Hi! I would like to make minor edits to problematic BSicons, such as https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BSicon_utdKRZ3+1tvu.svg. Thank you. SomeRailfan (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm quite an active editor on Wikipedia for electoral events and I'd need the permissions to overwrite files like Parliament composition diagrams and such that may change fairly frequently over time and are often handled by multiple users at the same time. Thank you. Fm3dici97 (talk) 14:05, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be willing to grant it you if you had 200 edits, but your edit count is rather below that. You can make requests at COM:OWR in the meantime. Abzeronow (talk) 01:18, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SaintPaulOfTarsus

[edit]
I nominate @SaintPaulOfTarsus for AP. I know the user is well below the 500 mark, but there are cases we make exception and this is one of them. The user has been doing great work with Russia-Ukraine maps. My interaction so far has been great, as can be seen on their TP. Also has more than 8k edits on enwiki. Shaan SenguptaTalk 08:17, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll keep this request open for a few more days to see if there any objections, this user's work on Russia-Ukraine maps is great as you say. Abzeronow (talk) 00:08, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I believe I have met the requirements. I previously uploaded two files that violated copyright, but I realized my mistake and understood it, I also have the same rights on arwiki.-- Aws 💬 Talk 16:20, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To your credit, you haven't had any issues since October, but not that many contributions either since October. Your tenure here is essentially five months. Yes, I can see that you have rights on arwiki, I'll take that into consideration. Abzeronow (talk) 00:17, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mostly need to be able to overwrite some illustrations that are used on enwikisource, removing background page color. s:Book of Record of the Time Capsule of Cupaloy is a good example. I think my edit history illustrates a sufficient understanding of scope and copyright issues. I have also read and understand COM:OW. Thank you.

[edit]
I have 408 edits, which, granted, is less than the 500 stated at the top, however my edits and image uploads (usually svg logos, maps and ParliamentDiagram images) are of what I believe to be high quality and generally haven't caused many issues; a lot of my edits are maintenance, fixes and updates on other files and requesting exemptions for overwriting on specific files is a bit of a chore.

[edit]
Requesting AWB/JWB access because I mainly work in weather/track map related areas and the template has/had some issues regarding headers and other parameters that have stayed in older files that I would like to fix. Additionally, I would like to add the colors parameter to the template's invocations for files which use the post-2023 color scheme. I would also like this to work with categories in the future. I have access to this on enwiki as well. Thank you. HurricaneZeta (talk) 23:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
I am requesting AWB access to be able to more easily mass-rename and mass-update AntWeb specimens. As quite clearly shown in my contributions, I have made a large amount of repetitive edits to update ant specimen information from outdated files. I have read and understand the guidelines for proper AWB use in pages, and I will adhere to them to the best of my ability. In the near term, it appears that my sole and extensive use for this right is to mass-update ant specimen images, of which over 30,000 exist. Thank you. 2003 LN6 06:51, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feitidede

[edit]
I'm an autopatroller on WikiCommons with several meaningful contributions. My work is focused primarily on the vectorization of flags. I am an active Wikigraphist who is happy to take requests for vectorizing low-quality bitmap flags and coats of arms. As an autopatroller, I also help improve existing SVG-traced flags and files with bad vectorization in general, which often need to be renamed for harmonization purposes. Having file-moving rights would make this process easier and quicker. Thank you. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 16:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edit count is slightly under the guideline. Rename requests look good for the most part, under 50 in total from what I can see. Abzeronow (talk) 01:25, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the required edit count is around 1000 right? would the minimum amount of requests be 50 then? Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 02:33, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline only says "large amount of requests", 50 is not exactly a large number. Abzeronow (talk) 02:51, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BlueHypercane761

[edit]
I'm LightandDark2000, I'm requesting this right for my Commons account. I've had years of experience editing on Commons at this point, and I'm pretty familiar with the upload and naming policies. And I also have the Autopatroller permission. I've filed a handful of renaming requests in the past, in addition to carrying out a fair amount of recategorization work. I'd like to request the File Mover right, so I can more effectively perform my work without having to clog up the renaming request backlog. Thanks. BlueHypercane761 🌀 (talk) 14:24, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Only 3 rename requests that I can see, all look good. Abzeronow (talk) 01:30, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dactylantha

[edit]
I have been steadily making Commons contributions within the GLAM space over the past few years, these uploads covering a variety of collection areas. It would be helpful for me to be able to audit prior mistakes in bulk uploads as well as assist with other GLAMs we have in our network who are also contributing to Wikimedia Commons. File naming is very important within Museums and Archives information management, and it is a vital method for associating an image related to a digital record in Wikimedia Commons with its twin entities in other information systems. Additionally, it would be helpful for me in organising publications with individual pages uploaded that would benefit with 00- pagination so that the pages show in order. Thank you. Dactylantha (talk) 20:59, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Having worked quite a bit with Dactylantha on OpenRefine, they are a pro. Fully knows how Commons works and is structured. I've been a filemover for years and would think that Dactylantha does more high-end stuff on Commons than I ever will. Schwede66 21:24, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite experienced with Wikidata and Wikipedia (3.6K and 2K edits respectively), and sometimes have to deal with images on Wikimedia Commons. I've also had to rename files sometimes, and all of my move requests so far have been accepted, so I felt like applying for the permission myself, in order to stop wasting other people's time with this.

I need this right To track cross-wiki vandals outside arwiki, and I have the same rights on arwiki and wikidata. -- Aws 💬 Talk 16:45, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@أوس, unless I am missing something, I can't see any anti-vandalism work from you here on Commons. No use of undo/twinkle yet. Also having a right in some wiki doesn't solely guarantee getting rights here. Shaan SenguptaTalk 17:44, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also like to see some anti-vandalism work before I'd grant this right to you. I'll take your rollbacker right on arwiki into consideration (shows that you understand the right is intended to fight vandalism). Abzeronow (talk) 00:25, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Abzeronow, @Shaan Sengupta, If you look more closely at my contributions, you'll find that I delete the content of offending user pages instead of using the regular undo button. the new redo button eliminates the need to delete the content of offending user pages; instead, I can simply click the redo button. -- Aws 💬 Talk 08:49, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

LightandDark2000

[edit]

Hi, I'm LightandDark2000 (or BlueHypercane761 on Commons). While I primarily operate a different account on Commons (dating back to before unified global login was a thing), this is my primary global account, and I do most of my anti-vandalism work from this account as well. I would normally request permissions for my Commons account here, but I feel that my main global account would be more appropriate for this. I already have years of experience dealing with vandalism here and across different wikis, beginning with en.wiki. I already have the Rollbacker right on en.wiki, and I also have plenty of anti-vandal reverts on Commons as well (under both of my accounts, but mostly this one), so I know how to identify vandalism, and I can responsibly use the rollbacker tool. Reverting vandalism gets pretty tedious for some of the cross-wiki vandals I deal with, particularly those with a high output of edits, and it takes a significant deal of time just to revert all their damage with just the Twinkle tool. I'd like to obtain Rollbacker on Commons to more efficiently facilitate my anti-vandalism work, particularly when dealing with cross-wiki LTAs and vandals. Thanks.

Hi. I sometimes actives in patrolling in Commons and will need this right to check if an IP is abusing multiple accounts or whether the IP is an open proxy when dealing with vandalism.

You may request this right only if you have the Patroller or License Reviewer right.

As far as I can see, you have autopatrolled, ipblock-exempt, rollbacker. — regards, Revi 01:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've granted them patroller. Abzeronow (talk) 02:12, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Sorry for not knowing this was a requirements, but since I'm a patroller now, I will still need this rights, thanks. Nvdtn19 (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While I primarily operate a different account on Commons (dating back to before unified global login was a thing), this is my primary global account, and I do most of my anti-vandalism work from this account as well.

I've had the permission on en.wiki for about a month now, and both of my accounts have Autopatroller on Commons. I'd like to have this permission on Commons to deal more effectively with cross-wiki vandals and LTAs, particularly those with a history of IP socking. Thanks.
