editThe image Image:Tito Larriva 2007.jpg is not a copyvio. It was uplaoded by the photog. I'm working with him to clean-up the image. Evrik 13:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK but they really need to change the license on the flickr page to a free one. Polly 16:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Umm, no. The pictures were posted to wikipedia under the free license. Evrik 20:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- But then you have conflicting licenses and the Flickr license precedes the Wikipedia one. Polly 21:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Could you please document where it says that in the commons policies? Thanks. Evrik 14:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- No idea, but how do you know the en.Wikipedia uploader is the Flickr uploader? the en. uploader might just have taken the Flickr image and uploaded it as their own. Now if they can change the licensing on the Flickr page that would prove both uploaders are the same person. It may not be Commons policy but it is common sense. Polly 20:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- Well, you could ask the en user ... I did. I know from correspondence that they are the same. However, if you can't quote a policy, I don't know why we're debating it ... Evrik 19:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see how correspondence can prove they are the same but them changing the Flickr licensing would do so. So I wonder why they won't or maybe can't change the licensing. Polly 14:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Next time...
editNext time you come across a problem uploader with a ton of copyvios of that kind, will you please be so kind as to fold them into a mass deletion request for us? It makes closing the DRs much simpler. Not a criticism, just a suggestion that'd make my life easier. Thx. :D Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 08:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
