Images of Russian soldiers[edit]
Hi. I'm not sure if it's something you'd be interested in doing, but I found a cool account on Flickr OTK 61 that has some older images of Russian soldiers and some other stuff that might be worth importing. I'd do it myself but I'm pretty busy and don't know how to use Flickr2Commons anyway. So I thought you might want to do it. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 10:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Adamant1 Useful idea! But I will first ask permission from the author. Meanwhile, do you have any new ideas for converting Russian and post-Soviet sites to free licenses and finding Flickr accounts from Russia with free Creative Commons licenses?

- OK. Not really. I assume anything out of copyright for the normal reasons could be downloaded from Flickr regardless of what license the uploader puts on file. Like there's a lot of cabinet cards and the like in the Vintage Russia group that are supposedly "all rights reserved", but they can still be uploaded to Commons because of how old they are regardless. I don't think it's worth asking the users for permission in a situation like that either. Let alone is it necessary. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
