Image problems

Providing a link to a Flickr user's album or photostream, which is what you did, is fairly useless, especially if they have hundreds and even thousands of images, so please provide a unique url for each and every image so they can be reviewed by the Flickrreview bot, after all you were on each image page and could easily have cut and pasted the urls at upload time. Otherwise it forces a human review which takes time and effort for us volunteers and does not always find an image. In fact, if you use the Flickr2commons upload tool (found at https://tools.wmflabs.org/flickr2commons/) everything gets checked for you. Luckily I was able to find all the images, update the information and but please be more careful in future. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 15:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ww2censor: Thank you for the heads-up. I didn't know this tool existed! Best, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:44, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Great, it just make reviewing a little less stressful as searching can be very time consuming especially when I knew from past experience these images would be freely licenced. William Murphy has thousands of images on Flickr and many have already been uploaded here but you found a few new ones. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 15:48, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
