Dear Michael,
I was able to register to use a free version of Adobe Photoshop and increase the clarity and sharpness of the original source image. Unfortunately, since the original image is so out of focus, the result is a noticeable but still slight improvement...but I would not wish to use it in this king's wikipedia article. I had my first original derivative image deleted as its quality was much worse than this new derivative image. The British Museum rarely places this object on museum exhibitions and often the exhibition places contrasting light sources over it....making it difficult to take a clear in focus image. Such is life---as the French say. Unfortunately if an image is too out of focus, all the AI and Adobe Photoshop software may not remedy the situation.

- Dear Leoboudv! It's a shame the original was so bad. The edit is an improvement but it is still a bit unfocused. If only museums made it easier to take photos :-) --MGA73 (talk) 07:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Dear Michael,
Could you please kindly review this image? The flickr account owner agreed to license this image freely but I used the free version of Adobe Photoshop and increase the clarity and sharpness of the original image. So the flickr review bot does not match and pass the image since it is a robot. This image is good enough for Amenemhat IV's article and much better than the original on flickr. However, I don't use unapproved images. Thank You Fabian, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:57, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Of course Leoboudv! It is now reviewed. --MGA73 (talk) 12:30, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Thank You for your help Michael. Enjoy the rest of your Monday! Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 12:34, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
Dear Michael,
This 1990 image was uploaded to Commons since June 2024 but no one wants to review it. I don't know if it is ineligible for copyright or safe to review. Perhaps, you have more experience as Admin in deciding here. If it is not safe, feel free to file a Deletion Request. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Secondly, maybe this DR here can be closed as delete as I managed to upload another Haddock replacement dish in the UK below:

Hi Leoboudv! I passed the first file. I think it looks simple. The second file is uploaded by a trusted user on en.wiki so I send a message to the user on Flickr asking about the file. --MGA73 (talk) 15:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Thanks for reviewing the first image. As for the second image under DR, the trusted user said over here to me that he did not mind if the image was deleted but if he affirms the license was free at upload...then you can pass the image under DR and close the DR as keep. I am not an Admin and cannot make trusted users. Secondly, I always type {{Flickrreview}} for all my image uploads and only one was deleted when I was early to the Commons project since I did not know it was a derivative image.

wbayercom on bad author's list
[edit]Dear Michael,
The wbayer flickr account OR wbayercom flickr photostream has 15,000 images and maybe half are licensed freely. It is a PRO flickr account. I have checked through the images and they appear to be own work and the account owner writes in French though they are German (Heidi and Werner Bayer from their Geneva, Switzerland website. I noticed these 2 images below on the bad author's list
- Also their 2023 Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia) photos and Singapore photos appear OK.
All I know is that this flickr account was added to this list due to flickrwashing by Hipposcrashed . But unlike other flickrwashing users, this user was never banned although he has a record of copyright violations on his talkpage...and I don't know from which account his copy vios came from. In my opinion. wbayercom is a legitimate account. But what do you think and where can I file an appeal if I choose to do so to remove it from the bad author's list? Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I also wonder why it is on the list. Perhaps raise the question at Commons talk:Questionable Flickr images? It seems it was added to bad list 10 years ago per Special:diff/130184821. But I only see a few deleted uploads from that user. --MGA73 (talk) 08:55, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank You. I have posted a message on the board. If you wish to look at it and/or add some information about this flickr account, please feel free to do so. The flickr account owners must be wealthy to be able to visit Malaysia and Singapore. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:04, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Please delete the first upload
[edit]Dear Michael,
Please delete the first upload in this file if you can.
Secondly, this situation is pretty terrible but you are not a flickrreview bot maintainer. No license reviewer can mark 6,000+ images Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Deleted the first version. And yes it sux that bot stops. Last time someone complained that my bot requested a new review too many times. --MGA73 (talk) 13:19, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank You Michael for your help. Kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Admin AntiComposite has restarted the Flickrbot but no one knows why the bot stopped in the first place sadly. At this rate the flickr bot will stop in another few weeks again sadly. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
2 Questions
[edit]Dear Michael,
Please feel free to close this DR as delete if you feel comfortable. From the file history, the license was cc by sa 2.0 generic on November 6 before it was deleted on November 7...but no one reviewed it in time. I had uploaded a replacement image that was reviewed and is now in use.
Secondly, in here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Questionable_Flickr_images , I supppose removing the wbayercom flickr account from the blacklist is a low priority. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
