__TOC__
== Summary ==
Most photos on Flickr are anonymous, [[WP:SPS|self-published]], and unverifiable, and should not be used at all for verifying information in articles (although properly-licensed photos from Flickr ''can'' be used to ''illustrate'' articles). Content uploaded from a verified official account, such as that of a news organization, may be treated as originating from the uploader and therefore inheriting their level of reliability. Note that one ''cannot'' make interpretations from Flickr photos, even from verified sources, because that is [[WP:OR|original research]].
