Commons:License review/Requests
(Translate) (purge this page's cache)
|
Kindly read Commons:License review and relevant pages such as Flickr files before applying for the right.
To become a reviewer, you need to be familiar with the general licensing policy of Commons and the common practices of reviewing. A reviewer is required to know which Creative Commons licenses are compatible with Wikimedia Commons and which are not, and be dedicated to license reviewing every so often and offer their assistance in clearing the backlogs. Relevant knowledge can be demonstrated by regularly participating in deletion requests or in New Files Patrolling.
Post your request below and be prepared to respond to questions. The community may voice their opinions or ask a few questions to verify your knowledge. A few days later (usually 48 hours), a reviewer or an administrator will determine the possible outcome of the request based on the input received from the community. The closing admin/reviewer will grant the right if there are no objections and add the applicant to the list of reviewers. If permissions are granted, you can add {{User reviewer}} (or one of its variants) to your user page and begin reviewing images.
Click the button to submit your request. Alternatively, copy the code below to the bottom of this page, and only replace "Reason" with the reason you are requesting this user right. Requests will be open for a minimum of two days (48 hours).

Questions by Iwaqarhashmi – How would you answer the following questions?
- How would you determine the copyright status of a work that was created by an anonymous artist in the 18th century and has been passed down through generations without any clear documentation of ownership?
- A user uploads a photo of a painting that they took in a public museum. The painting is over 100 years old and the artist is unknown. Can the user claim copyright over the photo?
- A user creates a painting that is highly derivative of a famous public domain work and uploads it on Commons. How would you assess whether this new work is considered a transformative work or a copyright infringement?
- How would you handle a situation where a user claims to have received permission from the copyright holder to upload a work, but there is no written documentation of this permission?
Thank you for volunteering. Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 19:35, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Questions by Grand-Duc – How would you answer to the following?
- Please tell us what may be circumstantial evidence for a wrongly made licensing or for Commons:License laundering in your eyes. What kind of hints would you expect to spot or would you search for in general? How would you proceed for a Flickr sourced image that raised your suspicion?
