[edit]
I am currently working on updating SVG flags and maps and I find myself in need of autopatrol rights for quick improvements and correcting mistakes, my own included. Thank you. TheFlagandAnthemGuy (talk) 01:57, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On File:Standard of Presidents Emeritus of Italy.svg and File:Flag of Albania (1928–1934).svg you made major changes they would need to be uploaded as new files. GPSLeo (talk) 18:53, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Very well, I will act properly. Still I think this permission could be of help for future projects TheFlagandAnthemGuy (talk) 19:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
About three years ago, I set out to replace the ugly gray backgrounds on the files in this category. They clashed quite heavily with the infoboxes in which they were used, e.g. w:Uniform polyhedron compound. Later, when I learned how to do it, I started replacing similar files' white backgrounds with transparent backgrounds, such as in this category (the files with Schlegel in their name). Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't have time to continue this change, and now the files are mismashed between transparent and not. I'd like autopatrol so I can complete this change. Thank you. viiii (talk) 23:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
While i am not very experienced on there, i made more than 800 edits on the trwiki and i know the importance of copyrights. I am also a white list (it is nearly smilar to autopatrol) on the trwiki for a long time. I want this right to be able to upload MP3's, and i have good reasons to want that. My reasons can be found at the history tab of the help desk. Thank you. RuzDD (talk) 14:26, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Right, that would be current section COM:HD#MP3 Uploading.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:42, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This topic does not contain my reasons to upload MP3's, and they can be found at the history, but this link also may be useful. Thank you. RuzDD (talk) 18:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done at this time. User needs more experience editing here. Abzeronow (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So, edits in other wikis does not count, right? Anyway, how can i be able to upload MP3's in non-direct ways (if my MP3's have to be patrolled in some way it will not make me feel bad)? Answer is late because i cannot get notifications from some pages while they are in my watchist (including this). RuzDD (talk) 18:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any way to upload MP3's with another user's file-specific permission, or modifying this abusefilter to allow MP3's with a version of 2-2.5 (easy-to-find popular MP3's are tend to use version 1) or allow uploading MP3's but require a patroller check to make them available to public? RuzDD (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want changes made to the MP3 policy, you can start a discussion at COM:VPP. Requiring autopatrol is easier because generally autopatrolled users have enough experience to know which mp3s can be uploaded (pre-1924 sound recordings and post-1972 sound recordings that are explicitly freely licensed). I would be happy to revisit a request for you to have the autopatrol right in three to six months. Abzeronow (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks but i can not found a Commons:MP3 policy (it's red)? RuzDD (talk) 18:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow Where is the MP3 policy? Can you write an internal link? RuzDD (talk) 12:49, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not exactly sure if we have an internal link that spells out the MP3 policy @GPSLeo: @King of Hearts: Abzeronow (talk) 16:51, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
I've been uploading images since 2021 and have around 1,156 edits as of writing this. I'm requesting auto patrol rights to upload either higher quality or full resolution historical images that were uploaded by abandoned accounts at Commons. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 11:26, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How do you explain the very high number of photos uploaded by you they are now deleted? GPSLeo (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GPSLeo: Two of them (File:Peter Osgood 1970.jpg and File:West Germany vs Morocco 1970.jpg currently have no known authors but were deleted regardless of that. File:Héctor Pulido.jpg was deleted as a different image under the same name was uploaded by Cementero (despite no known authors nor publication being cited in a reverse image search for my own upload) while File:Celia Cruz 1971.jpg is actually in the public-domain per {{PD-Peru-photo}} although the undeletion request was unusually inactive. A majority of the others that were actually deleted primarily revolved around images relating to football where the links I had found them didn't give explicit authorship until their deletion requests. Regardless as of writing this, there are currently 11 images uploaded by me that were deleted in contrast to the nearly 1,000 other images I have uploaded that have remained here. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 03:25, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the photograph in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Peter Osgood 1970.jpg didn't have a known author, it's still very likely under copyright as a British photograph, and therefore also still under copyright in the United States. We delete files when the copyright status is uncertain under COM:PCP. You as the uploader have the burden of showing that they are public domain or freely licensed. COM:EVID. Abzeronow (talk) 16:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow: Pretty sure anonymous works are exactly in-line with {{PD-Mexico}} given no newspaper publication was cited either with the only known information being its date. Either way, that isn't really the main point for this request. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 06:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I correct errors and the size of svg files. Just now I was trying to adjust the colour hue of File:Flag of March of Verona and Aquileia.svg to closer match other Holy Roman Empire flags, as well as to remove the transparent gaps in the edges when I discorved I need this new permission Thank you. Havsjö (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing a copyvio from November 2023 is a little concerning to me, and your overwrite of File:Adrian von Renteln.jpg should have been done as a new file. Abzeronow (talk) 17:20, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But that von Renteln file is literally the same photo --Havsjö (talk) 19:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The tone is different (sepia vs black and white) and your version shows more of the shoulders and chest. The color change alone should have had it as a different file. Abzeronow (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
While I'm a relatively new user on Wikimedia, I'm a somewhat skilled vector artist interested in adding and fixing vectorial art related to vexillology and heraldry (you can see some of my work in my profile). I've already seen many files with mistakes in their design, such as a missing white background being transparent (for example, File:Flag_MRNS.svg) or other mistakes in general, and when I tried to fix them, I found out I needed the autopatrol rights in order to make these changes, so I tried to apply for this in order for me to fix those problems. . Thank you. Supermiiu (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be willing to grant the rights in three to six months once you get some more edits and experience on the site. In the meantime, you can make requests at COM:OWR Abzeronow (talk) 17:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Good day,I request autopatrol's permission to upload MP3 files to Wikimedia.Moreover,I am registered to wikipedia since 2020 and have done a lot of edits to my school wikipedia side. My plan is to upload my school song and other relevant content for use on Wikimedia and Wikipedia.The sound recordings are public domain and freely licensed.I am committed to ensuring the content I provide aligns with Wikimedia's licensing and copyright policies.Thank you. M9911 (talk) 02:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It only looks like you just joined this year (unless you are talking about another account or IP edits?) Edit count is too low for this right right now. Abzeronow (talk) 16:58, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes.I've been using wikipedia since 2020.I forgot my username and also my password.Then i make a new account for my school editing purposes which is this account.In that case, if i wasn't be able to upload my school song, what should i do. I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
    Regards, M9911 (talk) 09:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • There would be other audio formats you could upload your school song in if the sound recording is freely licensed or public domain in composition, performance and recording. Unfortunately we cannot help you if you don't remember what your other account was. Abzeronow (talk) 16:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      show me how to upload the 'other audio formats' M9911 (talk) 03:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Upload your song in Ogg Vorbis format (.ogg). You can use any online converter if you don't have one on your computer or whatever device you're using. You can upload music files in Ogg format. Bedivere (talk) 03:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
I have been participating for years, in a serious and clean manner. I request the right to edit SVG files that are no longer accurate. I use Linux and edit SVG files by hand, making sure they remain clean and compliant. I also have studied copyright law, including international copyright, and could be of help should any problem arise regarding this topic. Thank you. Biganon (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done this was your first edit here and you've only made 140 global edits, most in the French Wikipedia, since registering nearly 15 years ago. You also don't need autopatrol to upload SVG files. Bedivere (talk) 15:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good day. I request please grant me autopatrol rights, to be able to modify images about my country, just as I have been doing for more than 12 years on Wikimedia Commons, mainly maps and diagrams. -- David C. S. 01:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done I've seen your work on the Spanish Wikipedia and was going to grant you the right. However, I went to check your talk page and noticed that your most recent archive (dating just some months ago) is full of warnings, including those not to overwrite files, even so overwriting files with blatant copyvios. I would expect more from a long-tenured user like you. Unfortunately I cannot accept your request at this moment. --Bedivere (talk) 02:00, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. You're far too new to have rights to upload MP3 files. Sound recordings would either need to be public domain or freely licensed, and sound recordings have separate copyrights for the composition, the performance and the recording. So municipal anthems would need to be free in the composition, free in the performance, and free in the recording. Abzeronow (talk) 18:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to be able to be able to fix inaccuracies and incorrect colours in flags, especially in city flags where I mainly do my work. I would also like it so that I could reduce the code for some images with excessive amounts of code and clipping masks. Thank you. Strenatos (talk) 03:30, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have slight concerns about your understanding of copyright as there were two speedy deletions of flags you uploaded this month, as well as a DR with a flag that is still currently under copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 16:25, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Hello. I'd like to try to get the autopatrol rights, so I can do minor edits to images like removing frames from pictures like File:Noma (cancrum oris) case (PLoS).jpg. Also I'd like to upload some free music MP3s, such as the songs from [LiQWYD https://www.liqwydmusic.com] which is released under CC-BY 3.0 license. I know that I haven't reached the 500 edits threshold yet, but considering I've been (occasionally) uploading for some time now and never got any contribution reverted/deleted, I thought that I'll give it a shot. Thank you. --ShadyMedic (talk) 17:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you link me to where it's stated that LiQWD licenses music under CC-BY 3.0 because that's not what it says in the License section? Abzeronow (talk) 18:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. I gotta be honest that I'm a bit confused now. I uploaded Night Out, assuming the licence in the description of this YouTube video is correct. But what's written on [1] seems more like a BY-NC licence. I don't know that much about licences, what is the the correct continuation from here? ShadyMedic (talk) 19:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct that the YouTube link claims a CC license, but I cannot find an example of a Creative Commons license at the website either currently or using the Wayback Machine. In order for us to accept a CC license, the license has to be explicitly stated from the copyright holder, and the YouTube video is not from the copyright holder. Abzeronow (talk) 21:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should I nominate File:LiQWYD - Night Out.wav for deletion then? ShadyMedic (talk) 22:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It may be for the best if it is. You uploaded it in good faith, but it may not have the license it says it does. Abzeronow (talk) 23:31, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'am registered since 2011. A lot of editions and uploading photos about history and art, but these days I just want to fix up some exposure, contrast and color balance of old Wikipedia images for example from WW2 using my graphic software and I want to replace a lot of miniature photos to large ones in higher quality. For that I believe overwrite rights are justified. Thank you. Tom5551 (talk) 08:07, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Registered since 2012. I've uploaded a few images in the past, but these days I just want to fix up some exposure and color balance on non-historical images using GIMP and G'MIC. For that I believe overwrite rights are justified. Thank you. Artoria2e5 contribs 05:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You should not overwrite photos like on File:Chicken parm at a diner.jpg unless the original author agreed with it. GPSLeo (talk) 09:42, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GPSLeo: There were no pixels added artificially and the change should fall into the scope of "minor and uncontroversial color correction, noise reduction, perspective correction, etc." -- there's a human expectation of how a tomato-based sauce should look like under natural lighting and the camera is not producing it. I suppose I can rope Oknazevad in and ask for forgiveness? Artoria2e5 contribs 03:19, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You do not know if the warm white balance was on purpose and editing existing JPG files always results in some more noise and loss due to compression. If the user is still active you should ask if you can overwrite the file or just upload as a new file. GPSLeo (talk) 12:59, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather the file not be altered. I see no issues with the color of the sauce. It is correct for the actual way the sauce looks, suitably red. Not orange, as in the improper correction, which also makes the cheese too yellow. Yes, I should have been asked, because there is no issue with the original colors. I should know, I ate that very chicken parm immediately after the image was taken. oknazevad (talk) 02:04, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please consider that I have a lot of activity related to the topic on English Wikipedia, and only some part of this effort is related to Commons specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kirt93 It seems requesting overrites for each .svg change going in line with each article change would be pointless and also create discrepancies when the articile and the .svg map for this articile would not be in sync.

@Jeff G.: This is not the place to request for removal of the rights. This request should be posted at an appropriate admin board with an appropriate reason.

[edit]
I mostly make two types of edits here: adding svg templates to raster diagram pages and decapitalizing common nouns in SVG files (also in raster files, if there is no vector version). Since the introduction of a new policy requiring Autopatrol rights, I can no longer routinely contribute in that second category because this requires a re-upload of an edited file. Although I only have 229 edits on Commons instead of recommended minimum of 500, none of my edits have ever been controversial. Nyq (talk) 18:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Abzeronow, thank you for your constructive feedback, I will do my best to be more active on Commons, although current re-upload restrictions prevent me from improving the existing graphics files here (lest I go though the efforts of requesting exceptions for each of them, which is not practical).

I would like to upload audios of sayings. The recordings are of women 70-80 years old. It seems to me a very valuable material. If I make mistakes, I understand being told what I did wrong and being blocked. But if I haven't made mistakes yet, why am I being penalized? Why not explain properly what can and can't be done? Pedagogy is more motivating than punishment. Mentxuwiki (talk) 18:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no intention of punishing you. But as stated, I don't think you can be trusted with the ability to upload mp3s yet. Also as stated, you do have the ability to upload other audio formats.
