Commons:Requests for rights

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 an experienced user and upload a lot of audio files, largely pertaining to the voices of certain peoples. I would like to be able to upload mp3 files to reduce the work needed in this process and to be able to upload large mp3 files that cannot be converted to another file format. Furthermore, I'm currently in the process of uploading various anthems from a free site and it would make the process much easier since the files are all mp3s. Thank you.

Sound recordings have more pitfalls than images since there are multiple copyrights in play. National anthems are an area that needs caution, since due diligence on the copyright of compositions has to be done since anthems are not exempt from copyright in many jurisdictions.

Am trying to upload public domain .mp3 files from Librivox to Commons for use at Wikisource. Mårtensås (talk) 19:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Please do due diligence for non-US works as Librivox only cares about US public domain. Abzeronow (talk) 20:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently uploading icons from an icon pack under CC-BY-SA 4.0 with more than 10,000 icons in both white and black and encountering rate limit frequently. I read that autopatrolled users have much more lenient rate limits. I already uploaded more than 5,000 total images and believe that the rights can be of benefit. Thank you. 999real (talk) 04:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've been working through Category:Photographs from the White House during the Biden administration with bad file names and plan on doing the same to Category:Photographs from the White House during the Obama administration with bad file names (if I ever finish!); I've found that oftentimes, requesting another pagemover means both that I create work for other pagemovers when I could do it myself, and that I must return to the page to remove the category. As such, I'm requesting this right so I can move the file and remove the category in one go. I have ~600 edits total, among them ~100 requested filemoves; given my relatively low edit count, I understand if I need more experience. Thank you!

Renaming requests look good (and your edit count is now over 700). You've only recently started doing rename requests though (looking through RenameLink tagged ones). Abzeronow (talk) 18:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - would it be a better idea for me to continue filing rename requests for a couple months before coming back? Thanks! Staraction (talk) 21:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no rush on closing this. We can wait to see if others want to opine on this. Abzeronow (talk) 21:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I have completed some of their recent requests. They know what they are doing and it looks good. ShaanSengupta^Talk 02:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
