File mover permission?
Does this wiki have the "file mover" userright? If so, could it be granted to me? I sometimes need to move image files such as File:Building-Meridian-Junk In The Trunk II.png to File:Building-Meridian-Bia's Box.png (related to article Bia's Box). Right now, as you can see, I just save it to my computer and upload a new copy, then speedy-delete the old one, but that just creates work for an admin to clean up after me, and doesn't preserve file history. "file mover" was something introduced recently on English Wikipedia and others, to overcome this limitation. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Chupchup 21:59, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 * Ahoy! No, we don't have that feature available to everyone yet and if we did, that would be something best discussed with the librarians using the Help_desk. A good alternative in the meantime, would be to upload a new image (if needed) and use Misnamed_image to indicate the correct name it should have. --Clotho 18:08, 3 May 2013 (PDT)

As per this conversation, I explained to Chupchup that what I was doing was in accordance with procedure. And now, he's trying to start a fight with me again. -- Franklincain (t/c) 14:32, 14 July 2013 (PDT)
 * I object to this extreme characterization of my edits which were made in good faith and intended to be constructive, in that they retain valuable historical information and preserve the integrity of the encyclopedia. Furthermore, numerous discussions have been held without achieving consensus.

I have engaged Franklincain at every opportunity; nobody else has offered an opinion except for Fannon, who is an inactive contributor; this is why I chose to bring the matter to Faulkston when I noticed it.

 * For starters, let's please not take this personal. I will look into this in detail in the next day or two. However, the best approach is to bring this up in the YPPedia community forums and reach a consensus before proceeding. --Clotho 20:34, 14 July 2013 (PDT)
 * I have done so. Thank you. Chupchup 08:16, 15 July 2013 (PDT)

numerous duplicate image files, using wrong filename format...
As documented here (ref: Ippolitos and serpents)... -- Franklincain (t/c) 21:23, 13 March 2014 (PDT)
 * Keeping an eye on that. To report to the administrators, please take a look at this page. --Clotho 20:16, 14 March 2014 (PDT)
