Initially I would like to be able conveniently to update a quantity of illustration file descriptions, but later perhaps also category page text and gallery text. Essentially this would be for fungus illustrations, fungus species categories and fungus gallery pages (please see my recent manual contributions; it would help me to accelerate some of this work). Thank you. Strobilomyces (talk) 13:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

I have been active on Commons for several years and have ~7000 edits under my belt. I'm also a rollbacker on enwiki and I understand what is and is not vandalism. Thank you. Sportsguy17 00:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I have been ion commons for over 3 years, and I am a rollbacker on zhwiki. I can distinguish if the edits are vandalism or not. Thank you. B dash (talk) 02:42, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Question per COM:Rollback, it's "for users who need the tool"... looking over your last thousand or so edits, I can see a few uses of the "undo" function, but could you clarify why you think you need it? Note that I'm not necessarily opposing that you get the rights, I just don't really see the need (most of the time) on Commons. In fact, I operate with rollback artificially turned off most of the time. Storkk (talk) 13:39, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Fight vandalism will be a priority for sure. It would be very helpful for my upcoming project Commons Orientation Workshop and also for the other ongoing projects such as "Nabodebalay" and "The Netherlands and the world/Chinsurah" Thank you so much in advance. - IndrajitDas 14:06, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Question I've looked at the last couple thousand of your edits, and was unable to find any instances where you undid an edit (though I just searched for the automated edit summary and may have missed them if you changed the summary)... could you please spell out in more detail how Rollback would help you? Storkk (talk) 14:39, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

@Storkk:Thank you so much for asking me. You are right because you missed nothing as I didn't changed my summery. Till date, I have tried to exercise my rights honestly, which was given to me. Now I want to fight against vandalism for sure. Presently, I am associated with three projects. Part of one recent upcoming project will be on uploading session by the new users. There could be a situation, where need to be undone the destructive works. If you have any further queries, Please feel free to ask me. Thank you. - IndrajitDas 17:33, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Request for the rights of Filemover. I have done several successful rename request. I hope to contribute the Commons. NatigKrolik (talk) 12:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

You were told multiple times to stop requesting this right for a month. As this was on July 21, I suggest a block of this account for at least one week. --Didym (talk) 12:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Stop. NatigKrolik (talk) 13:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

@NatigKrolik: That post by Didym was directly in response to your action, requesting a third time. Once you stop requesting so frequently, responses should stop.   — Jeff G. ツ 13:12, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

I've made over 4000 edits on Commons, of which about 500 have been criterion-2 rename requests for files that have the default filename from Geograph Britain and Ireland. There are about 1000 more files to rename, and I think some existing filemovers may be getting fed up with all my requests. Thank you. bjh21 (talk) 16:14, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
