Hi Cary,
Thank you for bringing this up and your efforts in managing the Wikimedia Commons Group on Flickr. Currently, we have more than 28.1K photos of the Flickr group. In that case, I wish there was any tool that could prevent uploading images that are not incompatible with CC licenses. By human effort, it does not seem practical.

I'm looking for people to help moderate the group to remove photographs that don't have licenses compatible with Commons, and remove users who repeatedly add photos with incorrect licenses. Maybe leave a message for them but honestly, some of these people are just submitting photos to every group they can.
Also, if something falls completely outside the scope of Commons, probably remove those too...
Cary

I'm an admin of the Wikimedia Commons Group https://www.flickr.com/groups/30009679@N00 on Flickr, a group that has, up until now, had no moderation for numerous years. Given my uptick in activity on Flickr (resulting from my uptick on Commons) I'm hoping to change that.
Photographs in the group ought to be able to be readily able to be ported to Commons, thereby having a free license. People who sign up for the group agree to that rule. However, currently numerous people are just sharing photographs that they share on numerous other groups for exposure.
I do not have the bandwidth to moderate completely on my own. Is anyone else currently a regular Flickr user that would be willing and able to help out?
