I request the removal of:

{{qfiwbayer.com|wbayercom|76319087@N08|4=Flickrwashing by {{user|Hipposcrashed}}}}

•  Comment: Unlike other flickrwashing users, Hipposcrashed was never banned and left Commons many years ago in 2017
• More Important, the wbayer flickr account OR wbayercom flickr photostream has 15,000 images and maybe half of the images are licensed freely. All their flickr albums are own work and this is a PRO flickr account. I have checked through the images and they all appear to be own work and the account owner writes in French though they are German (Heidi and Werner Bayer from their Geneva, Switzerland website.)

I noticed these 2 images below on the bad author's list

• File:Lowveld National Botanical Garden 1.jpg
• File:Lowveld National Botanical Garden 2.jpg

• Also their 2023 Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia) photos--I was born in Malaysia--and 2024 Singapore photos are almost certainly own work with no flickrwashing at all. To all intents and purposes, this appears to be a real legitimate flickr account with their own internet website. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:54, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

• I  Support removal. Some photos may not be eligible for Commons because of FOP etc. but unless Flickr user is known to upload many photos taken by someone else and license them freely then I do not think it is enough for a ban. --MGA73 (talk) 10:20, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
• I was summoned here by Leoboudv. Because of that, I'd prefer not to be the one to action this request. But if the images look good, no objection from me. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
