Re: [WikiEN-l] Help finding photos on Flickr
You can use Google image search to search for openly licensed content. This includes images from Flickr.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Help finding photos on Flickr
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): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Top_25_Report/July_27_to_August_2,_2014 On 8/11/14, Brian J Mingus brian.min...@colorado.edu wrote: You can use Google image search to search for openly licensed content.

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.
