User:Gary King

[edit]

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!

[edit]

Hello. I've done quite a bit of work with images over here, and know the licenses. I've uploaded a number of photographs from flickr with the correct licenses, and worked on finding copyright violations. Note that this my second request; I blanked my first request after taking a Wikibreak in August; most will know why. However, I've waited for a while and feel it's appropriate to make this request again. Best regards, PeterSymonds (talk) 17:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi,

both Flickr upload bot and Flickr2Commons are barely functional for me, so I want to become reviewer myself. Thank you.--Kozuch (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
Can I request a permission anyways, if I have no time to wait to check whether either bot worked and upload an interesting file myself?--Kozuch (talk) 16:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You can upload even without the permission - just go here. Giggy (talk) 02:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
It's really no problem to upload a Flickr image without reviewer permission. The permission is needed to verify and check the license from the uploaded images. You can upload without the permission. Abigor talk 17:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I haven't been hugely active here, but I feel that this is some place where I can help out. I've been active in moving images from the English Wikipedia to here, so I know which CC licenses are OK, and which ones I need to reject. I know to check for bad licenses and for questionable claims of licenses. So, do you guys trust me to do a little help? NuclearWarfare (talk) 22:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rambo's Revenge

[edit]

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.

Hello!
I would like to participate in Flickr file reviews. I am active on Wikimedia Commons since March 5th 2006. Recently I have over 7000 edits with a total upload of ~850 images, of which some of them are taken from flickr. I am familiar in the usage of Creative Commons licence tags. Moreover I am active on de:wiki where I have about 20000 edits.

Hello, also I am making myself more active on Commons particularly on Flickr checks. I am familiar with copyright issues and I regularly patrol it.wikipedia where I have about 20000 edits made in last two years. Recently I ran for it.wiki adminship loosing the poll for an handful of votes, but recording more than 90 positive feedbacks, mostly for my work against images copyright violations. 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)[reply]

  •  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.

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)[reply]

  •  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)[reply]
  •  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)[reply]

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.

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.

    •  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)[reply]
    •  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)[reply]
    •  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)[reply]

[edit]

Wadester16 (talk · contribs) 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)[reply]

       Comment I don't mind the status anyway, but as far as the "dispute" (which I am doubtful to call it a dispute) is concerned, it was unrelated to the copyright. It was purely the difference of aesthetics/artistic senses between the user and myself. The article was on "conversation" (会話）, and my edit was this. Which do you think is more beautiful and fanciful, using the image of President George Bush Jr. and or a quarreling married couple? The issue here was not even related to a violation of any rights. I hope you vote for the latter. Thank you.--トトト (talk) 23:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made over 1400 edits here, over 4500 on en.wiki, and have rollback rights on both. I have uploaded over 50 photographs (43 from Flickr, 9 from Geograph, and 10 from en.wiki with free licenses) and have never had any of them removed for copyvio. When time permits, I participate in deletion discussions and also nominate images for deletion here and on other projects if I find them suspicious. As to image size checking, I learned that lesson years ago, and always check for maximum resolution, even on Geograph (where there appears to be no specific requirement for that).

I've been around for a while and am very active on Commons if you look at my 3550 contributions after SUL and 9198 edits before SUL. I am very familiar with Commons licensing policies especially such as Flickr licensing, Commons:Freedom of panorama and all permission and confirmation procedures in regard to OTRS with more than 400 uploads. I created Template:PD-South Korea to sort out images that fall under the South Korean copyright policies. Before knowing of flickr2commons and Bryan's Flickr web tools, I had uploaded many images by hand perhaps over 2000 images. I've also moved many images on English and Korean Wikipedia to Commons by hand or using Commonshelper. I also helped out several editors when they had a hard time getting familiar with Commons. I'd like to help out with reviewing Flickr images for those, especially from non-English speaking worlds who have a hard time in uploading images from Flickr or need additional assistance from reviewers.--Caspian blue 15:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I would very much like to expand my contributions on Wikimedia Commons. I am extremely familiar with Flickr licensing, and am very active here on Commons, with nearly 1,000 contributions, and more than 375 uploads. I have a good understanding of evaluating licenses. I also occasionally help out in finding copyright violations. My main reason for feeling the need to apply though is because of the number of times that I myself have uploaded images with free licenses from Flickr, and it will sit there in review for quite awhile before a trusted user gets around to confirming it. So, I would enjoy being able to help those other contributors out there, who upload free images from Flickr. Thank you for this opportunity, I hope you will consider me.

I failed a request for this back in February. Since then I have become a PD reviewer and an en.wiki admin. The reason for trying again so soon is because I stumbled across some image additions on en.wiki which were non-free images uploaded here. I wanted to fail these images but don't have the permissions so decided it was time to try again.

I have uploaded many images on Wikicommons, transferred many more and some Admins know the quality of my work. I think I'm trustworthy enough and yes, I know that only cc by 2.0 and cc by sa images are acceptable for Commons.

[edit]

I see that numerous Seattle Municipal Archive images I uploaded have been marked for Flickr review by a "trusted user". I hadn't realized until now that is a techincal term on Commons and something one must apply for. I certainly am familiar with the general licensing policy of Commons. I would presume that after uploading about 20,000 images (more than half of them my own photos, most of the rest public domain), participating in various category & image deletion discussions, and categorizing several thousand photos by other people I should qualify as trusted, and it really seems a waste of time for someone else to be checking my uploads because I have not been certified as trusted.

I don't do a lot of uploads from Flickr, and I'm not necessarily interested in being heavily involved in reviewing others' uploads from Flickr, but I would like to be able to do these myself without necessitating someone looking over my shoulder.

 Oppose for two reasons. (1) Using one's editing privileges to call a fellow contributor a pest is simply not acceptable, and I cannot endorse bestowing additional trust upon a user stretching the limits of their existing privileges in this way. (2) The way the request is worded, it sounds like your intention is to review only, or at least primarily, your own uploads. In my opinion, reviewer status is mainly intended for reviewing other users' uploads and should ideally not be used for one's own uploads. I know opinions on the appropriateness of self-policing are divided (see, for example, Commons talk:Flickr images/reviewers/archive 6#User:Privatemusings). Suffice it to say, however, that there is no clear consensus in favour of the practice, and that if it is condoned, then it places higher demands on the reviewers' diligence and propensity for record-keeping. Your practice of blanking discussions from your talk page without archiving does not inspire me with confidence in this regard. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:53, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • ad 1) Assume good faith. The pest is a respected function of ice hockey player. But I have removed it to avoid misunderstanding.
  • ad 2)
    • I have not known that there was an order how to organize information on own talk page. This is in conflict with guideline on English wikipedia.
    • I already have one responsible function on Commons. I am approved user for media renames Commons:MediaMoveBot/CheckPage and I use this usefully and with responsibility.
    • I am long term user at Commons since 2005 and I have uploaded over 2000 files.
    • I have even an Flickr account only for tagging images at http://www.flickr.com/photos/31382190@N05/favorites/ , that I am continuously uploading to Commmons (when I or others will determine them).

While I do not have very high standards in general for Flickr review status, I have found Flickr reviewers do sometimes have to engage with editors over Flickr images when complications occur over tagging, licence changes e.t.c., I am not confident Snek01 will do this effectively. Camaron · Christopher · talk 20:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will not communicate with Flickr users. I wanted it, because it is very annoying, when I will upload an file, the one robot will tag it somehow, another robot will tag it in a different away and finally a reviewer will tag it definitely. Especially when these files are on Watchlist to check possible changes. I am sorry if my words touched you. I am not impressed with your intelligence. (Are's these words similar to someones words with not very high standards?) I am afraid you still did not understand the reason. Maybe I will nominate it for the second time in the future. I have learned: I have never uploaded so bad image neither before not since these days. You have written that you are occasionally very busy in your reviewer request. But now you will have much more work with such your voting. You have "Assume good faith" on your talk page. This means: Most people try to help the project, not hurt it. --Snek01 (talk) 22:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand a lot of what you are trying to say; I know you are not a native English speaker and allowances should be made for that given that this is a multilingual project, but I do not think a request for more civility is unreasonable, which underpins everything we do and I think should be satisfied before additional privileges are given out. I do not think my standards are very high as I rarely oppose requests for additional rights, but I will still do it when I think it is justified. I am sorry to hear you are not impressed with my intelligence, but that will not alleviate my concerns, which are not based on the fact you disagreed with me in that deletion request, but the way it was done. As for assuming good faith, yes assuming good faith does mean most people are trying to help the project not hurt it, but the key word here is "trying", just because someone is trying to do something does not mean they are actually doing it, and sometimes editors acting in good faith will do things which will not help the project, or even hurt it, and that is why concerns raised by other editors should be listened to.

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.

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)[reply]

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.

 Support I don't see any major problems with this uploader's work. That DR I filed was just to cover Commons collective hide if anyone had any objections....and no one has objected to it. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to stand as a flickr reviewer. I'm an admin on en.wiki, and have been a wikipedian for about four years. I think I understand the Commons copyright conditions well enough to do this job, I quite often come across files that need reviewing, and it looks like a relatively simple way to help out here that would not detract too much from my other wiki-activities. Gatoclass (talk) 07:24, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts, given it's a photo of a sculpture, it might be considered a derivative work. I confess I'm not quite up to speed when it comes to works of art, and I'd probably need to brush up in that area before I started approving such photos. Gatoclass (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, yeah, it's a derivative work, so unless the work itself is out of copyright, we can't use it. Apologies for the momentary confusion, I've never needed to upload an image of a work of art before so I haven't had to check the appropriate guideline. Gatoclass (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Photo is derivative of sculpture made by Marianne Houtkamp (still copyrighted). But sculpture is located in Netherlands where it's allowed to make derivatives of permanently located artworks and use them for any purpose. So this image is perfectly ok for Commons, actually it is already uploaded at File:Laren Marianne Houtkamp.jpg. You may want to read about freedom of panorama. And don't worry it wasn't an easy question -Justass (talk) 17:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I can see, reading through the Freedom of Panorama page, that things can get quite complicated! I did realize when I made my previous post however, that the Netherlands was largely exempt, but since I wasn't absolutely sure that particular photo was of a Netherlands sculpture, I thought it best not to mention it :) Anyhow, it was a good question that brought my attention to these complications, and of course if I'm in any doubt I can always ask for assistance.

Though my main emphasis is on getting the German Wikipedia up a notch, I am an active member of the Fotowerkstatt fixing mostly technical problem with uploaded images. I think that good pictures are vital for the acceptance of an encyclopeadia and thus would be delighted in helping to access the photographic treasure trove of Flickr.
