Hello, I found some classic Brazilian samba songs available in the public domain through the Moreira Salles Institute. I would like to upload them, they are in .mp3 format.Thank you. Mtvdanilo (talk) 13:07, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Sound recordings are often trickier than other media because of multiple copyrights. In the case of this 1941 sound recording, Dizem que sou um mau rapaz, the composition may be public domain (would need confirmation on who composer was). Francisco Alves died in 1952 so his performance rights would be expired. So it does indeed appear to be public domain in Brazil. But since 1941 sound recordings are still protected in the United States until 2042, they aren't PD in the US yet. Abzeronow (talk) 18:13, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

@Abzeronow stale for a month. A gentle reminder to take a call on this one. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 09:09, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request autopatrol rights so that I can update the File:Betty Ford.gif with a higher resolution file I have found from the White House Historical Association website. While the file on the website itself is in the .jpeg format I currently have it converted to a .gif format to conform with the file requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LosPajaros (talk • contribs) 04:22, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @LosPajaros, you could do that by a request at COM:OWR. The only problem one can have with granting you this right is the long history of redlinks in your talk page archives, though the last batch is 9 months old. Can you tell us that you've understood where things went wrong for you back then? Shaan Sengupta^Talk 04:31, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I've enabled overwriting on the file (although I'd suggest uploading a png version of this file too). You had three blocks in 2021, and some more recent deletions over sound files that weren't actually from federal employees. So I am feeling cautious about this request.

Hi, I would like to request autopatrol rights so that I can upload recordings of myself, such as saying Vietnamese phrases like "không có đậu phộng", which will go to English Wikivoyage.

Your edit count is a bit low. You can use .ogg or .flac for recordings but I think you'd be trustworthy enough to be able to upload mp3s. So I'll just wait a bit until you're over 200 edits. Abzeronow (talk) 01:32, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I'm creating updated tropical cyclone tracking maps with new colors and I would like to request autopatrol rights. This will allow me to efficiently update my works and overwrite the older color versions created by other users. I'd also like to help maintain file pages by removing redundant "=={{int:filedesc}}==" code for greater reader clarity. What's more, I want to help update the path of currently active tropical cyclones. I have already made more than 500 edits. I would be grateful for your consideration of this permission to support my creation and contributions. Thank you. Leonardo Cirrus (talk) 01:49, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

More than 500 on enwiki, not here. Your edit count here is 164. I'll keep this open for a while. Abzeronow (talk) 01:56, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

@Leonardo Cirrus its not just 500 edit count but 500 useful non-botlike edits. Keep this in mind. Racing to the count won't help. We need to see both quality and quantity. Also for now if you want to overwrite any files, you can request at COM:OWR. Thank you. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 09:06, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

I am seeking rights to overwrite "Kit body" style uploads on WikiCommons. I create my own designs representing Association Football kits for display on the Wikipedia pages of Association Football Clubs, as well correct designs from other users to allow for a more accurate and truer depiction. I am therefore seeking Autopatrol rights to continue my work. Thank you. ZephyrTurtle14 (talk) 23:06, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Edit count is still a bit low, everything else looks fine. Abzeronow (talk) 23:46, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I'm mainly active on Portuguese Wikipedia (rollbacker and autopatrolled) and have been uploading free-license images here, mostly from Flickr (CC BY-SA 4.0) and some original photos. I know Commons policies and which free licenses are accepted, and I'd like to request autopatrol rights here to upload more than 4 Flickr images at once to streamline the process. Thanks! heylenny (^talk/_edits) 03:44, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

You were blocked a year ago for copyright issues (some of which related to Flickr). A few DRs relating to AI images recently but those shouldn't affect your request. Abzeronow (talk) 02:36, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: The only DR I got wrong was the 'Supertrump' AI image because it was clearly derivative work (edited movie poster), but I marked that one G7 myself later. About the block back then, I believe it was a communication error, but it was quickly clarified and unblocked the next day by DarwIn. heylenny (^talk/_edits) 04:18, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

I want to upload improved new versions of existing files. Weeks ago I had tried to upload a higher-resolution version of GillrayBritannia.jpg, but that didn't work and I wasn't permitted to (thankfully since my change would've been misguided and likely reverted anyway), so I just wound up uploading it here.
Now I want to upload an improved cut of En-us-you're2.ogg, but still mayn't, which is inconvenient. I need those rights so that I can readily upload better versions of files in the future, whenever necessary and appropriate. To evaluate my right- and trustworthiness, have a look at my 1000+ edits on Wiktionary and Wikipedia. (In fact, I had been motivated to editing and improving that .ogg audio file while browsing the you're entry and casually listening to the pronunciations.)
Thank you.
— Bytekast (talk) 21:59, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

only 22 edits here, I'd be willing to grant to you at 200. What do you mean by "an improved cut"? (I could add the template to the file that allows overwriting). Abzeronow (talk) 01:31, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Aw come on! Don't my global edits count towards that? Aren't they enough? It will take a long time for me to reach the 200 mark here! I almost never edit here. My focuses are the dictionary first, then the encyclopedia. *sigh* Anyway, by "improved cut" I meant this. It's an end-trimmed OGG, now compare with the original. Sounds more professional and pleasing now! Bytekast (talk) 01:56, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

The guideline is 500, I'm taking your global edits into account when I say 200. Anyway, I've added the template to the file so you may overwrite it now. Abzeronow (talk) 02:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Oh! All right then… Thank you! Bytekast (talk) 02:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I usually update national parliamentary diagrams if there are changes to parties, as well as planning to update outdated government seals and logos and wish to do so without individually requesting on COM:OWR. I would like to update for instance File:20th House of Representatives composition.svg, with a formerly independent member joining a national party, and that there are four vacant seats currently. Thank you. FiveGeekabytes (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been editing templates and modules in many wikis for years (sv:wikt:Modul:bjform), and I would like to do such edits here whenever need arises. There is no single template or module that I intend to edit frequently. Protected edit requests frequently take long time to process, and they constitute one of several backlogs on this wiki.

I've only requested 79 file moves so far and I would like to do a lot more, but I don't want to flood admins and filemovers with requests, which is why I've ended up only requesting moves sporadically. But since I'm obviously interested in correcting and (if needed) improving file names, I believe I should make myself useful instead of shying away from it. I've read Commons:File renaming and related policies, and will be returning to them. Thank you! Sinigh (talk) 18:12, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Requested a couple of renamings before, but only today noticed the considerable backlog in the respective maintenance category. I read and understood the guidelines and would like to work on this backlog. Thank you. Tkarcher (talk) 08:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Tkarcher thank you for applying. I can see just one renaming request from you, that too just before applying for this permission. Can you point us to more (if there are). Even that one is of a minor spelling mistake suggested by the uploader as you said there. If this is the case and you dont have more than one RR, I would suggest you gain some experience by making a few and then come back. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 12:56, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hm. I also can't find any previous ones right now, but admittedly, this was years ago, so either they were not marked with the respective tags back then, or I did it without being logged in. Either way: I requested the renaming of five additional files today to (hopefully) prove I've understood the guidelines and criteria. --Tkarcher (talk) 11:08, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
