Please be careful about uploading these images. I've found that many of them actually date to after 1923 and have unclear copyright status. In particular many are from periodical collections, but the date listed is the date for the beginning of the collection. For example, all the images from the *Highland Echo* collection are dated to 1915 even though the collection spans from 1915 to 1925.

I think the best tool for uploading Flickr images is the Flickr option in standard Upload Wizard. See

Flickr2Commons is the best tool I have used till date for such purposes.

Flickr2commons [1] would be good too.

Hello!
I think that this discussion is relevant for Commons-l.
We (WMES) are actually currently very interested in this topic. We are getting for WLM14 more images via Flickr than directly via Commons, and are now wondering how to bring those over to Wikimedia Commons after the Flickrupload [1] bot didn't make it to WMFLabs.

https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/fist.php is capable of finding useful images in that Flickr stream; I've reported some issues at https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/magnustools/issues/ I asked the researcher to post suggestions in the tracker etc. but he replied that "broader conversations [...] with folks over at Wikipedia" are ongoing. Does someone know who those folks are? Any reason Commons-l can't be cc'd?
