; perhaps if you wish to reconsider this, I'll reconsider my position. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose See my comment. Maybe i change if the user takes the time to answer me Sterkebaktalk 16:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I am here, and reading all comments, Sterke :-) - sorry for not having piped up sooner to respond to your concerns. I think a bit more explanation of what I'm thinking and hoping to be able to help with is probably in order - and further, this might help with some of herby and rjd's concerns too :-)
Taking a look at the link I posted in my request (to The Powerhouse Museum) - you'll see that there's a specific online resource dedicated to some awesome historical images, all of which in my view would be fantastic additions to this project. The museum (and I have a feeling that another museum / gallery down here may be following suit!) regularly updates their flickr account, and I'd like to be able to import some such images over here (I have also flicked them an email to begin discussions about their possibly uploading directly here - in which I indicated that I'd like to 'show them what I mean' through uploading one set in the coming days).
So the bottom line is that I'd like to upload sets from that collection, and have recently figured out how to use 'Commonist' in this fashion. In conversation with Mike Lifeguard (and after a review of the collections etc.), he suggested applying for this status, in order to minimise the work necessary by other Commons participants. The advantage of mike being prepared to talk me through a few things is that I now feel confident enough to be able to review the images in Category:Flickr images needing human review as well :-) Let me know your thoughts, and thanks for taking time to comment :-) best, Privatemusings (talk) 20:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
    • I really don't have a problem with you becoming a flickreviewer, but please tell me that you won't review your own images. All flickr images you upload will be revieuwd first by the bot. If the bot could not check them the are sent to the category needed human revieuw. Most work is done by the bot and there are not so much images that have to be revieuwed by hand. It really doesn't matter for the work load. Whe have a bot that check if the licence is oke (and also accepts flickrwashing), afterwards we get a human review. I think it is best for us (maybe a policy change?) to not review your own images. Flickr licence can be changed and than we need to proof the licence was oke when it is uploaded. If person A uploads a image and person A also checks it it is very easy for the flickr person when he change the licence to say: The person uploaded and checkt it under a fault licence. If person A uploads it and person B checks it... it looks better. So please think about reviewing images in the category and leaving your own images, there is work enough :) Sterkebaktalk 21:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thanks for the reply, Sterke - I see your point, and should further point you in this direction too, where I'm requesting a 'bot flag' to be able to use Commonist to upload large sets of 'copyleft' images. My original intention was to minimise others' reviewing work by applying the 'flick reviewed' tag appropriately to the rather large no. of images I'd like to see up here :-) Perhaps we should look at some sort of on-wiki pre-approval process? maybe the bot request functions as such? - it's good to iron out these issues though.. cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - I think I'm with Rjd0060 here. --Herby talk thyme 16:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support; I disagree with the concept of opposing per what you would like to see as "policy" rather than what is the current way things are done. I also have no objection to people reviewing their own images; I like to assume good faith that if we select someone as a flickr reviewer they're not going to lie about it. Especially when it's someone I know, such as privatemusings, I have no hesitation in extending this trust. As always if we find someone lying about flickr licenses it's trivially easy to remove the flickr reviewer right and tell them to stop doing so (else we block), but I don't believe this will be the case here, so I have no reason not to support. Giggy (talk) 11:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC) Someone other than me is going to have to close this one, obviously.

Im currently a user in Wikipedia and have contributed a lot, where I have received 5 barnstars for my work over there (en:User:Tangomaan).

Many of these images have been uploaded for the articles over in Wikipedia, and since then I now know how everything works around here dealing with Flickr-type images. I exactly know whether a Flickr image meets the criteria of the requirement licenses of Commons, for when uploading images I always check whether it is a Attribution Creative Commons or a Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons, then it is accepted.

Hi, I'm User:Gary King over at the English Wikipedia. Most of the work I do here on Commons is for articles that I work on over at Wikipedia. When I visit the Commons, sometimes it will be when I'm working on an article and want to clean up the images; or when I'm working on an article and would like to add more images to it but can't find any suitable ones on Commons; in that case, I would go to Flickr and find one with an acceptable license to upload to Commons and use. Anyways, I plan to continue my work from Wikipedia over here at the Commons, and I hope that I will be granted Flickr reviewer status so I can help out in that area, too. Thanks!

Being a reviewer doesn't change your ability to use those tools, it just means we trust you to check copyrights on other people's uploads from Flickr. If they don't work for you, you can contact whoever develops the tool and see if they can fix the problem. Giggy (talk) 03:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Rambo's Revenge from en.wiki. Most of my time here is connected to images I am using over there, but what I have noticed in my time here is that whilst the bot can check licenses, it cannot check if a Flickr user has the necessary permissions to release images on the public domain. Despite efforts, copyvios still do get uploaded and can even be incorrectly marked as reviewed. These take a while to delete and in becoming a Flickr reviewer I hope to stop images being uploaded remaining here that were not infact made by the Flickr user.

In the past I individuated some copyviol cases here on Commons too, promptly following appropriate procedures for raising attention on them and I could increase my activity on this project.--EH101 (talk) 19:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - You did 364 edits in three years, feel free to become more active and ask again. You could start at DR and do there some good work. We had last a break down of the Flickr review bot and caused 2000 images that needed to be done by hand from that point I noticed that we had a lot of inactive flickr reviewers and we don't need inactive reviewers. You have done a great job on En.Wiki but that is not important for Commons. Please try again later. Abigor talk 09:07, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Giants27

I've recently began uploading images to Commons and been checking images from Flickr. On the English Wikipedia I have 10,000 edits. Here on Commons I patrol for copy-vios, making sure the license is correct and valid and if not changing it. I am rapidly increasing my time spent on Commons and plan to continue my use of Commons, whether it's uploading images, reviewing images or using images on other projects.--Giants27 T/C 22:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose you've just been here for a short time. Not many edits, and you're not a flickr reviewer - which is why you're not supposed to flickr review images. You may want to check some deletion requests, and continue your good work. --Kanonkas(talk) 07:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I agree with Kanonkas' views. You used flickrreview script without obtaining the permission not once, not twice, but 11 times. That's a clear indication which demonstrates your lack of ability to follow instructions and rules. OhanaUnitedTalk page 02:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Camaron

Hello, I am making myself more active on Commons and I would like to help out with human reviewing of Flikr images. I am familiar with what images can/cannot be uploaded onto Commons, and I am familiar with image licensing such as the Creative Commons variations from image work I have done on the English Wikipedia, as I have been an admin there for a year and a bit now. Camaron | Chris (talk) 21:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Yes. Very clueful admin on the English Wikipedia (in the encounters I've had). Would be an excellent addition. PeterSymonds (talk) 22:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I have been inactive this week due to lots of work unfortunately, but when I have a chance I would like to help out. I also think I have sufficient experience. Camaron | Chris (talk) 12:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to see active users with experience, if possible for the user in question more or less. I wasn't questioning your experience, rather your activity. --Kanonkas(talk) 13:17, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
When I am occasionally very busy I do have to be choosing in where I put my resources, at this current moment I am having to deal with a nomination for adminship on Wikipedia, as the candidate wants to run asap. Now when there is a backlog for something I can do, I have always tried to make a special effort to deal with that backlog. There does seem to be plenty of Flikr reviewers, but activity in general is clearly not overwhelming given that Category:Flickr images needing human review is populated at present. It is unfortunate that it has taken almost 1 month to deal with my request, as on the project page it says After a few days, a reviewer or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the candidate., and if this had happened I would have probably reviewed quite a few Flikr images by now, which is a contribution. Camaron | Chris (talk) 13:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:OSX

I joined the Commons on 27 July 2006 and began uploading Flickr images early on (albeit, not knowing the differences between the multiple CC licenses). All my Flickr uploads from late 2006 onwards have been either CC Attribution or CC Attribution Share Alike, and I am very much aware of the what is and is not allowed. In terms of contributions, I have over 6,700 edits. OSX (talk • contributions) 02:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Xymmax

  • Xymmax (talk · contributions) I'm an admin on en.wiki and an OTRS volunteer on the permissions queue. It would be helpful to be able to approve appropriately licensed Flickr images at the same time I confirm the OTRS permission. I do understand such images must be freely licensed. Xymmax (talk) 15:20, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Symbol support vote.svg Support - User is already trusted in multiple capacities including work at the OTRS permissions queue - I checked at the OTRS wiki and the user is listed there, but you should take a moment to list yourself also at the publicly available version of the list at m:OTRS/personnel. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 20:18, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I fail to see why a OTRS users needs to review images, if a image is free enough for Commons it can be marked as reviewed, if it isn't free enough OTRS permission is needed and it can not be marked as reviewed. So it wouldn't help him if he needs to confirm OTRS permission. Therefor I see a inactive users (less that 100 contributions) that is asking for trusted users status, I oppose Huib talk 20:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Symbol support vote.svg Support - Someone doing OTRS and who is a admin on enwiki should be trusted to be able to review images on Flikr in my opinion; I have seen a few OTRS users do it whilst updating OTRS permissions. Even if you do one per month it still saves someone else doing it and helps the project so why not? Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Wadester16

Wadester16 (talk · contributions) I have about 6500 edits at en:wiki and a little over 1000 here. I do a lot of image work over at en:wiki, which spills over to here. I've cleaned up many images here and have included a complete {{Information}} box on countless images. I also have transferred many eligible images from en:wiki to here assuming they had the correct license. I'm primarily an en:wiki editor, but that does require me to work here often and having stumbled upon this effort, I'd like to offer to review. I'm very familiar with copyright and license policies both at en:wiki and here at Commons (in fact I have a page dedicated to CC-BA-SA CC-BY-SA for people wanting to use my images). I know the difference between GFDL and CC (and that CC is the only free license option offered by Flickr). Let me know if you have any questions; just aiming to be a greater net positive really. I'm also apparently trustworthy to some extent since I was just recently granted rollback. :-) ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 05:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
