File mover (add request)


Long time constructive and trusted editor who has uploaded files in the past. I do a lot of wikifying existing and new articles. Would like to help with renaming files. I have read the Wikipedia:Image file names and accepts its guidelines. Takamaxa (Talk) 09:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Your last upload was more than three years ago, and nearly all your uploads are from 2006. Is there a reason you're interested in moving files now? Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 10:21, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Feezo, I was wikifying articles and do come across some images which I thought could do with some renaming to make them more descriptive. Yes I did upload those photos in 2006 and I have understood the WP:IUP and copyright policies back then. I thought I could offer my time and experiences to help out with image renaming if there was a backlog. However, if you think I'm not suitable for this right. That is OK. --Takamaxa (Talk) 13:11, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In 2006, I still have two images I've uploaded with generic names. It would be nice if I could I could rectify the names, e.g. P1020257.JPG and P1020296.JPG. --Takamaxa (Talk) 13:21, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was just wondering if there's a particular reason you're interested in acquiring file mover now; I don't have any concerns that you'll misuse it. I'm also impressed that you noticed the old generic names —  Done. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 16:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I recently became a file mover on commons. I have uploaded about 100 fair use audio clips and have also uploaded other files to WP. I would like to correct some naming issues I have had. TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:52, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
