Requests for permission to run a bot[edit]

Please leave the bot account exclusively for your bot's edits.
Looks good to me. Some files have duplicate {{Taken with}} tags like File:Zukovskiy industrial railway 2022-10 1664723936.JPG for example. Would it be possible to remove the dupes on the fly when dealing with the files? --Achim55 (talk) 18:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
