MasterRus21thCentury edit

I have been a member of Wikimedia Commons since November 28, 2018, but I became truly active only in the summer of 2021, taking my own photographs and uploading images from free sites. I also replaced low-resolution files with higher resolution ones until the end of October, which corresponds to the interest of the community. In this regard, I am applying for the status of a self-patrolled participant. Thank you. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 16:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MasterRus21thCentury, why did you get blocked on ruwiki? Kadı Message 16:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Kadı This is due to the fact that the quality of translations of articles left much to be desired and the Russian section of Wikipedia sought to grow much more actively (there are about 300 million native Russian speakers in the world). Moreover, until the moment of blocking on Wikipedia, I knew very little about the Foundation’s subsidiary projects.
As a result, I am actively developing Russian topics in Wikidata (the Russia wiki project was also founded) - this is the creation of new properties for various sites in the form of encyclopedias, reference books, etc. I do not lose hope of recovering, given that my range of areas on Wikipedia is extremely diverse - from journalism to history, etc. Moreover, in the spring of this year the application for unlocking was rejected.
On Wikimedia Commons, I have plans to replace photographs with high resolution ones (this applies to Russian government websites, including the website of the President of Russia kremlin.ru, which has subdomains putin.kremlin.ru and 20.kremlin.ru with high-resolution photographs). This is also a check for edits by anonymous participants, if any. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 17:02, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

源義信 edit

Hi, I've been working on Commons for years with over 40,000 edits. Recently I found that I need the right to overwrite files uploaded by other users. While I am mainly working on old photographs and sometimes paintings, I need to overwrite many images of low quality (usually from bad sources) with high-quality images from better sources. Thank you. 源義信 (talk) 13:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why did you make this overwrite with a totally different file at File:Vua Tự Đức.jpg. And even if you are the original uploader do not make major changes like you did on File:Painter Lê Thị Lựu and her husband Ngô Thế Tân in Bắc Ninh, 1935.jpg one year after the original upload. GPSLeo (talk) 09:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As for File:Vua Tự Đức.jpg, why do you think its totally different? The previous file was imported by other users from a Flickr page. The Flickr user just downloaded the same file as I uploaded later, cropped it, and made some adjustment. What I did was uploading the higher resolution original image without those improvements. 源義信 (talk) 13:44, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As for File:Painter Lê Thị Lựu and her husband Ngô Thế Tân in Bắc Ninh, 1935.jpg, firstly, I consider it as a minor change because the two versions are the same photograph while the previous one is cropped (but the subject of the image was not changed). Thus when I found the higher resolution image, I replaced the former with it. I read the guideline and did not found that there is a time limit for minor improvements (as for me it's neither substantial changes or completely unrelated files). Secondly, the file is only used in one article and the update won't affect the use of this file in the article. 源義信 (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  Comment In my opinion this is a bit nitpicky. The user clearly has a large amount of quality edits and has been here long enough to deserve a permission like autopatrolled. —MATRIX! {user - talk? - useless contributions} 17:37, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

NorthTension edit

Recently I've just been attempting to resize to selection large files (specific Inkscape command, it shrinks the transparent canvas so an image doesn't have a ton of dead transparent space, cf this file history), harmonizing color schemes of flags (i;e the Soviet flags), and reverting and reporting vandalism issues (reports are on the Wikipedia Discord). While I still do vehemently disagree with the change in rules I would like to ask for autopatrol rights to continue to do the minor tweaks and fixes I've been doing for the past few months. I do recognize that there were multiple copyright violations listed on me but those were a result of uploading on a friend's behalf (actual warnings by Yann) and then resizing some of his files after he ended up uploading them themselves (error on HapHaxion's fault that caused me to accidentally get flagged). Since I've been kind of completely wiped as a result of that rule change and other stuff going on in my life I've been taking time recently to getting an actual proper understanding of COM:L and COM:TOO with the help of Mdaniels5757 and I'd like to be able to continue contributing the way I have for the past few months.

OfficialURL 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.

SteveLLL edit

I need to update (overwrite) all road sign images in China that do not comply with the current standards after the new national standards are released.
@SteveLLL: If the new design is substantially different, you'd need to upload them as new files per Commons:Overwriting existing files. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:48, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The difference in the new standard is not significant, mainly due to the use of new fonts. On the other hand, these files are named in a specific format for template calls, and there is reason to think that these files need to be updated. Some of the existing documents comply with current standards, some use old standards, and some do not comply with any standards due to user deviations. There are so many of them (1k+) that it would be impractical to rename and change the template for every file that doesn't meet the standards.

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[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[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: 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.

Ilzolende edit

I've been working on heraldic images, with over 6000 edits. WikiProject Heraldry maintains a library of SVG coat of arms elements designed to be suitable for use in creating future coats of arms. Many of these images have issues with filesize, misplaced fills, and other common SVG editing issues. These images are frequently copied wholesale into other images, so fixing these issues is important. These issues are present in many reference tables, so overwriting them makes it significantly easier for editors to find cleaned versions. Given this, I would like autopatrol privileges to continue my work. Thank you. Ilzolende (talk) 10:24, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I frequently upload SVG versions of bitmap images, which sometimes necessitates overwriting a poorly-traced or buggy vectorisation of essentially the same image. Case-in-point, I was blocked from uploading a newer version of R_S_configuration.svg that better-resembled its PNG version. This didn't used to be the case, but apparently, Wikimedia's policy on overwriting other people's uploads was changed recently. It'd be nice if I had autopatrol rights. Thank you.

I need the right to rename files that start with "Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from". Approval from other interested parties given here. A redirect will be placed for the obsolete files. Thank you. Nowakki (talk) 02:42, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I still need to rename Sanborn maps. Why is this a problem?
All Sanborn Fire Insurance Map files are uniquely identified by: Name of Location, Year, Volume, Plate number
The person previously engaged in uploading them used none of these, but instead used Library of Congress-invented IDs:
shelf number (one per city), shelf volume, sequence number.
The old naming scheme is awkward to use (sequence number is usually not helpful when searching for a plate, a user will
have to click on a few files to narrow down where a plate is) and it is
also not the most natural way to organize the files. The year/volume/plate number scheme is used by the maps internally throughout and it is the indexing scheme one will naturally adopt when using the maps and it is also how Sanborn originally organized their work. I did not invent it.
I have already uploaded 80,000 new plates using the new naming scheme, so this is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
See User:Nowakki/test3, 19th century plates are with the old scheme, 20th century plates with the new scheme.

Mon objectif principal en obtenant et en veillant à l'exactitude des titres de contenus sur Wiki Commons est de faciliter les recherches, le classement et l'organisation des contenus visuels associés à chaque contenus. En tant que leader au sein d'une communauté et facilitateur de plusieurs projets, je m'efforce de garantir que les médias visuels sont facilement accessibles et correctement identifiés. Une structuration précise des titres permet une navigation fluide et une gestion efficace du contenu, ce qui est essentiel pour soutenir un large éventail d'utilisateurs dans la recherche et l'utilisation de ces ressources visuelles.(talk) 13:32, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    • My first reaction is that this suggests that you don't understand well how renaming works here. Normally, we do not rename files unless there is something actively wrong with the name. Before granting you the right to do renaming yourself: can you say roughly how many renames you have requested in the past, and roughly how many of those were granted? - Jmabel ! talk 22:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! I would like the file mover right because as a file uploader myself, whom often uploads photos and BSicon files, uploading files with a typo or me wanting to more accurately rename the file is currently a huge pain for me having to wait on another file mover to come by and do it for me. This problem is much more prevalent with BSicon files, because one single typo (even a letter that was supposed to be uppercase but was accidentally lowercase) ends up preventing the file from being used until the typo is fixed because of the very strict naming requirements for BSicon files. This is a massive headache for me because it can end up forcing a project to be placed temporarily on hold until the issue is resolved. I upload many BSicon and have thus made quite a few many mistakes, which has been a massive headache for me to deal with. Thank you. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 10:06, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Seems reasonable. You've got a solid track record of renames like the one you described. Have at it.   Done The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
