I'm not sure why you'd want a URI to an external site in a field like this. Is it not possible to assume that every person referred to will have an item either on Wikidata or on Commons? Then this field only needs to link to one of those places, where links to Flickr profiles etc., can be collected. When somebody is uploading a new file, you'd need to ask for some kind of link like that that identifies the person and allows linking to the right Wikidata/Commons record, creating a new one if needed. External links also go bad sometimes when people delete their Flickr accounts etc. There will be other complexities, like multiple people sharing a single Flickr account (e.g., if the Flickr account is for an organization and they have images from various authors), or people who have multiple Flickr accounts.
