Instructions for reviewers

The following instructions are only for administrators and community approved reviewers. If you are neither of those, you only have to tag the image {{flickrreview}}.

Français :Les instructions qui vont suivre ne s'appliquent qu'aux administrateurs et aux critques des dessin. Si vous n'êtez pas dans ce cas, utilisez simplement le modèle {{flickrreview}}.

1. The image is initially in Category:Flickr review needed.
2. If the image is currently available on Flickr under the same license as on the Commons, modify the review template to {{flickrreview|YourUsername|Date}}. This places it in Category:Admin reviewed Flickr images.
3. If the image is currently available on Flickr under a license which is allowed on the Commons, but the license on Commons is not the same (such as an older version of the same license), update the license tag on the Commons image to match the Flickr one and modify the review template to {{flickrreview|YourUsername|Date|changed=license}}. This places it in Category:Admin reviewed Flickr images.
4. If the licence is allowed on the Commons, сheck if the author is properly attributed.
5. If the image is currently available on Flickr with a license which is not acceptable on Commons, do not update the license tag. Instead modify the review tag to {{flickrreview|YourUsername|Date|CurrentFlickrLicense}}. This places it in Category:Possibly unfree Flickr images.
6. Please leave a comment on the photo, such as "Thanks for licensing this CC-BY! Your choice of a free license has allowed us to use your image in Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/ )." to confirm that the photographer did not make a mistake in their license selection and to encourage them to join our community.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Possibly unfree Flickr images or Category:Admin reviewed Flickr images
