Would anyone subscribed to this mailing list have time to help finding suitably licensed photos on Flickr (or elsewhere) for an article I worked on recently?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenary_of_the_outbreak_of_World_War_I
Currently there are four commemoration events listed on that page at which photos were taken, but I'm struggling to find photos from those events on Commons or Flickr under a free license.
On Commons I found this image:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Liege-Cointe-Tour_Memorial_Interallie...
Which is the venue for one of the events, but ideally any images used would be taken at the events themselves.

Thanks for the tips. Can you set the parameters of a search to only return openly licensed content?
The viewing stats are interesting:
http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Centenary_of_the_outbreak_of_World_War_I
A peak of 11,000 views yesterday.
But the main WWI article (not surprisingly) got large numbers of views:
http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/World%20War%20I
376,450 views on 28 July and another peak at 112,239 on 4 August.
Reached number three in the most-viewed list for the week of July 27 to August 2, 2014 (and was still at number 15 the following week):

I don't know about Google Images, but you can specify "Creative Commons only" and filters "Commercial use allowed" & "Modifications allowed" on Flickr itself.

Aye, if you search for images on google and click 'search tools' then 'usage rights' you can select what kind of usage you want. It doesn't catch everything (it needs to be able to parse the licenses so commons is usually not always available from what I can tell) but can be very useful.
