A user that is not an admin can request permission from the community to review images from Flickr on the talk page on this subpage. For more information see Commons:Flickr images. If you are a trusted user you can add {{User trusted}} to your user page.

Instructions for reviewers

  1. Detailed instructions can be found on {{Flickrreview}}.
  2. Images needing your help are in Category:Flickr images needing human review.
  3. Also check the licensing version: {{Cc-by-2.5}} is legally not the same as {{Cc-by-2.0}}.
  4. Consider whether the picture on Flickr was really made by the Flickr user. Many Flickr users have no clue about copyrights, and "freely" license images for which they do not own the copyright! See Commons:Questionable Flickr images.
  5. Consider leaving a thank-you message on the Flickr image page (this requires a Flickr account). You can use the following message template; change the licence to CC-BY if necessary and change "foo.jpg" to the Commons filename or leave off the second sentence if the image is not yet in use.
    Thanks for licensing this image as CC-BY-SA! Your choice of a free license has allowed us to use your image in <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/">Wikimedia Commons</a>. The image is now used to illustrate <a href="http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/CheckUsage.php?i=foo.jpg&w=_100000">one or more pages</a> on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> or other free knowledge projects.
  6. You might copy the source code of this table into your user page and put your username into it. It helps with the copy and paste work, since the date is changed automatically and there are templates for every case of license. If the server forgets to change after midnight UTC, you can use the purge link to refresh.

Alternatively, you may consider adding the following script to your monobook.js file, which will automatically add a flickrreview button at the top of the screen and a copyvio button to the toolbox. Make sure to do a full refresh after changing your monobook:
importScript("User:Patstuart/Flickrreview.js");

Instructions on becoming a reviewer

To become a reviewer one needs to be familiar with the general licensing policy of Commons. A trusted user is required to know which Creative Commons licenses are allowed and disallowed on Wikimedia Commons. Post your request on the talk page, so that the community can voice their opinions. After a few days, a trusted user or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the candidate. If there are not, the user will close the request and add the candidate to the list of trusted users.
