Before requesting, please read Commons:License review and relevant pages such as Flickr files.

To become a reviewer, you need to be familiar with the general licensing policy of Commons and the common practices of reviewing. A reviewer is required to know which Creative Commons licenses are allowed and disallowed on Wikimedia Commons. You should be dedicated to license reviewing every so often and offer your help in the backlogs. You can demonstrate your knowledge by regularly participating in deletion requests or New Files Patrol.

Post your request below and be prepared to respond to questions. The community may voice their opinions or ask a few questions to verify the applicant's knowledge. After a few days, a reviewer or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the applicant. If there are not, the user will close the request and add the applicant to the list of reviewers. If permissions are granted, you can add {{User reviewer}} (or one of its variants) to your user page and begin reviewing images.

Click the button to submit your request. Alternatively, copy the code below to the bottom of this page, and only replace "Reason" with the reason you are requesting this user right. Requests will be open for a minimum of two days (48 hours).

=={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}==
{{subst:LRR|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|Reason ~~~~}}

To close a request, please wrap the entire section excluding the section heading with {{Frh}} and {{Frf}}. If the request is successful, please leave this message {{subst:image-reviewerWelcome}}--~~~~ on the applicant's user talk page.

	SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day and sections whose most recent comment is older than 5 days.

• Reason: Reason: A good evening to all reading this. I am Contributor2020, (previously Contributers2020) applying for the privilege of license reviewer. I am currently autopatrolled and a file mover on the Commons, amassing over 3500+ edits, (a small fraction of them being bot-like, such as some mass uploading from flickr), and have been here since 4 years. I believe I am in capacity to do maintenance work since from the last request, I have forced myself to divert my focus on deletion requests and also have reported tens, if not hundreds copyright violations in the past year and also have dealt with tagging no permission files. I believe I have done a great job as a file mover, and I do think that I will do justice to the privilege of License Reviewer too. I am also a part of Commons Photographers User Group. From my last request for the post, I have learnt and understood deeply of COM:FOP, de minimis, COM:TOO and also how can I deal with files who's license has been changed from a license acceptable in Commons to the license which isn't, especially when it actually happened with me. I have also understood how I can detect fake metadata by comparing it with the contributions of the user. I am learning many things every day, even things which are very minor. I am very happy and would be extremely prompt to answer your question. Toodles! Contributor2020^{Talk to me here!} 10:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

 Question @Contributor2020: Hello, can you please clarify how many times you have applied for LR rights? A previous request mentions "I guess I have applied 4 times for this post." // sikander { talk } 🦖 13:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

So:-

14:43, 11 September 2020 (UTC): This was my first request however I personally do not count it as it was when I started contributing on Commons after migrating from Wikipedia, and I was kind of panicked after seeing a bunch of warnings on the talk page of some files may get deleted (it was because I was not applying the proper license on the Upload Wizard, however none of them were deleted)

07:47, 16 June 2021 (UTC) : This was my second request, I do also personally do not count it as I still didn't understand that I needed much, much more activity then I was needing to (it was my key takeaway after the third request just after a month or so).

03:52, 28 July 2021 (UTC) : This was my third request, where I tried to convince people that I have beneficial activity but failed because of reason of the second request.

08:35, 4 May 2022 (UTC) : This was my fourth request , I had showed activity, but I was told to reapply after 2 years of 2021 but still did it after 1 year. This request taught me patience, and to keep calm, to keep my attitude in check and always be calm (things I have ensured after many people brutally attacking me with racism and pure nonsense sock puppetry attacks).

After that, I haven't made any requests for license reviewer, and ensured that I have the proper experience and activity to do the same. The first two requests were what I believe, immature and the last two requests were declined by my lack of experience in the subject and lack of patience and obedience.
I have tried to fix things up after these requests, and while I am still learning, I have learnt great things with my 4 years of experience.

TL;DR - This is my 5th request. Contributor2020^{Talk to me here!} 13:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
