Flickr2Commons (new oauth) is a tool written by Magnus Manske to easily upload single and multiple files from Flickr to Commons. If you have any questions you can ask for help at Commons:Batch uploading. Wikimedia Commons is different than Flickr and only hosts images with educational value, e.g., it does not accept holiday photographs, for more information see what Commons is not.

Licenses

En Flickr, se pueden buscar imágenes con el filtro "Usos comerciales y modificaciones permitidas". Se pueden subir las imágenes desde Flickr que están disponibles bajo alguna de las siguientes licencias: Atribución Atribución - Compartir Igual Dedicación al Dominio Público o CC0 (CC0) Marca o Etiqueta del Dominio Público, pero se requiere que añadas la correspondiente etiqueta de dominio público a la página del archivo, por ejemplo {{PD-US-expired}} o {{PD-Portugal-URAA}}. Si no sabes qué tipo de etiqueta del dominio público aplica para la imagen, no la subas. Para cambiar la licencia en una imagen, en un grupo de imágenes o en todas las imágenes en cuenta de Flickr por favor lea las siguientes instrucciones aquí (en inglés). También se puede configurar una licencia por defecto para todas las contribuciones. Advertencia: No se puede utilizar Flickr2Commmons para subir imágenes que utilizan una licencia con la cláusula no comercial o sin obras derivadas. Advertencia: Algunas cuentas de Flickr postean inapropiadamente bajo una licencia libre contenido de otras personas que está bajo copyright; para más información ver Commons:Imágenes cuestionables de Flickr y {{Flickrvionote}}.

Uploading images

Paso 1: Autorizar OAuth Primero, debe autorizar OAuth (un componente de software que sube imágenes con tu cuenta) antes de utilizar Flickr2Commons. Logueate con tu cuenta de Wikimedia. Dale click al link en la parte superior de la herramienta Flickr2Commons para autorizar OAuth. Debes seguir este paso cada vez que quieras subir imágenes utilizando Flickr2Commons.

Paso 2: Elegir qué imágenes subir Se puede elegir qué imágenes subir utilizando Flickr2Commons en una de las siguientes maneras. Todas las fotos elegibles de un usuario de Flickr Se pueden subir todas las imágenes de un usuario copiando y pegando el nombre de usuario o NSID en el campo Flickr user ID or name; para encontrar el NSID de un usuario se puede utilizar la herramienta idGettr. Si el objetivo es importar un gran número de imágenes de una cuenta de Flickr, puede ser útil subirlas como una serie de fotos: esto reducirá el riesgo de perder una gran cantidad de trabajo si el navegador se detiene. Un grupo de imágenes Se pueden subir todas las imǵenes elegibles copiando y pegando el número de ID de un grupo de fotos en el campo Flickr photoset ID; para encontrar el ID de un grupo de imágenes, hay que mirar la URL en la barra de direcciones, copiar la secuencia de números en la URL que sigue después de la palabra albums/ cuando se está en la página web de ese álbum. A single photo To upload a single photo, copy the photo ID into the single Flickr photo ID field by copying the last string of numbers in the URL when you are on a webpage for a photo. Note: Alternatively you can use the Flickr Upload Wizard to upload a single file.

Step 3: Run the Flickr2Commons image finder The next step is to click Run; if you have entered the information correctly and there are images available under a compatible licence they will appear in the tool. By default the tool will only show images not already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

---

Step 4: Name files Make sure the file name is descriptive; names of images uploaded on Flickr can often be just a series of numbers, but Wikimedia Commons prefers some kind of descriptive name. For a series of images of one subject you can do this by adding a name prefix, so 12345.jpg becomes House of Commons 12345.jpg. If the images already have descriptive names with a string of numbers in brackets after them, these are perfectly acceptable to leave as they are. Wikimedia Commons does not accept file names with special characters e.g @, /, \, or *, so please remove these: otherwise the upload will fail. Brackets (()[]) are accepted characters.

---

Step 5: Add descriptions Every image uploaded to Wikimedia Commons needs a description to help people to understand the image. Often images on Flickr will have an existing description which will appear just below the categories box under each image, you can simply copy and paste this description into the description box.

---

Step 6: Add categories All files on Wikimedia Commons need categories, which help group photos by their subject and also by who created them, e.g. all images produced by UNESCO are in Category:Photographs produced by UNESCO. Having a category for the organisation that produced the images helps to keep them organised but also allows you to measure where they are used on Wikimedia projects and how many times they were seen. If you're creating a category for your organisation a common format to use is Category:Images from NAMEOFORGANISATION . Also please make sure the category you upload to is not already in use for another purpose, e.g. for another organisation with the same name. To find which categories are already available: Search on Wikimedia Commons for the subject you want; Chose an image that relates to that subject; Scroll down to the bottom of that page to see which categories that image is in and copy one or more of them. Its important to check for existing categories because of differences in language around the world, e.g. US/UK spelling differences. You can add categories to images by adding them individually to each images; make sure to use this formatting when adding a category to an image [[Category:NAMEOFCATEGORY]]. You can also add a category to all the images you want to upload by clicking the Add category just under Append everywhere (categories etc.) near the top of the page and pasting in the name of the category. You can also use the Auto-detect categories button at the top of the page, although this often gives unexpected results.

Step 7: Import Once you have checked your work you can upload the images to Wikimedia Commons: to do this click Transfer selected files to Commons. Tip: Make sure you don't press the other blue button labelled Run again, as this will wipe out all your work.

---

Step 8: Let the upload run Uploading files is not instantaneous; it takes time. As the files upload they will get a blue window around them. Once a file has been uploaded the window will turn green for success, or red if there was a problem and the file couldn't be uploaded.

---

Step 9: Check the uploads Once you have uploaded the images please check through them; the easiest way to do this is to look at your uploaded file list, which can be reached by clicking the Uploads button in the top right hand corner of any Wikimedia Commons page (when you are logged in).

Using the images on Wikimedia projects

You can use the images you have uploaded on other Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia: find out how to get started here. If you have uploaded a lot of images from an organisation, or on a specific subject, you could contact a relevant WikiProject or your local Wikimedia chapter or group who may be interested in helping get the images used on Wikimedia projects.

Measuring reach

If you would like to see where images you have uploaded are used on Wikimedia projects and how many times they are seen you can use the GLAMorgan tool to run queries. If you want to measure the reach of images from an institution with a large number of images on Wikimedia Commons you can also request that your institution be added to BaGLAMa 2 which will provide you with a monthly report.

FAQ

"Flinfo says 'bad user'."

This error message means the account whose photographs you plan to upload is blacklisted. Accounts are blacklisted because of copyright infringement, usually in the form of licence laundering. User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors is the complete blacklist. Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users is an incomplete table of rationales behind each entry. To find a numeric Flickr ID, you may use idGettr. If you feel that a blacklist is unjustified or have any questions, please leave a message at Commons:Village pump. A blacklist is not a ban on the account owner's works. For example, if a photo is indeed taken by the account owner and released under a compatible licence, it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and reviewed by trusted users.
