Commons:License review/Requests
Kindly read Commons:License review and relevant pages such as Flickr files before applying for the right.
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 compatible with Wikimedia Commons and which are not, and be dedicated to license reviewing every so often and offer their assistance in clearing the backlogs. Relevant knowledge can be demonstrated by regularly participating in deletion requests or in New Files Patrolling.
Post your request below and be prepared to respond to questions. The community may voice their opinions or ask a few questions to verify your knowledge. A few days later (usually 48 hours), a reviewer or an administrator will determine the possible outcome of the request based on the input received from the community. The closing admin/reviewer will grant the right if there are no objections 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).

{{Done}} - Open for 4 days with no opposition. User is qualified. Seawolf35 (talk) 17:10, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Seawolf35, when granting LR to a user having Patrol or Autopatrol, make sure to request some admin to remove the redundant right or consider not granting LR at all. Shaan SenguptaTalk 06:48, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Shaan Sengupta: - Okay. This request was open for a while and some admin usually just does it without me asking anyways. Best, Seawolf35 (talk) 06:51, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

- I agree that there should be at least some discussion before the request was closed, but it was probably unfortunate timing since it was the end of year/new year, so maybe other users (including me) are less active during this time. If it helps, I would have
Support the request since I think the user is quite active in DRs and seems to be knowledgeable in copyright laws and Commons policies. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Seawolf35 please don't close requests without any comments. Only now that Tvpuppy's supported would be a good time to consider doing so. Bedivere (talk) 00:22, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

- Asclepias requested that their rights be revoked, which I did. Meanwhile, this discussion can continue; it's usually been such. Additinally, I have come across their work and thus personally endorsing their request. signed, Aafi (talk) 03:39, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

- I think there is now enough support to grant the right. As for my view, I too Support. I would've closed this myself but there will be the redunant patrol and I would've to anyway ask an admin. So better an admin only close this. Shaan SenguptaTalk 08:29, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
