Be able to add audio files to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you. Mentxuwiki (talk) 10:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can add audio files already (.flac and .ogg), and given both recent blocks and even more recent copyvios, I don't want to enable mp3 uploads for you since sound recordings are even more complicated copyright-wise. Abzeronow (talk) 16:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am requesting the autopatrol right to update existing image files extracted from books proofread on Wikisource, in order to improve their quality by using the source file (instead of the compressed file of the book uploaded to Wikisource) and replacing the background by the white color to improve the results obtained on Wikisource (examples here or there). Thank you in advance! --FreeCorp (talk) 06:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to overwrite existing PDF versions of Wikibooks with new updated versions wikibooks. I also tried to upload them to files with new version names, but this causes large administrative work since the new file needs to be linked in may places, see File:MySQL.pdf for a example that I could overwrite without needing special rights since I was the original upload and see File:Human Physiology LaTeX Version.pdf and File:Human Physiology.pdf for a file where I had to upload under a new name because I lack the rights at the moment Thank you.

I'm requesting the autopatrol right to update and/or improve existing image files Thank you. Rettinghaus (talk) 08:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overwrites like File:Francesco Maria Veracini.jpg should be uploaded as new files. Going from greyscale to sepia is not a minor visual change. Abzeronow (talk) 18:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I kindly request the autopatrol right to update and/or improve existing image files. E.g. currently planning to update various French army insignia rotations. Thank you. 19 (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see some more edits from you. Under 100 is generally too low, even accounting for your patroller status on Chinese Wikipedia. Abzeronow (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now, over 100, which is good. I'd still like more though. I'm willing to keep this request open though. Abzeronow (talk) 16:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am requesting the autopatrol right, mainly for editing map images. I believe I have a good track record of map image edits and uploads. (One example is the United States abortion laws map, which I have made many helpful edits to in order to reflect changing laws and court rulings in the country.) If given this right, I will use it to continue to make helpful edits mainly to map images as I believe I have done in the past. Thank you. President Loki (talk) 09:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit count is still rather low. Abzeronow (talk) 15:47, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What would be a more ideal edit count? President Loki (talk) 20:34, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Guideline says 500, but I'd say at least 250. Abzeronow (talk) 21:02, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I ask for the autopatrol right, since I refresh periodically charts of life expectancy with new data. My charts are always accurate, they are created and usually uploaded with my own scripts that excludes errors. But I have met issue that I cannot update charts, that were created by not me (though already updated by me), without the autopatrol right. — Lady3mlnm (talk) 19:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AutoWikiBrowser access

[edit]
See also: Commons:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON.
I would like to apply a deletion notice in bulk to a category of images that I am appealing to be removed due to incorrect copyright status - Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions as per my request at Commons:Deletion_requests/Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions. There are ~2500 images requiring this notice as per the deletion request requirements, and OpenRefine seems untenable as a batch editing option as the reconciliation service currently has a bug that has stopped me from doing any editing to that category. Of course, if there is an alternative to AutoWikiBrowser I would be happy to hear it - anything is better than copy and pasting 2500 times! Thank you. Dactylantha (talk) 01:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dactylantha, you could request that job to be done on Commons:Bots/Work requests. --Achim55 (talk) 18:31, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to fix common spelling/formatting errors in English descriptions for files Thank you. Danielt998 (talk) 18:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Danielt998: Hi. Sorry for the long delay. Can you please give some examples of intended edits? -- CptViraj (talk) 05:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to apply for the File mover right to rename files. I've been contributing on Commons for quite some time, and I have been doing lots of file renaming requests recently. I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I think it would be really helpful if I have the right and could just do the moves myself. Thank you.

I apply for the "File mover" right on Commons. I have been active on this wiki and on other wikis for many years. I would like to move files with problematic names in accordance with the relevant policy myself. I am aware that I subsequently must fix transclusions of the file on wikis using it. Thank you.

Though I do not make that much requests, I am very active on Wikimedia Commons since a couple of years and I know the renaming guideline, I won't overuse these rights. Thank you. Niegodzisie (talk) 07:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to be granted File Mover rights to correct the titles of over 300 photographs recently uploaded for a projet I am currently coordinating, a photo campaign focusing on athletics. Most photographs were uploaded under vague, meaningless or wrong names. I currently have over 300 photos under the wrong titles and I would like to rename some of them to add more suitable titles such as athlete name and disclipline. Batch task won't be useful here. I am an experienced wikimedian have gone through the renaming guidelines. I have been contributing to Wikimedia Commons for 7 years now and I have been a local and organizer for several photo contests and photowalk. Thank you.

I have contributed 40,000+ edits on Commons, and have made some file renaming requests. I believe I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I'd like to assist with renaming files. Thank you. 00:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everyone! I'm writing another message here to reinforce my previous request! Our deadline for the start of the campaign is approaching! Thank you for your attention!. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I would like to request permission to create campaign pages on Wiki Commons. I am part of the project Projeto Mais Teoria da História na Wiki, and we are promoting an event for content editing on Wikimedia projects called Mais Mulheres em Teoria da História na Wiki. One of the activities is uploading images of women intelectualls and the PDF file of women's scientific productions under free license to WikiCommons according to the event's scope. The project has done something similar in the past, with the only difference being the event's theme, as you can see here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?campaign=MaisDiversidade. Thank you very much in advance. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
