One of a great many images which I’ve recently requested be renamed

On Wikimedia Commons, unlike on the English (and some other) Wikipedias, moving a page from one title to another is not something any registered user can do. To rename an image file requires higher-than-standard access levels, which currently are held by under two thousand accounts.

Applying for these rights – or nominating someone else – turned out to be pretty simple. Another user, Shaan Sengupta, nominated me on the basis of how many requests I’d recently made for the renaming of British government Flickr photographs. This nomination was approved almost immediately. I was also – though this had not been requested – granted Autopatrol rights.

This present comes slightly late for my eleventh anniversary as an editor, but is welcome nonetheless.
