Requests for license reviewer rights
edit(Translate) (purge this page's cache)
|
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 1 day and sections whose most recent comment is older than 5 days. | |

- Reason: I am writing to request permission to review licenses. Having been around for almost two active years now, I believe I have a good grasp of Commons policies on this matter. My involvement in deletion request processes has been more active in the past, I admit, but my knowledge in this area remains strong. For instance, I'd like to mention this deletion request, where I conducted research and was able to conclusively prove that the image was a clear case of copyright violation. Another example is this deletion request, where, through my off-wiki efforts, I was able to ensure that almost 400 high-profile images related to the coronation of King Charles were unequivocally kept. Therefore, I believe I could contribute to the project as a license reviewer. Questions are always welcome if they are needed to clarify any point. Thanks, RodRabelo7 (talk) 04:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: Hello everyone, I'm here to request license reviewer rights. I'm currently a file mover, patroller, and rollbacker on the Commons, and I've made over 18,000 edits (including 4,800+ deleted) so far. Along with that, I've patrolled over 2000 edits and moved over 700 files. I've been keeping an eye on new images and pages for quite some time now, and I've tagged lots and lots of files for deletion. I believe I am knowledgeable enough to review files, and I'd be more than happy to help with the backlog. Regards, Waqar💬 07:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Question Thank you for applying and offering to help more. I see that you do a *lot* of speedy deletion requests, mostly for user photos, and have been asked recently to slow down and assume good faith edits, and it is a bit odd because your only upload is also a user photo. So, my question is: can you provide links to any copyright issues that you have dealt with on Commons, like deletion requests due to bad license. Thank you. // sikander { talk } 🦖 15:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, thanks for the question!

- Support The user has answered and with correct answers, in my opinion it is fine, now let others give their opinion and give their vote. Aurelio Sandoval (Mensajes aquí please) 16:00, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the list. With license reviewer permission these files (no license, no source, TOO) would be dealt with in the same way as DRs, so my question was more related to "knowledgeable enough to review files" and if there are any specific types of license related files in the backlog that you intend to process. Regards. // sikander { talk } 🦖 17:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, I appreciate your clarification. I'd say, if I'm granted the reviewer right, I'd start off in the Category:FLICKR first, focusing on quality over quantity. This would allow me to gain a complete and comprehensive understanding of the different license types, and as I gain more experience, I might explore other categories as well, such as YouTube. I know it's a great responsibility, and I promise to be very careful with it. Thank you. Waqar💬 18:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
