Requests for license reviewer rights

Before requesting, please read Commons:License review and relevant pages such as Flickr files.

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 allowed and disallowed on Wikimedia Commons. You should be dedicated to license reviewing every so often and offer your help in the backlogs. You can demonstrate your knowledge by regularly participating in deletion requests or New Files Patrol.

Post your request below and be prepared to respond to questions. The community may voice their opinions or ask a few questions to verify the applicant's knowledge. After a few days, a reviewer or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the applicant. If there are not, the user will close the request 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). 

=={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}==
{{subst:LRR|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|Reason ~~~~}}

To close a request, please wrap the entire section excluding the section heading with {{Frh}} and {{Frf}}. If the request is successful, please leave this message {{subst:image-reviewerWelcome}}--~~~~ on the applicant's user talk page.

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 3 days and sections whose most recent comment is older than 5 days. For the archive overview, see Commons:License review/Requests/Archive. The latest archive is located at Commons:License review/Requests/Archive/2024.

This is a closed request for license reviewer status. Do not make edits to it.

It's also worth mentioning that I have a lot of free time to deal with the backlog.--海の向こうは敵だ！ 15:03, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose - User has only been here since January of this year, User has also only uploaded 3-4 files in the time they've been here. Whilst their speedys look okay - for me this isn't enough to warrant or grant the tool. Unless you're a sock you don't acquire all sufficient knowledge in 4 months of being here. –Davey2010Talk 15:34, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: Hello, Davey2010. It's true that I've only been active in commons since this year (but I registered a year ago). To be honest, I've uploaded a few files, because I'm not so sure about my photography technology (I don't think it's because I forgot where to shoot them), but I don't think it affects my checking of new files, You can see my editing in UT space, which roughly represents my inspection record. I don't think the number of uploaded files can affect the policies I need to know when checking other people's files. In addition, as a patroller, I often encounter infringing articles on zhwiki and mark them. One of the reasons why I want to be LR is that I want to help commons better. Finally, thank you for your advice! I hope these answers can help you change your mind.--海の向こうは敵だ！ 13:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Personally for LR reviewers I like to see a lot of uploaded files - That too me demonstrates some knowledge in regards to licences/policies etc, My main concern is your tenure and unfortunately I won't be changing my mind - As I said you don't know the ins and outs of Commons all within 4 months. Tenure for me is a major factor here. –Davey2010Talk 13:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: Well... But according to your criteria, I may not be involved in LR, because I don't have any good material to shoot and upload, so I focus on checking other people's files and submitting infringing files many times. I always think that can make up for my shortcomings in upload, but now it seems not. So what should I do? I just want to help with the documents to be checked. It is also worth mentioning that if I fail to apply for LR this time, I will apply to become a patroller. I hope you will give me your advice. Thanks! --海の向こうは敵だ！ 11:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No you've misunderstood me - You haven't uploaded any files from sites such as Flickr, Vimeo or YouTube which would require knowledge as you obviously cannot upload just anything, Uploading from these sites could also prove you have some knowledge inregards to COM:DW too. Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 12:21, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so you mean this... I see. If I don't pass this time, I will do as you say, and then come back to apply. Thank you! --海の向こうは敵だ！ 12:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: Hi, Davey2010.Sorry to trouble you again. I just imported three files from Flickr. They are from LOC. If you can, I hope you can give some suggestions before I continue to upload（ The copyright license is known and will be added in bulk tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.) thank you!--海の向こうは敵だ！ 12:18, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I meant importing images over a consecutive period. –Davey2010Talk 13:23, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: Hello,Davey2010. I have imported 50 pictures from Flickr in a row. What's your opinion? Regards.--海の向こうは敵だ！ 14:31, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion is the same as 2 days ago - Your tenure is problematic as is your low upload count - Uploading files now doesn't mean anything - Knowledge still has be shown which currently it hasn't been for me. I won't be replying further as I feel like I'm repeating myself. –Davey2010Talk 14:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose due to tenure and image issues - User's only been here since January 2020, Also came across this (which may or may not be a copyright violation) and the users talkpage full of DRs (deleted images) doesn't fill me with much confidence either. User shouldn't of been told to come here at all. –Davey2010Talk 19:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: I encourage you to come back with a proper evaluation of their candidacy for license reviewer.
  • "due to tenure and image issues" - Considering they are trusted as a temporary license reviewer and there has yet to be a complaint about a file they have reviewed, you have lost me.
  • "User's only been here since January 2020" - ... that's over a year? it's license reviewer, not adminship.
  • "User shouldn't of been told to come here at all." - Considering their temporary license reviewer expires in two weeks, they were appropriately directed here.
  • "the users talkpage full of DRs (deleted images) doesn't fill me with much confidence either." - Only one file has been nominated for DR since they were granted temporary license reviewer and COM:TOO can be subjective for even experienced users, all the others are back in 2020. Also, their 14 quality image promotions fill me with some confidence.
That said, I have no comment myself. Best of luck, Aurelio de Sandoval. ~riley (talk) 21:30, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This was a proper evaluation and It's rather sad you felt the need to nitpick at every little thing. Anyway I have nothing else to say that hasn't already been said above. Tenure (amongst other things) proves they're potentially more knowledgable, IMHO being here a year is not sufficient enough for me however I don't speak for Commons and just because I don't believe the aforementioned things that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. I appreciate LR isn't Adminship but as I say IMHO for me tenure equals more knowledge. –Davey2010Talk 23:53, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: Was it a proper evaluation? You glanced at his edit count, his account age, and his talk page. The user was given temporary license reviewer permissions for a three month trial period. The entire point of that trial was to give the user a chance to demonstrate if they are competent as a license reviewer. Not only did you fail to acknowledge that the user was in the right place (User shouldn't of been told to come here at all"), you failed to comment on the most relevant thing: their use of license reviewer permissions. Don't make the guy jump through more hoops than he needs to, give him actual feedback on his work. ~riley (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
