This is the requests and votes page, a centralized place where you can keep track of ongoing user requests, and where you can comment and leave your vote. Any user is welcome to comment on these requests, and any logged in user is welcome to vote.

When requesting rights that do not need the support of the community (e.g. filemover) please go to Commons:Requests for rights!

How and where to apply for additional user rights on CommonsEdit

All applications made on the above pages are automatically transcluded onto this page.

How to comment and voteEdit

Any logged-in user is welcome to vote and to comment on the requests below. Votes from unregistered users are not counted, but comments may still be made. If the nomination is successful, a bureaucrat will grant the relevant rights. However, the closing bureaucrat has discretion in judging community consensus, and the decision will not necessarily be based on the raw numbers. Among other things, the closing bureaucrat may take into account the strength of any arguments presented and the experience and knowledge of the commenting users. For example, the comments and votes of users who have zero or few contributions on Commons may at the bureaucrat's discretion be discounted.

It is preferable if you give reasons both for Symbol support vote.svg Support votes or Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose ones as this will help the closing bureaucrat in their decision. Greater weight is given to argument, with supporting evidence if needed, than to a simple vote.

The PhotographerEdit

Comments
  • Pictogram-voting-question.svg Question @The Photographer: Can we upload new buildings of Japan? Can we upload new buildings of Germany? Can we upload photos of the Eiffel Tower (and explain why or why not)? -- Poké95 09:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
  1. Germany. Yes, and you can see the explain here
  2. Japan. Yes, for buildings only and not artistic works except in cases governed by article 46. You can see the explain here
  3. Eiffel Tower, yes we can, however, night shots must be examined and verified that the lighting is not ordinary. You can visit Eiffel Tower related deletion requests --The Photographer (talk) 12:23, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry, volunteer do not understand about license uploading images under copyright example , normally do copyvio ignoring CC-by license including his name as the author [1]
And he is using the Flickr2Communs to bring images like: File:Mvc-697x (5270823960).jpg/ File:Dsc 3878 (5515556938).jpg (nice names for files!), and it's easy to find on those massive importations, clearly copyright violations:sample, images out of the scope: sample, we already requested him to stop, but...
So, it's not possible to give him the flag. -- RTA 13:47, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


Requests for permission to run a botEdit

Before making a bot request, please read the new version of the Commons:Bots page. Read Commons:Bots#Information on bots and make sure you have added the required details to the bot's page. A good example can be found here.

When complete, pages listed here should be archived to Commons:Bots/Archive.

Any user may comment on the merits of the request to run a bot. Please give reasons, as that makes it easier for the closing bureaucrat. Read Commons:Bots before commenting.
