Instructions
All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to clean up.
If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. However, to avoid collateral damage, efforts should be made when possible to verify infringement before removal.
When every section is completed, please alter the listing for this CCI at Wikipedia:CCI#Open_investigations to include the tag "completed=yes". This will alert a clerk that the listing needs to be archived.

Images
- Examine the images below. For free images:
- Does the image look non-free? Is it likely the uploader is the copyright holder?
- Is the image properly licensed and sourced? Be aware of images that say "this image is licensed under X" without specifying who created it.
- Do a reverse image search using TinEye. Check the license of the source page. Compare the last modified time with the (Commons) upload time.
- Do a Google image search for phrases that describe the image's contents.
- See Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion#Addressing suspected copyright infringement on dealing with cases of possible image copyright infringement. There is no need to open a possibly unfree files listing. Administrators may delete images from multiple point infringers presumptively in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Evaluators who are not administrators may section images into a "deletion requested" section for administrator attention.
- For non-free images, determine whether each image meets our non-free content criteria.
- Note that Commons does not accept non-free content.
- Annotate the listing with the action taken, e.g. if the image was tagged no source write "no source"; if the fair use claim is deemed ok you can write "OK fair use".
Background
I do not know where it was reported on Commons. Do you have a link? I noticed that a lot of the files uploaded by Kos93 has allready been deleted on Commons. I made a post at Commons:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Copyvios_uploaded_by_User:Kos93 and created Commons:Category:Files uploaded by User:Kos93 to make it easier to find and delete copyvios. --MGA73 (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
- Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 30#User:Kos93 and possible serial copyright violations then Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2011/12#User:Kos93. MER-C 03:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you. A DR has been started for some of the files at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kos93. It will take some time to check them all. You are most welcome to comment on Commons and if you know a way to make a list of the files and their metadata it would be easier to spot the files that is most likely to be a problem. --MGA73 (talk) 06:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- I did a spot check of a slew of them, and after finding no issues, I'm closing this. Since the images are on commons, it's technically out of our scope on enwiki. We've already gotten rid of the clear problems, so any that may have issues would be minor or borderline. It would be too much of a timesink for really no gain.
