[edit]
While I have been mostly active on the English Wikipedia since I created my account 11 years ago, I have about 800 edits on Commons as well. Many of those were spent on either uploading my own images, or on making regular updates on existing ones (mainly public domain charts published and maintained by the US government, like example 1 and example 2). I was about to update this file when I learned that I can no longer do this. Please allow me to continue by giving me autopatrol rights. Thank you.

Hi, I have been contributing to Wikimedia Commons for over a year, uploading a large number of works related to vexillology and heraldry, all in SVG . During my time working i found myself overwriting old files that had incorrect heraldic attributes or that had some sort of SVG related rendering errors.

[edit]
Hello. I have been making edits to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons since late 2020. At this point, I have a little less than 1,000 edits on Wikimedia. The vast majority (if not all) of my edits on this site have been with editing existing election maps (namely in the US) and uploading some of my own. For a lot of my edits to maps uploaded by others, they have been to update them with new information, replace them with more detailed boundaries, or to correct mistakes in the old versions (namely counties being marked for the wrong party). However, since the update to rules on overwriting, it has been significantly more tedious to make corrections to maps (since I have now had to request overwriting permissions for every single map I want to fix or update in some way), so I would like to request Autopatrol permissions. Thank you. PrusBis6187 (talk) 22:30, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikimedia Commons team, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to request Autopatrol permissions. I am a graphic designer and photographer, and part of my work often involves making improvements and minor changes to images and photographs, subsequently overwriting them. Having these permissions would allow me to contribute more efficiently, as without them, this action would not be possible. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.

Seeing two blocks for copyright violations (most recently in 2021) and then a subsequent copyright violation in December 2022 is concerning for me. Abzeronow (talk) 22:02, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Abzeronow, I understand your concern, and it is certainly understandable. I must honestly admit that, regarding the previous blocks, I didn't have much knowledge about licensing issues at that time. In fact, I have since been actively educating myself on the subject to avoid similar issues in the future. Regarding the December 2022 incident, I want to clarify that it was due to my lack of understanding. I took a screenshot of a render created within a video game without realizing that it infringed copyright. Although there are still aspects I don't fully grasp, my request aims to obtain permission to make minor corrections to already uploaded photos and overwrite the corresponding files.
Regardless of the decision you make, I am willing to accept it. I appreciate your understanding and support in this matter. Warm regards. CarlosEduardoPA (talk) 20:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Red Cherry

[edit]
Greetings! I have been editing on Wikipedia (almost exclusively English Wikipedia), working with Wikimedia, and uploading files to Commons since 2018. As of this writing, I have approximately 3,900 edits on the former and roughly 390 on the latter.
I would like to apply for Autopatrol Rights status for a few reasons. First of all, there is factually incorrect data in many of the files I work on (mostly in sections pertaining to elections), and I would like to correct this. Furthermore, I come across many maps with inaccurate boundaries in these categories. There are additionally many map files in PNG format that remain "unclean", for instance with noisy whitespace or inconsistent borders. I am able to fix these issues quickly with tools that can help streamline fill and text colours on these PNG images.
Given the reasons listed here, I would like to be able to overwrite existing files and replace them with higher-quality versions for these purposes. Thank you. A Red Cherry (talk) 19:10, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Hello, I would like to have the autopatrol right, as it would allow me to overwrite files with small changes. Reason I'm asking it now is because I wanted to crop the European Parliament logos. I'm mainly active on Commons with adding logos on the site, as well as categorising (my main wiki is Dutch Wikipedia). This categorising (which I often do with tools like Cat-a-lot) leads to a lot of small edits, but as Xtools says I've at least created 448 pages, I think I'm in the clear about the 500 non-botlike edits.

[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]

I frequently upload SVG versions of bitmap images, which sometimes necessitates overwriting a poorly-traced or buggy vectorisation of essentially the same image.

@Eothan: Do you have a response? Abzeronow (talk) 19:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - Yes the original is actually an photomechanical engraving (of which there are probably many version and copies in Library's and museums etc) and when first published would have been b/w. The source image is an RGB copy of the original engraving made in the C19th and printed onto albumen paper. This paper (as is the case with almost all albumen paper) has become discoloured in the highlights and leading to the yellow cast over the whole picture. 9of99 over wrote the first version with a b/w copy which they desaturated and cropped. The higher re version I uploaded is in keeping with that intent and has also been desaturated and to make the image clearer and to make sure I didn't clutter commons with multiple copies of the same image. The Kate Kelly image is an original photochemical albumen print and I used it to overwrite low res images which were poorer quality versions taken from this original carte-de-visite. As such the crop and image I uploaded is more faithful to the original than the overwritten ones. Again it didn't seem to be sensible to upload another version of what is essentially the same image (but of better quality and sourced back to the original location of the photo in the institution that stores it) to Wikicommons. Also I thought it was important to update the caption referencing and link information of the item as this may prove helpful for researchers wanting to re-use and caption the image correctly in publications outside Wikipedia.

Thank you. 源義信 (talk) 13:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[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]
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]
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]

I have been active on Commons and English Wikipedia ever since I joined the project. I have regularly made useful contributions here, be it uploading new images with correct license or nominating copyvios for deletion. Everything is going smoothly but one issue is that I can't overwrite files. The latest example being File:Inauguration of the first phase of Ayodhya Junction railway station.jpg. I also have requested to being allowed to overwrite this file. But this is not just a one time issue. I have got edit filter triggered many times while overwriting (mainly while cropping via CropTool) and have uploaded new files whereever possible. But some cases like the one mentioned above need overwriting. Therefore I am requesting this right. Maybe doesn't matter but just to inform, I have 6.5k+ edits on Enwiki and 900+ here on commons. Thank you. ShaanSenguptaTalk 11:49, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Abzeronow I believe you are taking about File:Pashupati Kumar Paras.jpg. The file I uploaded was taken from Parliament of India website. I uploaded it under GODL-India license bcoz just like many others I also thought that the work by Parliament of India is under GODL. After I got the correct info and it was deleted for copyvio, I successfully nominated so many files for speedy deletion that had same mistake. Also that was the last violation and I can assure you that there will be no violations in future from my side. ShaanSenguptaTalk 22:40, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although I've been a registered user since 2017 and still have less than 500 posts written. Unfortunately, work and life keep me from contributing more often. I discovered the new override rule while trying to fix the path error in File:Apple logo hollow.svg. It wouldn't be a big deal to just make a request, but my ongoing project is to clean up and update (when necessary) the widely used sports pictograms, where uploading a new file version would require replacing an endless list of use cases manually. My changes to these files mainly consist of cleaning up paths, slightly changing poses and sports equipment to harmonize the overall design language (i.e.: File:Tennis pictogram.svg, File:Baseball pictogram.svg). Professional respect dictates trying to retain the original design as much as possible, but I also make more fundamental changes to enhance legibility or replace obviously clumsy design (i.e.: File:Gliding pictogram.svg, File:Bokator pictogram.svg).

[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]
@MasterRus21thCentury, why did you get blocked on ruwiki? Kadı Message 16:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[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]

Now that I have access to a track maker, I would like to be able to upload new versions of tropical cyclone track maps as either a new advisory comes out or the best track is released which requires overwriting the existing image to do so.

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.

My main concern right now is potentially getting actioned for any type of copyright violation after I fix a file. I'm not sure of the best way to word it but I don't really understand why I can get actioned for resizing a file that's a potential copyright violation when I myself did not upload the file or set it's license; I cannot check every single file, I literally trawl the latest SVGs on Wikimedia and pick out ones that got uploaded that I can fix.
According to one of Yann's messages on my talk page I'm on my last warning and I have absolutely no desire to get blocked from editing because I shrunk an image by a couple puxels. Is there a way I can either appeal or get that off my account so I don't have to worry about this? NorthTension (talk) 00:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: Abzeronow (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The warning is for previous issues. If there isn't any more issue, the warning is not valid any more.
As for a specific example, why did you upload File:Logo of the PIT.svg from [1] where there is no indication of a free license at the source? Yann (talk) 17:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because I uploaded it on behalf of Farukh Umar who vectorized it, it got deleted on his end too and this was already dealt with months ago. NorthTension (talk) 17:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since it doesn't seem like there's an outstanding issue anymore then sure I'll take it. Just to make absolutely sure since I haven't seen anything saying otherwise, harmonizing color schemes or updating them is covered as fine under COM:OVERWRITE, right? There's the "minor and uncontroversial color correction" mentioned but I don't know how much of that covers SVG files, @Abzeronow. NorthTension (talk) 03:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As long as the color changes are minor, yes, harmonizing is allowed.

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]
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. SteveLLL (talk) 16:40, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Old signs that have been used should be renamed if necessary, as the existing naming convention does not contain any time information.—— SteveLLL (talk) 07:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For national , provincial , county and township highways that only contain numbers and will only change according to sign standards, I will rename the file and change the template that calls it after the upload is completed. But for expressway signs that contain textual additional information and may change over time, I would replace the file to keep it current, since the newest sign cannot be determined by a priori naming rules. SteveLLL (talk) 08:15, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is clearly stated in the description of w:zh:Template:China_Expwy_Name page that the producer needs to produce the sign image according to the GB5768.2 standard. I think replacing images that don't meet the standards is the way to go. SteveLLL (talk) 11:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working alongside some heraldic artists (like Fenn-O-maniC) on improving Finnish municipal coats of arms vectors that were drawn in the program of the Finnish Wikiproject Heraldry. I feel that some of the current vectors are not up to a certain standard – eg. the shading of metal is done with two copies of the main figure, colored black and white, and offset a few pixels—instead of having shaded outlines that resemble an emboss, or they have issues with the shield shape like the coat of arms of Kemiö – so my aim is to redraw them as faithfully to the original grant while maintaining symmetry and heraldic rules. As an example, I would like to replace the previously mentioned coat of arms with these vectors. The original to compare with.

Hello, we are a non-profit organization which organizes concerts of Lieder and an international Lied course in Barcelona. For the first time, this year, we asked our students to agree to upload the recording of their last day concert to commons to contribute to the free knowledge of Lieder. We want to upload, now, these mp3 files which are pieces of music in the public domain only. Thus we would need to get the autopatrol rights.

Nrco0e

[edit]
Hello, I upload astronomy diagrams and telescope images here. I occasionally overwrite astronomy size comparison graphics like File:Quaoar, Earth & Moon size comparison.png to update sizes of objects depicted in them (Quaoar for this example here). In this sort of case, I believe an overwrite is preferred over creating a new file for the following reasons: this size comparison graphic style is widely used for different other objects as you see in Category:Earth size comparisons using The Blue Marble, and that size estimates can change frequently as new studies come out, which would be a hassle to deal with if I had to upload new files separately instead of overwriting the same file.
Beyond size comparison graphics, I also overwrite low-resolution spacecraft/telescope images just to fix their resolution or cropping. For example, this image of Calypso (File:PIA12598.jpg) was originally uploaded as a low-resolution thumbnail, but I've replaced it with a higher-resolution version from the same source claimed in the file. Furthermore, there are plenty of old (uploaded pre-2010) images that were user-cropped but are not centered correctly; for example File:Closest View of Helene.jpg, which I would like to recrop because it is currently shifted a tad too high up.

I would like to be able upload slightly improved versions (e.g. grayscale images with no color information or replace distorted versions) of existing files. Thank you. –Noha307 (talk) 14:57, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Changes from sepia to grayscale should always be done as a new file. File:North American Mustang IA 3-view line drawing.png probably should have been three different uploads. Abzeronow (talk) 17:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I interpreted minor and uncontroversial color correction, noise reduction, perspective correction, etc. on the overwriting guidelines as supporting the replacement in certain limited cases. It was "minor" because 1) the original image would not have had the sepia color, 2) it did not meaningfully alter the information conveyed by the image (e.g. it was already otherwise black and white), and 3) it was performed on images that were not intended as a "master" copy the goal of which was preservation, but instead an excerpt that was intended for illustration. In other words, the purpose of the image was much more about the factual data that it contained, rather than the exact replication of the content. For example, a complete aircraft manual (e.g. CG-4A manual) should not be color corrected, but a single figure (North American Mustang IA 3-view line drawing) extracted from it could. This justification would not apply to most single pages (e.g. Renault manual cover) as well.
As to why I elected not to uploaded a separate file in, for instance, the case of the Mustang IA manual, it would result in unnecessary "clutter" on Wikimedia Commons and create additional complexity due to the need to link multiple files to each other while also differentiating between them with qualifiers in the file name. Each step in the editing process was included because, while there was not sufficient difference to justify separate files, the was still a benefit to having older versions of the file available. In the case of many of the aircraft 3-views, I not only edited the images, but also performed the scans that created them myself, so it would have been just as possible to upload only the final result. In any event, if the above is an incorrect reading and does not support the case of overwriting other individual's uploads, it is my understanding that users are granted more leeway (as is evidenced by the respect content creators section of the overwriting guidelines and rationale #1 of the file renaming guidelines) when it comes to the images they create themselves. –Noha307 (talk) 21:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Hello, I've been editing Wikipedia and uploading files to Commons for over 9 months at this point, on occasion I've had to replace files that already exist to update them when it would have made just as much sense to update them, but without Autopatrol rights I've been forced to create new ones with new names. I've read Commons:Overwriting existing files, and I understand that Autopatrol rights are required to upload new versions of pre-existing files, so I'd like Autopatrol rights to be able to do so, meaning there's less likelihood that different languages of the same article end up using different files with different maintainers (and one of which tends to be out of date or even abandoned).

    I edited and uploaded as User:The- from 2013 (2005 on Wikipedia) to 2020, when I lost my account login and was unable to recover it, so had to make a new account. This means that I am now unable to upload new versions of images that I uploaded under my old account without going through the "request an exception" page. I am planning to make a series of edits to dozens of images that I uploaded with my old account (election maps) and it would be extremely laborious to go through the "request an exception" page for every single one of these images, and every time I want to make a change to an image I uploaded with my old account in future. I asked at the help desk whether I could have permission to overwrite images uploaded by my old account, and I was the only way this could be done would be to grant me Autopatrol rights, so I am requesting that here.
    I have been cautioned for an edit war on Wikimedia Commons once, over two years ago, but I learnt from the experience.

For more details see my original request for advice. For work I’ve been doing recently to improve coverage of the United Nations, see this infobox template and this module I created (with documentation). (The template uses the maps I want to improve.)

    I make frequent edits to SVGs, mainly updating, optimizing, and refining. Recently, I've been trying to change up some site logos for deployment onto wikis, but I'm unable to make even minor changes to files (e.g. resizing) due to the overwrite limitation. It'd be a great help to have autopatrol so that I don't have to ask for permission to overwrite many different SVG files, be it site logos or other SVGs that I work on. Thank you!

Yesterday, I fixed File:MLM flag.svg and File:Mad Pride flag.svg: both of these had been wrappers of raster graphics. There are dozens more like them (e.g. all of Category:Proposed aboriginal flags of Australia), and I think it would be easier and faster for if I could overwrite clearly bad SVGs without having to wait on permission via the request system.

    There was a copyvio earlier this year. And folksongs and stories have to be in the public domain as far as your recordings (folksongs definitely being a tricky area as User:Jmabel said recently.) Have you already researched the copyright status of the works you recorded? Abzeronow (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I have. Ekpeye folksongs and folk stories have been passed on for ages as oral tradition from parent to child. There are restrictions regarding the recordings which we (community) did. UMASOYE (talk) 17:39, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    FWIW, I can confirm that Umasoyee is being filtered from uploading MP3s: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=Umasoyee.
    I only see one upload of theirs that was ever deleted specifically as a copyvio: File:Ada Omo Daddy.jpg was deleted as a promo poster. Also, File:Etá (Ekpeye wrestling).webm was deleted for lack of license, no idea what the story was on that. Their only other deletion, File:Black Hunter.jpg, was a scope issue (an AI image), and they were quite gracious about it when someone said it was out of scope. That's out of 100+ uploads, the rest of which look good offhand.
    @Umasoyee: can you explain a little better about the copyright status on the material you want to upload? I presume that the material is old enough to not have copyright issues, but could you confirm that? Are you the videographer? Have the performers signed some sort of release covering their copyrights (because it seems to me that otherwise you can't offer a license for their work)? What license do you intend to offer? I know this may seem like a bit of an interrogation, but the couple of things that got deleted don't fill me with confidence that you fully get the complexity of licensing materials other than simple photographs. I'd like to grant the relevant rights, but there is a very good reason we don't usually let less experienced users upload MP3s, because so many get it wrong.
    Please ping me if replying, I don't usually track this page but Abzeronow pulled me into the discussion. - Jmabel ! talk 20:52, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Jmabel: thank you for looking into this.
    Concerning my recent upload Etá (Ekpeye Wrestling) that was flagged for lack of license it was due to a technical error on my part, I uploaded that last video via video2commons and had not updated all the fields before hitting publish. When I logged in to commons to update the missing fields. I saw the video had already been flagged for deletion despite making the update.
    I have now re-uploaded the video with the license. The case of the poster was a mistake on my part (didn’t have adequate knowledge then) same for the AI image (actually generated by me), it was supposed to be a temporary image to be deleted immediately as I was facilitating a wikicommons training and needed to demonstrate how uploads are done, my bad.
    Regarding the MP3 materials which I plan on uploading they are indeed old enough to be in the public domain amd free to use. I am the recorder of the folkstories and songs which I intend to upload. I have the consent of the storytellers to share their work under the creative commons license.
    I intend to upload the files under the CC BY SA 4.0 license with the following attribution, “this audio features storytelling by…..”
    I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your attention to this matter. UMASOYE (talk) 21:59, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello everyone could you take a look at this thread please?@Abzeronow @Iwaqarhashmi@Jmabel looking forward to your feedback. UMASOYE (talk) 02:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Umasoyee: Are you saying you uploaded the same file instead of filing an undeletion request? - Jmabel ! talk 02:53, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jmabel if you’re referring to the ‘eta’ file yes. I didn’t know how to file the undeletion. UMASOYE (talk) 07:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Umasoyee: Commons:Undeletion requests.
    Umasoyee, I don't want to impede you doing what sound like potentially valuable uploads, but I'm sure you can see from the above why I hesitate to assume you completely know the ins and outs of what you are doing. The reason we don't let new users upload MP3s is because when we didn't have a rule like that, a high percentage of MP3s new users uploaded had problems, often ones that meant we could not keep the files. So I'm going to make a suggestion (Pinging @Abzeronow to make sure this also makes sense to him). We grant the right to Umasoyee, but with a specific understanding that Umasoyee will upload three MP3 files, and then contact Abzeronow and myself (Jmabel) to review those before uploading any more, so that if something here does not look right to either of us, we have a chance to head off any big problem, and we have an early chance to show Umasoyee anything that needs to be done differently. Would everyone agree to that? - Jmabel ! talk 07:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you @Jmabel for your consideration. This is fine by me, if @Abzeronow also supports. UMASOYE (talk) 09:42, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Agree this is exactly what we should do! I couldn't agree more. Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 13:59, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Jmabel's proposal. @Jmabel: I'll grant the right shortly. Abzeronow (talk) 17:53, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd like to upload new versions of election maps in the 2024 United States elections, all of which were uploaded by users other than me. In Maryland, the state that I've focused most of my edits, ballots are still being counted and the percentage margins in each county are being updated daily, and I'm currently stuck having to ask the person who uploaded the maps for each election to update them for me.

     Oppose lots of copyvios. Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 07:48, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Unless I'm misinterpreting something, the copyvios I uploaded to Commons were at the very beginning of my time editing on Wikipedia (almost three years ago) and at a time I didn't fully understand copyright issues that affect the site. Y2hyaXM (talk) 13:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The most recent copyvios were deleted less than a year ago. Would you mind telling me what has changed since then? Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The audio files that were deleted in December 2023 were clips from congressional hearings uploaded on C-SPAN. I saw similar clips being used on the pages of some U.S. representatives and figured these kinds of clips were in the public domain. They were not. Older than that were some images I uploaded of Joe Vogel, a Maryland state delegate who personally emailed me the images for use on Wikipedia, but were deleted by a VRT editor because they deemed that the images didn't have sufficient permissions. Y2hyaXM (talk) 14:02, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Since these file deletions, I've generally avoided asking state legislators for images to use on Wikipedia and have made sure that the audio clips I upload to Wikimedia are in the public domain, whether those clips be from videos uploaded by U.S. representatives onto their social media platforms (PD-USCongress) or from within the U.S. House chamber itself. Y2hyaXM (talk) 14:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, thank you for answering. I'll leave it up to @Abzeronow since they're an admin and usually handle these requests. Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 14:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It sounds like they've learned from their mistakes. I can grant this right temporarily if you're still concerned about copyvios. Abzeronow (talk) 17:21, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think I'm too concerned about the copyvios anymore since it's been quite a while now. I was convinced by their answers and wanted to get your take on it. They've made lots of good contributions and deserve a chance. It's totally up to you whether you want to grant them autopatrol temporarily or permanently. Best, Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 18:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ✓ Done For 3 months. Please reapply around when the right expires so it can be made permanent. Abzeronow (talk) 18:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you! I could re-apply to make it permanent at any time, yeah? Not sure how soon I'm going to need to overwrite someone else's maps again, especially when Maryland should probably finalize their margins by the end of next week. Y2hyaXM (talk) 20:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You can reapply any time you want in February (and you can do so by messaging me.) Abzeronow (talk) 20:14, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
