Hi there,
I just wanted to share two of tools with you:
* Flinfo fetches a complete picture description from Flickr by a given picture ID like 151898652: http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/flinfo.php
* WikiBlame searches different versions of an article for one specific string: http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php
I just wanted to hear your opinions and to tell you, that I'm always open for suggestions and translations of WikiBlame :))
Best regards,
Flo
PS: I know that fetching the license from flickr as well would be perfect .... I'm working on it ....

Flinfo is good because it grabs the image description, which ImportFreeImages doesn't do, but it also grabs an appalling list of categories:
[[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Stouen]] [[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Stouen]] [[Category:Milestone]] [[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Stouen]] [[Category:Milestone]] [[Category:Hand]] [[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Stouen]] [[Category:Milestone]] [[Category:Hand]] [[Category:Pointing]] [[Category:Jersey]] [[Category:Stouen]] [[Category:Milestone]] [[Category:Hand]] [[Category:Pointing]] [[Category:Granite]]
(from 375290340... not sure what happened there...)
Simetrical, it's anyone's guess how long it will take ImportFreeImages to be enabled... http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8854

Seems I had a little double output there ....
I fixed it and added a small bonus to it, see for yourself :)

OK, looks better. I am surprised you can't get the Flickr user's name. Are you using the Flickr API? I think it should be possible. Since both the licenses we use are "BY" (attribution) I think getting the username is a good idea. Also, in the permission field I would either put 'see below', or put 'licensed under the Creative Commons [Attribution|Attribution ShareAlike] license, version 2.0".
Also, in the case of trying to get the info for a non-free license, it should probably refuse to produce any output, instead of 'NO FREE LICENSE - DON'T UPLOAD TO COMMONS' (which is nice, but I hardly expect people to read and follow such instructions :))
cheers, Brianna

I did and it always worked. Which picture did you try?
Also, in the permission field I would either put 'see below', or put 'licensed under the Creative Commons [Attribution|Attribution ShareAlike] license, version 2.0".
Is that really necessary?

Good point ... I'll think about it.

There's some useful info on that in the Greasemonkey Flickr-verification script:

May or may not be helpful in your situation.
Hey,
Flinfo is planned to be used in a new version of Special:Upload:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=fromflickr
(note: this is in addition to the standard form, not to replace it)
It would be useful if a few things were changed: * possibility to input image url instead of image ID. (shouldn't be that hard...) * include the {{flickrreview}} template in the pastable output (I thought it used to?) * make translatable, since if other langs update their special:Upload forms, they will want to link to a version in their language
that's it :)
thanks Brianna user:pfctdayelise

Great :)
It would be useful if a few things were changed:
- possibility to input image url instead of image ID. (shouldn't be
that hard...)
It could be difficult, since there are various kinds of image urls at flickr, but I'll see what I can do.
- include the {{flickrreview}} template in the pastable output (I
thought it used to?)
For admins it already does :)
- make translatable, since if other langs update their special:Upload
forms, they will want to link to a version in their language
What exactly should be translateable?
Best regards,
Flo

well, it doesn't have to be perfect. The two obvious cases (the image page, where comments and tags are, and the 'photo zoom' version which has different sizes) should be relatively easy. for anything else, it can always throw an error which explains how to find the image ID.

for everyone else, it should just put {{flickrreview}} though :P

What exactly should be translateable?
Subtitle ('the easy way to upload pics from Flickr'), field name ('ID:'), submit button text ('Get Flickr-Info'), link names ('Open upload form', 'Download original size'), preview button text ('preview'), any error messages. You know, basically any piece of text aside from the paste-able content. I would also make the URL of the 'open upload form' link translate-able. For EN it can be http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?uselang=fromflickr&title=Specia...
If other languages implement these forms, they will be like uselang=DEfromflickr etc.
I would also create a page just for feedback and comments on the tool, rather than only linking to your userpage. (And make it on commons or meta, please. :P) And on the page you can give info about how people can provide translations. Probably Magnus or Duesentrieb can give more advice at this stage, about making tools i18nable.

I have a set of regexes which I believe cover all available Flickr urls. i will look them up when I am at home.
