[edit] User:Ceranthor

I'm a highly active user over at en.wikipedia. While I'm not nearly as active here, I've got a pretty sound knowledge of image copyright and I think I could do some good here. Ceranthor 22:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:XalD

I often add images from Flickr, I've uploaded more than 600 files here and I have some flags here and in other projects (en.w, es.w, en.n, es.n, fr.n). I want to speed up the Flickr approval process of the pictures that I upload and the pictures that other users upload. Thanks, ~~×α£đ~~^es 22:48, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:The Wordsmith

I have uploaded quite a few images here, but my main activity is on en.wikipedia. I know copyright policy, both there and here, and I know how to spot a potentially nonfree file. I believe that, if given the tool, I could help clear the backlog efficiently when it built up. The Wordsmith (talk) 16:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 Oppose Neutral Not enough images uploaded, recent image deleted for copyright vio. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Plenty of edits at the English wikipedia, still have my reservations about a copyright vio deletion recently though, so neutral. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

That was due to my misunderstanding of what constitutes a derivative work. I was under the impression that a photo of a toy was not considered derivative. After that deletion, I went and read all the policies. I am now confident in my understanding of what is and is not allowed. The Wordsmith (talk) 20:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Under 50 edits since May 2009 on Commons is much too little. We need active people for file review. --High Contrast (talk) 21:18, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, trusted user. Flickrreview is no big deal. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:17, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Support - Trusted, has had two images uploaded deleted, one as a user request, the other as a copyvio. The copyvio one does not concern me as it was a derivative work issue which is an understandable mistake to make and there have been none since, it was also in July (over 3 months ago). I don't see lack of activity as a reason to oppose either, even if the user only reviews a few images a year, that saves someone else doing it, and there is no limit to the amount of users that can be a Flickr reviewer.

[edit] User:Tm

I´am registered here since 29 of June of 2006, but been more active since February of 2008, and have 12730 edits and more than 4000 files uploaded, mostly from flickr, with few deleted.

They were:

1- 4 from Finish Armed Forces, witch i tough were free at the time

2- 10 photos of Summer Glau, that were free when i uploaded them, but flickr user changed the license between my upload and the review, that occurred several days later (flickreviewR was down at the time (see details here)

3- 1 photo (EmmyAwardsHeadquarters.jpg taken by Alan Light), i´ve a higher resolution, but had to be deleted as it showed a statue situated in the United States

4- One file of popemobile, marked as "All rights reserved" but that slipped and was uploaded but i quickly asked for its speedy deletion.

5- And finally one file still being discussed if it is deleted or not.

I´am fairly experienced about copyright laws, freedom of panorama and personality rights, and fairly experienced in sniffing (on flickr) bogus free files, and think that could contribute with my knowledge to the review of files uploaded from flickr, if given the tools, not marking, only, the ones were my knowledge is weak, and the files that i myself upload, leaven them to others review.

[edit] User:Fr33kman

I am very familiar with the requirements of commons when it comes to Flickr. I understand what licenses can and can not be used. I also understand that just because an image appears on Flickr under an acceptable license does not make it automatically okay, some people upload non-free images and relicense them under CC, for instance. I'd like to be much more active on commons and feel this is an area I can help out in. I believe my other activities on WMF sites show I've only got the best of interests at heart. fr33kman -s- 03:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Support seems experienced enough. Although there doesn't seem to be much history in uploading photos to commons... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 05:17, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support. I would've wished to see more Commons activity and you "showing" that you know the licenses. You can do so by tagging copyright violations, participating in deletion requests, and uploading files (esp. from Flickr). However, I do trust you to take it slow and learn anything else from there. If you're unsure, be sure to ask! Good luck. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 21:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Beao

I want to easily add images to biographical articles on Wikipedia. Beao 20:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

How would you handle this Flickr image if it were uploaded to the Commons and pending review? Эlcobbola _talk 21:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

The wall would probably classify as a work of art, and therefore be copyrighted. I would reject the image. --Beao 15:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Support. Good contributions and activity. I think you have what it takes to be a good Flickr reviewer. I'm also enlightened by your response to Elcobobla's question above. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 21:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support. I was concerned by the minimal activity in venues that would allow one to readily assess copyright knowledge, and by the phrasing of the request (being a Flickr reviewer in no way assists addition of images to articles on other projects). The contributions, however, are indeed good and the response is correct, albeit imprecise (note, for example, that CC-by images are also copyrighted, just freely so).

I've been active in getting select images (and videos) to Commons from Flickr. I'm fairly familiar with the process, including checking for appropriate licenses.

[edit] User:Fale

I would like to become a flickr reviewer to help out more the commons comunity. I have some experience in patrolling image both here and on it.wiki (from where I come from). Fale (talk) 19:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose publishes several versions of his pictures often with nondescriptive filenames to the commons (File:Fale - Capo Mimosa - 310709 - 40.jpg to File:Fale - Capo Mimosa - 310709 - 45.jpg (5 of 6 pictures have been nominated for deletion) or File:Fale - Monaco - 92.jpg to File:Fale - Monaco - 96.jpg (5 pictures) are nearly duplicates without categorisation. I think user needs some more experience in commons and which pictures should be uploaded and how to categorise pictures before I would call him a trusted user. see user gallery Fale --Neozoon (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with Neozoon, many many of those uploads have completely nondescript filenames and no description of what it's about, making them very much useless files until someone else recats them if it's even possible. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 01:19, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Lukas9950

I want to be a flickr reviewer because i'm active in the german Dateiüberprüfung (something like the deletion requests here) and i'm sometimes moving images from de to commans or upload pictures from flickr.

•  Support - Has had a few of his uploads deleted as copyright violations such as File:Coj-duel1.jpg, and has nominated images for deletion as duplicates instead of using {{duplicate}}, both of which suggest that a little more experience of Commons is needed. However, for the first case the uploads did not appear to be obvious copyvio with an admin admitting he was not sure, so that can be overlooked, and the second case was a trivial mistake. I have never brought the activity argument on Flickr requests as stated previously - there is no limit to the amount of Flickr reviewers we can have, and if someone uses it once a year then it still saves someone else from doing it. Lukas9950 is as a whole qualified, and that is enough for me. Camaron · Christopher · talk 23:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Justass

Hello, I would like to as for reviewer status. My main interest is in monitoring latests uploads, fighting possible copyright violence, wrong authorship claims. As for now when marking images with speedy in clear cases or DR in possible flickr washing I dont have rights to evaluate upload itself, so I am hoping that with reviewer status my work will be more effective. Besides all above, sometimes I help uploading per Commons:Batch uploading requests --Justass (talk) 15:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Tyrenius

I've contributed to Commons since July 2006 with over 1,100 edits, a large number of them image uploads. I'm familiar with appropriate licences, which I have also dealt with on en:wiki, where I have been an admin since July 2006 with over 34,000 edits: see w:User:Tyrenius. I am aware of differing requirements for en:wiki and Commons usage. I am familiar with Flickr, from which I have used images; I have also not used images from it, which, although having the correct licence, do not appear to have that licence legitimately, i.e. I am on the lookout for false copyright claims. I have considered on more than one occasion applying for trusted user status, on the basis that anything I can contribute here will be less work for others. A case has arisen at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Saatchi Gallery County Hall photo by djrue.jpg, where I have asked to be trusted, so it seems right I should seek community response to this. Ty 02:13, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
