As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits, and to have been active in the last thirty days. Patrollers and License reviewers don't have to request this flag. Find possible candidates.
I would like to overwrite an image file on Commons in order to upload a partial restoration made by me of it. I know that, from 2019 circa to the first months of 2021, I edited pages and overwrote files without following the rules and for this I extend to the community my deepest excuses; now, I have grown up and I am conscientious about what I do here. Thank you very much in advance. Jilligate (talk) 16:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I'm requesting the autopatrol right since I would like to replace some images that need updating. As I would have to replace 18 images, it would be difficult to request them as exceptions, so I'm requesting autopatrol instead. Thank you!

OK, my thoughts on your request. I do see that you're extended confirmed on enwiki. Joined Dec 2023, approx. 330 edits. I'd prefer 500, but I don't see any major issues with edits so far. I'll wait a few more days to see if anyone objects before making a decision on this request. Abzeronow (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have been editing for years and mainly contribute to maps and other files related to WikiProject Eurovision on Wikipedia, most of which weren't initially created by myself. Due to the amount I contribute within that space, it would be very much appreciated if I could be granted autopatrol privileges rather than wasting people's time with constant exception requests. Thank you very much! Aris Odi❯❯❯talk12:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know that number is a bit low for commons, however, as of writing this I have 835 edits on the English Wikipedia. Most of my changes on commons involve minor changes to maps and other files for WikiProject Eurovision. I am a trusted user within that project so it would be helpful if I could be granted these privileges, however, I understand if that may not be possible at this stage. Thank you for your assistance.

I have been editing a small number of maps for a few years: African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfricanContinentalFreeTradeArea.svg), countries with tobacco plain packaging schemes (Plain_packaging.svg), etc. Even though I am not the creator of these maps, I am often their main updater. Creating new versions may be an option, but it could imply that articles in some linguistic versions of Wikipedia would remain outdated for a while. Thank you.

Everyday I vectorize and upload new flags to wikicommons and to wikipedia to improve their page's quality. Most of the time, I improve flags that have never been vectorized before, and by doing so I'm required to upload new files with the .svg format. However, sometimes I come across other .svg flags with poor quality. To make the aforementioned task easier, I'm asking for autopatrol rights so I can improve those bad .svg's without having to upload new files and replace their outdated uses one by one. Thank you so much in advance. Feitidede (talk) 20:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I will keep editing and I'm sure this will improve, but for now, could I be granted overwriting access for this file: [1] as I have created a new and revised version of it? Feitidede (talk) 01:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm a political map maker. A few months ago, I requested and was granted temporary permission for this. However, my Autopatrol access just expired. I recall being told that I could keep it permanently as long as I used it responsibly. I am now requesting if I can have it permanently. GatewayPolitics (talk) 23:41, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the copyvios from June concern me (we also prefer archiving to blanking talk pages, but you are within rights to do so.) But I'll let GMG decide this if they want to. Abzeronow (talk) 16:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the interest of transparency, accountability, and community, if there is any objection, I think it would be more appropriate if an outside party evaluate. GMGtalk16:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like this role to be able to overrite more files on my focus area on commons. I have over a thousand edits on commons and have uploaded a large amount of files, so I would say I have a decent understanding of how commons functions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBritinator (talk • contribs) 23:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates on Wikipedia using BSicons. I often upload new BSicons and before autopatrol rights were required, I uploaded new versions of existing ones (example: [2]). I would like autopatrol rights in order to continue what I've successfully done in the past and present. Thank you. Jackdude101talkcont02:39, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made at least 1,000 useful, non-botlike edits or a large amount of justified renaming requests at Commons before they will consider granting the filemover right.
Hello to all administrators. I am mainly working on building a reliable wiki database of native plant species (wikipedia, wikispecies, wikimedia commons, wikidata). I often upload photos that capture important morphological traits of each plant species, and sometimes those species is correctly identified after uploading. New species are often discovered, especially in the orchid family, and reclassifications are often made. It is important for our purposes that the file name of the image represents the correct species name based on the latest classification. To facilitate the above editing process, I request "Filemover" privileges. Thank you. BeautifulMedia (talk) 05:59, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I've been on Commons for roughly 5 years and experienced some occasions where moving files might be appropiate (in my own files and in other people's files; often misspellings). I think its useful to do it by myself instead of annoying someone else doing it :). I upload files that I created and from third sources --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 17:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
