The existing version runs about 3% too fast. It it also edited so that the last line is taken from the second repetition from the original recording, but the rest from the first. I would like to replace it with the recording at the correct speed and of superior quality from the Sound Archive of the National and University Library of Iceland.

Hi. I made improvements to these maps similar to my 2024 and 2020 changes:
I made a new layout that:

1. is more compact (the old map has a lot of unused space on the left side due to the oversized legend)
2. bilingual
3. dim out the unused hues in the legend
4. changed the color of borders to a very subtle light grey instead of white
5. fixed the inset boxes of Kinmen and Matsu which didn't align
6. removed some hidden unused shapes in the background
7. adding 85-90, 90-95, 95-100, and sub 50 percentiles
8. color scheme consistency

I've been able to find a source, https://archive.org/details/dictionnaireinfe00coll_1/page/146/mode/2up , (also public domain, of course) from which I can extract much higher quality images, in which the subtle line work of Caim is much more clearly visible. The new versions won't be perfect quality, but they will be an improvement. I'd also like to note that the original image has a white background but my new versions would have an old-paper-beige background, in case this is a problem; but I don't think it will be a problem, since they are both supposed to be pictures from a book, anyway.

This file, relatively popular around Wikipedia and, as a result of that, around the Internet as a whole, is a terrible reproduction of the flag in question, from bad alignment of corners to wrong colours to wrong flag aspect ratio. Even the sources cited by the authors of the original file, World Flag Database and CRW Flags — the latter of which includes a mockup drawn by the president of APDR himself —, show the correct flag. I have no idea how such sloppy work managed to stay up for this long. I made a better reproduction at File:Flag of Réunion (APDR proposal).svg and substituted it on a couple of key pages, but the better option would be to just update this file outright.

Allow overwriting of File:France (1945-1949).png

Hi !

This image contains a mistake. Until 1962, Algeria was juridically part of France (it was not a state according to International Law), while Morrocco and Tunisia were protectorates (they were states with rights limited by a treaty). Therefore, Algeria should be the same color than European France — same as on the first image of File:Enlargement_of_the_European_Union_77.gif, for instance. I would like to overwrite it.

While looking at this, I noticed {{Logo history}}, which is not a template I have come across before. I am curious if this is a soft "don't overwrite" or a hard "don't overwrite" (I could possibly accommodate the former, but not the latter) @GPSLeo: Abzeronow (talk) 19:23, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
As it is explicitly placed I would assume it is meant as a hard do not overwrite message. GPSLeo (talk) 07:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
But who decides that this file cannot be overwritten? Just because of that of template? Especially since there was already a change in the file history.

Request to overwrite files

I found some better file of Austrian actress Katharina Schratt, I would like to overwrite existing files of worse quality. When will I be able to overwrite files without having to ask permission every time? It's really demoralizing and makes me want to collaborate with Wikipedia :( PancoPinco (talk) 20:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The current policy exists because users keep ignoring our Overwriting guidelines. You have at least three warnings about that on your talk page, and one as recent as November. Anyway, which files do you want to make changes to, and what changes do you wish to make to them? Abzeronow (talk) 20:36, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
The files are the ones I just edited by adding author and source. What can or should I do to get the permit again? But you too with the rules!!! Too long and boring to read PancoPinco (talk) 20:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
You can make a request at COM:RFR for the autopatrol flag. Rules exist to set guidelines and to minimize conflict, please familiarize yourself with the overwriting guidelines at COM:OW. Abzeronow (talk) 20:49, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much. I'm not one to break the rules, but I would like, if I can, to recommend making the rules simpler, at least for me it's difficult to remember, I'm starting to reach an age where things are forgotten. Do I have permission to insert the higher quality images I requested? PancoPinco (talk) 20:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
I have to add the template manually to files for this. I'd need a link to start the process, otherwise I'd have to search for it. Abzeronow (talk) 17:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Unsure of the procedure for this one. The image was uploaded by a bot, and it looks like it was digitally treated to increase the contrast level, which isn't reflected anywhere in the file's information. The comment in File history says it comes from https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2802a054-d0bc-2d22-59b9-4ada29f2359c/full/full/0/default.jpg, but the actual source is https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/f117b976-3897-fbbd-7a1f-ac8a5ccbfa51/full/!3000,3000/0/default.jpg, or https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/f117b976-3897-fbbd-7a1f-ac8a5ccbfa51/full/full/0/default.jpg. Feels like one of them will eventually be nominated for deletion if the untreated image is uploaded as a separate file. ·muitafruita (talk) 18:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@Multichill: since they run that bot. Abzeronow (talk) 18:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
@Muitafruita: the file came from https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2802a054-d0bc-2d22-59b9-4ada29f2359c/full/full/0/default.jpg , nowhere else so please don't do any incorrect assumptions because you might see a different file now at https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2802a054-d0bc-2d22-59b9-4ada29f2359c/full/full/0/default.jpg . Museum websites change all the time, logic changes and new files get uploaded to museum websites. At the time of the upload, that is what was available. And no, we don't delete files because another version exists.
@Abzeronow: should uploaded under a new filename because it looks like its a different photo of the same painting. Multichill (talk) 17:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 Not done per Multichill's comments. Please upload as a new file. Abzeronow (talk) 18:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
@Multichill So then they replaced the previous image with another with the exact same resolution, presumably because the colors are closer to the real deal. Both photographs look virtually identical save the difference I noted, but looking at them closely now they do end on slightly different parts of the painting. ·muitafruita (talk) 20:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I've made a new version of this Polish road sign that is more accurate then the version marked as "current". My version of the sign is completely based on official specimen drawing available in Polish law acts (Dz.U. z 2019 r. poz. 2311). Please add the exception so I could update the file.

PS: Where can I correctly make a request for necessary rights to be able to overwrite already uploaded SVG files of Polish road signs? My intention is to remake the SVG files, if the specific file needs it, accordingly to the official specimens in referenced earlier law act but requesting every time to add the exception that would allow me to overwrite a file would severely impede this, as majority of the drawings of Polish road signs are uploaded by other users.

I think they're probably below ToO, as they only combine simple letters with a well-known pre-existing symbol (hammer and sickle).

This is a simple map of the 151 electoral divisions (constituencies) of the Australian House of Representatives that I uploaded today. I'm requesting to allow overwriting so any user can translate this file so it becomes available in different languages. However, when the currently ongoing federal redistribution for the next federal election is finalised, a new file will be uploaded (which will also be free for anyone to translate) and this one should remain for historical purposes. The redistribution will change the boundaries and seat totals in NSW, Victoria and WA, and it will slightly change the boundaries of the two NT seats, however these boundaries will be shown on a different file when finalised.

Any multilingual users who are reading this are more than welcome to translate the file to make it more accessible to users whose first language isn't English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoliticsMaps (talk • contribs) 04:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

For this image context, the pink lines are unfinished roads, and blue lines are finished roads - currently opened.

@Spesh531 I suggest you simply let me know what the changes are and I can edit the file myself? That would be simpler than requesting an overwrite? The reason this is better is because the SVG is an export from the original vector software (Xara) that includes the fonts. The SVG only contains lines. XrysD TALK 18:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
@XrysD: , I've granted you the autopatroller right since you're clearly an experienced enough user. Spesh531, I think you should take up XrysD on their offer. Abzeronow (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
@XrysD I originally had the edit in Inkscape, but took my edited file into Notepad to adjust the code to be (nearly) identical to the file currently on wiki. The only issues are Groups 8 & 10. Instead of giving every coordinate, Inkscape does the difference in X and Y from the previous point. These two groups are the two right-center field numbers of 380 and 370. Here is what I intended to upload: File:CitiFieldDimensionsWiki.svg (once this discussion of uploading to your file is finalized, I will request a deletion of this one). I used your method of using Google Earth (at least per your description in File:FenwayParkDimensions.svg) to get the dimensions, however I added an image overlay to Google Earth of an image from 2023 opening day to get the current dimensions of the outfield (as well as the near-circular but not circular area around home plate). I used the current aerial imagery to adjust the entire ballpark except for right field, as these are the only changes since you uploaded the file in 2019. (Oh btw, that weird little notch by the 370 does exist. Between physically being at Citi Field and using multiple video clips and pictures from the 2023 season, I can assure you that's there). Spesh531(talk, contrib., ext) 21:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
@Spesh531, thanks for the detailed explanation. I've merged your changes into my original source file, re-exported the SVG and uploaded to Commons.

Hi Abzeronow,
This is the source academic map: https://djnaploja.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/magyar-kirc3a1lysc3a1g-xiii-sz.jpg

I streamlined the given mark-up, removed useless Inkscape-attributes and optimised the source-code.

Thanks muchly! As said, file needed source-improvements, now it's down to only 708 Bytes, from 3 KByte before.
See, someone at work once used a SVG from Commons on our site locally (which was heavily corrupted/invalid), and due to the corrupt nature, the SVG-file let the site's parser go berserk and tax the engine heavily with huge CPU-utilisation – It took about a week figuring why our server's site was constantly giving visitors 500s. Ever since then, I'm always eager to fix given SVGs and other vectors, to remove parse errors and check for validation, especially the ones which are often suspiciously huge and have embedded bitmaps integrated .. Since every flaw eliminated, is a happy and speedy server!♥ … and I know that a single flaw/error while parsing can kill the site. Smartcom5 (Any thoughts?) 23:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I guess I will contact the author.
Yes, that is indeed what it says, "do not overwrite if it is a controversial or contested change" rather than an improvement. The thing is, in the previous versions including the original, none of them depicts Olivença as a Portuguese territory. And as such, the user who uploaded the latest version made a "controversial or contested change", without even notifying the border change, but rather stating that he "fixed issues with the ocean and the outlines". Isn't there an issue with doing that? That user was not following the guidelines, he did not upload the altered file under a new name, just like the rules command. 2A02:9130:FC0C:8B82:680B:E2FF:FEF3:B985 19:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

It appears to be a historical photograph. Maybe you can explain what you mean by out of proportion further? Abzeronow (talk) 17:18, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
As i wrote, the picture is in a wrong height/length ratio, so the locomotive appears to long (stretched). If you look for this picture of the same type of loco, you can spell the difference - it has round wheels ;) (circles instead of ellipses)... Hattori 15 (talk) 18:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Hmm, the wheels do appear to be a bit big, but comparing the two, the locomotive body seems to be correct in proportion. Abzeronow (talk) 18:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
ähm, no - it is not in proportion, it look's 10 % or so longer - compare whit this usage. Hattori 15 (talk) 18:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
@GPSLeo: to check if this is in proportion. Abzeronow (talk) 17:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
I also think this is somehow distorted. But I am unsure if it because of the technical limitations of the camera or if it was accidentally distorted by the original uploader. In case if the first reason I think a corrected version should better be uploaded as a new version. In the other case overwriting should be fine here. GPSLeo (talk) 18:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
I don't know it for sure either, but the technique of taking pictures was in former times somewhat better than nowadays - optical systems are known for a very long time. And to get such a distorted image just with an optical lense system would be very complex and unlikely. In comparison digital images or even more digitized ones are not very seldom out of ratio and it is very, very easy to make such a failure...
I have no problem with uploading the other version (in a little bit better resolution, but still not the best quality), but as the image is only used twice and in bad resolution - i would say there is no big loss if this version would be overwritten. But as you like - i just want to close this case and move on ;). Hattori 15 (talk) 18:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

When Awesomecat713 added transparency to this image, they did so in a somewhat ill-fitting way. There are transparent gray and white pixels around the edges of the "A" on the right, causing the edges of that character to look very ugly if you view the image on a non-white background (like gray or red). What should have been done is all of the grayscale values in the original should have been mapped to alpha values, while all of the color values should have remained at pure black, which would allow the image to blend correctly on any color of background.

I would like to update this file because the visual identity of the government it represents has been changed. The actual logo now features different shades of green and blue.

This image is encoded as RGBA, even though that shouldn't be necessary. My tools told me that in its current form this could not be changed, so I took a closer look to figure out why. It turns out this image contains one errant column of useless transparent pixels on the far right, and one errant row of similarly useless transparent pixels at the very bottom. Cropping off the right-most column and bottom-most row of pixels makes the image completely opaque, allowing RGB encoding. This reduces the file size to 885 KB.

This file is encoded as 32-bits-per-pixel RGBA. This is rather dumb, because not only is this image completely opaque, it also only consists of shades of gray. This means I can reduce it to 8-bits-per-pixel Grayscale mode, resulting in a file that looks completely identical to the original, but is reduced to a file size of 6 MB.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that overwriting existing files has become very limited and as a result, ordinary users here regularly submit requests for allowing overwriting a file.
