Currently a lot of Flickr images are uploaded to the Commons. As Flickr allows the uploaders to change their licensing at any time, images must be confirmed to have a copyright status acceptable on Commons. Up until November 2006, this was solely the task of administrators. This resulted in a huge backlog of unreviewed images. FlickreviewR is a bot that checks the image status at Flickr, and confirms whether the license on Flickr is one acceptable on the Commons.

Task description
[edit]FlickreviewR's primary task is to scan the images in Category:Flickr review needed. However, since there are a lot of images uploaded in lower quality, its second task is to replace those images with the original version.
Review
[edit]- FlickreviewR first retrieves a list of images from Category:Flickr review needed.
- It then tries to extract the link to the Flickr image from the description.
- Then the exif data is extracted from the database and compared with the exif data from Flickr.
- If those do not match, or a higher resolution of the file on Commons is available from Flickr, the image of corresponding size is downloaded from Flickr and their MD5 sums are matched.
- If the images on Commons and Flickr match, the license status is reviewed and the result posted to Commons.
- If the images on Commons and Flickr match and the license is compatible with Commons and a higher resolution of the file on Commons is available from Flickr, the high resolution version is uploaded.
- Images that were unreviewable are categorized into Category:Flickr images needing human review.
Return values
[edit]The bot can return the following values and indicates them as such in the log:
- Passed: The image on Flickr and the Commons are the same, as well as the license.
- Failed: The image on Flickr and the Commons are the same, however the licenses are not, and the license on Flickr is not allowed on the Commons.
- Passed_Changed: The image on Flickr and the Commons are the same, however the licenses are not, but the license on Flickr is allowed on the Commons.
- Md5_Not_Matching: The MD5 comparison failed.
- Size_Not_Found: No exif comparison was possible or failed, and the image is not available in the same size on Flickr.
- No_Flickr_Link: A link to the correct Flickr page is absent on the image description page.
- Flickr_Not_Found: The image was no longer available or private.
Old return values
[edit]Older reviews may also return the following values. In the database they are converted to Exif_Error or Error.
- NOT_CC_TAGGED: No Creative Commons license could be found on the image description page
- UNKNOWN_LICENSE: The image on Flickr is tagged with an unrecognizable license
- NO_EXIF: The Commons does not have any EXIF information regarding the image
