When does flickrreview give a false positive? There are hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of flickr contributors who are DoD employees, who don't know squat about copyright, who routinely upload images that must be considered public domain, because they are the work of DoD employees, but give them "all rights reserved" licensing. Flickrreview fails on these. Public domain images from other US Federal agencies can suffer from this issue. |

I encourage you to use {{tl|license review}} on other images like this one, where you can't rely on flickrreview. |

Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump. |

A heads-up
WRT to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Primitive man.png - I would have voiced a {{Keep}} in this DR.
May I bring to your attention {{License review}}? I use it where a {{Flickrreview}} will give a false negative, or on other images which may trigger controversy in the future.
It is supposed to call for a trusted human volunteer to concur that an image is properly licensed as free.
When does flickrreview give a false positive? There are hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of flickr contributors who are DoD employees, who don't know squat about copyright, who routinely upload images that must be considered public domain, because they are the work of DoD employees, but give them "all rights reserved" licensing. Flickrreview fails on these. Public domain images from other US Federal agencies can suffer from this issue.
I encourage you to use {{License review}} on other images like this one, where you can't rely on flickrreview.
