If you contact the flickr owner, he may change the license to either cc by or cc by sa. I remember he changed the license for 1 image you asked. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Flickrmail sent. Yes, he changed the license for File:Hôtel de ville de Vlora.jpg, you are good! --Captain-tucker (talk) 02:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] 4 images
Most of the images in the unfree category seem to come from orphaned flickr accounts. These 4 come from 3 separate flickr accounts which have been active recently and it may be profitable to contact them. Just let them know that if they wish to see the images deleted from WikiCommons--ie. without a license change--please kindly send a reply to you. It really boosts people's reply rates. If they reject commercial use, just file a DR. As an aside, net_efekt changed the license to cc by sa:
Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- I will look into these images. It took a couple tries for net_efekt, first he removed the SA and left the NC, after a second flickrmail he set it right.--Captain-tucker (talk) 21:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- That's fine. When I contact people, I give them an option of changing the license and letting the photo stay here or asking for its deletion. (so people will in most cases make a reply) I see the 3 flickrowners above understand English so communication shouldn't be a difficulty. I have sent 2 final flickr messages on these 2 photos: File:Colourful green market.jpg & File:Tifariti.jpg (and to no one else). The second resulted in a DR...while I am still waiting for a reply on the first picture as the flickrowner is away. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:20, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

- Flickrmail sent to the three authors. Hopefully I will get some responses. --Captain-tucker (talk) 17:21, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Good luck whether its positive or negative. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

- It looks like we should start nominating the old "flickr mail sent". Should we say 1 month old? Funny thing anyway. I asked Flickr user but got no result then Leoboudv asked and got a response. Maybe we should ask all three of us :-D --MGA73 (talk) 20:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good, no problem with 1 month. I got responses from 2 of the 3 flickr authors so far, passed 3 of the 4 images. --Captain-tucker (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Congratulations on getting 3 of the 4 licensed freely. I would say this image should be in a DR now. You sent a message to the flickr owners but they kept on downloading new images and ignored your message: File:Honda Center playoff06.jpg! I think this also should be closed as delete: File:Studley Royal, Ripon.jpg with no proof of a free license by the flickrowner. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 3 photos
I decided to contact the photographer here and luckily he was open to changing the license:
It made sense to contact one person for 3 photos though I'm sure they were unfree when Masen uploaded them in 2006. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:50, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe you could leave a note on the Captains list when you contact the Flickr users? So we do not risk to contact them twice. I noticed that we have done that a few times. --MGA73 (talk) 21:18, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Its OK. I don't like removing images from his list because he can be confused with 150+ images. Its better if he does this. Also, this has been OTRS'ed by Admin Raymond: File:Globetrotter Koln.jpg I hope this helps, The unfree list is now 153 photos. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:30, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
-
- You do not have to remove the. Maybe just add "I send a mail to the user" :-) --MGA73 (talk) 23:01, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- OK. I removed 4 passed images and noted 1 new DR filed by me. I did not touch the image on list which are already deleted. Hopefully the captain can flickrmail a few more flickr owners if the image is good/important. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:18, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 Comment: It may be profitable to flickrmail this user on this image below since he licenses his photos today as cc by sa:- File:Mantis devouring.jpg Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

- Will do, have had no time for editing in a while. Should be able to do some over the next few days. Thanks for the file idea. --Captain-tucker (talk) 13:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
The number of unfree images is now below 140. I notice that the photo of Rumi museum is now NC and ND...still not quite free enough sadly. As an aside, I would recommend you consider contacting this flickrowner on this 2 photos since he also licenses his work today as cc by sa:
That image of the sports car was passed. Congratulations, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Comment: Since you are away, I reluctantly sent a flickr message to the copyright owner of this image: File:Rumi museum.jpg I have not--and will not--contact the flickr owner of the 2 Wintermelon soup images I mentioned above. With kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- The Rumi museum image has been passed. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:11, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- Since you are away, I asked MGA to contact the flickr owner of the 2 wintermelon images and he has now done so. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:08, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Captain, I've seen that you marked this image as a copyvio and notified to the uploader. However, I've reviewed the source and seems to be OK (CC-BY 2.0). Have I missed anything? Best regards --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 20:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- I just added the copyvionote to the uploader's talk page while reviewing files in Category:Other speedy deletions. I didn't notice that it was the uploader who placed the speedy tag there. I seem to recall looking at the flickr image when reviewing this file and seeing an NC license but as you said the Flickr image is correctly licensed now so all is well, perhaps I am thinking of another image. Good job. Cheers. --Captain-tucker (talk) 13:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
There are no guarantees but if you contact the flickr owner of these 2 photos here and here , he may change the license to something more acceptable.
I notice he allowed this photo to remain on a cc by sa license. BUT ask him too if he wants the 2 images to be deleted from WikiCommons too if he will not change the license...just to clarify the situation and avoid this disaster. Best regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. --Captain-tucker (talk) 18:20, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- Good luck here. --Leoboudv (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
