Commons:Requests for rights

Shortcut: COM:RFR

edit this message How to make a request First make sure you clicked the correct edit-link and you are actually requesting the right you want. Copy the following and append it to the text-area: {{subst:rfr|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|2=reason}} Thank you. ~~~~ Replace reason with a rationale based on the rollback guideline, renaming guideline or the patroller guideline. Press Publish changes. Note Please check back periodically so you can respond to any queries. If your request has remained unanswered for several days, consider personally asking an administrator. Administrators, please welcome users granted a new right with an appropriate message. When requesting rights that need support by the community (e.g. administrator) please go to Commons:Requests and votes! If you request the rollback-right, please read the how-to first. Admins and anyone with global rollback don't need to request rollback. License reviewers don't have to request the patrol flag.

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]

 Oppose low edit count. Waqar💬 09:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose per Waqar. I've added {{Allow Overwriting}} to the abortion map; please post at COM:OWR if there are any more files you wish to overwrite. Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

•  Not done Have some experience from around and apply later. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 06:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Wavepainter (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

I have over 4.500 uploads (over 11.000 edits) in Wikimedia where I registered from November 2014 (in Wikipedia from 2008). I work with images having registered license from different photographs from volunteer Memorial community. I would like to have the autopatrolled rights to upload but mostly in order to overwrite old files with minor changes, such as lightening a picture, editing values, or a slight crop. I would appreciate being granted Autopatrol rights. With 10 years of experience (16 altogether), please consider me as a trustful editor. Thank you.

I wish to make changes in problematic pdf files uploaded for proper proof reading in wikisource. I am contributing more than 10 years and I have admin rights in ta.ws and other wikis. I have made many useful many thousands of edit and uploads in commons and considered as a reliable user in wiki community. Thanks. Thank you. Balaji (talk) 02:44, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted. -- CptViraj (talk) 08:35, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Andreuvv (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

I would like to have autopatrol rights to edit, update maps, graphics, and icons in Commons. I'm mainly focused in public transport icons and maps. Thank you. Andreuvv (talk) 10:44, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am maintaining categories for heritage monuments in Azerbaijan. Since Azerbaijan retake control of disputed region called Karabakh, I have to move files from {{Cultural Heritage Armenia}} to Azerbaijan. For example these files should be moved to {{Cultural Heritage Azerbaijan|5749}} Nemoralis (talk) 20:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This is going to be a controversial change - as everything dealing with the Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict is. You should probably get buy-in from the community via the village pump first. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:25, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @The Squirrel Conspiracy, I am not touching monuments located in Armenia. I will/want to replace Armenia|NK- part with Azerbaijani heritage ID. NK means Nagorno-Karabakh, which was officially dissolved on 1 January 2024. Nemoralis (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Again, it's a change that could be controversial and should be discussed before being implemented. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:27, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
