Administrators on Commons can now use UploadWizard to grab freely
licensed photos directly from Flickr. Go to Special:UploadWizard, and
you should see, next to the "Select a media file to donate" button, a
button that lets you "Add images from Flickr".
Commons administrators, please test this and let us know how it works! I
believe we want to be able to open it up so all users will be able to
upload multiple images at once from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons.
