• Images in Category:Files from 51149373@N08 Flickr stream are likely own work since they are quite consistent and show images of mostly snow and ice from Robin Kuusela from Handen, Sweden

• Images in Category:Files from 66814958@N04 Flickr stream are clearly own work by Eduardo Pereira His low resolution photos were taken by a Nikon D70s camera while his high resolution images here preserve metadata that name him as the photographer: File:Lisbon, Tagus river, fog, mist, sea,golden hour, light, sun, sunset, bridge (50706209197).jpg & File:Ctraia sardinheira de Esposende Santa Maria dos Anjos (50705376508).jpg

• The 15 images are fine to review in Category:Files from 185802208@N07 Flickr stream since the source flickr account WORT NEWS says "We have no staff photographer, but our news staff updates photographs here. Photos are free for use, with attribution" Today their images are ARR but not in the past.

• The 31 images in Category:Files from 145321515@N04 Flickr stream are consistent and show buildings and churches in Belarus from the flickr account of Kraina Belarus It looks OK to review.

Great work! --MGA73 (talk) 20:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

• These images in Category:Files from 61981636@N06 Flickr stream are certainly own work by Mauro Rubem who (google translate says from his flickr profile) is a "Former State Deputy, dental surgeon, public health specialist and trade unionist. He is a member of the Workers' Party and president of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores de Goiás. He was a councilor in Goiânia, Brazil and elected state deputy three times." All his images were taken by a Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi camera and some images like the one below are watermarked with his own name:
• File:Marcha das Vadias - 52º CONUNE (5952265443).jpg

• Also, these 20 images in Category:Files from 152442938@N03 Flickr stream are almost most likely own work by svklimkn Some images were likely scanned and have no metadata but when there is a camera metadata, they name the author SVKLIMKIN like these 2 images below:
• File:Column (35842838435).jpg & File:Wagtail (35179276363).jpg

• The 39 images in Category:Files from 146272349@N06 Flickr stream are by David Schnell I saw David Schnell's recent photostream and he has some freely licensed images "from wikipedia" and "Roger Puta" both from wikiCommons but these 39 images were said to be taken by David Schnell. I also ordered a new review on one of the images below and the flickrbot passed it here: File:Caboose IMG 20210801 170033.jpg which means the account is not blacklisted at present.

• These images in Category:Files from 192105714@N06 Flickr stream come from a now deleted flickr account named shashin micro 43 in Japan but this appears to be certainly legitimate work. Internet Wayback did archive this account so it existed. There are 2 cameras used, both Panasonic models and most were taken by a Panasonic DMC-G7 camera. It is most likely own work from the consistency of the photos. At least they are high resolution images.

• The many images in Category:Files from 186544682@N04 Flickr stream are clearly own work by Justin J. Kiecker who says "I'm a writer in german language (still working on to improve my skills in English). Beside that I'm activist and amateur photographer. I like to share my pictures of events and protests on this account." His images are full of protests.

• Also, the images in Category:Files from 189514336@N02 Flickr stream come from the flickr account of Periodico 26 Las Tunas or the Las Tunas newspaper. The images are quite consistent and the uploader A1Cafel is quite trustworthy here. He uploaded all the images as in this case: File:Nuevasmedidas2 (50169439678).jpg

• The 34 images in Category:Files from 171425013@N02 Flickr stream are OK to review. They come from the flickr account of GeorgeTan # 2...thanks for millionth support who says "1) 1) All my photos are free to download and used in any environment, whether for fun or commercial. No credit or permission is needed. No strings attached!"

• The images in Category:Files from 61591234@N05 Flickr stream were taken with either a HTC PC36100 or a Canon EX-Z750 camera by Dave Hass57 This person stopped uploading pictures to flickr after April 2018 but the photos are still licensed freely. The images are consistently of cars and are likely own work.

• The images in Category:Files from 151176364@N02 Flickr stream are from the flickr account of Erk40 and were taken by a ZTE BLADE V7 LITE camera. From the consistency of the photos, they are likely own work. I also ordered a new review of one of the image and the flickrbot passed the image: File:TMB 1325 (32067273010).jpg

• The 21 images in Category:Files from 152667998@N02 Flickr stream belong to Phil Photos who is, in fact, Phil Weiser, the Attorney General of Colorado. He is a major politician and would have many people working for him.

Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:49, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I will have a look. If you click this link you can see who uploaded the files. It might be worth passing all uploads by the trusted users as you suggested earlier. --MGA73 (talk) 06:22, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: Here is another set of Category:Files from 158350039@N03 Flickr stream that is likely own work by K Bahr In the cosmic photos, he says he took them from his backyard. In his flickr profile, he implies that he suffered a stroke I think and cannot move far anymore. As for your suggestions about the uploader, this is a tricky question. Some uploaders such as Sentinel user have been banned or blocked for sockpuppetry or abusive comments but the images they uploaded are actually legitimate. Life is complicated. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• Please pass these images in Category:Files from 158350039@N03 Flickr stream for the reasons I gave in the above paragraph about K Bahr.

• Secondly, the images in Category:Files from 63526116@N03 Flickr stream are PDM from 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment "The Old Guard" and most could even be PD-USA Army. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• This is an interesting case of 35 images Vietnamese images in Category:Files from 157616565@N07 Flickr stream Vietnam stopped having FOP for modern architecture and bridges on January 1, 2023 from this NOTICE but the images were all uploaded before this date in 2022 or 2021. A1Cafel and another Vietnamese user named Đại Việt quốc (now a banned sockpuppett] uploaded most of the images such as the case here: File:Landmark81 (49686971371).png. The images are clearly own work by Coung Tran who used a FUJIFILM X-T20 camera.

• Also the images in Category:Files from 193573697@N05 Flickr stream appear to be own work in India by Ranjan Mistry Only 2 main cameras are used for the high resolution images: a Canon EOS R8 and Nikon D5600 camera. I ordered a new review for File:Ranjan Mistry with Sanjay Chakravarti.jpg from this set of images and the flickrbot passed it.

• The images in Category:Files from 159426554@N07 Flickr stream are likely own work by jerry791251. When there is some camera metadata, the camera used is always a Nikon D750 like this image: File:Kogoro Mouri and Hanzawa-san cosplayers standing 20230430a.jpg and this one File:Tsukimiya Sakura as Watson Amelia sitting without coat, front view 20230430a.jpg

The 50 images in Category:Files from 186395973@N06 Flickr stream are OK to review from the Architecture of Dublin I ordered a new review on File:Drumcondra House (2023).jpg and the flickrbot passed the image here: File:Drumcondra House (2023).jpg

• These images in Category:Files from 187202700@N02 Flickr stream are likely own work by papasdescerebradas in Uruquay or South America. While there is no camera metadata, the images are low to medium resolution consistently. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 11:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• These 20 images in Category:Files from 158934835@N04 Flickr stream are most likely own work since they come from Mark Steele who says he is an outdoor photographer. Most images were taken with a Pentax K10D camera but when he uses a different camera like a Canon EOS REBEL T3i camera, he says so here: File:Summer Berries (Explore) - Flickr - mrksteele04.jpg in the image description and the metadata says it is a Canon EOS REBEL T3i camera.

PS: Most of the other images come from flickr accounts with 2, 3, 5 or 7 images. If you have time, please feel free to pass those which are clearly own work. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

^re Yeah no more big accounts. I think when the categories in Category:Flickr public domain images needing human review - pending bot review are fixed we should scan the category for copyvios and then ask the Flickrreview bot to do new reviews. Then the bot will either review or if the flickr user is bad it will mark them. --MGA73 (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. There are now 4868 images in the category needing review...as long as Ooligan does not upload any new PDM images as cc0.

• As for images in Category:Files from 48243591@N03 Flickr stream, they are almost certainly own work since they show the same person and use the same Nikon D700 camera. The uploader is also Koavf who has many right on wikicommons.

• The 34 images in Category:Files from 91886263@N03 Flickr stream from the account of Алексей Трефилов, they can also be passed since they are rather consistent and show architecture and landscapes in Russia. I ordered a new review one one of his images here: File:Государственный банк (16845327107).jpg and the flickrbot passed it. So the account is OK.

• Please pass these 19 images in Category:Files from 190270151@N02 Flickr stream from the flickr account of GT#3 or George Tan in Singapore. This must be his other flickr account. As I said, he says in his flickr profile: "All my photos are free to download and used in any environment, whether for fun or commercial. No credit or permission is needed." In this image: File:Bloody windows - Flickr - One or Two pictures a day.jpg the camera metadata is preserved and it says the author is George Tan and the picture is Public Domain.

• The images in Category:Files from 150942662@N02 Flickr stream from the flickr account of Lodz Design have 6955 images and therefore share several different camera models. They obviously are a large company and employ several different photographers. But, I personally think this account is OK since this category could be replaced with Category:Łódź Design Festival which was created long ago in 2014. To be certain, I also ordered a new review of one of the images in your Flickr stream category here: File:ŁDF2022 Fot. Marta Strzelczyk.jpg and the flickrbot passed it.

• These images in Category:Files from 198721648@N02 Flickr stream consistently show images in East Africa and appear to be own work by Omar Abdulkadir Same image quality.

• The 29 images in Category:Files from 145874413@N08 Flickr stream were uploaded by banned sockpuppet User:English Roger but the images are legitimate...though not great quality from the flickr account of Fairy Duff] who licenses his/her images as ARR today. I did order a new review on one of the images here: File:Two windmills (31511591614).jpg and the flickrbot passed it.

• The images in Category:Files from 95929490@N06 Flickr stream are all PD today. They depict paintings by Perugino (16th century), Renoir who died in 1919, Umberton Boccioni who died in 1916, etc from the flickr account of Art Gallery ErgsArt - by ErgSap. The Sweat of the Brow doctrine or reproduction of works now in the public domain do not carry copyright (unless the work is totally original which is not the case here) in the USA, UK or EU. So, the images can all be passed by your bot.

• The images in Category:Files from 125103679@N05 Flickr stream can be passed since they all use the same Nikon D5 camera. They come from the account of 劉雙語 The uploader, Solomon203, seems reliable in my opinion. He uploaded some images that were not reviewed by flickr in time before they were deleted on flickr but I restored the flickrlink with the Wayback machine in some cases and the license and image was always right. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• Images in Category:Files from 30533017@N00 Flickr stream can be passed from the account of patricia m Why? The images are mostly generic and secondly, the cards apparently come from a 1912 card book here: File:Construc rurales p1 - Flickr - pilllpat (agence eureka).jpg The flickr account owner has other modern derivative images on her photostream but it is correctly licensed as ARR such as this image from my brief examination.

• This large batch of 27 images in Category:Files from 29488979@N06 Flickr stream can be passed from the account of Ian Livesey. It is clearly Ian's work and in one or two images he says the image is PD such as File:Sizergh Castle Red ladder (34355592780).jpg and in File:WCAS - Heads (30827612708).jpg the camera metadata identifies the photographer as Ian Livesy.

• Please pass these 10 images in Category:Files from 165319344@N08 Flickr stream from the flickr account of Jeff Hollett who even lists his functional WikiCommons account in his flickr profile.

Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: The images in Category:Files from 195487244@N07 Flickr stream come from the flickr account of Derek Sloan who is a Canadian politician and head of the Ontario Party. He did not take pictures of himself but could have hired aphotographer to take the photos of himself and his family. Here is his wikipedia article: Derek Sloan You can decide to pass or not pass the images here. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:20, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Leoboudv! I just had my bot put the new uploads in categories by flickr user. Once the categories in Category:Flickr public domain images needing human review - pending bot review are checked I suggest that you scan for possibly bad files. If you find some you can either nominate them for deletion or put the categories in Category:Flickr public domain images needing human review - pending bot review - not ok. If in doubt just park them in the "not okay"-category for later check. Once you think the most likely copyvios are nominated for deletion or parked in the "not ok"-category I can ask the Flickrreview bot to do a new review of all the files and have it skip the files in the "not ok"-category. --MGA73 (talk) 12:56, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I looked at the files in Category:Files from 50256734@N05 Flickr stream. I nominated some for deletion and passed a few other photos (see Category:Files from Mike Lidgley Flickr stream). --MGA73 (talk) 19:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I also checked a few photos from Category:Files from 93850985@N02 Flickr stream and besides the files you noticed by "Bridget Nelson" I also noticed that some files like File:Bishops Herzog and Bena - Holy Trinity Syracuse.jpg says "Raymond's Photography". --MGA73 (talk) 19:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: Thanks for the tips. Please don't forget to pass the images by Jeff Hollett in Category:Files from 165319344@N08 Flickr stream I will try to mark a few. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:48, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• Also the 33 images in Category:Files from 58993040@N07 Flickr stream are PD can be passed by your bot as uploads from the US Embassy in Ukraine. Another recent Ooligan upload! Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• The 7 images in Category:Files from 76102799@N07 Flickr stream from the account US Embassy Ghana are PD and can be passed. Another Ooligan upload. I told Ooligan to license PDM images as PDM and not cc0 but he does not listen.

• The 10 personal images in Category:Files from 191860194@N02 Flickr stream can all be passed from the account of Rafael Barreto One of his images here also has a watermark with his name. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• These 11 images in Category:Files from 149556095@N03 Flickr stream all appear to be own work with a Panasonic or Samsung camera (when there is one) from the account of marcostetter

• The 8 images in Category:Files from 191223857@N04 Flickr stream are quite consistent and are most likely own work from Winehouse Aesthetics

• The 5 images in Category:Files from 8511671@N05 Flickr stream are own work from British Columbia, Canada from the account of S Sauma The images are very consistent and is in the province where I am.

• The 4 images in Category:Files from 94531530@N00 Flickr stream are OK to pass from the account of Granger Meador

• These 6 images in Category:Files from 115281417@N03 Flickr stream are from IBM España and can be passed.

• These images in Category:Files from 156600205@N06 Flickr stream are PD since they are licensed from the flickr account of the Ohio Attorney General

• The 6 images in Category:Files from 65659850@N03 Flickr stream belong to the flickr author Noah Riffe and can be passed. Some of the images even have camera metadata naming him such as File:Bryce Jordan Center Wrestling.jpg

• The 3 images in Category:Files from 61972246@N08 Flickr stream are PD since they come from USEmbassyMEX Us Embassy in Mexico.

• The 3 images in Category:Files from 60564189@N06 Flickr stream are PD since they come from the flickr account of the Arlington National Cemetary

• The 7 images in Category:Files from 136665246@N05 Flickr stream are quite consistent with images in Russia from the flickr account of Dmitriy Protsenko and can be passed. While the flickr account owner has about 3 different cameras which is not suspicious as people change cameras over time. This image even names the flickr account owner in the camera metadata: File:Sunny february noon - Flickr - Staropramen1969.jpg

• ALL 9 images in Category:Files from 65450330@N08 Flickr stream are certainly own work from Nova Scotia, Canada since they were taken with a Canon EOS REBEL T3 camera from the account of Brad Penney

• All 9 images in Category:Files from 93327322@N03 Flickr stream should both be passed and also recategorized with Category:Files from Ayuntamiento Roquetas de Mar Flickr stream since they come from the flickr account of Ayuntamiento Roquetas de Mar in Almeria, Spain.

• The 16 images in Category:Files from 134234212@N02 Flickr stream are OK to pass from the account of Efra Tzuc Many of her images such as File:ClimateStrike (48772576841).jpg even have her name in the camera metadata.

• The 21 images in Category:Files from 131821741@N08 Flickr stream are likely OK to pass from the account of 上島町 観光写真提供サービス in Japan. The pictures are all consistent in quality.

• The 7 images in Category:Files from 57764574@N03 Flickr stream are quite consistent and come from a Nexus and a Canon camera. It is likely own work from TJH1976 and can be passed.

• Also the 14 images in Category:Files from 27842329@N08 Flickr stream can also be passed from the flickr account of *nylon_lover* The composition is mostly the same with the man showing his private body part.

• The 15 images in Category:Files from 141488926@N04 Flickr stream can likely be passed since they come from the account of jordan tavares/Ecureuillographe who says he likes to take black and white and colour photos. That is why the images look inconsistent but they are likely own work.

• The 18 images in Category:Files from 63463750@N02 Flickr stream can all be passed since they come from a Hungarian photographer's account named Noval Goya This person sometimes puts watermarks on his Hungarian images too like this File:Liberty bridge, Budapest (23104966183).png

•  Comment: I filed a DR or copyvio AGAINST ALL the images in Category:Files from 191592931@N02 Flickr stream They are likely not own work. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: I filed a DR on all images in Category:Files from 165445115@N07 Flickr stream which come from the flickr account of Daniel Molybdenum who says the images are not likely to be his work. They are too high quality space images to be own work too. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: I suggest you file a MASS DR on all images in Category:Files from 195676523@N06 Flickr stream from Ronald Furet as the flickr account owner says the images are from Tiempo Zero, Natalia Garcia, www.discogs.com, Diego "Cohete" Rivas, etc, etc. I doubt this Flyer image is own work too. This is a flickrwashing account and I request that you add it to a blacklist ASAP. Thanks, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:01, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• I may be away to rest as I am really tired especially after dealing with the Ronald Furet flickrwashing account but I believe most PDM flickr accounts have 1, 2 or 3 images and are very hard to review except by hand. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes sadly it takes time to review the smaller accounts. I think if there are less than 10 files in a category it might be just as fast to review manually.

I think that once the big categories are reviewed (and the most likely copyvios are marked for deletion) we should ask the Flickrreview bot to review the rest.

And it looks like a very nice area :-) --MGA73 (talk) 18:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

*Just 8 comments:

• The 7 images in Category:Files from 137439059@N04 Flickr stream are likely own work since they were all taken by a Nikon D3300 camera and share similiar quality and composition. They are from the flickr account of Jesus GR/Job I

• Secondly, the images in Category:Files from 75626679@N07 Flickr stream should be passed and retagged with Category:Files from Gobierno de Guatemala Flickr stream since they come from the flickr account of Gobierno de Guatemala Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Thirdly, the many images in Category:Files from 51500028@N08 Flickr stream were taken by a Sony ILCE-6000 camera at the same time and likely by andrew.bedwin the flickr account owner. They should be passed.

Fourthly, these mostly low quality images in Category:Files from 126816719@N03 Flickr stream are likely own work by Jon Brinn who stopped uploading pictures to his flickr account in 2018. He takes color and black and white photos as this shows. I think they should be passed.

Fifthly, all these mostly low quality images in Category:Files from 68107928@N08 Flickr stream are own work by gareth patterson They were all taken by a Nikon D3100 camera and should be passed. This flickr user has taken black and white photos in his flickr photostream.

Sixthly, the images in Category:Files from 23408922@N07 Flickr stream are almost certainly own work by Pete who even says in his flickr profile: "Unless my photos are 'all rights reserved' (of which I've got very few) then I don't mind if you don't credit me when you use it, PROVIDING you either Flickrmail me or leave a comment to say where it is that it's been used." This implies that he is OK with the use of his freely licensed images and know copyright. Finally, I ordered a review on one of his images here: File:Blue Skies (29803486328).jpg and the flickrbot passed it. His images should be passed.

Seventh, the 9 images in Category:Files from 120757847@N06 Flickr stream must be own work and should be passed since they show the same high image quality and subject composition and were all taken by a Canon EOS 5D Mark II or III or Canon EOS R6 camera. The flickr account owner has now deleted the images but they were reviewed as PDM by the flickr review bot.

• Finally, the 8 images in Category:Files from 131176253@N05 Flickr stream are all from Portugal and while they use a Panasonic and Nikon camera and a single Kodak camera for the oldest 2004 image, I believe they are all own work by John O'Beirne since they focus on nature, the beach and sea. (all the same general objects) They likely can be passed since the single uploader Tm knows copyright. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: The 2024 images in Category:Files from 61432045@N04 Flickr stream like this were taken by a Canon Powershot camera and the 2022 uploaded photos were taken by a Xiaomi camera like this from the account of Jaime Pereira The images are consistent, appear to be own work and should be passed, I think. --Leoboudv (talk) 07:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: The images in Category:Files from 29583810@N08 Flickr stream are almost certainly own work by les brown from Canada as the camera bears his name here as does the flickr link for his images as in this example here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/les_brown/29140423055/ The images should be passed. --Leoboudv (talk) 10:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment: I notice the images in Category:Files from 130241850@N07 Flickr stream and Category:Files from 126224311@N07 Flickr stream use the same Nikon and Sony cameras respectively. This cannot be a coincidence and images appear consistent. But its your decision to pass them or not. --Leoboudv (talk) 11:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Leoboudv: I created a few new categories so there are now 18 categories to check. So we can soon do a mass request to the bot to check the files. --MGA73 (talk) 14:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
