I'd like to officially announce Andre Engels as the reigning KING OF THE FLICKRLICKRS. Andre was one of the first FlickrLickr reviewers, and has reviewed a total of 30,000 CC-BY-licensed Flickr images so far.

Thanks to Andre for his continuing dedication. Though, KenWalker is catching up quickly with 24,000 reviewed pictures. ;-) There are currently 65 registered reviewers.
For those who do not know, FlickrLickr is a collaborative review process for picking freely licensed pictures on Flickr that should be uploaded to Commons:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:FlickrLickr
You see 50 random photos per page, edit their descriptions, and tick the ones you want to upload. The vast majority of photos on Flickr is of no relevance to us, or of unacceptable quality. So far, more than 150,000 pictures have been reviewed, and about 8,000 of these have been uploaded to Commons.
New pics are being uploaded to Flickr at a much faster rate than we can review them -- there are more than 5 million pictures under acceptable licenses on Flickr. So we always need more volunteers. Just e-mail me off-list if you want an account (include your Commons username).
You can review some of the favorites chosen by FlickrLickr users here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:FlickrLickr/Highlights (That page could use some reorganization - feel free to be bold. :-)
Some FlickrLickr pictures have become featured, and we do our best to ensure that useful pictures get included in Wikimedia articles. Volunteer today, and one day you might be the next .. KING OF THE FLICKRLICKRS. ;-) -- Peace & Love, Erik

Is there a reason on why flckrlickr doesn't fill in the fields at {{flickreview}} template?+ for instance http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Building_reflection_chicago.jpg and some others Iv'e spotted
a LOT of images on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Flickr_review_needed have a "reviewer" field, yet {{flickrreview}} isn't filled in and thus images still show up there.
Is that a bug? a feature?
