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: Hello! I mainly check copyrights and licenses on the latest files, and also act as a patroller, filemover and rolbakcer. I think I can help as a license reviewer. I have the knowledge of relevant policies and guidelines. Thanks. --Turkmen ^talk 12:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose, merhaba türkmen. i checked your uploads firstly. but i see there is buildings that photographed in azerbaijan in your uploads, for example; this file. as Commons:Freedom_of_panorama/Asia#Azerbaijan states, you cannot upload these works to commons(if im wrong, please tell me). but... you are sysop in many places. i believe you would do well in the future. now, i suggest you to nominate these images for deletion and later apply here. thank you. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 16:50, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
  • @Modern primat: , what was the purpose of adding that diff pertaining to your indefinite block from az-wiki? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    i just know him from az wiki and also it indicates that he is sysop from another wiki. i hope he will do better in the future. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 17:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    also, how about uploads by him? i believe files should be deleted. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 17:07, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    It seems to be a mix of icon work and uploads, I'm still working through the last 50 or so, and will add an update when done. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    @Modern primat, Yep, those photos of the tank should be deleted due to FOP, Do you want to file the DR? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    no, turkmen should select files that should be deleted. lets give the chance of handling these files to him. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 17:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    Good idea, that works for me. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:35, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

    @Alachuckthebuck, @Modern primat hi! I don't think the tank photos should be deleted. Because according to the panorama law of Azerbaijan (Article 20), if there is a "main object" in the photo, then the freedom of panorama is violated. There are many objects in those photos and the "main object" is unknown. Also I looked at the files that are very old and I think I will open a discussion soon about the files that may be problematic. You can also add the files you find problematic to that discussion and we can decide together there. @Modern primat, you also shared this link from azwiki in another discussion about me in the Meta. What is the reason for this? Turkmen ^talk 06:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

 Question(s) By Alachuckthebuck Hello Turkmen, thank you for volunteering to become an LR, how would you respond to the following scenarios:

• User:BIG GYM ENERGY, uploads a complicated logo with a promotional summary, but before it can be tagged, {{VRT pending}} is added to the file page by a VRT member.
• A photo is uploaded of a model in front of the Eiffel tower at night, with a Facebook post as the source, and the license: "Given to me by the model via DM".
• A reaction video marked CC-BY-SA on YouTube, with uncited sources.
• Image from flicker that was moved to commons using upload wizard and tagged as AI generated (on commons, not on flickr)

All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@Alachuckthebuck hi! :)

• It can be waited until the response from VRT is received. Also, if the uploader does not respond to the email, the template is replaced after 30 days from the date of installation, and after some time the file is deleted because it does not have sufficient permissions.
• This person may have their own claim. The permit must be approved by the VRT.
• You need to see the video's upload date to YouTube. Because the material used can also be protected by copyright. But if there are unreferenced sources, I think it would be best to avoid uploading it.
• If the file is taken from an album website such as Flickr, it must be uploaded according to the appropriate license there. If it does not match the license there, it should be deleted.
