Procedures

~~Ebe123~~ (+) ^talk
_Contribs will chair the group. The committee will inspect files at random for quality control purposes. With the reviewing, the group will offer advice. If you are interested in participating, please sign up below. This time, we will only need 3 users which is preferably administrators.

Reviewing

Ten percent of a participant's transfers should be inspected. Reviewers should choose images at random, and cannot inspect their own transfers.

In order for participants to get credit for their transfers, they must log them at the Logs page. To review transfers, go to the logs page and choose an entry. Make sure that the information that was on the local Wikipedia page, including source information, description information, and an upload history (if the file had more than one local version) all made it to the Commons page. Also make sure that the file should have been transferred, i.e. that it is free use by Commons' definition (which is stricter than Wikipedia's definition).

If the transfer is acceptable, mark it down using {{MtC review|status=good|comment=(Comment with signature)}}. If the transfer is not acceptable, denote that with {{MtC review|status=bad|comment=(Comment with signature)}}. Please make sure you explain why it isn't acceptable. This doesn't have to be very long, 'didn't transfer over description' or 'image isn't free use' should usually be enough. If the transfer can be fixed, the participant should be given the opportunity to fix it. After all, the objective of this drive is to get the files to Commons, so there's no point in bringing it back unless it shouldn't be on Commons. Reviewers, upon determining that a transfer is unacceptable, have the right to a) check over additional transfers made by the same participant, b) levy a penalty (the size of which is at the reviewer's discretion) from the participant's "score" in the rankings, or c) bar them from the drive. Obviously the first option is preferable to the second, which is preferable to the third, however if someone is doing a great deal of bad work, it is best for the project if they are politely asked not to perform transfers anymore. Any baring should be referred to the other reviewers for discussion. Remember that continually uploading non-free files to commons may get you blocked.

Because files are deleted locally after being transferred to commons, it is preferred that Wikipedia admins (not necessarily at Commons) be the reviewers. Non-admin reviewers should note that most local files are deleted sometime between 24 and 48 hours after being tagged with NowCommons (CSD F8), but could be deleted within minutes.

Please direct any questions to ~~Ebe123~~ (+) ^talk

Advice

Copyright is... complicated. Even many sysops can't understand the complicated parts. The reviewers may give you advice whenever, but they will not do the transfers for you. If you have any doubts on moving an file, don't hesitate to ask.
